The Nature Of The Middle School In Washington State - 1980, Edward Allen Barnhart
The Nature Of The Middle School In Washington State - 1980, Edward Allen Barnhart
All Master's Theses
The nature of the middle school in the state of Washington and its conformance to the middle school concept was studied. Eighty-four of the state's ninety-two middle school principals reported on programs and offerings in their schools. The study indicated that Washington middle schools conform favorably to the concept in all major areas except grading practices and athletic programs. The schools recognize a developmental stage of transescence and minister to it through child-child- centered rather than subject-centered programs. Further study is recommended to compare the middle school with the junior high school in the state of Washington.

A Survey Of Administrators' Attitudes Regarding The Effectiveness Of The Middle School, John Charles Epperson
All Master's Theses
This study was made in order to gain data pertinent to assess the need for change from junior high school to middle school. The study did indicate that a majority of middle school administrators believe that educational philosophy was more influential than was economic expediency in the creation of the middle school. It was evident that the majority of middle school administrators believe that the students served by the middle school are more tranquil, better disciplined, and taught better, because of the middle school structure.
Due to responses received, it is recommended that further study of achievement levels be made.
