A Survey Of The Attitudes Of Prospective And Experienced Secondary School Teachers Toward The Junior High School, Jeanne Burress Hubert

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The prospects for the future of the junior high or middle school movement are only as bright as the outlook for securing sufficient qualified and willing teachers. The need is clear. The junior highs and middle schools of our nation need more and better teachers—teachers by choice and by education prepared to work with pre-and young adolescents. The recruitment and preparation of such teachers is seriously hindered by 60 years of neglect, suppression and degradation forced upon the junior high and its teachers. The actual discriminatory practices of salary differences, qualification or ability differences, which forced the junior high to …

The Relationship Between Self-Concept, Intellectual Ability, Achievement, And Manifest Anxiety Among Select Groups Of Spanish-Surname Migrant Students In New Mexico., Geneva B. Gillman

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Nowhere in the world today, nor in time past, can an educational system be found which is charged with greater responsibilities than the American schools. Commager emphasized this idea when he stated that, "no other people ever demanded so much of education as have the American people. None other is served so well by its school and education." (Thayer, 1960). Even though the American schools are considered to have been better than those in most other areas of the world, the alarmingly high percentage of dropouts, as well as the increasing crime rate across our land, has caused educators to …

Sex-Role Identification And Achievement, Ronald Edwin Hull

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of the research was to test empirically the assertion that children at the preadolescent stage of development would evidence greater social-psychological reward and a higher level of achievement in school under the direction of male teachers than female teachers. An additional concern was to determine with whom boys and girls identify. More specifically, the study was designed to focus on three areas of human interaction: (1) Students' identification with their teachers, (2) Students' identification with others in primary relationships and with other role models, and (3) Students' self-concept in terms of masculinity­femininity traits. Forty-seven male and forty-eight female …
