A Process Model For Educational Change, Its Development And Use As An Evaluative Instrument., Roger L. Harrell

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The Santa Fe Public Schools have recently experienced an educational change. The formal organizational 'structure of the secondary curriculum has been changed from a one-track to a four-track system of comprehensive education. This change received official board approval on March 16, 1965.

Undoubtedly, the local Board of Education was convinced that 0anta Fe needed a four-track organizational structure in its secondary schools. How was the change brought about? Who was involved? Was it planned change? If so, what principles or steps were followed in the change process? These are just a few of the questions which prompted this study.

This study intends to apply the plan to the high school districts of an entire county so that the financial impact of the newly-adopted approach upon small as well as large districts will be thoroughly understood.

Some Trends In American Education As Evidenced By An Analysis Of Articles Appearing In School And Society, The Atlantic Monthly And Harper's Magazine For Fifteen Years, 1945 Throught 1959., Agnes Catherine Brebner

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The crises through which the world has passed and the demands for reconstruction to repair the losses caused by World War II, as well as the challenge to democracy, have intensified the recognition of the important part to be played in education. The insights, the skills, and the knowledge that might have enabled citizens to live successfully at the beginning of this century appear to be too inadequate today. Our world has become a complex technological maelstrom of rapid mobility, constant change, and interdependence in which the citizen must acquire certain critical abilities in order to survive. In the past …

The Relationship Of Creativity To Achievement And Other Student Variables., Woodrow G. Mayhon

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

From Chapter 1:

The definition of giftedness solely in terms of high IQ has never seemed satisfactory, but in spite of the apparent inadequacy of the IQ metric, the practice during this century has been to regard the intelligence score as representative summary of the full range of primary mental abilities and cognitive

processes that an individual is capable of exhibiting. This practice has been challenged sporadically ever since the inception of mental abilities tests, most often on the grounds that this concept of excellence binds us to a single form of cognitive giftedness, the high IQ

Such a restricted …

An Investigation Into Language-Concept Development Of Primary School Pueblo Indian Children, Joyce Morris

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

In 1936, Dr. Lloyd Tireman conducted a study in which he analyzed the reading performance of Spanish-speaking children in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The results of this study showed that these children performed slightly above grade level in the first and second grades, but that they began to drop below grade level in the third grade. This drop continued through the grades until, in the eighth grade, these children were performing two years below grade level. In explaining this later drop in performance, Dr. Tireman suggested as a possible cause:

The strict control of reading vocabulary breaks down in the intermediate …

A Teacher Opinion Study Of Grouping In Classroom Organization., Florian Perea

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Conscientious and devoted teachers have for years been aware of the problem that grouping poses in classroom organization. For years they have known that in order to reach every pupil in their classroom something must be done. Teachers have constantly sought for proficiency of technique and methodology that would enable them to provide more adequately for the needs of school children. They have attended institutions of higher learning where they might obtain the knowledge of the latest explorations in the field. The recommended methodology has changed from one technique to another. Wilhelms and Gibson (1961, pp. 410-411) remind us that …
