Economic Development And The Arts, Jon Whitmore

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores how university arts programs can align with the broader mission of higher education to support state and regional economic development. It argues that while technology and research initiatives often dominate such efforts, the arts also contribute significantly through cultural impact, tourism, and community revitalization. Examples include the State University of New York at Buffalo’s involvement in downtown theatre redevelopment, the purchase and renovation of the Pfeifer Theatre, and partnerships with organizations such as Studio Arena Theatre, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Albright-Knox Gallery. These collaborations expanded educational opportunities for students while enhancing the cultural life of …

Using Students In The Theatre, Philip G. Hill

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the ethical challenges of involving students in theatre production, distinguishing between educational use and potential exploitation. It highlights how the demand for high-quality productions may tempt directors to prioritize product over process, sometimes at the expense of student learning. Issues such as typecasting, assigning menial tasks, and pressuring students into roles that conflict with personal beliefs or health are analyzed as potential forms of misuse. The discussion also addresses requests for student labor from outside groups, raising concerns about exploitation when no compensation or clear educational benefit is provided. The article concludes by proposing guiding principles: prioritizing …

The Future Of Theatre Education: Defining The Discipline, J. Robert Wills

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the ongoing challenges and future prospects of theatre education in higher education. It argues that despite a long history on college campuses, theatre has struggled to gain widespread respectability and to achieve consistent excellence. The discussion emphasizes two fundamental questions—“Who are we?” and “What do we do?”—which programs must answer to define their missions and philosophies. Nine persistent dilemmas are outlined, including the balance between tradition and innovation, vocational training and liberal learning, specialization and generalization, and the role of students as individuals rather than passive participants. Additional concerns involve weak exploration of new ideas, limited articulation …

The Future Of Theatre Education: The Research University, Milly S. Barranger

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article considers the future of theatre education in research universities, emphasizing both opportunities and challenges. Positive developments include the recognition of creative work as equivalent to scholarly research, the establishment of the MFA as a terminal degree in performance and production, and the growing prominence of dramaturgy as a field integrating scholarship with practice. Undergraduate curricula are increasingly modeled on broad-based core requirements, positioning theatre within general education. At the same time, declining budgets, faculty reductions, and overextended programs threaten stability. The article identifies two likely trends: greater emphasis on quality through program evaluation and national visibility, and stronger …

Bringing Communication Scholars Together: Wise Or Foolish?, Erwin P. Bettinghouse

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the question of whether communication-related disciplines should be merged into free-standing schools or colleges. It argues that the wisdom of such mergers depends on institutional type, the history and strength of the units involved, and the degree of intellectual similarity among them. Large universities with dominant arts and sciences colleges may disadvantage communication units if they separate, while smaller or more balanced institutions may provide opportunities for equal resource distribution. Past histories of strong or weak departments also influence outcomes, as disparities in size or reputation can create dominance or instability. The discussion stresses that intellectual kinship …

Actual And Ideal Role Perceptions Of Instructional Supervisors In The Public Schools Of Virginia, Sandra C. Richardson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of this study was to determine if differences existed in the perceptions of selected public school instructional supervisors regarding the amount of actual and ideal time allocated for identified supervisory roles. The study was conducted during the 1986-87 school year in Virginia. A questionnaire, developed by the researcher, was field tested through a six-week pilot study with 100 instructional supervisors in Virginia. Upon validation of the instrument, it was mailed to a randomly selected sample of 363 instructional supervisors in Virginia. A total of 220 respondents (60.6%) returned the questionnaire. Significant differences were found in perceived allocation of …

A Study Of Stress Factors Related To The Attrition Of Christian Reformed Church Missionary Personnel In A West African Work Environment, Dirk W. Vander Steen

Dissertations

Missionary attrition is a costly experience for North American mission boards. Debilitating stress, related to resignations and early withdrawal of missionaries has led to human suffering on the part of missionaries and financial losses for those who sponsor the mission overseas.

This study investigated the factors that were stressful for missionaries of the Christian Reformed Church that worked in West Africa and attempted to identify those stress factors that are primarily responsible for missionary attrition. Previous research, with other missions on other continents provided the basis for identifying factors related to missionary stress. A Likert-like scale was used to measure …

A Report Of A Review And Synthesis Of Findings Of Research Studies About Academic Achievement Of Ethnic Minorities In K-12 Education, Harold C. Wheeler

Masters Theses

The purpose of this report is to review and synthesize findings of research studies about academic achievement of ethnic minorities in K-12 education.

In this paper, the literature in Chapter I is related to findings about children as a result of school desegregation. Specifically it focuses on the effects which desegregation has had on motivation, and social-psychologic development of black and white children.

The second chapter begins with a historical background and discusses the life of economic and political oppression and the attitudes toward education that have shaped black school achievement over time.

In Chapter III, race and academic performance …
