Megatrends In Speech Communication: Theory And Research, Stephen W. Littlejohn

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article identifies broad shifts that the author terms megatrends in the development of speech communication theory and research. These megatrends refer to large scale movements that encompass smaller, related changes across the field. The essay outlines five such trends. The first is an intensified role for speech communication in bridging divisions among subfields, particularly the separation between interpersonal and mass communication that has emerged in the wider interdisciplinary study of communication. The second is a growing concern with policy implications, reflected in increased attention to social issues, applied research, and the needs of special populations. The third trend is …

A Matter Of Choice, Frank E. X. Dance

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay advances a theoretical argument linking liberal education to the human capacity for symbolic choice. It begins by contrasting the restrictive condition of slavery with the freedom made possible through intentional decision making, framing liberal education as a process that fosters autonomy rather than vocational preparation. The discussion traces the historical emergence of symbolic capacity as the defining feature of human communication, distinguishing symbols from signs and emphasizing the role of spoken language in enabling decentering from immediate circumstance. Through this process, individuals develop self awareness, the ability to conceptualize alternatives, and the capacity for deliberate choice. The essay …

Liberal Arts Education And The Communication Arts And Sciences Discipline, Philip Emmert

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay examines the relationship between the communication arts and sciences and the goals of liberal arts education, arguing that the discipline’s distinct contribution lies in its focus on the spoken word and the cognitive and behavioral changes that accompany its study. The author reviews the historical roots of American liberal arts education and notes its longstanding orientation toward preparing students to function effectively within their environments. He contends that contemporary discussions often overlook this practical heritage. Responding to earlier essays in the collection, the author argues that while theatre, mass communication, communication disorders, and speech communication each offer persuasive …

Seminar And Programs To Stress Evaluation, Robert K. Tiemens

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This bulletin section outlines the Association for Communication Administration’s thirteenth annual seminar, centered on evaluation of programs, faculty, and administrative practices. The announcement describes eight scheduled sessions addressing tenure productivity, administrative strategies, program health amid financial pressures, and the trend toward unifying communication disciplines under broader departmental umbrellas. Other sessions examine evaluation of artistic work through the Oxford Accord and the challenges of academic administration in varying institutional contexts. The issue also notes co-sponsored programs with other associations, including sessions on mentoring and on media and performance assessment. The seminar was held in conjunction with the 1985 annual convention in …

In Defense Of Mass Communication As A Liberal Art, Robert K. Tiemens

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This essay defends mass communication as a legitimate component of the liberal arts and responds to criticisms both from outside and within the communication discipline. The author argues that mass communication courses address fundamental questions about the social, political, and cultural influence of media and therefore extend far beyond technical training. The discussion emphasizes that liberal education requires understanding how mediated symbols shape public life and contends that studying the effects, practices, and history of broadcasting aligns directly with liberal arts aims. The essay also notes that accrediting standards already require a strong ratio of liberal arts coursework for mass …

A Study Of Principals’ Supervisory Methods And Emphases In Tennessee School Systems, Bobby J. Bowers

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of this study was to determine if there were differences in principals' supervisory emphases and practices in school systems where the superintendent is appointed and in school systems where the superintendent is elected by popular vote. A total of three hundred principals was surveyed using a Supervisory Practices Inventory developed by Albert and Judith Canfield. The principals responded to questions about supervisory emphasis and practices. The supervisory emphases areas were people, tasks or results, paralleling those developed by Peter Drucker and George Odiorne. The other area of response was in supervisory practices. Three methods were measured by the …

A Survey On Censorship In Missouri Secondary Schools, Janie Hutchinson Walker

Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine by a general survey the extent of censorship in Missouri secondary schools. This survey was intended to obtain information regarding districts selection policies, policies pertaining to censorship procedures, actual incidence of censorship cases, titles found objectionable, and reasons for objections. It was also intended to elicit individual librarians' opinions regarding censorship cases in their school district and on contributing to a statewide newsletter on issues pertinent to censorship.

In this study, surveys were sent to a random sampling of 106 of the 546 school districts listed in the 1983-84 Missouri School Directory. …

A Complete Revision Of The Union School Corporation Board Of Trustees Policy Manual, Alan H. Tasson

Masters Theses

The policy manual of the Union School Corporation had not been changed or updated since 1974. This was a concern of the Board of School Trustees, administration and the instructional staff. It was necessary to research any changes in the law, state rules, and administrative guidelines in advance of completely revising the policy manual. . The newly written manual as presented in this project will be adopted by the Union School Corporation Board of School Trustees during this school year.

The Seamless Web: The Interface Of Speech Communication Professionals At The College And K–12 Levels, Kathleen M. Galvin

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the interdependence of colleges and K 12 schools and argues that meaningful educational reform requires sustained collaboration across levels. It begins by noting the renewed national concern over elementary and secondary education following prominent reports and describes the persistent attitudinal barriers that hinder cooperation, including declining public regard for teaching and a pervasive tendency within universities to devalue K 12 work. The article then outlines a series of actions for speech communication professionals, emphasizing strengthened affiliations with schools, improved teacher preparation, expanded research on instructional communication, and active guidance of institutional responses to national educational critiques. Detailed …

Poke The Bottom Of The Fire, John Lee Jellicorse

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the administrative challenges created by the increasingly narrow and peripheral preparation of some doctoral and MFA graduates in communication. It argues that many candidates lack grounding in core disciplinary history, theory, and pedagogy, showing strong specialization without awareness of the field’s breadth or traditions. The discussion describes how this trend complicates hiring, weakens disciplinary coherence, and leads to duplication of communication courses when such graduates secure appointments outside communication units. These developments strain curricula, undermine departmental identity, and reinforce claims that communication lacks a substantive disciplinary core. The article urges graduate programs to strengthen breadth, disciplinary interdependence, …

Practical Problems Facing Communication Administrators, Thelma D. Curl

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article outlines two central challenges confronting communication administrators in financially constrained, state supported institutions. The first problem is the impact of budget reductions on staffing, curriculum, and faculty development. Shrinking appropriations and limited external resources have led to hiring freezes, increased class sizes, teaching overloads, and reliance on part time instructors. These conditions weaken faculty morale, complicate promotion and tenure processes, reduce opportunities for research and travel, and curtail scholarships, cultural programming, and curricular innovation. Fiscal pressures further force departments to rely on FTE driven decisions that may jeopardize upper level instruction and student retention. The second problem concerns …
