A Study Of Grade Retention & Social Promotion In The Mclean County, Kentucky School District, John Settle Jr.

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Samples from two populations, students socially promoted into McLean County High School in the years 1976- 1979, who had not been retained, and students who entered McLean County High School during the same years who had been retained at one or more grade levels, 1-8, were compared. Comparisons of differences which existed in the two student groups selected for the sample were in five areas: (1) reported attitude toward school, (2) attendance, (3) number of discipline offenses, grades 9-11, (4) scores on the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills, Form S, in the subtests of reading and math as measured at; …

A Comparison Of The Admission Criteria Of Kentucky's Junior Colleges, Janet Walters

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

Students intending to enter a Junior College in Kentucky can learn of the admission requirements from the catalog published by that college. However, admission requirements vary between colleges. Each admission requirement of Kentucky's Junior Colleges was ranked in terms of its importance to the admission process by admission counselors. It was found that the high school transcript was felt by a majority of the admission counselors to be the most important admission requirement presently used. The partial high school transcript and recommendation form or letter were deemed to be the least important criteria. The results of the evaluation further indicated …

Evaluation Designs, Clare Rose

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

The evaluation models described in previous issues of the Quarterly represent some of the major paradigms of educational program evaluation; they have been used to guide many evaluations and they have influenced the thinking of many practicing evaluators. Models provide a broad base for designing evaluation activities by offering a framework and conceptualization that guides both the focus of the evaluator and the orientation of the evaluation. But models do not provide strategies for implementation. Guidelines are provided by the design, which establishes the conditions and procedures for collecting the data required to answer the questions of concern. The design …

Faculty Development: The Personal Odyssey Of A Young Faculty Member, Michael Eric Siegel

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

During the 1960's, there was a good deal of concern about college students. Brought up and socialized in a peaceful, prosperous era, showered with love and affection by their parents, and provided with the finest education and life-style that money could buy, American youth experienced a series of shocks when they confronted the unfortunate realities of their own society (prejudice, inequality, etc.), and the seemingly brutal conduct of that society toward other societies (the Vietnam War). Students responded to these shocks passionately, rejecting the values of their parents, dreaming of a more harmonious world, and challenging their educational institutions to …

Guidelines For Successful Evaluation Programs, Peter Seldin

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

In recent years, it has become as commonplace in American colleges and universities for students to grade professors as for professors to grade students. Despite the impressive growth of student evaluations, controversy over their use continues without letup. Unfortunately, it has been exacerbated by the not infrequent misuse of student feedback. To facilitate more appropriate and equitable use of student evaluation, this paper will present specific strategy suggestions and general guidelines to help implement and maintain successful programs.

Using A Content / Behavior Matrix In The Instructional Planning Process, Michael Koffman

POD Quarterly: The Journal of the Professional and Organizational Development Network in Higher Education

Instruction is more likely to be successful when the instructor is clear about his/her goals. Upon this axiom, a large number of instructional practices are based. One derivative of this axiom is the following: instruction is more likely to be efficient and effective when the instructor can state his/her instructional goals in clear behavioral objectives. To further clarify the instructor's goals, one might undertake a task analysis, job analysis, content analysis, an analysis of competencies, a needs analysis and/or a learning hierarchy. The results of such "front-end" analyses are usually displayed in the form of page after page of goals, …

Development Of A Model Of Technical Education For The Country Of Malawi, Tommy H. Nkungula

Dissertations

The social, political, and economic development of Malawi has brought with it rising expectations among the people, especially the youth. These aspirations cause the youth to quest for better food, clothing, housing, health and education. However, in order to escape from the poverty and misery there must be greater emphasis on the preparation of the youth for gainful employment. This calls for restructuring of the present educational system to make it suited to the needs of the people in Malawi. But to develop a system geared to providing individuals with skills necessary to enhance their human expectations and economic development …

Standard Setting In Accounting And Auditing: Considerations For Educational Evaluation, Jeri P. Ridings

Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to propose a plan for guiding the ongoing standard-setting process in educational evaluation. The strategy used was to identify standard-setting issues, consider how other fields that have been successfully engaged in the standard-setting process have dealt with these issues, and propose how the field of educational evaluation might deal with these issues.

The experience in standard setting by the fields of accounting and auditing provided the structure for the study. These fields were chosen because they have been successful in setting and using standards for self-regulation, the function of standards which is perhaps most …

A Study Of Decision Origins And Their Relationship To Selected Elementary Principals' Consultative Responses In Decision-Making Situations, Shawn Peter Dryer

Dissertations

The Problem. The purpose of this inquiry was to study elementary principals' responses to decisions. Situations that required a decision from the principal originated: (1) with superordinates, (2) with peers, (3) with the principal himself, (4) with subordinates, (5) with students, and (6) outside the formal school organization. The principals' responses studied were: (1) rely on self, (2) consult with a confidante, (3) consult with a group, (4) delegate the decision to others, and (5) decide to make no decision. Further purposes of the study were to: (1) assemble and analyze data related to decision origins and principals' responses, (2) …
