Identification Of Underlying Curriculum Constructs Through Teachers' Interviews, Sandra L. Gordon

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study is a replication with modifications of the research of Bussis, Chittenden, and Amarel (1976) to determine if teachers' frames of reference concerning underlying curriculum constructs can be identified and classified as being broad, middle-range, or narrow. The two modifications are (1) a different population, and (2) use of the Physical Setting and Materials subsection of the work of Bussis and associates, rather than their total Teacher Interview. Since identifying and classifying teachers' frames of reference constitute a relatively new approach in education, this study is of a descriptive nature. Fifteen subjects participated, each one an experienced teacher of …

The Effects Of A Discussion Course On Pre-Student Teachers' Moral Reasoning, Raquel Bennett Holman

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study was undertaken to determine the effect of a cognitive-developmental moral discussion course on the moral reasoning of pre-student teachers as measured by scores on the Defining Issues Test. The specific objective of the course was to facilitate the advancement to postconventional (principled) thinking.

The population for the study consisted of 63 students enrolled in the pre-student teacher program at the University of New Mexico. From this population, 13 pre-student teacher volunteers became the experimental group. Those who did not volunteer became the control group.

The experimental group participated in the cognitive-developmental discussion course for a total of 19 …

The Practice Of Evaluation, Glenn F. Nyre

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

I was over thirty before I finalized my decision not to become a minister. But even now, as some of you know, I still occasionally give in to the urge to preach. Thanks to an invitation from the editor of the POD Quarterly, I now have an opportunity to do so on a regular basis-and on a topic close to my heart.

Evaluation is part and parcel of our POD jargon. Unfortunately, as is the case with some other concepts and practices we borrowed from our predecessors and colleagues in other fields, it is extremely misunderstood. Many of us …

Faculty Development With English Departments: Composition Resources, Fred Gilliard

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

College English departments generally teach classes in literature, composition, and language. The latter two have suffered because of preoccupation with the former, but have recently been more heavily emphasized in classrooms. Supposed declines in the communication skills of students earned notoriety through press releases about low SAT scores in the mid-1970's, raising a popular consciousness about basic skills; since the appearance of Newsweek's "Why Johnny Can't Write" in 1976, English teachers in the public schools and their teachers in the universities have-along with television, elective courses, a permissive society, etc.-been held accountable for the "communication crises." Unresolved debate continues …

The Pod Delphi Study, 1978, Lance C. Buhl, Stephen C. Scholl

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

What a supreme irony-and a surefire sign of irrelevance-were the Professional and Organizational Network in Higher Education (POD) to become stagnant, maladaptive, and unresponsive. To stave off these beasts of bureaucratization, the POD Core Committee has regularly utilized some form of membership survey to guide program planning. The most recent attempt at such a democratic strategy began over a year ago. The impetus for the decision evolved out of the Committee's 1977-78 deliberations on defining the mission of POD. Given the charge in October, 1977 to draft such a statement and to manage the Core Committee's decision-making process with respect …

Use Of Small Groups In Instructional Evaluation, D. Joseph Clark, Jean Bekey

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

The Biology Learning Resource Center (BLRC) at the University of Washington has been supporting faculty in instructional improvement for the past five years. In the summer of 1977 consultants from the BLRC began a structured system of intervention following the clinic model developed at the University of Massachusetts by Melnik and Allen (Bergquist and Phillips, 1977). An essential feature of the Clinic model is feedback from students, as well as from the consultant. Consultants observe typical classroom sessions, videotape instruction, administer questionnaires to students and conduct student interviews to develop a profile of teaching, including strengths and weaknesses. Information derived …

Programs And Practitioners: We Do What We Are, Stephen R. Phillips

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

Teaching has sometimes been described as "a function of personality." Although clearly an oversimplification of a complex and difficult activity, the concept nevertheless has considerable merit; what we as teachers can do or are willing to try in the classroom and in our relationships with our colleagues, our students, and our institutions is in many ways determined by what we are as people. In a similar way, what we as individuals involved in faculty development can or are willing to do with or for faculty, administrators and students is as much a function of our personalities as of the skills …

Editorial Information, Summer 1979

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

POD Quarterly is a publication of the Professional and Organizational Development (POD) Network in Higher Education. POD is an association of people bound together by an interest in improving higher education through faculty, instructional, and organizational development activities and programs. The Network was created in 1976 so that those who share common interests and concerns could exchange information, ideas, and resources; enhance professional skills; debate issues and strategies; and contemplate and plan for the future. The POD Quarterly is designed to further those aims through refereed articles about professional, organizational, and instructional development practice and research. It will also include …

Although an official and on-going questionnaire will evolve along with the Quarterly itself, what is needed at this time is input from the readership concerning emphases and directions for future issues. The desire of the Editorial Board is to publish a journal for POD-types which is topical, helpful, interesting and all sorts of other good things. Please let us know to what degree this has been achieved in this issue, as well as what you think should or could be done in the future, by answering the following questions.

Holding Power: Middle School Vs. Junior High School, Burton Erickson

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This was a study of three variables and their effect on two groups of students who dropped out of school during the tenth grade. One group had attended three full years of junior high school in Owensboro while the other group had attended three full years of middle school in Owensboro. The study also reviewed the programs and emphases of the junior high school and the middle school.

The students were compared on mean cumulative grade point average, mean percentage of absenteeism, and incidence of dropout during the tenth grade.

Statistical analysis of the respective sets of data showed that …

Navajo Aspectual Verb Stem Variation, Frank Wilton Hardy

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The present study of Navajo aspect has two related obJectives: (a) to define an aspect inventory for Navajo, and (b) to establish principled bases for choices made.

The problem is approached semantically and structurally. Semantically (chapter 1) the most fundamental expression of aspect is some form of the opposition between a point and a line temporally. Structurally there are two verbal systems that carry such information. These are given different labels (tense, aspect), but both convey aspect semantically.
