An Analog For Validating Creative Endeavor As Equivalent To Scholarship, David A. Mccants, Janet M. Roncelli Apr 1984

An Analog For Validating Creative Endeavor As Equivalent To Scholarship, David A. Mccants, Janet M. Roncelli

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Focused on faculty evaluation in theatre, mass media, and oral interpretation, this article develops an analog between the assessment of scholarship and the assessment of creative endeavor. It identifies four elements in scholarly evaluation, including who evaluates, what works are reviewed, what criteria guide judgment, and how evidence of excellence is reported. The discussion then adapts those elements to creative work, emphasizing expert and impartial peer review, selective presentation of artistic evidence, creativity as a criterion of excellence, and structured reporting for promotion, tenure, and merit decisions. It defines creativity through altered appreciation, innovative artistic practice, and work that becomes …

What Is Communication?: Nailing Jello To The Wall, Frank E. X. Dance Apr 1984

What Is Communication?: Nailing Jello To The Wall, Frank E. X. Dance

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the difficulty of defining communication as both a subject matter and a disciplinary label. It reviews prior efforts to compare published definitions of communication and identifies recurring conceptual concerns, including interaction, human participation, information, intent, and evaluative judgments about communicative acts. The article proposes a family of related concepts for speech communication theory, distinguishing communication from information, speech, language, spoken language, signs, symbols, and vocalization. It argues that spoken language can serve as a central concern for human communication without limiting inquiry to speech acts alone. The article also addresses the relationship between subject matter and professional …

Defining The Field Of Communication, Erwin P. Bettinghaus Apr 1984

Defining The Field Of Communication, Erwin P. Bettinghaus

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article considers whether communication can or should be precisely defined as an academic field. It argues that meanings attached to communication change over time and that attempts to establish a single fixed definition are unlikely to resolve disciplinary uncertainty. Rather than limiting inquiry by excluding particular subjects, the article shifts attention to the role communication studies should play in higher education. It distinguishes between areas tied directly to professions or industries, such as journalism, advertising, theatre, and telecommunications, and areas focused on the production of knowledge about human communication, including interpersonal communication, rhetorical criticism, nonverbal behavior, and intercultural relations. …

Theatre Perspectives On The Field Of Communication, Donald L. Loeffler Apr 1984

Theatre Perspectives On The Field Of Communication, Donald L. Loeffler

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Theatre perspectives on communication are presented through an account of theatre as a communicative art and as a field connected to speech communication, performance, media, education, and allied disciplines. The article describes theatre production as a structured exchange of messages among playwrights, directors, actors, designers, technicians, and audiences. It emphasizes the director as a designer of communication who organizes voice, movement, space, design, timing, and audience response into a coherent performance experience. The article also situates theatre within broader communication studies by considering audience analysis, cultural expectations, media competition, and the professional preparation of theatre students. It concludes by encouraging …

Communication As A Field Of Research, James A. Anderson Apr 1984

Communication As A Field Of Research, James A. Anderson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Communication as a field of research is examined through the diversity of scholarly communities, research levels, methods, values, and traditions that shape the discipline. The article describes communication research as organized around sociological levels, elements of the communication process, and delimiting variables that form overlapping interest groups. It also considers how research perspectives, including managerial, policy, technological, industry, and critical orientations, influence questions, interpretations, and disciplinary conflicts. Rather than presenting communication as a unified field with a single object or method, the article identifies common threads that connect research communities, including the central role of communication in social behavior, the …

Evaluation: Reactivity And Validity, Samuel L. Becker Apr 1984

Evaluation: Reactivity And Validity, Samuel L. Becker

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

The article considers how evaluation systems for artistic faculty can change the behavior they are intended to assess. Focusing on reactivity and validity, it cautions that criteria for promotion, tenure, and reappointment may encourage faculty to pursue prizes, outside work, audience appeal, or individual credit in ways that may or may not support departmental goals. The discussion argues that institutions should align evaluation procedures with their actual missions, whether those missions emphasize artistic innovation, cultural service, or student education. It also distinguishes artistic criteria from educational criteria and urges administrators to consider the likely effects of each assessment method. The …

Applying The Creativity Criterion To Productions By Professors Of Radio, Television, And Sound Recording, Caren J. Deming Apr 1984

Applying The Creativity Criterion To Productions By Professors Of Radio, Television, And Sound Recording, Caren J. Deming

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

Addressing faculty evaluation in radio, television, and sound recording, this article responds to a model that treats creativity as analogous to originality in scholarship. It considers how outside reviewers might be identified, how candidate work should be selected for review, and how departments can document creative achievement for retention, tenure, and promotion. The discussion emphasizes the value of reviewer pools, careful attention to local and national standards, and narrative evaluation rather than numerical scoring. It also cautions that broadcast distribution, popularity, technology, intended audience, and market conditions may complicate judgments of quality. The article situates media production within communication administration …

Stormwater Detention Systems With Effluent Filtration, Linda M. Van De Graaff Jan 1984

Stormwater Detention Systems With Effluent Filtration, Linda M. Van De Graaff

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The growing concern for water quality enhancement of our surface waters has led to changes in detention facility design. Providing a filter media for the effluent water to travel through before discharge into the environment has become an area of interest. Thus, detention facilities may be used for both water quality and quantity control. Different soil medias were studied for the potential of pollutant removal and infiltration rates usable in design work. Both laboratory and field experimentation were performed. A computer program was also developed to model stormwater movement through a swale detention system. This research was performed to examine …

Wastewater Characterization And Treatability For Aneastern Coal Slurry, Mark J. Flint Jan 1984

Wastewater Characterization And Treatability For Aneastern Coal Slurry, Mark J. Flint

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

A complete wastewater characterization study was performed on an eastern Kentucky coal slurry after a 10-day circulation period in a 40 foot (12.2 m) pilot-scale pipeline. The resulting wastewater was settled and decanted for additional lime and alum treatability studies. Easter coal slurries were characterized by high TDS, conductivity, sulfates and iron. Significant concentrations of a number of trace metals were also found; however, organics were very low. Wastewater quality varied considerably among several experiments and was presumed to be influenced by different properties of the coal and the addition of a corrosion inhibitor. The major treatment concern was removal …
