Homeschooling And The Redefinition Of Citizenship, A. Bruce Arai Sep 1999

Homeschooling And The Redefinition Of Citizenship, A. Bruce Arai

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… This paper reviews the research on homeschooling, as well as the major objections to it, and frames these debates within the broader issues of citizenship and citizenship education. The paper shows that homeschoolers are carving out a different but equally valid understanding of citizenship and that policies which encourage a diversity of understandings of good citizenship should form the basis citizenship education both for schools and homeschoolers.

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

This policy study analyzes how they [Arizona] were able to achieve this elusive result. Key policy makers attended to four significant features of policy implementation in creating the charter school policy: communication, financial resources, implementor attitudes, and bureaucratic structure. Manipulating these key variables allowed policy

Facing The Consequences: Identifying The Limitations Of How We Categorize People In Research And Policy, Cynthia Wallat, Carolyn Steele Jul 1999

Facing The Consequences: Identifying The Limitations Of How We Categorize People In Research And Policy, Cynthia Wallat, Carolyn Steele

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Social policy researchers and policy rules and regulation writers have not taken advantage of advances in assessing ways in which social representations of ideas about people can convey alternative explanations of social life. During the past decade a growing number of scholars have considered how representational practices and the representations that are outcomes of such practices have value. Neglecting to consider representational practices has consequences including failure to mobilize and sustain alternative ideologies that reject narrow perspectives on families and communities. ...

The Effects Of High Median Age On Currency Of Resources In Community College Library Collections, Anna H. Perrault, Richard Madaus, Ann Armbrister, Jeannie Dixon, Rhonda Smith Jul 1999

The Effects Of High Median Age On Currency Of Resources In Community College Library Collections, Anna H. Perrault, Richard Madaus, Ann Armbrister, Jeannie Dixon, Rhonda Smith

School of Information Faculty Publications

In 1998, a comprehensive study was conducted of the monograph collections of the twenty-eight public community colleges in Florida. This article reports the findings of that study with respect to median age and currency of resources. The rationale for the interpretation of the findings in the Florida Community College Collection Assessment Project is congruent with the philosophy that college collections should emphasize the instructional and curricular needs of students and, therefore, that the collections should emphasize current resources rather than retrospective depth. The findings on median age from the Florida Community College study serve as an example for the discussion …

Supporting Community-Oriented Educational Change: Case And Analysis, Linda Mabry, Laura Ettinger Apr 1999

Supporting Community-Oriented Educational Change: Case And Analysis, Linda Mabry, Laura Ettinger

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

A study of a federally funded program to develop and implement community-oriented social studies curricula and curriculum-based assessments grounds cautions for educational change initiatives. In this case, despite the project director's stated intent to support teachers' desire for instruction regarding local culture and history, top-down support for classroom-level change evidenced insensitivity. Production and implementation of the planned curricula and assessments was obstructed by teacher's lack of cultural identification with the targeted community groups, workload, competing institutional priorities, inadequate communication, and organizational politics. Professional development was sometimes beneficial but more often ineffective - either perfunctory, unnecessary, or disregarded. The findings offer …

Contextualizing Homeschooling Data: A Response To Rudner, Kariane Mari Welner, Kevin G. Welner Apr 1999

Contextualizing Homeschooling Data: A Response To Rudner, Kariane Mari Welner, Kevin G. Welner

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Rudner (1999) presents the results of a survey and testing program, administered by Bob Jones University (BJU), for homeschooling students. In this response, we applaud Rudner's contribution to building a greater understanding of the homeschooling movement. However, we also voice a strong concern that what Rudner contributed with one hand, he took back with the other. We contend that Rudner's analysis of the BJU data fails to offer a straightforward explanation of important and striking limitations. The unfortunate result is an inaccurate portrayal of homeschoolers as a white, Christian, monolithic population. Although the results of Rudner's analyses are likely valid …

Hiring Policy In United States Spanish Departments: Considerations Of Social Class, National Origin, And Ethnicity, Jerry Hoeg, Eric Cohen, Christine Fullen Apr 1999

Hiring Policy In United States Spanish Departments: Considerations Of Social Class, National Origin, And Ethnicity, Jerry Hoeg, Eric Cohen, Christine Fullen

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The present study focuses on two inter-related factors specific to United States college and university Spanish Departments: the unique demographic profile of the entry-level faculty in terms of gender, ethnicity, national origin, and social class; the relation between these factors and hiring practices, especially regarding field of specialization, pay scale, and tenure-track opportunities. We believe these issues are important in that they underscore the value of considering questions of social class as well as ethnicity and gender when analyzing academic job segmentation.

Investigación En Educación En América Latina: Una Continuación Del Debate, Abdeljalil Akkari, Soledad Pérez Mar 1999

Investigación En Educación En América Latina: Una Continuación Del Debate, Abdeljalil Akkari, Soledad Pérez

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

We consider Narodowski's reaction (1999) published by Education Policy Analysis Archives as Volume 7 Number 2 to be an invitation to a fruitful debate on education in Latin America. We want first to call attention to the fact that our original article - EPAA 6(7) - was not exhaustive; we never attempted to present all aspects of educational research in Latin America, an effort that would require the attention of several teams of researchers and numerous written works. Our objective, modest as it is, it to take a closer look at the evolution of educational research and to launch the …
