Report, Immediate Emotional Responses To The Southern California Firestorms, 1994, E. Alison Holman, Roxane Cohen Silver Jan 1994

Report, Immediate Emotional Responses To The Southern California Firestorms, 1994, E. Alison Holman, Roxane Cohen Silver

Natural Hazards Center Collection

"It is often assumed that immediate emotional responses to a disaster will invariably and uniformly be negative. It is also commonly assumed that the severity of trauma has a 'dose-response' relationship with the severity of distress experienced post-disaster. The present study tested the validity of these assumptions in a sample of residents from communities affected by the South California firestorms."

Why Production Function Analysis Is Irrelevant In Policy Deliberations Concerning Educational Funding Equity, Jim C. Fortune Nov 1993

Why Production Function Analysis Is Irrelevant In Policy Deliberations Concerning Educational Funding Equity, Jim C. Fortune

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… In this paper threats to the validity of these correlational methods for analysis of expenditure-achievement data are discussed and an alternative method of investigation is proposed. The proposed method is illustrated using data from two states (Ohio and Missouri). The method demonstrates relationships between expenditures and achievement that were overlooked by the production function method.

Technology Refusal And The Organizational Culture Of Schools, Steven Hodas Sep 1993

Technology Refusal And The Organizational Culture Of Schools, Steven Hodas

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… This paper proposes that technology is never neutral: that its values and practices must always either support or subvert those of the organization into which it is placed; and that the failures of technology to alter the look-and-feel of schools more generally results from a mismatch between the values of school organization and those embedded within the contested technology.

Evidence, Ethics And Social Policy Dilemmas, Steven I. Miller, L. Arthur Safer Jul 1993

Evidence, Ethics And Social Policy Dilemmas, Steven I. Miller, L. Arthur Safer

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… This paper attempts to examine what we will call the "evidence-ethics-policy triad." Our initial claim will be that while the "ethical" component of the triad has increasingly become an important consideration in the conduct of social policy inquiry, its actual influence on the formulation of social policy is minimal, at best, and, at worse, irrelevant. ...

Learning On The Job: Understanding The Cooperative Education Work Experience, Alison I. Griffith Jun 1993

Learning On The Job: Understanding The Cooperative Education Work Experience, Alison I. Griffith

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

Cooperative learning programs in Ontario provide on the job learning experiences for students. This paper analyzes three cases of student work placements described in extensive interviews with students, teachers and co-workers. Some students had enjoyed their work experience while others had not. When the student experiences were situated in the socially organized work processes of the work sites, the diverse experiences were found to have a common theme. When students are able to participate in and make sense of the work process, their work placement experience was seen to be useful for making future employment decisions. Where students were marginal …

Merging Educational Finance Reform And Desegregation Goals, Deborah M. Kazal-Thresher Jun 1993

Merging Educational Finance Reform And Desegregation Goals, Deborah M. Kazal-Thresher

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

… This paper explores how desegregation goals can be merged with educational finance reform to more systematically address educational quality in schools serving low income and minority populations. By moving toward centralized control over school financing, the inequity of school outcomes that are based on unequal school resources can be reduced. In addition, state determined expenditures when combined with desegregation monies, would meet the original intention of desegregation funds by clearly providing add-on monies for additional services for minority children, while at the same time, creating a better monitoring mechanism.

Students And Educational Productivity, Benjamin Levin May 1993

Students And Educational Productivity, Benjamin Levin

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

The literature on productivity in education is extensive. The object of this effort is to find a production function--a mathematical expression of the relationship between inputs and outputs in education. In this paper, the status of the literature on production functions is reviewed. Most of these approaches have seen schooling as something that is done to students, rather than thinking about education as something that students essentially do for themselves. An argument is developed that makes students the key factors in shaping school outcomes, and therefore a central focus of our thinking about productivity. The paper concludes with suggestions for …


Anti-Intellectualism In U.S. Schools, Aimee Howley, Edwina P. Pendarvis, Craig B. Howley May 1993

Anti-Intellectualism In U.S. Schools, Aimee Howley, Edwina P. Pendarvis, Craig B. Howley

Education Policy Analysis Archives (EPAA)

In this essay we present an argument about the relationship between schools' intellectual mission and their role in advancing social justice. In providing an argument of this sort, we claim neither to present a comprehensive review of literature nor to analyze specific educational policies. Rather, we bring together findings about certain features of schools in the United States that we believe contribute to their anti-intellectualism. This examination allows us to tell a story about schools that we think needs to be told; and it also elaborates a frame of reference from which to reconsider schools' mission and practice. Reframing these …
