The problem
This study introduced a nine week course of consumer mathematics in a seventh grade mathematics class in a consolidated junior high school in central New Mexico. The three hypotheses tested were that students in a seventh grade class taught subject content from consumer mathematics: (1) would learn traditional skills and applications involving decimals, ratios and percent as well as or better than another seventh grade class taught from the assigned text book; (2) would learn applications of arithmetic skills to consumer-oriented problems as well as or better than students taught from an assigned textbook; (3) Would undergo a …

The first major objective for this investigation was to study the historical development of the undergraduate program in teacher education in the Department of Elementary Education at the University of New Mexico. The second major objective was to show the direction in which the Department appears to be going along with a rationale for that movement.
In order to accomplish these objectives, the study was divided into three maJor areas: the history of the Departmental program (1962-1968), the current program (1968-1973), and the projected future alternatives for undergraduate teacher preparation in the Department.

The present study was an investigation of the sources of job attitudes of school superintendents. The study sample consisted of forty of the eighty-eight superintendents in the State of New Mexico. Demographic data indicated that the sample approximated the national group of school superintendents along several important dimensions, including age, experience, and formal preparation.
The study utilized as its conceptual base the Herzberg Dual-Factor Theory of job satisfaction. The methodology of the study closely approximated that used in the empirical research reported by Herzberg, Mausner, and Snyderman. The presen1t study supports Herzberg' s thesis that the factors associated with job …
From Teacher To Principal: The Rites Of Passage, Jerome J. Miller
From Teacher To Principal: The Rites Of Passage, Jerome J. Miller
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
This study dealt with the upward movement of aspirants from the role of teacher to the role of principal. The Hall's movement was viewed from the context of Van Gennep's "rites of passage" and sponsorship. Van Gennep conceptualized the movement from one role to another in three stages. These stages are: (1) separation, (2) transition, and (3) incorporation. Sponsorship is a mechanism for organizational control and serves as a mechanism to facilitate or hinder movement within the organization.
The findings of the study suggest that sponsors within the school system resemble the elders of the tribe. By right of their …
Effects Of Dictation And Transcription Instruction On Transcription Errors In Beginning Shorthand, Jean A. Berch
Effects Of Dictation And Transcription Instruction On Transcription Errors In Beginning Shorthand, Jean A. Berch
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
Lloyd (1972) suggested the importance of simulating realistic business conditions in the classroom to strengthen vocabulary in specific content areas to aid students in the dictation-transcription process. In addition, Turse (1961) also emphasized the fact that students must be able to apply "word sense" when transcribing if they are to retain the correct meaning of the sentence when substituting words of similar meaning for missing shorthand outlines.
The purpose of this study was to determine if various types of instructional techniques given prior to dictation and transcription aid students in reducing their number of transcription errors. Subjects were assigned to …
