The Effect Of Work-Study Programs On Certain Student Behaviors, Stanley Schneider

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

With the number of drop-outs on the increase, the federal, state and local agencies, as well as private industry, have become involved with methods of student retention. The Vocational Amendments of 1968 have given impetus to work-study programs of various types for the possible retention of these students.

The null hypothesis of this study was that the work-study programs examined do not change the characteristics of the potential drop-out which were used to identify him as a potential drop-out.

All Master's Theses

Cooperative Work Programs of many types exist at different educational levels in the United States. Specifically, the Cooperative Work Programs in Office Administration have undergone a rapid increase in this country over the last decade. The national expansion of the two-year college system has added greatly to this growth as has the passage of the Vocational Act of 1963 and the Amendments of the Act in 1968. However, the lack of studies regarding the effectiveness of these programs, particularly at the two-year college level, indicates that an information and measurement gap exists in cooperative program information. Both college administrators and …

An Investigation Of Public School Policies And Practices Regarding Married Or Pregnant High School Students In The State Of Washington, James L. Hoff

All Master's Theses

As a result the public high school, by nature of its position, is being forced to deal with matters both approved of and disapproved of by society. The problem thus becomes, how can the school deal with this situation and make adjustments that will best accomplish …
