The Video Camera As An Assessment Tool In The Acting Class, Iva Jean Saraceni

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article investigates the use of the video camera to reinforce formative and summative evaluation in acting pedagogy. Observing senior and junior cohorts across sequential course units, it outlines procedures for goal setting, performance recording, playback analysis, and criterion referenced feedback that convert evaluation into an active learning process. Findings indicate that scheduled taping elevates student preparation, fosters ensemble collaboration, sharpens self and peer critique, and produces archival evidence for curricular review, accreditation, and individualized advising. The discussion addresses instructor concerns about inhibition, vanity, and competitive grading, reporting that camera positioning respectful of audience perspective preserves theatrical authenticity while recorded …

Assessing Problem-Solving Abilities In The Theatre Curriculum: A Cummulative And Sequential Approach, Richard Runkel

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article proposes a cumulative, sequential framework for assessing problem solving skills within undergraduate theatre curriculum. Grounded in ability based education, the model traces student development across voice and movement, acting, and directing courses, aligning each stage with progressively complex cognitive and collaborative demands. Beginning with self evaluation of vocal and physical goals, learners advance to strategic scene analysis, then to rehearsal planning that orchestrates ensemble resources. Journals, performance documents, and instructor feedback create continuous evidence of growth, enabling students to articulate processes, diagnose challenges, and refine solutions. By embedding reflective practice, discipline specific vocabulary, and structured feedback loops into …

Issues And Strategies In Procurement, Robert C. Burroughs, Julius E. Erienbach, Dennis J. Sporre

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article offers a theatre administration guide to securing institutional funding, presenting a Five P framework: Planning, Proposal, Presentation, Persistence, and Personal Credibility. It stresses rigorous needs assessment, data driven budgeting, and alignment with institutional priorities during planning. The proposal phase advocates clear objectives, outcome focused rhetoric, and precise cost documentation. Effective presentation requires tailored persuasive communication and visual support to address decision makers’ priorities. The model then underscores strategic follow up, adaptive negotiation, and sustained relationship management as persistence tactics. Finally, it locates personal credibility in past performance, collaborative ethos, and professional demeanor, asserting that these qualities determine resource …

Faculty Perceptions Of Publication Expectations In The Small College Setting: Have The Rules Changed?, Bonnie Wilson Buzza

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines publication expectations in small college environments, describing survey data that compare faculty and dean perspectives on scholarship, tenure, promotion, and merit. Results indicate that respondents perceive at least a moderate, increasing need to publish, although faculty sense stronger pressure than administrators. Both groups rank conference papers and discipline currency as central evidence of scholarship, yet diverge on the value of journal articles, grant activity, and horizontal versus vertical research. Self imposed motivation emerges as the dominant driver, while promotion and tenure committees and administrative units exert additional influence. Chemistry and psychology are seen as the fields with …

Demands For Research And Publication At The Small College, Cindy Buell

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article traces the rising demand for faculty research and publication within small college settings and evaluates its impact on promotion and tenure decisions. Through critical synthesis of administrative reports, scholarly literature, and historical trends, the discussion identifies two intersecting drivers: the belief that scholarly activity strengthens teaching effectiveness, and institutional pursuit of academic visibility. Analysis reveals limited empirical support for a direct research teaching link, yet shows how heightened expectations intensify workload, create tension between administrators and faculty, and narrow tenure opportunities under quota systems. Drawing on case evidence of teaching loads, resource constraints, and evolving evaluation criteria, this …

The Collegiality Model: An Alternative For Evaluating Faculty Productivity, Richard A. Katula, Agnes Doody

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article proposes a collegiality model to replace the publish or perish paradigm that dominates faculty productivity evaluation in higher education. Drawing on organizational communication and scholarship studies, it critiques traditional reliance on publication counts, journal scarcity, and unequal reward structures that undervalue teaching, service, and creative inquiry. The collegiality model reconceives productivity as faculty presence, integrating classroom effectiveness, broad scholarly activity, community engagement, grant acquisition, and research whether or not it reaches print. Annual consultations with department chairs produce individualized workload profiles that balance institutional goals with personal strengths, supported by transparent assessment tools for teaching and scholarly contributions. …

A Review Of The Public Relations Courses Offered In Departments Of Colleges And Universities, Bonita Dostal Neff

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article reviews United States university catalogs to map public relations curriculum across academic disciplines. Content analysis identifies communication departments as the principal locus of course offerings, outpacing journalism, business, mass communication, and interdisciplinary units. Although journalism and mass communication once were presumed dominant, findings reveal substantial growth within liberal arts based communication programs, including robust five course sequences that meet professional accreditation guidelines. The study also shows that most programs are administratively situated in liberal arts colleges rather than journalism schools, challenging prevailing assumptions in national commission reports. By comparing departmental titles, administrative homes, and the prevalence of internship …

A Study Of Selected Faculty Handbooks: Policies On Promotion, Tenure, And Research, William W. Neher

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article analyzes faculty handbooks from United States liberal arts colleges to illuminate how academic governance codifies promotion and tenure standards. Through systematic content analysis, the study maps language governing academic freedom, probationary service, degree expectations, and research productivity, comparing these provisions with AAUP statements. Results show pronounced diversity. Teaching effectiveness consistently holds primacy, while scholarship is flexibly defined to include creative activity, consulting, and curricular innovation. Many institutions adopt religious or financial clauses, impose tenure quotas, or offer renewable multi year contracts, thereby modifying the classic permanence model. Degree requirements range from earned doctorate to appropriate terminal credential, and …

Computerized Instructional Responses: An Option For Providing Student Feedback, Kathleen German

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article demonstrates how microcomputer technology can streamline student feedback in communication courses by adapting standard word processing merge functions for instructional management. It outlines the creation of a master feedback file, construction of primary and secondary files, and execution of the merge process that personalizes critique sheets while reducing redundancy. Use cases span public speaking interpersonal communication writing intensive assignments and basic course administration, showing that computer managed instruction can enhance formative assessment, increase feedback specificity, and conserve instructor time. The discussion evaluates advantages such as improved critique quality, increased computer literacy, and scalable application across large enrollment programs, …

An Assessment Of The Utilization Of Permanent And Temporary Classrooms As It Relates To Cost And Efficiency In Selected School Divisions, E. Carlton Bowyer

Theses and Dissertations in Urban Services - Urban Education

In the mid-1900s there were over eighty thousand public school buildings in the United States housing approximately thirty-nine million pupils. Many were constructed thirty or forty years earlier and have approached the end of their useful life without requiring major retrofitting or replacement. Rising construction costs prompt school systems to investigate alternative means of housing rapidly growing student populations. This study traced the historical background of the school facility and the development of school construction relative to the function of education.

The focus of this study was to ascertain the current use of temporary and permanent housing in the fifty …
