Advanced Ocularmetrics: Graphing Multiple Time Series Residual Data, David E. Drew

CGU Faculty Publications and Research

The desirability of randomized experiments (see Gilbert, Light, & Mosteller, 1975) and the usual need for quasi-experimental designs (because real programs rarely can be administered randomly) are staples of the evaluation literature. Campbell (1969) and others long have advocated the need for acquisition and analysis of longitudinal data in such evaluations.

Today's graduate students dutifully study trend data from the famous Connecticut crackdown on speeding and the British Breathalyser experiment to learn how graphs can be interpreted to shed light on possible program effects. Inevitably, the data portrayed represent zero-order effects. An outcome is plotted over time, or several graphs …

Planning, Implementing, And Using A Media Center, Dorathea Tatum Stewart

Graduate Research Papers

Nearly every teacher in our schools today feels the pressure of too little time and too much to do. Although school administrators cannot provide all the help that is wanted and, perhaps, needed at one time. the teacher can find help from one source in nearly every school-- the library or media center and the specialists in this field.

To understand this help offered by the librarian and audiovisual specialist and the services of the media c:enter, let us first look at the place of the media center in the modern schools and how it has developed.

Early Childhood Centers In Metropolitan Omaha, Mildred Hill

Publications

Do we as communities recognize the importance of education--early educational experiences? The number of day care and early childhood educational experiences in the metropolitan area would suggest that as a community, we have miles to go and promises to keep if we are to enlarge upon and foster the potential of each child. Our leadership for the next generation will be the product of today's cradle. Early childhood experiences can contribute immeasurably to the cognitive growth of young children. This city needs to be aware of what experiences are now avail able and to see how it can foster the …

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

California Schools have experienced an unprecedented growth during the past several years. Enrollments in many school districts within the state have more than doubled since the end of World War II.

It will take only an estimated five years to enroll the third million by 1958.¹ Practically every California school system, therefore, is faced with the continuing problem of providing more classrooms to house these new pupils. To provide funds for additional …
