This study is the third in a series of reports of the Reading-to-Write Project, a collaborative study of students' cognitive processes at one critical point of entry into academic performance. This part of the study examines the problem that teachers have in judging whether textual signals that students use to indicate a persuasive analysis of source material are or are not enacted in their discussions. Subjects, 69 students enrolled in a freshman composition course (36 in the control group and...

The "symbol systems approach" to the study of computers in education that is outlined avoids the pitfalls of past media research--particularly research on the effects of television on children's learning and knowledge--and asserts that media can be usefully distinguished in terms of the symbol systems they present and the kinds of symbol-using skills they evoke, afford, or inculcate. Early media research questions are criticized for their naive assumptions, inadequate distinctions,...

Everyone concerned with educational systems performance agrees that the improvement of teaching qualities is a high priority in any educational effort. Teachers are assigned the role of change agents and are presented with new challenges, e.g., to make education global and permanent, flexible enough to serve in any environment (in or out of the classroom) for life, and reflective of the community. Teachers have to learn to adapt creatively to changes in science and technology and to prepare...

Forty private colleges that experienced rapid revenue decline from 1973 to 1976 were assessed in relation to factors accounting for recovery from financial decline. One subset of the 40 colleges showed dramatic recovery in total revenues during 1976 to 1979; the other continued to decline. These groups are compared, using data from the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS). Attention is directed to financial characteristics, variables that are less subject to management (such as...

The effects of a test coaching program, "Scoring High on the California Achievement Test," were investigated with a sample of 876 students in grades 1, 2, 4, and 5. Multivariate analyses of variance were used to determine the effects of the program, grade level, sex, and race. Significant differences in favor of the Scoring High program were found on some of the subtest scores of the California Achievement Tests (CAT). Significant interaction effects prevented a straightforward...

Research attention on men who batter their female partners has focused on psychological and personality characteristics of the men. However, occupational status, educational attainment, and abuse history may have been confounded with the personality variables studied. This study made within-group and between-group comparisons of batterers and nonbatterers selected for "good" or "poor" psychosocial and demographic characteristics such as employment history, educational...

An average of 33.5 percent of school district expenditures is spent on classroom teachers' compensation in Wisconsin elementary schools. The range varies from a low of 21.4 percent to a high of 45.9 percent. Financial data were analyzed from the survey responses of 110 of Wisconsin's 431 districts. The reasons for the average proportion spent on teachers and the great differences among districts are not clear. Substantial variations across districts in costs per pupil, number of pupils per...

Through dynamic testing (the notion that tailored testing can be extended to the use of a learning oriented approach to assessment), analysis were made of how motivational, personality, and cognitive style factors interact with assessment approaches to yield performance data. Testing procedures involving simple feedback, elaborated feedback, and subject verbalization were applied to the Raven Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM), a test of nonverbal intelligence, and selected Piaget measures,...

Numerous scientific investigations show that air inside office buildings and residences can be contaminated by a large variety of toxic contaminants, some in concentrations sufficient to adversely affect the health of those exposed. The internal building environment of new or recently remodeled buildings may be responsible for illnesses sometimes referred to as "tight building syndrome" or "sick building syndrome."

A literature review was conducted to discover what programs, philosophies, and methodologies are recommended on the college level for teaching oral Standard English (SE) to speakers of Vernacular Black English (VBE) and to suggest areas of research needs in oral SE training. Most of the speech communication courses in this area are part of remedial programs, with students being required to take the courses because of low scores on standardized tests. Some educators, however, object to this...

An earlier study showed that responses are remembered better when subjects produce them from cues, than when subjects read cue-response pairs. The decided memory advantage for generated targets relative to read ones is known as the generation effect. The present research is designed to study the generation effect for cues, following a depth-of-processing interpretation. The task described is to produce a word, opposite in meaning to the cue, given the cue and target with two interior adjacent...

Student mobility is a phenomena that negatively affects performance on tests. In New Jersey this is a problem because test scores on statewide proficiency tests are used as criteria for graduation and as one of the criteria for state certification of the school district. A study done in Perth Amboy was designed to collect data on student mobility and to set guidelines for the standardized collection of such data in the future. Data were gathered from a sample of 315 tenth graders on social,...

The Appalachia Educational Laboratory (AEL) conducted an assessment of microcomputer-related needs for basic mathematics in the four-state areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia in 1984-85. The primary input came from teachers from each of the states who participated in a needs conference in their home state. When each of the 344 needs statements generated during the conferences was rated on a scale of 0 (low) to 5 (high) by all of the conference participants, it was found...

Research conducted by the Center for the Study of Community Colleges in Los Angeles on the status of the community college liberal arts curriculum found that liberal arts programs have a beneficial impact on students. Research findings have consistently revealed that what students know is related to what they study and how they have studied it. Usually, students' self-ratings of their skills in a particular area of the liberal arts are a good indicator of their knowledge in that area. Analyses...

Contrary to public expectations, this study hypothesized that viewers of the television film, "The Day After," would have less intention to stop nuclear warfare after they watched it because the film would generate fear without providing a clear way for viewers to eliminate the threat of nuclear war. Questionnaires assessed whether viewers and nonviewers of the film would differ in their attitudes about nuclear war and how to deal with the possibility of nuclear war. Sixty-three...

The effects of the objective physical features of the treatment environment on the well-being of elderly have previously been studied. This type of research continues to contribute to standards of quality for nursing homes, congregate housing, and health-care facilities. However, the perceived qualities of the environment may also be a key element in patient well-being and satisfaction, as well as staff morale. An instrument has been developed to measure these perceptual variables, the Physical...
