Come mid-July you’d never be able to find yourself 15 feet at the bottom of Centennial Beach, but there’s a lot of work to be done down there before this place can be swimming with visitors. “We actually start the process in March, we first drain the beach, the quarry, get it all cleaned up, we spray the walls down, wash them all down, get it all clear and then once we have it all clear we start the actual maintenance process,” said Andrea Coates, Facility Manager for Centennial Beach....

The primary aim of this project was to stimulate interest in reading for pleasure. An experiment was conducted on a top second-year high school class, whose attitude toward recreational reading had been apathetic. The class was informed they were to read and review fiction with a Scottish setting over a five-month period, the end product of which was to be a booklet that might be a useful guide to other classes. The class was provided with a number of forms stapled together to form a booklet,...

When it appeared that the public library system might become the agents for sponsoring official library recruitment projects, three such projects were started in New York State. The emphasis of these projects was on personal contact recruiting and summer cadet programs which permitted practical experience in library situations. The project, Library Futures which is the subject of this paper, was the largest of the three projects in terms of area population, college and school coverage, budget...

Teachers should analyze the validity of those assumptions upon which schools operate. The premise that urban schools exist to teach children the three R's seems inaccurate in the face of evidence that many low income and minority group children are not reading at acceptable grade levels. The appropriateness of the medical diagnostic model in an educational setting seems suspect considering educators' lack of agreement in classifying behavior coupled with their tendency to project varying frames...

The effects of integrated pictures of nouns, training in imagining relations between separate pictures of nouns, and the combination of training and integrated pictures on the recall of noun triplets were assessed in children from grades one, three, and six. The cued recall of nouns under these three conditions was from 2 to 6 times greater than that of the control group in all 3 grades. In grade 6, these children who had been trained to generate their own relations between the pictured nouns...

Although recent writings indicate the importance of personal contact structures in diffusing innovations and in determining perceptions, the internal contact structure of the school faculty remains unexamined. This study applies directed graph theory, a new branch of mathematics, to analyzing school contact structure. Sociometric data and perceptions of the school were collected from 48 elementary school faculties containing 1,121 people. Using directed graph theory, 12 indices of the contact...

The study attempted to measure the impact of diverse instructional methods on individuals whose learning styles tended to fall along a concrete-symbolic continuum as measured by a learning activities questionnaire. Two assumptions were made: (1) those with highly concrete learning styles learn best by direct contact type activities and (2) individuals with highly symbolic learning styles learn best by abstract type activities. The study population consisted of university students enrolled in an...

The study determined whether a residential outdoor education program in Rockford, Illinois provided a long lasting effect on those students who as 5th graders participated in a week long experience in 1963 or 1966. The hypotheses developed were: outdoor educational experiences provide a long lasting effect on those who have had the experience; past outdoor educational experiences provide for awareness of the environment and environmental problems; concepts for outdoor education are of value to...

On the basis of evidence showing the effect of failure on males and mixed sex groups and on the basis of Horner's theory regarding the effect of success on females, it was hypothesized in this study that both success and failure feedback would disrupt female goal setting, and lead to less positive affect. Seventy-five female undergraduates were assigned to an experimental program in which they received failure, success, or neutral feedback with regard to their performance on a digit symbol...

The influence of marital status on the well-being of older persons has been of interest to social gerontologists. To investigate the well-being of married, widowed, and divorced older persons, 397 older men and women completed eight measures of well-being, including daily living activities, overall financial status, and psychological health. Results indicated that marital status was strongly associated with well-being on six indicators, i.e., housing quality, medical, financial, social, and...

A follow-up was done of an earlier study that found that industrial arts teachers had failed to accept technology education as a replacement for industrial arts. A reassessment of Rogers' (1989) Stages of Concern (SoC) research was conducted. All industrial educators from both the Omaha (Nebraska) and Millard (Nebraska) Public Schools were included in the sample group. The SoC questionnaire was used to measure teachers' attitudes toward technology education. The 35 items on the questionnaire...

Diction in choral music simultaneously functions as a vehicle for both the musical medium and the textual message. Nearly every choral methods and choral conducting book written in this century includes some references to and instructions for the practice of choral diction. Most of these methods, however, are not based on any sort of systematic inquiry, but rather on personal preference and other types of subjective judgments. Many of the unconscious, habitual physical shifts that occur in the...

During the years 1986-1988, a Swedish research project called "Sons" tried to provide some tentative answers to questions raised by the recent focus on gender issues in peace education. A total of 20 feminist and 20 traditional mothers of sons were interviewed concerning their ideas about the development of their sons and about the difficulties they had encountered in providing their sons with peace education. The interviews revealed that almost all the mothers wanted to raise a...

Students' experiences are important in shaping their subsequent practice of the teacher role, and teacher educators should look at the connections between life histories, beliefs about teaching, and classroom practice.

The group then began to...

Education reform in Great Britain during the last 15 years has been piecemeal, and all the pieces are not yet in place for broad and balanced post-16 education. The last 10 years of debate have achieved much common ground among the goals perceived by government, industry, and education. Three major ways of looking at the post-16 curriculum have emerged: the triple track, the all in, and the broad continuum. Some more detailed developments have also been taking place within the 16-19 curriculum:...
