During the past fifteen years, educators and electronics specialists have been experimenting with language facilities, usually by modifying equipment components which were originally designed for other purposes. The rapid growth, wide diversity, and newness of these electronic aids to language learning have created the need for a study of the most effective systems of such equipment and their related technical specifications. To meet this need, the U.S. Office of Education initiated a contract, under Title VII of the National Defense Act, with the Electronic Industries Association for the preparation of this Technical Guide. The report contents include: (1) What Is a Language Laboratory?; (2) Why a Language Laboratory?; (3) Planning for a Language Laboratory; (4) Language-Laboratory Systems; (5) Purchasing a Language Laboratory: General and Specific Technical Specifications, including technical language, what must be specified, distortion and noise, general system specifications, and other topics; (6) Testing the Language Laboratory; and (7) Servicing and Maintaining the Language Laboratory. This publication sets forth conclusions reached by representatives of education and the electronics industry concerning many pedagogical and technical matters which affect the ultimate consumer--the student of modern foreign languages. Appended is a sample procurement specification. (Contains 89 footnotes and 23 figures.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Library Science Dissertations: 1925-60. An Annotated Bibliography of Doctoral Studies. Bulletin, 1963, No. 38. OE-15044

During the last decade, research has become increasingly important to the profession of librarianship. Seven library schools now have doctoral programs, foundation grants have stimulated and supported scores of major projects, and the research method has been recognized as an accepted technique for solving library problems. The increasing volume of research has caused a serious difficulty: information about completed studies and active investigations is so widely scattered that it is not easily accessible. In this bulletin, a compilation of a major segment of completed research has been assembled for the first time. The abstracts included in this publication furnish a single source of information about doctoral research relating to library science from 1925 to 1960. All dissertations accepted by library schools accredited by the American Library Association were automatically included. Dissertations written in other university departments were included when they treated a central facet of librarianship. In each section of this publication, entries are arranged by these broad subject categories: (1) Background; (2) Organization and Administration; (3) Resources; (4) Reader Services; (5) Technical Processes, Documentation; (6) Personnel and Training; (7) International, Comparative, and Foreign Librarianship; and (8) Methods of Research and Evaluation. Appended are tabulations and analyses of the 224 dissertations abstracted in this publication. (Contains 3 tables.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

Subjects: Foreign Countries,Educational History,Educational Research,Researchers,Research Administration,War,European History,Educational Policy,Educational Environment,Elementary Secondary Education,Higher Education,Schools of Education,College Faculty,Child Psychology,Educational Methods,Educational Psychology,Program Descriptions,Board of Education Role,Boards of Education,Organizations (Groups),Publications,Intellectual Disciplines,Child Development

The science of education in Norway covers a wide field, including child psychology and the psychology of adolescents, educational psychology, educational methods, philosophy of education, and the history of the school system. Educational research has had a relatively short period of development in Norway. Empirical research, with a view to clarifying conditions of importance to educational activity, was begun at the end of the 19th century. This document traces the development of: (1) Independent Research Workers to 1930; (2) Organizing Educational Research During the 1930s; (3) War Years and Early Postwar Developments; and (4) Developments After 1950. Prospects for the future of educational research in Norway are encouraging. The understanding of the importance of educational research, marking the first years after the end of the war, must be said to have been present in a high degree in recent years. It is to be hoped that this understanding will become so strong and widespread that Norway gradually may embark on a program of extending and intensifying the work of research, thereby raising teaching and education to a level which will fulfill the demands of the time.

Subjects: Pilot Projects,Elementary Education,Agricultural Education,Illiteracy,Foreign Countries,Inspection,Scholarships,Educational Change,Educational Research,School Buildings

This study is the latest addition to a series of bulletins on education in foreign countries published by the U.S. Office of Education. The series is intended to fill multiple and increasing needs, both within and outside the Government; specifically, to provide assistance to registrars and admissions officers in their placement of foreign students, comprehensive data on foreign systems of education for comparative education and area specialists and scholars, and general information for a variety of individuals, groups, and programs. The present bulletin is the Office of Education's first one on education in Rumania, and the subject is presented in its historical and current political, economic, social, and cultural setting. The author has brought to the study painstaking scholarship and research in primary sources, including official documents; fluency in the Rumanian language; and a personal knowledge of the country before its conversion to a Communist state. He has used the most recent available sources, many of them in collections of the Library of Congress and the Office of Education. Some of the latter were acquired by the Office's Bureau of International Education through an informal exchange of publications with the Rumanian Ministry of Education. Others, comprising a set of Rumanian textbooks, were presented to the Bureau by the Ministry in 1960. This document is divided into nine chapters, as follows: (1) The Country's Background; (2) The Educational System; (3) Preprimary Education: Nurseries and Kindergartens; (4) General Education: Elementary and Secondary Schools; (5) Vocational and Technical Education; (6) Higher Education; (7) Teachers and the Teaching Profession; (8) Organizations for Children, Youths, and Adults; and (9) Evaluation and Conclusions. Appended are: (1) Textbooks Used in the 11-Year School of General Education, Rumanian People's Republic; (2) Glossary of Rumanian Terms Appearing in This Publication; (3) Tables Showing Changes in Rumanian Education between 1959-60 and 1961-62; and (4) Bibliography. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 38 tables, 3 charts, and 1 map.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Structure and Decision-Making in Soviet Education. Bulletin, 1964, No. 2. OE-14094

The study and analysis of Soviet political, social, and economic systems is as old as the Soviet Union itself, but an intensive study of its educational system is a recent development. Many scholars have turned their attention to the Soviet Union's educational system and have studied the curriculums, teaching methods, textbooks, and other instructional materials of Soviet schools in an attempt to understand the role that education has played in bringing to the USSR success in the field of rocketry and missiles. Previous research has delineated the lines of authority that emanate from the Central Committee of the CPSU (Communist Party of the Soviet Union). This study is based on data collected from documents published in the Soviet Union and in the United States and on information obtained from a series of interviews with members of the Communist Party, a member of its Central Committee of the CPSU, ministers of education, chairmen of city boards of education, school inspectors, directors of institutes of higher education, professions of higher education, and directors of 11-year schools. Four main sections follow the introductory section. Section II describes the administrative structures of Party organizations from the all-union level down through the union-republic, regional, large-city, district--urban and rural, and basic administrative unit levels. .Section III describes the administrative structures of governmental units at each of the same five geopolitical levels. Section IV turns to an analysis of the decision-making process at each level and of the interrelationships that exist within the Party apparatus and Government structure, and describes the relationships between these two entities. Section V turns its attention to areas needing further study: school administration and the relationship of Party to Government. It attempts to bring some focus on questions still unanswered and on administrative processes still unexplored. Appendices include: (1) Selected Readings; (2) Glossary of Russian Terms Used in This Publication; and (3) Ministries and Committee Administering Higher Education in the 15 Soviet Union Republics.

Nonproperty Taxation for Schools: Possibilities for Local Application. Bulletin, 1964, No. 4. OE-22021
Author: Alford, Albert L.
Date: 1964-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,Educational Finance,Taxes,School Districts,Income,School Funds,Educational Trends,School Taxes,Public Support,Educational Administration,Tax Effort,Fiscal Capacity,Public Policy,Educational Policy,State Aid,Policy Analysis,School Law,Economic Factors,Bibliographies,Urban Schools,Suburban Schools,Rural Schools,Administrative Policy,Educational Equity (Finance),Financial Problems,Tax Allocation,School District Size,Enrollment,School Statistics,Comparative Analysis

A growing interest in the use of nonproperty sources to replace an overburdened property tax, actually or psychologically, has been evident in recent years, particularly as school district levies have been running into stiff voter opposition. However, because school districts have relied on the property tax for their major and often sole source of local taxes for so long, there has been little development of information relative to nonproperty taxes for schools. The purpose of this study is to present some broad information on the possibilities of local nonproperty tax adoption and to bring together in a resource document as much information as possible on local nonproperty taxes and related problems. Information is organized in nine chapters: (1) Evolution of the Property Tax; (2) Future Revenue Sources for Schools; (3) Present Status of Nonproperty Tax Use by School Districts; (4) Analysis of Nonproperty Taxes; (5) Per Capita or Poll Taxes; (6) Income Taxes; (7) Sales Taxation; (8) Selective Sales Taxes; and (9) Application of Nonproperty Taxes to Local School Districts.
