Requirements for High School Graduation in States and Large Cities. Bulletin, 1961, No. 12. OE-34003
Author: Wright, Grace S.
Date: 1961-00-00
Type: Historical Materials

High school graduation requirements, representing as they do the general education area of a high school's offerings, are of significance in reflecting our educational objectives. The general education area of the curriculum is designed to provide for the common needs of all boys and girls in our society, in contrast to the special interests area represented by the elective subjects, which serves the individual needs of pupils. Through its required subjects a school can ensure for every pupil the basic instruction which it believes will best develop the knowledge, understandings, and attitudes he needs to function as an effective citizen. This document reports the subjects that State and city school people have designated as those which best fulfill this important need. A list of cities drawn in the sample is appended. (Contains 10 tables and 5 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]

For a period of more than 25 years, this series of publications has provided an authoritative and reasonably comprehensive source of information about Federal activities in education. The present bulletin, Federal Funds for Education, 1958-59 and 1959-60, is the 15th in the series. It describes educational programs supported by the Federal Government and gives tabular summaries of the Federal funds provided. Compilations of amounts for the individual States in the 1958-59 and, if available, for the 1958-60 school years are presented. Summary tables reporting program amounts over a 10-year period are also included to show trends in Federal support. The figures indicate annual amounts for the separate programs; the extent that educational activities are supported in the separate Federal departments, agencies, or offices, and the Government-wide participation in supporting education services throughout the United States. The value of this kind of information has recently been emphasized in arrangements between the National Science Foundation and the Office of Education for a further analysis of data on Federal funds for education. An index is provided. (Contains 70 tables. Individual chapters contain footnotes.) [Due to its size, this volume has been processed as two separate parts. The first part (ED544040), includes the foreword through Chapter IV. The second part (ED544041), includes Chapter V through the index.

Improving Preservice Teachers' Self-Efficacy through Service Learning: Lessons Learned
Author: Bernadowski, Carianne
Date: 2013-07-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Self Efficacy,Best Practices,Service Learning,Preservice Teachers,Volunteers,Learner Engagement,Teacher Educators,Student Surveys,Context Effect,Education Majors,Pretests Posttests

University students have been barraged with service learning opportunities both as course required and as volunteer opportunities in recent years. Currently, many universities now require students to participate in engaged learning as a graduation requirement. Situated in Bandura's theory of self-efficacy, this study examines the effects service learning has on students teaching self-efficacy when required to participate in an activity (course connected), compared to when they chose to volunteer in service learning projects. As instructors of preservice teachers it is our commitment to prepare these students to their maximum potential. Identifying best practices for teacher preparation is an overarching goal of this study. A pre/post survey examined students' self-perceptions for each service opportunity in regards to their perceived teaching self-efficacy. Results indicate that students' self-efficacy improved when service learning was connected or imbedded in the context of learning and connected to a specific course. These findings indicate course connected service learning has a greater impact on preservice teachers' perceptions of their ability to be effective future classroom teachers. Therefore course connected service learning can be viewed as a best practice in preservice teaching instruction. (Contains 3 figures.)

Soviet Training Programs for Africa. Bulletin, 1963, No. 9. OE-14079
Author: Rosen, Seymour M.

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Vocational Education,Foreign Countries,Program Descriptions,Tables (Data),Curriculum,Second Language Learning,Languages,Literature,Social Systems,Foreign Students,Statistical Data,Ideology,Required Courses,African Languages,Institutes (Training Programs),Second Language Instruction,Financial Support

This bulletin examines the current status of Soviet training programs for Africa: the training of personnel from Africa in the U.S.S.R; Soviet study and research in the U.S.S.R. on Africa; and training programs in Africa connected with Soviet developmental projects. The increasing Soviet penetration of Africa has considerable import for the free world's efforts to aid the emerging countries of the subcontinent. It is therefore of value to attempt to gauge the extent of Soviet penetration and make rough estimates of some aspects, with an understanding, however, that the information is incomplete and primarily from Soviet sources. For more than general and tentative conclusions on the programs reported in this bulletin, further research and independent verification are necessary. Two appendices provide: (1) a table, the &quot;Six-year Curriculum, Institute of Eastern Languages (Attached to Moscow State University), for Specialty in Eastern Languages and Literature, and (2) Translated Excerpts from &quot;Afrika 1956-61,&quot; an Account of the Africa Institute in Moscow of Soviet Training Programs in Africa.

This study makes available the findings of the research in the teaching of mathematics reported to the U.S. Office of Education during the calendar years 1959 and 1960. To secure the data for this study the U.S. Office of Education, with the aid of the Research Committee of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, sent a questionnaire to 454 colleges that offered graduate work in mathematics education, or whose staffs or students had made previous contributions in that area. Data were received from 247 colleges or research workers. Instead of attempting to classify the research on the basis of the major emphasis of each study, this study is organized according to pertinent questions in mathematics education. These questions and analyses are grouped under three headings: (1) Research in the teaching of elementary school mathematics; (2) Research in the teaching of high school mathematics; and (3) Research in the teaching of college mathematics. The document includes recommendations for future research and identifies unanswered questions in the teaching of mathematics. Appended is a summary of research studies. It is hoped that this summary analysis of research in mathematics education will be helpful to both research workers and classroom teachers in improving mathematics instruction.
