Administration of Higher Education: An Annotated Bibliography. Bulletin, 1960, No. 7. OE-53002. [Chapter VIII - Chapter IX]
Author: Eells, Walter Crosby
Date: 1960-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Higher Education,College Administration,Annotated Bibliographies,Information Sources,College Faculty,Educational Administration

Professional literature on American higher education is vast and varied. Bibliographic items on college and university administration alone indicate that perhaps twenty thousand books, pamphlets, and magazine articles have appeared in print since 1950. Because the range and quality of the literature on university administration are so great, the staff of the Division of Higher Education found it necessary to develop for its own use the selected and annotated bibliography published herewith. It is the basic list of 2,708 items, that except for a few dozen relatively ageless general references, appeared in print between 1950 and midsummer 1959. The bibliography is not intended to meet the specialized reference needs of deans, registrars, business officers, or directors of faculty and student personnel services, but it is hoped that it will prove a convenient aid to busy executives and students of higher education administration. This bulletin is the second part of a three-part volume. It contains the following sections: (1) Chapter VIII: Administration of Faculty; and (2) Chapter IX: Administration of Students. [Due to its size, this volume has been processed as three separate parts. The first part includes the foreword through Chapter VII. The second part includes Chapters VIII and IX. The third part includes Chapter X through the index. The cover page and table of contents are repeated in the second and third parts. For the other parts of this volume, see "Foreword - Chapter VII" (ED543945) and "Chapter X - Index" (ED543947). Best copy available has been provided.]

Analysis of Research in the Teaching of Mathematics, 1957 and 1958. Bulletin, 1960, No. 8. OE-29007
Author: Brown, Kenneth E.
Date: 1960-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Scientific Personnel,Educational Change,Educational Research,Mathematics Instruction,Teaching Methods,Instructional Improvement,Engineering,Elementary Secondary Education,Higher Education

The increased competition in technical advancement has made the need for high quality scientists, engineers, and technicians stand out in bold relief. Better instruction in mathematics in our public schools can make a contribution to the quality of our scientific personnel. If research findings are implemented in the classroom they likewise can make a contribution. The purpose of this study is to help implement research findings by making available the results of research in the teaching of mathematics that have been reported to the Office of Education during the calendar years 1957 and 1958. It is hoped that the present study will be helpful both to researchers and classroom teachers in their efforts to improve the teaching of mathematics. Appendix includes: Summary of Research Studies.

Subjects: Teaching Methods,Second Language Instruction,Communication Skills,Speech Communication,Second Language Learning,High Schools,Mastery Learning,Grammar,Federal Legislation,Translation,Articulation (Education),Reading Skills,Writing Skills,Introductory Courses,Listening Skills,Oral Language

Achievement approaching mastery in the use of at least one modern foreign language on the part of a large portion of tomorrow's citizens is an objective which is new in American education. Language programs in the high school are therefore undergoing basic modifications in order to establish learning conditions that can develop communication skills. The prime essentials of an effective program of modern foreign language instruction are long sequences of study and systematic practice in listening and speaking, as well as in reading and writing. Since hearing-speaking-reading-writing progression in language learning brings problems to teachers whose principal approach to instruction has been a grammar-translation-reading presentation, this bulletin is offered to high-school teachers as a service of the Science, Mathematics, and Foreign Language Section of the Division of State and Local School Systems, under title III of the National Defense Education Act of 1958. The teaching techniques described in this bulletin are intended for beginning classes at the secondary school level. It is assumed, however, that high schools will provide for the continued progress of any pupils who may have entered from the elementary school with considerable proficiency already in speaking and understanding a modern foreign language.

Each year numerous research studies are conducted on problems in or related to school and college personnel services. Since many of these studies go unpublished, the results are all but lost to a large segment of people concerned with the improvement and operation of the services. The U.S. Office of Education was requested by the National Association of Guidance Supervisors and Counselor Trainers to cooperate in collecting and publishing biennial summaries of unpublished research in the field of school and college personnel work. The present bulletin carries summaries of research studies completed between September 1, 1956, and August 31, 1958. The publication of these summaries can serve at least two purposes: First, they can be used to bring about some improvements in school and college personnel services for such improvements depend to a large degree on the extent to which research conclusions find their way into operational programs. Second--and perhaps more important--they can stimulate, and serve as a base for, further research studies, particularly those in graduate programs. [Best copy available has been provided.]
Elementary School Administration and Organization: A National Survey of Practices and Policies. Bulletin, 1960, No. 11. OE-23006

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,National Surveys,Questionnaires,Data Analysis,Sampling,Public Schools,Elementary Schools,School Organization,School Administration,Educational Policy,School Policy,Board of Education Policy,Educational Practices,Educational Trends,Urban Schools,Instructional Program Divisions,Student Promotion,School Schedules,Elementary School Teachers,Principals,School Community Relationship,Teacher Aides,Grouping (Instructional Purposes),Kindergarten,Preschool Education,Grading,Report Cards

The purpose of this study is to provide a report of practices, policies, and trends in public elementary school organization and administration. It is intended that this current publication will make available current findings with reference to how schools are presently operating and how they are meeting continuing as well as new problems. The data was gathered on the basis of a refined national sampling technique. The sample was designed to establish a 5 percent confidence level for all national findings and a 10 percent confidence level for all subgroup findings. Stratification was made on the basis of four population groups and four geographical regions. The urban places for the sample were selected through randomization. Of particular value and significance of course, to the cooperative interest and support of the school administrators whose response alone made this complete coverage possible. The data received were electronically processed on computer machines which made a high degree of sophisticated data-processing and analysis possible. Three appendixes provide: (1) Sampling Plan and Procedure; (2) Selected Urban Places; and (3) Survey Questionnaire Form. An index is included. (Contains 88 tables, 15 charts, and 2 diagrams.)

Graduate General Humanities Programs. Bulletin, 1960, No. 12. OE-56001
Author: Neudling, Chester L.
Date: 1960-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: General Education,Graduate Study,Humanities,Program Descriptions,Interdisciplinary Approach,Curriculum,Required Courses,Doctoral Programs,Masters Programs,Intellectual Disciplines

This study was undertaken as a report on a relatively new kind of graduate program. It is intended to present the characteristics of existing general education programs in the humanities for comparison and appraisal. Since this study deals with a relatively new and still experimental field, it should be regarded as a status report, or perhaps even an interim report. It may also be considered a companion piece to papers in the series "New Dimensions in Higher Education," published by the Programs Branch of the Division of Higher Education, insofar as it points to the newer concepts of curriculum, organization, and procedure. The purposes in undertaking this study were to present such programs in the humanities in terms which would permit observation of comparable characteristics as well as differences; to provide information useful to institutions considering such programs; and to furnish a basis for determining their extent and significance as a phenomenon in graduate education. The programs described in this bulletin, although there are great differences among them in content, purpose, and organization, have the following characteristics in common: (1) all take the whole range of humanistic study for their domain; (2) all aim to provide either a broad background perspective of humanistic studies, or cross-departmental avenues of study in the humanities, or both; and (3) all have administrative identity and formal curricular requirements, and lead to a degree in Humanities. Thirteen programs--six doctoral and seven master's programs--are described. Within these two groups, the programs are arranged in alphabetical order by the full name of the institution involved. A general characterization of the program is provided, and each chapter is prefaced by an overview of the program to which it is devoted. The reader is referred to these sections for an accurate introduction to the peculiar scope and approach of individual programs. It is hoped that this report will be useful to all those who are concerned with graduate education, with the staffing of undergraduate general education programs, with the maturation of the humanities as a major discipline, or with other current problems in the changing field of higher education. A selected bibliography is included. (Contains 6 footnotes.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
Characteristics of Administrative Handbooks for School Staff Personnel. Bulletin, 1960, No. 13. OE-23007

In recent years there has been an increasing interest and emphasis on the staff personnel administrative policies and procedures of local school systems. This interest and emphasis applies not only to the nature or characteristics of the staff personnel policies developed by school systems but also to the methods used in developing policies and keeping the staff informed about them. In view of the important functions handbooks and manuals for teachers and other school employees can serve in providing the communication necessary for the organization and operation of a local school system, a study of such documents was undertaken. The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the content of 72 medium- and large-sized school systems in various geographic regions of the country in order to determine what topics were included and the nature of the information presented on each topic. This document is divided into ten chapters, as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) General Characteristics of the Handbooks; (3) School Agencies and Positions; (4) Employment; (5) Compensation and Benefits; (6) Employees' Time and Load; Employees' Absences; (7) Personnel Development; (8) Instructional Programs, Supplementary Services, Facilities, and Equipment; (9) Pupil Personnel Administration and Services; and (10) Community Relations.

Demands on guidance workers in secondary schools are constantly increasing. Certification requirements for these workers are continually being revised as their responsibilities become more sharply defined. Since the appearance of the 1960 edition of &quot;Guidance Workers Certification Requirements&quot; (Bulletin 1960, No. 14), 21 States and territories have changed their requirements. During the same period, an additional 8 States and territories have instituted these requirements for the first time; thus 49 States and territories now have certification requirements established by State or territorial legislatures or departments of education under authority granted by legislatures. Part I of this bulletin presents, for each State and territory concerned, the certification requirements for guidance workers in secondary schools. It also presents the qualifications required by every State and territory, except the Canal Zone and American Samoa, for guidance positions in secondary schools operating guidance programs under title V-A of the National Defense Education Act of 1958. The information given has been verified by the States and territories as applicable through the 1962 calendar year. Twenty-five States now have certification requirements for school psychologists, counseling psychologists, or psychometrists. These requirements are listed, by State, in Part II of this bulletin. Part III lists qualification requirements for school social workers and school nurses for the seven States which have established certification requirements for one or both of these areas of work. (Contains 31 footnotes.) [This bulletin was prepared under the general direction of Frank L. Sievers, Director, Guidance and Counseling Programs Branch, Division of State Grants.

Present capital outlay investments in elementary and secondary school buildings, sites, and equipment in the United States are being increased at the rate of about $3 billion annually. Maintenance and operational services, important aspects of property protection, educational progress, pupil safety, and plant efficiency, are being provided in these facilities at a cost of more than $1 billion per year. This cost may be expected to increase as new facilities are added. School plant management, like other phases of the educational program, faces serious challenges, making it imperative that school officials have some knowledge of the basic principles and procedures involved in school plant care. This bulletin deals primarily with organizing and developing official maintenance programs for school districts. Its purpose is to bring together, in one document, the collective &quot;know-how&quot; of many people whose experience enables them to give authoritative information on school maintenance programs. The ideas, practices, and suggestions which have been used in this bulletin have been carefully documented as to source. This document is presented in five chapters, as follows: (1) Introduction; (2) Developing a Maintenance Organization; (3) Programming Maintenance Needs; (4) Financing the Maintenance Program; and (5) Reducing Maintenance Costs. A selected bibliography of books, periodicals, and bulletins is also included. The following are appended: (1) Maintenance Control: Exhibit 1--Site, Exhibit 2--Building, Exhibit 3--Equipment; (2) Cumulative General Control: Exhibit 4; (3) Master Control: Exhibit 5; and (4) Master Budget Control--Exhibit 6.

This bulletin is the third in a series of annual publications issued by the Cooperative Research Program of the Office of Education. Its purpose is to provide practitioners, researchers, and others interested in education with information concerning research projects that are being supported under the Cooperative Research Program. A brief description of each project initiated during fiscal year 1959 is included. Each description presents a statement of the problem under investigation, lists the major objectives, and describes the research procedures to be followed. At the end of each description are listed the name and title of the investigator, the name of the institution which he represents, the number of the project, its duration, and its beginning and completion dates. Since most of the research described in this bulletin is still underway, no findings are reported. This bulletin is divided into five sections, as follows: (1) Research on Students; (2) Research on Teachers; (3) Research on Teaching and Learning; (4) Research on Administrative Problems; and (5) Educational Research Progress, Theory, and Methodology. The following are appended: (1) Investigators on Cooperative Research Projects Contracted during Fiscal 1959; (2) Locations in Which Research Projects Were Initiated during Fiscal 1959; and (3) Numerical List of Projects.

Every four years the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations requests a report from each Member State telling how the United Nations and its work are being made known to the citizenry. This bulletin constitutes the report of the United States substantially as it was submitted at the close of 1959. Because the Secretary General had expressed particular interest in four aspects of teaching about the United Nations, the Office of Education Committee which drew up the report devoted a section to each one and enlisted the cooperation of teachers and specialists in all parts of the country to supply pertinent information. The main divisions of the report deal with teacher training, programs and syllabi, the treatment of the United Nations in textbooks and teaching materials, and out-of-school educational activities relating to the U.N. system. Following a Foreword, five chapters are included: (1) Introduction; (2) Teacher education and the United Nations; (3) Programs and patterns in teaching about the United Nations; (4) Teaching materials for elementary and secondary schools; and (5) Out-of-School education activities related to the U. N. Two appendices are included. [Best copy available has been provided.]
