An Abstract of the Report on the Public School System of Memphis, Tennessee. Bulletin, 1919, No. 72
Author: Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education (ED)
Date: 1919-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Public Opinion,Industrial Arts,School Surveys,Public Schools,School Supervision,Educational Finance,Civics,Health Education,Science Education,Music Education,School Districts,Curriculum,Home Economics,Gardening,Educational Administration

During May and June, 1919, the United States Bureau of Education, under the direction of the Commissioner of Education, made a survey of the public-school system of Memphis, Tennessee. This survey included a study of the social and industrial conditions of Memphis, recommendations in regard to the organization, supervision, and financing of the schools, an analysis of the building problem, as well as special studies of the work of the elementary schools and high schools, of civic education, health, science, music, and industrial arts. The complete report of the survey, giving not only a full appraisal of the school system, but also detailed recommendations in regard to organization, curriculum, etc:, is now being published by the Bureau of Education. Such a report is of course essential for the teaching force and administrative officers in the successful carrying out of any changes recommended, but experience has proved that the average layman is not interested in detailed, technical educational reports and will not take the time to read them. On the other hand, it is obviously necessary that the average citizen have an intelligent understanding of school conditions and school problems; since no public-school system can function successfully except as it is founded upon the educated public opinion of the masses of the people. For these reasons the Bureau of Education is publishing not only a detailed, more or less technical, report of the Memphis school survey, but also the present brief abstract of the report for the use of the average citizen who is interested in gaining a general knowledge of the findings of the survey, and whose intelligent interest is such an important factor in the work of the teaching force of the city, the school officers, and the board of education.

Community Americanization: A Handbook for Workers. Bulletin, 1919, No. 76
Author: Butler, Fred Clayton
Date: 1920-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Educational History,Immigrants,Citizenship Education,Guides,Conferences (Gatherings),Bibliographies,Political Socialization,Politics of Education,Role of Education,Community Programs,Community Surveys,Second Language Learning,English (Second Language),Public School Adult Education,Teaching Methods,Females,Workplace Learning,Home Programs,Outreach Programs,Social Environment,Program Development,Program Implementation,Community Resources,Worksheets,Questionnaires,Volunteers,Money Management,Social Services,Community Organizations

Americanization is in the end a task for the individual citizen and not for the Government. The individual can be successful in so human a problem only by having a sympathetic knowledge of this task and of those with whom he must deal. To supply at least the foundations of this knowledge is the purpose of this book. The contents are taken largely from the lives and experiences of successful workers in Americanization as revealed at the conference of May, 1919. Those who desire a fuller knowledge of the work are referred to the complete proceedings of that conference. It is evident that such a book as this must be written for the layman. The expert will find little or nothing herein that is new. The technical phases of the problem are being covered by other writers in books which will be issued in the near future as bulletins of the Bureau of Education. A bibliography is included. Individual sections contain footnotes. (Contains 3 plates.) [Best copy available has been provided.]
State Americanization: The Part of the State in the Education and Assimilation of the Immigrant. Bulletin, 1919, No. 77

There are many thousands of people who are in a position to exert great influence in the work of Americanization, through their leadership or membership in State legislatures, State bureaus and departments, and State organizations, official and voluntary. The primary purpose of this book is to lay before that body of men and women some concrete suggestions of ways by which the States may serve effectively in the education and the assimilation into full fellowship and citizenship of foreign-born people. The States are rapidly coming to see the importance of this problem and many are taking official action. The conception of the task varies greatly and some of the methods advocated in some States seem unwise to those who have long studied the question. It seems wise, in order to bring about a common understanding of the problem that this present work should be issued immediately. Contents include: (1) Great principles; (2) State legislation; (3) The State and the community; (4) State survey; and (5) Coordination of forces. (Contains 2 footnotes.)

Junior / community college students who have learning disabilities (LD), such as dyslexia, often do not maximize their use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for school work. They do not use many of these technologies nor do they know as much about them as other students. These are the results of an Adaptech Research Network study on ICTs where the key research questions were: What proportion of students in colleges self-report having an LD? What proportion of these students register for disability related services from their college? What ICTs are recommended by experts for students with LD to facilitate academic work? What ICTs do students with LD actually use, and how does this compare with ICTs used by students without LD? Over 4% of students enrolled in one English junior / community college and two French junior / community colleges self-reported having LD; only 59% of students with LD were registered for disability related services from their college. The findings also highlight important discrepancies between experts' views and the realities of students with LD: differences in terms of ICTs that could be useful (experts' opinions), and in terms of those that are actually used by students with LD. We recommend that students with LD be taught how to use specialized ICTs before they enter college. There needs to be adequate funding as well as opportunities for these students to learn to use potentially helpful ICTs while at college as well. Access to and use of the necessary ICTs will allow these students to develop the skills needed to succeed in academic and professional settings, as well as in the community at large, where ICTs are now ubiquitous. Six appendixes are included: (1) Interview Questions for Experts on the Use of ICTs by Students with Learning Disabilities at the Postsecondary Level (French version); (2) Interview Questions for Experts on the Use of ICTs by Students with Learning Disabilities at the Postsecondary Level (English version); (3) Adult Reading History Questionnaire -- Revised (ARHQ-R) (French version); (4) Adult Reading History Questionnaire -- Revised (ARHQ-R) (English version); (5) Questionnaire on Students' Use of ICTs (French version); and (6) Questionnaire on Students' Use of ICTs (English version).

Targeting Undergraduate Students for Surveys: Lessons from the Academic Pathways of People Learning Engineering Survey (APPLES). Research Brief
Author: Donaldson, Krista M.
Date: 2007-10-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Engineering Education,Engineering,Learning Experience,Undergraduate Students,Student Surveys,Program Validation,Psychometrics,Formative Evaluation,Evaluation Methods,Educational Research

The Academic Pathways of People Learning Engineering Survey (APPLES or APPLE survey) is a component of the Academic Pathways Study (APS) of the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE). The APS aims to provide a comprehensive account of how people become engineers by exploring key questions around the engineering learning experience. The goal of the APPLE survey is to validate the longitudinal data from the APS Persistence in Engineering (PIE) survey, as well as findings from other APS data collection methods. Despite the Team's experience with the PIE survey deployment during 2004-2007 and comprehensive planning, many lessons were learned in the design and administration of the APPLE survey: (1) Start the Internal Review Board (IRB) process at least four months prior to the planned deployment; (2) Consider the different stakeholders when determining the incentive for participation; (3) Allocate resources for comprehensive piloting of the survey; (4) Emphasize sharing and learning from other recruitment plans across institutions; (5) Add survey items to weed out ineligible subjects; and (6) Allow multiple submissions from a single IP address.
Becoming an Engineering Education Researcher: Finding Pathways toward Interdisciplinarity. Research Brief
Author: Allendoerfer, Cheryl
Date: 2007-07-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Interdisciplinary Approach,Engineering Education,Educational Researchers,Educational Research,Semi Structured Interviews,Performance Factors,Teacher Attitudes

Interdisciplinary thinking is gaining momentum as an important topic for empirical investigation, particularly in regard to how crossing disciplinary boundaries can enrich teaching and learning across fields. There is a need for researchers who can think and work at the interdisciplinary interface. However, despite increased attention given to interdisciplinarity as a goal, there remains much to understand about the nature of interdisciplinary work and who is doing it. This study focuses on one particular interdisciplinary setting: engineering education--an interdisciplinary space at the interface between engineering and education perspectives. Findings emerged regarding three major elements of the process of becoming an interdisciplinary researcher: (1) the points of entry to this type of work and to the interdisciplinary space where this work takes place; (2) what facilitates people's continued work in and navigation through this space; and (3) strategies for successful interdisciplinarity.
Scaling up: Taking the Academic Pathways of People Learning Engineering Survey (APPLES) National. Research Brief
Author: Donaldson, Krista M.
Date: 2008-12-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Engineering Education,Undergraduate Students,Performance Factors,Correlation,Academic Persistence,Student Surveys,Evaluation Methods,Educational Research

The Academic Pathways of People Learning Engineering Survey (APPLES) was deployed for a second time in spring 2008 to undergraduate engineering students at 21 US universities. The goal of the second deployment of APPLES was to corroborate and extend findings from the Academic Pathways Study (APS; 2003-2007) and the first deployment of APPLES (spring 2007) on factors that correlate with persistence in engineering on a national scale. The APPLES2 set of deployments, which surveyed over 4,200 students, was among the largest and broadest cross-sectional surveys focusing on undergraduate education ever undertaken. The total response for the survey was 4,266 subjects from the 21 institutions after data cleaning. The average survey response rate relative to the undergraduate engineering populations at the participating institutions was 14 percent. Eighty-five percent of the APPLES participants claimed the $4 incentive, although only 76 percent of the incentive claimants followed through to collect the incentive. Eight out of the 21 institutions met all their strata targets. The most commonly missed targets were non-persisters and ethnic minority students. There were two cases of attempted large-scale fraud. Fraud was defined as a large number of ineligible submissions during one institution's survey deployment. Using a combination of IP tracking and timing data, the team was able to identify these submissions for removal from the data set.

Subjects: Engineering Education,Student Attitudes,Psychometrics,Academic Persistence,Performance Factors,Student Surveys,Evaluation Methods,Test Construction,Research Methodology

The Persistence In Engineering (PIE) survey was developed to identify and characterize the fundamental factors that influence students' intentions to pursue an engineering degree over the course of their undergraduate career, and upon graduation, to practice engineering as a profession. The PIE survey is one of five data-gathering methods used in the APS. This research brief discusses the initial development and refinement of the PIE survey instrument and its role as part of the Academic Pathways Study (APS) of the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE).

Subjects: Engineering Education,Research Design,Research Methodology,Program Implementation,Program Descriptions,Performance Factors,Research Problems

The Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education was founded in 2003 with five collaborating institutions. A multi-institutional, multi-year grant offers many opportunities for the demands of reality to interfere with design goals. In particular, at Colorado School of Mines (CSM) student demographics required adjustment of the original APS research design. This paper describes the challenges and solutions of the recruitment process at CSM.
