Title: Practical Theories of Teaching, Media, and Classroom Management.
Year: 1994
Abstract:
This paper examines teachers' practical theories of teaching and ways in which individual teachers participate in a social solidarity, based on Richard Rorty's idea of solidarity as clinging to one's own ethnocentrism to understand differences between right and wrong, good and bad. Social solidarity is seen as holding people together, defining them as a group, and honoring one's own ethnocentrism as a starting place for social criticism and the establishment of pluralism. Practical theories of teaching are theories constructed from confronting the practical problems of the act of teaching and from the solidarity of practitioners. Practical theories of teaching call upon a teacher's solidarity to solve practical problems. When teachers select media that "work" in classroom instruction, they are, in effect, making a connection between the solidarity of students, their own solidarity, and their customized practical theories of teaching. By choosing media consistent with these three factors, effective classroom management may follow. Therefore, media and classroom management are examples of the interaction between a teacher's solidarity and practical theories of teaching. (Contains 19 references.) (JDD)

Title: A Study Combining Criticism and Qualitative Research Techniques for Appraising Classroom Media.
Year: 1993
Abstract:
Qualitative criticism is a method of understanding things, actions, and events within a social framework. It is a method of acquiring knowledge to guide decision making based on local knowledge and a synthesis of principles from criticism and qualitative research. The function of qualitative criticism is centered with Richard Rorty's theoretical framework of solidarity. The basic principles of criticism, qualitative research, and qualitative criticism are outlined. The contributions of qualitative criticism have been and will continue to be vital to the study of education. The distinction between qualitative criticism and qualitative research is in the intent and extent of the inquiry, but both share common assumptions with naturalistic inquiry. Qualitative criticism in education intends to describe, interpret, and evaluate instruction. Its functions are described in terms of the axioms of naturalistic inquiry defined by Y. Lincoln and E. Guba. The difference between criticism and qualitative criticism is in the emphasis on naturalistic inquiry. The larger framework of Rorty's concept of solidarity and the viewpoint of George Herbert Mead for understanding social interaction are described. The use of qualitative criticism in an educational study is illustrated through a preliminary study of teacher selection of instructional media that considered the preferences of junior high school students. A study of how teachers use qualitative criticism is in progress. One table contrasts positivist and naturalist axioms. (SLD)

Title: A Revised Critical Schema for Planning and Selecting Print and Non-print Media for Socially Diverse Classroom Environments.
Year: 1992
Abstract:
Focusing on suggestions about selecting media for use by teachers, this paper summarizes a follow-up qualitative research study on a seventh grade teacher's approach to the selection of print and non-print media and presents a revised critical schema for such selection. The paper notes that the follow-up study indicated that the expression of student views related to media entered into the teacher's deliberative process and significantly changed the critical schema already developed based on the initial study of a third-grade teacher. The schema featured in the paper is based on the type of selection decisions made by the seventh-grade science teacher and how his decisions compared and contrasted with those of other teachers and students who were interviewed. The paper concludes that teachers should have access to the value-laden, critical position of the producers of media to assist them in making context-related decisions about the selection of media.

Title: Instructional Technology and Proliferating World Views. Symposium: Technological Equity: Issues in Ethics and Theory.
Year: 1988
Abstract:
Four concepts are considered in light of their impact on instructional technology and design, i.e., the value status of technology, the proliferation of worldviews, equity in education, and the relationship of ethical issues to practice. The assumption that instructional technology is a value-neutral method of conveying instructional information is challenged by showing how instructional technology is value intensive in its support of a particular worldview, i.e., the scientific worldview. Heinich's definition of educational technology, with its emphasis on elements of replicability, reliability, communication, and control, is used as a framework to discuss: (1) the dichotomy between educational equity and educational excellence, i.e., provision of maximum access to educational resources for everyone vs. increased access to educational resources for those who excel; (2) current challenges to the scientific worldview from groups who hold alternative worldviews about the production and justification of knowledge; and (3) the challenge to the scientific worldview presented by the "new pragmatism," or "social construction," as it creates a void allowing for the empowerment of alternative "knowledge communities," e.g., religious and ethnic groups. The instructional design point of view, which embraces convergent and measurable responses pegged to carefully specified objectives in the transfer of a pre-selected, invariant body of knowledge, is called into question in light of the development of more fluid, multiple knowledge structures negotiated at the local level.

Title: Relationship of Ego Development to Perception of Health.
Year: 1984
Abstract:
Research has demonstrated that perceived health, while related to objective determinants of health, is a separate determination of individuals using different information than others. To investigate the relationship of ego development to perceptions of health, 192 subjects (64 college students, 64 adult community residents, and 64 retired older adults) completed two measures of ego development and four measures of health status and well being. An analysis of the results showed that subjective well being and an awareness of actual health problems were significant predictors of the self-rating of health for college students and retired older adults. Among community residents, increased educational status and more complex ego development levels were associated with positive self-ratings of health. Endorsements on self-report health measures varied significantly according to complexity of ego development, with more complex people endorsing items reflecting better health status. These findings suggest that the self-rating of health represents an assessment of individuals' satisfaction with their current level of coping with health problems. (Author/BL)

Abstract:
R. T. Ogawa and B. Malen's article does not meet its own recommended standards for rigorous testing and presentation of its own conclusions. Use of the exploratory case study to analyze multivocal literatures is not supported, and the claim of grounded theory to analyze multivocal literatures may be stronger. (SLD)

Title: Interorganizational Partnerships in Local Job Creation and Job Training Efforts: Six Case Studies. Final Report.
Year: 1989
Abstract:
A study examined six cases where job training and economic development had been successfully linked through an interorganizational arrangement. Cases were nominated by U.S. Employment and Training Administration officials, job training and economic development experts, and published reports. The six organizations of primary focus were Pima County Community Services Department, Arizona; Susquehanna Region Private Industry Council, Inc., Maryland; Chester County Partnership for Economic Development, Pennsylvania; Northeast Florida Private Industry Council, Inc., Florida; Greater Grand Rapids Area Economic Team, Michigan; and Seattle-King County Economic Development Council, Washington. The cases covered sites with varied demographic and economic characteristics, but did not cover areas suffering from chronic economic problems or with a large proportion of minority people. Data were collected during two visits to each site in 1989. In each of the six cases, a single organization headed the interorganizational efforts, with the lead organization in three cases being a Job Training Partnership Act organization and, in the other three cases, an economic development agency. While all six arrangements had contractual agreements among participating organizations through which funds were paid for services to all six, informal networks were more important than the formal agreements. It was concluded that in these six cases, interorganizational arrangements produced close coordination of job training and economic development activities, and that these activities were plausibly linked with exemplary job training and job creation outcomes. (This document includes a list of 43 references and the six case studies.) (CML)

Title: Managing for Excellence in Urban High Schools: District and School Roles. Final Report.
Year: 1986
Abstract:
This 3-year study attempted to identify school and district management practices that produce exemplary urban high schools. Information was gathered from 40 high schools with the following characteristics: (1) offering a comprehensive curriculum with no examination requirements; (2) located in one of the 166 largest and densest central cities; and (3) serving at least 30 percent disadvantaged students and at least 30 percent racial or ethnic minorities. Despite an extensive screening effort, only four of the 40 schools studied were found to have scholastic achievement and attendance rates that qualified them as "exemplary." Nevertheless, a variety of instructional management, organizational management, and district-school co-management practices were identified in the remaining four schools that were were believed to produce exemplary outcomes that could be associated with school effectiveness theory, excellence theory, and collaborative efforts by districts and schools. The study concludes that all three approaches were relevant and complementary in developing a framework for improving practices in urban high schools. Recommendations for further research are suggested. Twenty-seven tables of statistical data and ten vignettes are included. A list of 143 references, field guides for conducting intensive, focused, and interview site visits, and an analysis of practices at four intensive sites are appended. (FMW)

Title: Identifying Advanced Technologies for Education's Future.
Year: 1985
Abstract:
A study to determine how three advanced technologies might be applied to the needs of special education students helped inspire the development of a new method for identifying such applications. This new method, named the "Hybrid Approach," combines features of the two traditional methods: technology-push and demand-pull. Technology-push involves creating new technologies before markets are identified; demand-pull strategies focus on identifying user needs and developing technologies to meet them. The hybrid approach identifies existing applications of technology in one field and forecasts their future applicability to situations in another field. Five steps are involved: (1) defining the technology, (2) identifying current uses of the technology, (3) obtaining specialists' views of the potential applicability of the current uses to new settings, (4) rating the scenarios developed in the previous step according to their chances for success, and (5) disseminating information about the potential uses found. A modified Delphi technique was used for the hybrid approach in the study. This paper draws on one aspect of the study (concerning applications of artificial intelligence technology to special education) as an illlustration of the workings of the process. (PGD)

Title: Excellence in Urban High Schools: An Emerging District/School Perspective.
Year: 1984
Abstract:
This report presents the preliminary findings of the District/Secondary School Study. The study had two purposes: (1) to identify ways of managing urban high schools to produce excellence, and (2) to recommend policy-relevant guidance to existing school and district administrators. The study design focused on the testing of two specific theories for managing schools: school effectiveness theory and organizational excellence theory. On the basis of preliminary results, the report tentatively concludes that schools are more amenable to management initiatives than originally thought. In addition, there are indications that the sources of managerial initiative are much more diverse and complex than the single organization implicit in the school effectiveness or managerial excellence theories, both of which tend to treat the school as the sole source of managerial control over itself. In contrast, a degree of collaboration has been found which suggests a pattern in which schools and districts "co-manage" the school in specific ways that produce desirable outcomes. (RDN)

Title: Adolescents Educated in Israel and in the Soviet Union: Differences in Moral Judgment
Journal: Journal of Cross Cultural Psychology; v6 n1 p108 21 1975
Year: 1975
Abstract:
Moral judgments of Israeli and Soviet educated adolescents who had recently arrived in Israel were compared on a relativistic-realistic dimension, using a specially designed instrument - the Morality Shifting in Adolescence Questionnaire. Soviety educated adolescents were significantly more realistically oriented in moral judgment and in both groups, girls were more realistically oriented than boys. Differences are related to differences in societal socialization processes. (Author/EH)

Title: Effects of Bombardment on the Manifest Anxiety Level of Children Living in Kibbutzim
Journal: Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology; v40 n2 p287 91 1973
Year: 1973
Abstract:
