Hanson, John W. (1970). Secondary Level Teachers: Supply and Demand in Ethiopia. This is one of 14 country studies which together with a final volume of summary and analysis will comprise a comprehensive Report on the Supply of Secondary Level Teachers in English-Speaking Africa. Each study is focused on the problem of determining the likely demand for overseas personnel for staffing secondary level institutions through 1975. Each gives a short description of the country's geographic, economic, and political situation; traces the development of secondary education and makes projections for the future; assesses the present and future supply of secondary level teachers in each field; and draws conclusions as to the resulting demand for expatriate secondary level teachers. A final chapter draws implications and makes recommendations for long-range planning. The Ethiopia study finds that although in the past Ethiopia has needed many expatriate teachers, particularly Peace Corps volunteers, it is now embarking on several new teacher training programs. In consequence…

Renard, Rosamunde (1996). What Mothers Have To Say. Evaluation: Parents as Teachers. Programme: Part One. A survey was administered to families in St. Lucia during home visits between November 1993 and July 1995, after the local Parents As Teachers Programme had been affiliated with the Parents As Teachers Program in St. Louis, Missouri (affiliation took place in 1991). In all, 2000 home visits were conducted in the communities of Laborie, Banse, Soufriere, Augier, Vieux-Fort and Choiseul by eight parent educators, six St. Lucian and two American Peace Corps volunteers. Family profiles were gathered which revealed that 78% of mothers and fathers had only primary education; 51% of the mothers were between 20 to 30 years of age; 58% of families had more than 3 other family members living with them; 68% of mothers worked as housewives in their homes; and the overwhelming majority of fathers who were employed were employed in low-status jobs. Four main types of parent concerns emerged from the home visits: abuse (emotional and physical), poverty, irresponsibility of fathers, and enthusiasm…

Banks, James A. (2004). Remembering "Brown": Silence, Loss, Rage, and Hope. Multicultural Perspectives, v6 n4 p6-8. The author was in the seventh grade at the Newsome Training School in Aubrey, Arkansas when the Supreme Court handed down "Brown v. Board of Education" on May 17, 1954. His most powerful memory of the "Brown" decision is that he has no memory of it being rendered or mentioned by his parents, teachers, or preachers. In his rural southern Black community, there was a conspiracy of silence about "Brown". It was completely invisible. The silence, loss, rage, and hope that "Brown" evoked still simmer in Black and White communities throughout the United States. Schools throughout the nation are now resegregated. Blacks and Whites often remain silent to maintain the peace. Blacks feel that much of their culture has been lost and eradicated from the schools in their communities. There is White rage about affirmative action and massive immigration and Black rage about their plight in America. "Brown" gave people hope that America might one day… [Direct]

Klineberg, Otto (1981). Mental Health: An Interdisciplinary and International Perspective. The World Federation for Mental Health was founded as an international apolitical organization concerned with quality of life rather than merely the absence or prevention of mental illness. An examination of the manner and extent to which mental problems arise in different cultural settings can provide data needed to understand the relationship between cultural relativism and human beings. Criteria relevant to the quality of life and positive mental health concern self-actualization and personal growth, integration, autonomy, a correct perception of reality, environmental mastery, and the correctness of the self-concept. In many countries, problems of old age, violence and aggression, and changes in the status of women are issues requiring an interdisciplinary approach. Major issues which are international and inter-disciplinary in character include rapid social change, overpopulation, mass media and behavior, generational conflict, mental health and education, mental health and the…

Linder, Fredric; And Others (1986). Locus of Control and Value Orientations of Adult Learners in Postsecondary Education. The locus of control and value orientations of undergraduate and graduate students in schools of business and education at Virginia Commonwealth University were assessed. Rotter's Internal-External Locus of Control Scale and Rokeach's Value Survey were administered to 1,139 students who ranged in age from 18 to over 40. Results indicated that older students were more internally-oriented than younger students in both schools and that males were more internally-oriented than females in the school of business. The terminal and instrumental values given highest priority by students in both schools were identical. There were significant differences between the schools for the values "A World of Peace,""Happiness,""Ambitious," and "Helpful." Partial correlations of terminal and instrumental value rankings with locus of control scores controlled for age and sex indicated that internally-oriented business and education students valued "A Sense of…

This is the second of a series of three bulletins dealing with \Supervisory Strategies in Clinical Experiences.\ The first of the two papers, \Microteaching: History and Present Status,\ by James M. Cooper and Dwight W. Allen, begins with a definition of microteaching as a teaching situation which is scaled down in terms of time and numbers of students, but which is not synonymous with simulated teaching, as the teacher, students, and lesson are all \real.\ The history of microteaching from its development in 1963 is outlined, followed by an explanation of the rationale, the uses of microteaching in preservice and inservice training in the Peace Corps, counseling, supervisor training, and the training of college teachers. Research evidence on the effectiveness of microteaching is examined and the teaching skills involved are listed. There is a bibliography of 58 items. The second paper, \Microteaching in Teacher Education Programs,\ by Robert F. Schuck, considers three programs: 1)… [PDF]

(1997). The State of the World's Children 1997. This report on the well-being of the world's children focuses on the issue of child labor and its impact on children's lives. Chapter 1 provides a historical context for children's rights and highlights the need to guarantee the civil, social, economic, and political rights of children. The chapter shows how the world's course toward peace, equality, development, and justice can be helped by the conviction expressed in the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child that children have the same spectrum of rights as adults. Chapter 2 gives an overview of child labor, its practice in developing and industrialized countries, its origins, the importance of basic education as a deterrence to child labor, and potential actions to prevent the practice. It proposes six steps to end child labor: (1) immediate elimination of hazardous and exploitative child labor; (2) provision of free and compulsory education; (3) wider legal protection; (4) birth registration of all children; (5) data… [PDF]

Christie, Daniel J.; Hanley, C. Patricia (1988). The Psychological Impact of an Educational Unit about Conflict and Nuclear War on Adolescents. The purpose of this study was to clarify the psychological impact of nuclear issues education on preadolescents in order to obtain data that might be useful in developing public policy concerning the role of nuclear issues education. Teachers presented "Choices," an educational unit on nuclear war and conflict, to sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students, and the effects of the unit on both teachers and students were evaluated with pre- and post-tests. "Choices" was developed to help students understand the power of nuclear weapons, the consequences of their use, and options available to resolve conflict among nations by methods other than nuclear war. The program's purpose is to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to understand that there are choices are available for achieving world peace. This paper describes the study's methods, procedures, and results. The findings indicated that use of "Choices" tended to reduce teachers and… [PDF]

Roumani, Judith (1978). Foreign Language Learning for Older Learners: Problems and Approaches. An examination of some of the learning difficulties of Peace Corps volunteers 45 years of age and older who have attempted to learn a second language, combined with a review of research findings on the learning capacity of older learners, reveals areas in which the older learner can be helped to more complete success in foreign language study. Specific recommendations begin with the adjustment of physical classroom conditions such as lighting, temperature, seating, and acoustics. Individual needs and abilities should be defined in terms of prior education, sex, time elapsed since formal education, and previous exposure to foreign languages. Individualized instruction should be emphasized. Instruction will be relevant to older learners if material is drawn from the lives of people their age. Self-pacing should be emphasized instead of speed. The contract approach to attainable short-term goals can be useful. Concentration will be enhanced by breaking material and study periods into… [PDF]

Khoi, Le Thanh (1992). The Role of Education in the Cultural and Artistic Development of the Individual. Cultural development is the development of knowledge, values, and attitudes bringing about the fulfillment of personalities and their creative capabilities. School in general stresses cognitive development and uses authoritarian methods to impose its view, thereby promoting imitation over initiative and critical thinking. School counterbalances the economic and technical tendencies of the dominant ideology and can promote international understanding and promote peace. Cultural development requires understanding of the past and present. Individuals should be aware of cultural contributions to their nations from other cultures. Such awareness can come through the study of all disciplines: literature, history, the arts, and so on. An interdisciplinary approach is necessary not only because it corresponds to the global character of modern life, but because the rapid pace of change requires teaching that brings about attitudes which are ready to adapt to change. Education should make… [PDF]

Arnold, Shirley C. (1982). P.E.A.C.E. Project Revisited. In January 1981 the Community Advisory Council of the North Allegheny School District in Pennsylvania undertook a program called Planning for Educational Awareness through Community Examination (PEACE). This program involved a poll of the community to determine the major issues facing schools in the eighties and public opinion about how these issues ought to be addressed. By June 1981, five task forces were at work, focusing on the agenda, data identification, issues clarification, data gathering, and public relations. By September, school administrators had been informed, a preliminary list of issues had been generated, and public forums were scheduled for October. A total of 120 persons–considered a low turnout–attended the forums. The top issues identified included correlation of student needs with educational programs, rising costs of education, school discipline, equitable allocation of funds, and educational excellence. The final report included the ranking of the issues as…

(1997). Recruiting, Preparing and Retaining Teachers for America's Schools Progress Report: Pathways to Teaching Careers. This report describes the DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund's Pathways to Teaching Careers Program, which is designed to help increase and diversify the supply of well-trained public school teachers willing to work in low-income schools. Program design drew on findings of leading educational researchers that made a strong case for investing in programs to recruit and prepare nontraditional candidates to become teachers. This included men and women already serving as classroom aides, substitute teachers, or emergency certified teachers in the very schools having staffing problems. The project formed partnerships with schools of education at colleges and universities, mostly in New York City, to begin recruiting nontraditional teachers. In subsequent years, the program was expanded to other regions, and components were added to target paraprofessionals and returned Peace Corps volunteers. Currently, 42 colleges and universities nationwide participate, each using grant money to… [PDF]
