Analysis of Behavioral Perceptions and Values Among Staff and User Groups of the Junior High Schools within an Independent School District

Myers, James Arue 12 1900 (has links)
This research was designed to determine if significant differences exist among the behavioral perceptions and values held by staff and user groups of all junior high schools in a selected independent school district. This study also evaluates the applicability of social profiles to describe perceived organizational behavioral characteristics. Two published, validated survey instruments were used to collect the data. The questionnaires were distributed to randomly selected teachers (staff group) and parents and Parent-Teacher Association officers (user group) from each of the five junior high schools. Of 206 sets of questionnaires distributed, 166 (80.5 percent were returned. Computer analyses of these raw data provided both individual perceptions and descriptions for each junior high school in addition to individual values for each school's staff and user group. The data results show that the social profiles of two of the five schools are perceived differently by both their staff and user groups; furthermore, there are significant differences between the values held by the staff and user groups for each of these schools. For the other three schools, there are minor differences of perception by staff and user groups of their schools' social profiles and also among the values held by the staff and user groups. The data analysis presented in this study led to three primary conclusions. These are that (1) the instruments used complement each other in an analysis of the overall description of an organization; (2) three schools, although perceived by their staff and user groups to have minor differences in behaviors and user-group values held, are similar in organizational characteristics, methods of operation, and overall perceptions; and (3) for two of the schools which are perceived to reflect significant differences in behaviors and values held by staff and user groups, the influence of these differences may require exceptionally proficient administration to produce effectiveness and efficient operations.

The impact of the core knowledge curriculum at the junior high level as it relates to performance on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills.

Givens, Toby D. 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of the comprehensive school reform model core knowledge on the reading achievement of eighth grade students located in a suburban north Texas school district. The data compared the mean scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills of students attending the experimental core knowledge school with the control school that did not use the core knowledge curriculum. Students from both schools were compared for student achievement gains overall as well as several other categories. The study also used a qualitative survey that asked key faculty members at both schools questions regarding levels of curriculum implementation, staff knowledge of curriculum, etc. The data showed no significant differences between student achievement scores at the experimental school compared with students at the control school. However, the study found that the type of standardized test seems to have an impact on whether students in a core knowledge curriculum show higher achievement than students in a traditional curriculum. Students in a core knowledge curriculum show higher achievement on norm-referenced standardized tests when compared with students not attending a core knowledge school. When taking a criterion-referenced test such as the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, there is no difference in reading achievement between the two groups.

This study attempts to understand the characteristics of the leadership of principals of six Taipei municipal junior high schools evaluated as excellent in school affairs. This study explores four research questions: 1. How do these principals devise their plans of school affairs development and their school vision? 2. What are the main leading concepts of these principals and how do these principals achieve their goals with their staff? 3. How do these principals encourage good interaction among the school administration, the Teachers Association, and the Parents Association? 4. What are the employment concepts of these principals? The in-depth interviews are used as the research method in this study. Six principals are interviewed. Their junior high schools are evaluated as excellent in school affairs. In addition, an open questionnaire devised by me is answered by one office director, one section chief, one teacher, and one parent of each school. Through their observation of their principal’s leadership, they filled out the questionnaires. The conclusions are as in the following: 1. These principals see far and think big. Their school visions and school development goals are very clear. They see everything in three directions: the short-term, mid-term and long-term. 2. With the visions and school development goals, with employees and organizations, these principals know exactly how to control and manage the school organization, and they know how to solve problems. They can always solve problems according to their priority and achieve their goals. 3. These principals understand the school culture. They establish good relationship with parents and the community. Team work is the focus of their school organizations. Good integration and coordination is the key to win-win situation. 4. These principals know how to choose the right person for the right position. They understand how hard the staff works and how great are their efforts. With appreciation and encouragement, they know how to inspire the staff, how to provide resources to the staff, and how to support the staff to try something new. The suggestions of this study are as in the following: 1. The principal evaluation system and the support system of “the master principal” should be established to help principals’ professional development. 2. Good leadership effects come from correct leadership concepts. Principals can try to improve their visions, characters, personality, learning, and influences. 3. Principals should try hard to be the fifth-grade leaders. In addition to their professional concepts, they should listen to and accept opinions from staff and parents with modest attitude. 4. Principals should employ the right person for the right position. They should always try their best and follow their conscience.

Uma análise epistemológica do conceito de substância em livros didáticos de 5ª a 8ª série do ensino fundamental. / An epistemologic analysis of the definition of chemical substance in school books from 5th to 8th grades in Junior High Schools.

Silveira, Marcelo Pimentel da 09 January 2003 (has links)
Este trabalho consiste em uma análise epistemológica do conceito de substância apresentado, direta ou indiretamente, nos livros didáticos de 5a e 8a séries do Ensino Fundamental. O trabalho foi aliçercado na epistemologia de Gaston Bachelard utilizando, principalmente, as noções de obstáculo epistemológico e perfil epistemológico para estabelecer os critérios de análise. A partir destas considerações, procuramos identificar a presença de obstáculos epistemológicos e a existência, ou não, de uma preocupação dos autores com os diferentes momentos epistemológicos relacionados ao conceito de substância ao longo da história da evolução deste conceito. Foram analisados os livros de 5a e 8a séries, das seis coleções aprovadas pelo PNLD/2002, entendendo que estas refletem o ensino de ciências desenvolvido pela maioria dos professores das escolas públicas brasileiras, já que estes são distribuídos gratuitamente pelo governo federal. Pudemos detectar que, na maioria das coleções analisadas, prevalece a presença de obstáculos substancialistas e realistas, não havendo, também, uma preocupação com os diferentes momentos epistemológicos relacionados à evolução do conceito de substância. Enfim, a análise dos resultados indica que as coleções, em sua maioria, não apresentam uma preocupação maior com a construção do conceito de substância e, tão pouco, com as questões epistemológicas relacionadas a este conceito. / This dissertation consists of an epistemologic analysis of the definition of chemical substance given directly or indirectly in school books from 5th to 8th grades in Junior High Schools in Brazil. The dissertation was supported in the epistemology of Gaston Bachelard utilizing, mainly, the notions of epistemologic obstacle and epistemologic profile to establish the criteria for the analysis. Starting from these considerations the study seeks to identify the presence of epistemologic obstacles and whether the book authors are concerned or not about the different epistemologic moments related to the concept of substance through the history of the evolution of this concept. Books from 5th to 8th grades, from six volumes approved by PNLD/2002, were analysed. These books are considered to reflect the scientific studies developed by the majority of Brazilian public High School teachers, considering that the books are complimentarily disgtributed by the federal government. It was possible to detect that, in the majority of the volumes analysed, the presence of substancialistic and realistic obstacle prevails and that there isn''t any concern about the different epistemologic moments related to the evolution of the concept of substance. Finaly, the analysis of the results shows that most of the volumes don''t present any major concern about the construction of the concept of substance, and not even with the epistemologic matters related to this concept.
