The purpose of this study is to report information relevant to the history of the Texas Chapter of the National School Public Relations Association. Sources of information include interviews with chapter leaders, related books and articles, letters concerning chapter matters, newsletters, and chapter documents and reports. The chapter was first chartered in 1962 under the name of the Lone Star Chapter and remained active through the 1966-67 year. A period of inactivity was experienced during the 1967-68 year, and in July, 1968, efforts began to reactivate the organization under the name of the Texas Chapter. Today the chapter is an active organization serving the national association, professional school communicators, other state educational organizations, and the citizens of Texas.

學校公共關係的經營影響學校效能的成效，為瞭解二者的現況，及彼此間關係，乃從事本研究。本研究以問卷調查法進行研究，抽取101學年度新北市78所國中教師做為研究對象，問卷共發出906份，回收671份，回收率74.06％。所得資料以描述性統計分析、t考驗、單因子變異數分析(one-way ANOVA)與薛費法（Scheffe）、Tamhane T2 進行事後比較以及皮爾森積差相關分析(Pearson Correlation)等統計方法來進行資料分析。歸納研究結果獲致如下結論： 一、新北市國民中學學校公共關係屬「中上」程度表現 各層面中以「資訊傳遞」層面表現最佳，其餘依次為「成果回饋」、「意見互動」、「物質支援」、「行動參與」，以「資源分享」最難表現。 二、新北市國民中學學校效能屬「中上」程度表現 各層面中以「行政領導溝通」層面表現最佳，其餘依次為「社區認同參與」、「環境設備規劃」、「學校組織氣氛」、「教師教學輔導」，以「學生學習表現」最難表現。 三、不同背景變項的教師在學校公共關係的看法上並無顯著差異。 四、不同背景變項的教師在學校效能的差異情形 (一) 不同性別、現任職務、服務年資的教師，對於學校效能看法上，並無顯著差異。 （二）不同最高學歷的教師在學校效能看法有顯著差異，最高學歷為師範院校的教師顯著高於研究所。 （三）不同學校規模的教師在學校效能看法上有顯著差異，25至48班顯著高於73班以上。 五、新北市國民中學整體學校公共關係與學校效能具有高度相關，且為正相關，其相關係數為.730。 依據研究結果，提供國中校長、教育主管機關、未來研究者幾點建議做為參考 / What this study aimed at was to understand the current situation of school public relation and school effectiveness in junior high school of New Taipei City and the correlation between them. Questionnaire survey is used as the research method in this study. 906 samples were delivered to teachers of 78 junior high schools in New Taipei City, among them were 671 retrieved valid. The collected data were analyzed by Descriptive Statistical Analysis, t-test, One-way ANOVA, Scheffe and Pearson’s product-moment correlation. The analysis of the data revealed the following conclusions: 1.The performance of the school public relation in junior high schools of New Taipei City is above middle degree. Among the performance aspects, “information transmission” ranked first, followed by “feedback, exchange of ideas, material support, participation and resource sharing”. 2. The performance of the school effectiveness in junior high schools of New Taipei City is above middle degree. Among the performance aspects, “administrative communication” ranked first, followed by “commnity participation, facility planning, organizational climate of school, teachers’ teaching and counseling, and students’ learning expresses”. 3.Teachers with various backgrounds were no significant difference on school public relation. 4.Teachers with various backgrounds were different in school effectiveness. (1) No significance was found in opionions of teachers with different genders, current positions and working seniority. (2) Significance was found in opionions of teachers with different educational background. Teachers graduating from normal universities bore greater significance than those graduating from graduate schools. (3) Significance was found in opionions of teachers with different school sizes. Schools with 25 to 48 classes bore greater significance than schools with more than 73 classes. 5. A highly positive correlation exists in the school public relation and school effectiveness in junior high school of New Taipei City. The Correlation is .730. According to the results of the study,some suggestions are offered to junior high school principals,educational authorities,and future researchers.

The problem of this study was to determine specific competencies associated with the superintendent's role in public relations and to determine the relationship between school district size and public relations competencies needed by the superintendent. Conclusions of the study were Public relations competencies for superintendents can be identified in seven competency areas with specific competencies within each area. The seventy-seven specific public relations competencies identified in this study are all needed by practicing superintendents. There is a priority of importance among the seventy seven specific competencies with the competency area of "Relations With the Board of Education" receiving top priority and the competency area of "Personality Traits" receiving second priority. Superintendents from differing size school districts generally do not vary in their perceptions of the competency areas. Differences do exist between perceptions of superintendents of different size schools to specific competencies within competency areas.

Este trabalho avalia a implantação do PDE-Escola em duas instituições escolares no estado de Minas Gerais. O Programa, concebido de forma pouco representativa em sua elaboração macro, sugere uma maior representatividade em sua elaboração micro, mesmo com o MEC impondo um manual de implementação da política às escolas. É essa ambiguidade que motivou a presente pesquisa. Esse contexto cria um hiato de objetivos a serem investigados, tais como a incorporação por gestores e docentes das orientações de mais uma política verticalizada; a maneira em que esses grupos se relacionam na execução do Programa; e, por final, na constatação sobre como as demandas levantadas por diretores e professores na fase introdutória do Plano estão sendo materializadas nas escolas. As respostas a esses objetivos irão nos revelar o grau de incorporação das ideias do PDE-Escola, possibilitando a identificação dos ganhos e retrocessos da proposta governamental na ótica de seus protagonistas escolares. Para isso, duas escolas foram escolhidas, sendo que uma enfrentou a elaboração do PDE-Escola em sua forma clássica, com a metodologia que exigia da instituição um profundo levantamento de suas características, demandando a participação de todos os segmentos. Já a segunda, a partir de 2011, experimentou, e ainda experimenta, a elaboração em sua forma interativa, havendo, apenas, o gestor como interlocutor das informações levantadas, para muitos, descaracterizando o princípio participativo da política. Os resultados apontam para um acirramento nas relações entre gestores e docentes e uma transformação tímida no cotidiano pedagógico da escola, inclusive após a chegada dos equipamentos adquiridos com a verba do PDE-Escola, sendo que algumas das razões podem ser o caráter menos representativo da atual versão digital e a reedição de mais uma iniciativa governamental hierarquizada. / This work aims at evaluating the implementation of the PDE-School in two schools in Minas Gerais State. The program, conceived in a little representative way in its macro elaboration, suggests a greater representativity in its micro elaboration, even as MEC imposed an implementation guide of its politics to the schools. It is this ambiguity that motivated this present research. This context creates a number of objectives to be investigated, such as the incorporation of another verticalized politics by principals and teachers; the way these groups relate to one another in the execution of the Program; and finally, on how the demands raised by principals and teachers in the introductory phase of the Plan are being materialized in the schools. The answers to these objectives will reveal to our work the level of the incorporation of the PDE-Schools ideas making possible the identification of the gains as well as the setbacks of this governmental proposal from the view of its school protagonists. Thus, two schools were chosen, having in mind that one dealt with the PDE-School in its traditional format, using a methodology that demand from the institution a thorough survey of its features, requiring the participation of all its segments. The second school, since 2011, has experienced the PDE elaboration in its interactive format, being that only the Principal was the interlocutor of the gathered information, what may have, for some, mischaracterized the participative principle of its politics. The results lead to an intensification of the relations between school managers and teachers as well as to a minor transformation in the everyday pedagogics of the school, especially after the arrival of the equipment acquired with the PDE-School budget. Some of the reasons for these tensions and the few changes may be the least representative character of the present digital version and the re-edition of one more hierarchical government initiative.

The researcher has chosen as main subjects of research the students of four classes, two of the Cycle I and two of the Cycle II, their parents, their teachers and the management team (principal, viceprincipal, pedagogical coordinator and a secretary). And this way, it has been search to analyze the uses of curriculum in the school routine, through the Proposta Curricular (Propose of Curriculum), Projeto Pedagógico (Pedagogical Projetc) and the Plano de Desenvolvimento Escolar (Developing Plan of the School), and also through the observations at the school, semi-structured interviews with teachers and managers, group dynamics with texts and interactive workshop with the students.

So, it has become clear that how important is to review the role of the school and the teacher in the school context, as well as the limits, possibilities and challenges between what one lives at the school and what one lives at the community. It is proper to rebound that the school has been outlining goals in order to rescue itself as a possible space , specially through projects constructed collectively, involving whole school community / Esta dissertação apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada numa escola pública de Vitória da Conquista (BA), cujos alunos são provenientes, em sua maioria, de um bairro periférico marcado por grandes problemas sociais, como marginalidade e violência. Nela buscou-se questionar de que forma se entrecruzam o currículo e o contexto sociocultural dos alunos no cotidiano de uma escola pública, que trabalha com os anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. A investigação focaliza o currículo, com o propósito maior de analisar: como ele se relacionam no cotidiano da escola com as questões sociais (pobreza, desemprego, marginalidade e violência); como essas questões são tratadas no currículo prescrito e como se entrecruzam no currículo em ação. Optou-se pelo estudo de caso numa pesquisa qualitativa, na crença de que tal metodologia contribuiria para a melhor compreensão do objeto. Foram selecionados como principais sujeitos para a pesquisa, os alunos de quatro turmas, duas do ciclo I e duas do ciclo II, seus pais, suas professoras e o grupo da gestão (diretor, vice-diretor e coordenador pedagógico e a secretária.). Nessa perspectiva buscou-se analisar as práticas curriculares no cotidiano escolar, através da Proposta Curricular, do Projeto Pedagógico, do Plano de Desenvolvimento Escolar e também por meio de observações na escola, entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os professores e gestores; dinâmica textual e oficina interativa com os alunos. A fundamentação teórica percorreu estudos sobre a escola pública, o currículo escolar e o efeito vizinhança . Os resultados apontam que construir um currículo articulado com o contexto sociocultural do aluno é um grande desafio e que as práticas escolares, na maioria das vezes, estão distantes das práticas sociais dos alunos. Fica evidente, portanto, a importância de se rever o papel da escola e do professor no contexto escolar, assim como os limites, possibilidades e desafios entre o que se vive na escola e o que se vive na comunidade. Cabe ressaltar que a escola vem traçando metas com o propósito de se resgatar como um espaço possível , principalmente, por meio de projetos construídos coletivamente, envolvendo toda a comunidade escolar

<p>Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att undersöka vilken syn lärare och elever har påInternet som arbetsverktyg i undervisningen och skolarbetet. För att ta reda på detta har vigenomfört kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra gymnasielärare, varav två arbetar på en kommunalskola och två arbetar på ett friskolegymnasium. Dessutom har vi genomfört kvantitativaenkätundersökningar med 100 gymnasieelever, 50 på vardera skola. Vår undersökning visaratt lärarna och eleverna är positivt inställda till Internet i undervisningen, men den påvisaräven att eleverna, särskilt de på friskolan, har en tendens att se Internet som sin enda källa,vilket är något som bekymrar lärarna. De menar därtill att källkritik är något man som läraremåste gå igenom kontinuerligt för att få eleverna att förstå innebörden av det och hur viktigtdet är. I resultatdelen jämför vi hur de båda skolorna och dess lärare och elever uppfattar attInternet fungerar som arbetsverktyg och informationskälla samt hur lärarna tror att lärandetoch lärarollen kommer att te sig i framtiden. Efter resultatdelen följer en diskussionsdel där vitar upp varför vi tror att lärarna och eleverna på de två skolorna har dessa uppfattningar ochtankar kring Internet som undervisningsmaterial/medel.</p>
