An examination of scholastic achievement of fourth and fifth grade students in self-contained and departmentalized classrooms

Bowser, Cynthia L. 03 June 2011 (has links)
The primary purpose of the study was to examine scholastic achievement of fourth and fifth grade students in science and social studies in schools which had been organized in self-contained or departmentalized formats.A secondary purpose was to assess teachers' attitudes toward departmentalization at the elementary level.Fourth and fifth grade students in a large Indiana school corporation were the population. Random samples of 50 fourth grade students and 50 fifth grade students were drawn from schools organized in departmentalized and self-contained formats.Social studies and science test scores, subscales of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills, were analyzed using a one-way multivariate analysis of variance. Two null hypotheses were developed to test the analysis of the students' achievements.Teachers judgments about departmentalization were assessed through the use of a questionnaire with findings reported in percentage of response tables.Findings1. Fourth grade self-contained students achieved better on the social studies measure, but showed no difference on the science measure.2. There was no significant difference in achievement on either measure for the fifth grade students.3. Teacher responses stressed that departmentalization did not meet the emotional needs of students as well as the self-contained classroom.4. Teacher responses emphasized the key factor in impacting students was the teacher, not the organizational structure of the classroom.

JOB PREPARATION AND TURNOVER AMONG UNIVERSITY MUSIC DEPARTMENT CHAIRS AND BAND DIRECTORS.

PRESCOTT, WILLIAM. January 1983 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible impacts of job preparation and administrative training, levels of compensation, psychological dispositions and various demographic factors on turnover among university and college music department chairpersons and band directors. A sample of 400 music departments was drawn from 1,307 four-year universities and colleges whose curricula included music and music education. Data from the survey questionnaire were used to measure turnover and were then compared with the variables thought to influence turnover. In order to rank the order of importance of each variable on turnover, the variables were clustered into four categories relating to turnover: preparatory, compensatory, psychological and demographic. Results of the analyses showed that the preparatory factors, including formal administrative training, number of earned degrees, management seminars and workshops, had more effect on turnover than the factors in the other three categories. Among those respondents with formal administrative training, turnover decreased as the amount of training increased. The more administrative training one had, the lower was the turnover rate. The psychological factors influencing turnover, i.e., job aspirations, job expectations and their status and the degree of job satisfaction, ranked second in order of importance among the clusters. The compensation or pay factors, sometimes thought of as being important to job satisfaction, were found to be less of an influence on turnover than either the preparatory or psychological factors among the respondents of this study. The demographic cluster of variables influencing turnover ranked lowest among the four clusters. Sex, race and age showed practically no relationship to turnover. Geographic location showed a moderate relationship to turnover. This study appears to have broken new ground. Sufficient evidence has been gathered, changes are suggested in the methods and curriculum for training music department chairpersons and band directors.

Authentic Leadership, Research Integrity, and Institutions of Higher Learning: Why Focusing on Departmental Leadership Is Critical for Preserving the Sanctity of Science

Echols, Katherine I 08 December 2017 (has links)
One of the most overlooked and complex problems that universities and colleges face nation-wide is how to reduce and eliminate research misconduct. Because of the confidential nature of allegations of research misconduct and the high rate of underreporting, administrators at scholarly institutions struggle with understanding the cause of such behavior. Without a clear picture of the prevalence of misconduct or the barriers to reporting, leaders at institutions of higher learning find themselves at a disadvantage when dealing with these problems. This uncertainty coupled with a growing regulatory emphasis from federal funding agencies, results in a reactionary approach while questionable practices go unchecked. In the early 2000s, federal funding agencies began requiring colleges and universities to provide training in the responsible conduct of research prior to receiving funding. The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training covers research misconduct (falsification of data, fabricating data, and plagiarism) as well as other topics related to research misbehaviors (mentoring, peer review, data management, authorship, etc). This emphasis on training, while well intended, has not had a significant impact on faculty and student knowledge about misconduct. Authentic Leadership Theory is based on Aristotle’s concept of authenticity and has gained attention over the last decade. It is comprised of four main components: Balanced processing, internalized moral perspective, relational transparency, and self-awareness. These types of leaders focus on moral standards and values and that is what guides his or her leadership. This study evaluates the impact authentic leaders have on shaping the ethical attitudes of faculty when they are placed in direct departmental supervisory positions. A survey of faculty from 15 Mississippi colleges and universities was conducted. Results indicate that the self-awareness and relational transparency constructs of authentic leadership influence faculty attitudes towards objective research integrity issues, but the direction of influence conflicts with each of the constructs. Additional variables failed to reach a level of significance suggesting that other variables, not historically associated with organizational leadership and research integrity, are influencing faculty’s ethical perceptions. Additional attention is focused on barriers to effective leadership caused by the compliance focused culture of institutions of higher learning.
