This is an index to the three volumes (ED 033 859, ED 033 860, ED 033 861) reporting the first European Survey on Educational Research, published in 1969 and based on replies from eighteen countries covering the activities of one hundred nine research institutes. Part one of the index lists the names of all researchers mentioned in the survey as…

This program was designed to prepare research specialists for public and private schools through a combination of credit instruction, non-credit instruction and seminars, and field work in various research situations. Thirteen fellows took part in the program, which covered one academic year and one summer session, and each carried out an…

One hundred and fifty-two terminated research grants are listed. Information includes grant number, investigator, institution, and title of research. Requests for reports or publication are to be made directly to the investigator. (JK)

The folklore surrounding research assistantships (the type of "research apprenticeship" that is held concurrently with a student's academic studies) must be investigated to determine what aspects of such experiences are most influential in motivating the assistant toward and preparing him for a productive research career. Unverified assumptions…

This paper advances a point of view concerning the differences between basic and applied research in adult education, indicates some of the problems of conducting applied research studies, describes briefly an actual study which seems to exemplify certain problems and exigencies of applied research, and finally points up implications for the role…

The report describes the third in a series of Conferences for New Manpower Researchers. The purpose of the conference is to serve as a forum for the interchange of ideas among 1969 Manpower doctoral grant recipients as a means of broadening their perspective on manpower policy issues. The Conference setting provides participants an opportunity to…

Surveyed investigators (N=91) studying the menstrual cycle. Showed the assumption that researchers are unable to publish studies with nonsignificant findings to be unwarranted. Found much of the research did not lend itself to a hypothesis-testing model. A more important contribution to the likelihood of publication was research productivity.…

Although contributions to AAMD (American Association on Mental Deficiency) journals remain high, the number of new contributors has diminished in the last 20 years. Results of a questionnaire show that most contributors to AAMD journals hold advanced degrees and that training is related to scholarly productivity. (Author/CL)

Background: An extensive body of researches has favored the use of regression over other parametric analyses that are based on OVA. In case of noteworthy regression results, researchers tend to explore magnitude of beta weights for the respective predictors. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine both beta weights and structure…

This paper presents three variable deletion strategies in canonical correlation analysis. All three strategies are illustrated by examples. The first strategy uses the canonical communality (h2) coefficients of the three functions to decide which variable to delete. The second function also uses the canonical communality coefficients, but only…
