Offers 12 disciplinary procedures, progressing from gentle to severe. Discusses the importance of starting with the gentle procedures before moving on to the more harsh ones. (FL)

Problems in the use of punishment, including corporal punishment, restraint, and timeout, in the special education classroom indicate a need for a clear policy regarding its use. There is the danger that appropriate, limited punishment may escalate in intensity until it becomes abusive unless its users follow well-conceived guidelines. (SEW)

Reviews four major ways of measuring children's fearful behavior (through behavioral rating scales, self-report measures, projective techniques, and physiological measures). Makes the point that disruptive behaviors in dental settings are seen in relatively few children, with marked diminutions in anxiety occurring in the preschool years. (RH)

Most child care centers deprive children of what they need most to grow--opportunities to play, interact freely, experiment, and discover who they are. (Author)

Research is summarized on fundamentally different styles of inquiry, especially relating to the structure of the disciplines in the university as they reflect the structure of knowledge. Relations among the sciences and dimensions of cognitive style are examined, and an exercise is described to challenge perceptions of the disciplines. (MSE)

Used a Likert-type attitude instrument to assess how the length (8 or 16 weeks) and the level (elementary, secondary) of the student teaching experience affected student teachers' (N=62) ideology towards pupil control. Concludes that level influences change more than length of experience. (DC)

A more balanced approach to learning is proposed which incorporates a system of control that does not impinge upon the freedom of students. The stewardship principle embodies elements of both freedom and control while possessing as its base the free exercise of responsibility. (JN)

Although questioning is of interest to many fields, multidisciplinary approaches are rare. To reveal interrelationships between various literatures, a framework is formulated. The literatures on questioning in different fields are surveyed and compared. (Author/GK)

This study focuses on the relative importance attached to selected undergraduate teaching goals. Results support the merits of Holland's Theory as a conceptual framework guiding formulation of academic policies and investigations of discipline-based differences in attitudes and activities of academic professionals. (Author/GK)

A recent study revealed that stress is not as devastating for most teachers as commonly imagined, but it can be a real problem for the urban, middle-aged, high school teacher. The biggest stressor for these and other teachers is the small number of problem students who chronically misbehave. (Author/JM)

Exercise science represents an integrated approach to the study of the physiological, biochemical, and mechanical adaptations of humans to stresses imposed by a variety of physical performances as well as ambient conditions such as temperature and humidity. (MLW)

Any given academic discipline appeals to and utilizes more than one mode of knowledge; most subject matter disciplines are "interdisciplinary." To be truly educated is to have learned which intellectual difficulties to take as challenges and which to put in their place as matters of personalities or fads. (MLW)

Enumerates the issues which are at the core of the debate over the New Sociology of Education--the nature of the epistemological foundation, the adequacy of phenomenology as a basis for structural analysis, the stratification of knowledge and the power of elites in determining curriculum, and the nature of the political action implied.
