Academic research funds increased more rapidly than enrollments between 1950 and 1970 but little analysis has been made of the educational effects of the change. In part this is due to an assumption that benefits to education flow automatically from funding for university-based research. As a result most studies of graduate study report only…

Teacher behavior is not likely to be "valid" in general, but rather only under specified conditions, such as the nature of the learning objective which is being pursued, the personal and demographic characteristics of the pupil being taught, the length of time during which learning takes place, and probably the context of other classroom behaviors…

This study examined the responses children made on a photo sorting task when given a choice between race and sex as a basis for pairing photographs of Black and White children their own ages. It was hypothesized that children in racially integrated schools would make relatively fewer sortings based on race than their counterparts in racially…

This volume examines a number of facets of the labor market experience and behavior of middle-aged men. It is based on a unique set of longitudinal data collected by personal interviews among the same sample of men in 1966, 1967, 1969, and 1971. The data contain a complete record of the labor market activity of the men over a five-year period,…

This study developed the first measurement instrument designed to accompany the concept of competency basing in counselor training. In so doing, the study screened and validated a list of skills most essential in an effective counselor. The process began with a composite list of some 1600 competencies and subordinate skills enumerated by three…

A plan is presented for a long-range research program, the objective of which will be to identify technical information problems and policies relating to Federal libraries and information services, to determine priorities among those issues requiring attention, and to develop research designs for each project recommended. The program is presented…

A 6-year project is being conducted by the Department of Industrial Education of the University of Minnesota to identify criteria which are useful in counseling post-high school vocational technical students. Data are gathered through comprehensive measurement of basic competencies and selected characteristics and are analyzed to determine which…

The decision making process requires more than merely gathering and having access to data. It also involves gathering the "correct" data and "interacting" with that data to realize a desired outcome. To provide students with this type of data about education and work opportunities in such a way that they can relate it to their own goals was the…

A system which lists current research in Israel in the natural sciences, medicine, agriculture and technology was inaugurated in 1967. This system now includes 4,000 current research projects on which 3,500 individual researchers are engaged. This represents about 90% of all scientists doing non-defense research in Israel. The system is run on an…

This study was initiated in 1964 under the sponsorship of the Cooperative Research Program of the Office of Education to develop and supply data useful to policy makers and planners of training programs for research, development, and diffusion personnel in education. The first task was the construction of a logical structure to account for the…

This annotated bibliography contains materials related to such topics as: (1) worker characteristics and factors influencing success in jobs; (2) student characteristics and attitudes as predictors of job success; and (3) techniques of communicating information to students in order to help them make career choices. The materials cited represent…

The 3-week workshop concentrated on techniques and procedures for research proposals and projects in vocational education, with special emphasis on research at the local level. Participants were involved both in the formal workshop sessions and in the design of actual research proposals. A summary of two panel discussions and manuscripts for the…
