Insight into the structure of the labor market and its operations in terms of careers can be gained through analysis of occupational mobility patterns at a detailed category level. Methodology components used to extend previous methods of defining career fields as evinced in mobility patterns are: (1) mobility matrix creation; (2) mobility…

Research attempted to establish the existence or lack of existence of an identifiable "rural culture" and to establish the presence or absence of an equivalence relationship between geographic residence and rural culture. A factor analysis of a wide range of attitudinal questions from the 1977 National Opinion Research Center (NORC)…

Organizational communication research needs a conceptual model or taxonomy of variables for developing a knowledge base for past and future findings and information access and retrieval. The proposed Outcome-Determinant-Interface (ODI) model distinguishes three major groups of variables, each divided into classes and subclasses. The outcome…

This study investigated the role of gesture in communication development. Gestural categories, based on communicative function, were identified from longitudinal videotapes of one mother-child pair. The videotapes were made weekly or bi-weekly from the time the child was 13 months of age until she was 42 months of age. The results of the study…

Designed to be used in conjunction with a school district's educational goals and focusing on what is to be learned rather than the methodology to be used, the program and course goals presented here are intended as guidelines for planning and evaluating elementary and secondary school curricula in computer education. Of four possible levels of…

Presented are course goals which make explicit statements of possible science learning outcomes in grades K-12. These were prepared cooperatively by three school districts within the state of Oregon. Accompanying this list of course goals is a taxonomy which provides four sets of indexes for retrieving course goals in these areas: science program…

Developed by the New York State Education Department at the University of the State of New York, the document presents preliminary study findings which recommend the removal of the current definition of "a handicapped child" and categorical labels such as "neurologically impaired". Modifications are suggested which strengthen…

For purposes of allied health education applicability, the perceptual domain was examined in terms of (1) its own taxonomy and (2) its relationship to taxonomies in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. All these taxonomies are hierarchical in style; perception involves extraction of information from presenting stimuli and there is…

To explore the relationships between factor analytic data reduction procedures and the Delphi iterative procedure for achieving consensus, a random sample of members of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching developed descriptions of teacher competencies for secondary science teachers. Following a sorting of the statements by…

This guidebook provides information related to developing laboratories for an introductory college-level course in mycology. This information will enable mycology instructors to include information on less-familiar organisms, to diversify their courses by introducing aspects of fungi other than the more strictly taxonomic and morphologic, and to…

One method of delineating reading comprehension is T. C. Barrett's taxonomy, which contains the categories of literal comprehension, reorganization, inferential comprehension, and evaluation. In a study devised to test whether the categories of this taxonomy are hierarchical, a reading comprehension test developed by the International Association…
