This report of the findings of 14 years of research in fellowship selection techniques under the National Science Foundation Graduate Fellowship Program is organized primarily under research topics, though changes in panel procedures and data processing introduced either on the basis of the research findings or through less formalized experience…

This report presents 4 tables that give a summary of all research doctorates earned during the period July 1, 1969 through June 30, 1970. Highlights of the findings are: (1) there were 14.4% more Ph.D.'s granted in fiscal year 1970 than the previous year; (2) 78.8% of all doctorate recipients planned to enter regular employment following…

As one means of assessing the effects of graduate programs and fellowship awards in special education, a survey of the educational and professional status of special education applicants was conducted approximately 4 years after the filing of original applications to graduate school. The survey showed the following results: a) 71 percent of…

The Multiple Alternatives Program (MAP) represented an open experimental approach to graduate education. Assuming attitudinal changes must necessarily precede effective new learning, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of MAP on attitudes and self-concepts of participants. The statistically significant findings indicate that the…

Methods of mapping cognitive structure were compared. Free and controlled word association tests and a tree-construction test were administered to graduate students. Very similar patterns of relations among words and graphic representations of these structures were produced. No agreement among the individual measures of concept interconnectedness…

This laboratory analogue investigated the effects of supervisor skillfulness and supervisor-supervisee attitude similarity on the attraction of the supervisee to the supervisor. Results showed a main effect of supervisor skillfulness on attraction but did not show attraction to vary as a function of supervisor-supervisee attitude similarity.…

Princeton University's Community College Internship Program trains graduate students for community college teaching positions through a combination of 12 introductory seminars and a semester of practical classroom experience.
