This paper reviews a descriptive model that attempts to build a relationship between funding and school effectiveness. The model describes schools in terms of their component parts. The model allows policymakers to make assumptions about how much improvement in student performance should be expected as a result of changes in funding. It also…

Correlation of the Scholastic Assessment Test I: Reasoning Test (SAT I) scores and high school grade point average (HSGPA) with freshman grade point average (FGPA) were studied in a sample of 23 colleges. The SAT I predicts FGPA about equally well across different ethnic groups. Correlation of the SAT I and the composite of SAT I scores and HSGPA…

The projected increase in adult population will require changes in the educational structure of society. Revenue sharing will make politicians increasingly responsive to local adult education needs. (MS)

Bacon production was the area of study used in evaluating the use of Cue-Motor Association Theory in determining and predicting the number of cycles for an operator to reach standard rating. The "Elemental Learning" method was superior to the "Whole-job" method. Part 1 appeared in the November issue (CE 500 241) (AG)

Identification of grade nine student characteristics which discriminate significantly between retainees and dropouts in the vocational curriculum is shown to be possible to a limited degree. (MS)

It is suggested that the minimum IQ for the four year program is 80 and the minimum for the five year program 100. (Author)

Predicts that unless space is designed to fit the dynamics and fluctuating educational needs of our century, newly built campuses will become obsolescent even before their dedication date. (Author)

This paper discusses the Lens Model' approach to the analysis of subject performance in multiple-cue judgment tasks embedded in probabilistic environments. (Author/RK)
