The hypothesis that student perceptions of experimentally manipulated teacher structuring, soliciting, and reacting behaviors would mediate the effects of those teacher variables on student achievement was found true for structuring and reacting but not for soliciting. (MJB)

In an attempt to correct for limitations in the Program Evaluation and Review Technique-Critical Path Method (PERT-CPM), the Graphical Evaluation and Review Technique (GERT) has been developed. This management tool allows for evaluation during the facilities' development process. Two figures and two references are provided. (DCS)

More and more high schools are implementing Advisory programs for a variety of reasons: personalization, academics & study skills, life success skills, self-knowledge, addressing the concern about students feeling "lost" in the high school setting, first line of contact for the parents, and portfolios.

Organizational, work role, and behavioral variables are explored in a sample of 787 senior British managers working in 78 business organizations. Structuring of activities is found to be associated with higher levels of conflict and hardly at all with conforming behavior; while centralization is associated with higher levels of conforming…

Five operational steps are proposed to PERT out" a communication research project; advantages of PERT in planning communication research are described. (Author)

Factor analysis in several populations, covariance structure models, three-mode factor analysis, structural equations systems with measurement model, and analysis of covariance with measurement model are all shown to be specializations of a general moment structure model. Some new structured linear models are also described. (Author/CTM)

The planning technique or device, regardless of its degree of sophistication, is only a tool and cannot be substituted for effective managers. The planning process must be an integral part of the entire management process, which often evolves over many generations of trial and error. The function of planning and management entails the continuous,…

A system of network scheduling develops successful fund-raising models. (Editor)

Describes a procedure employing network analysis for designing an undergraduate program in chemistry, mathematics and physics in a Mexican university. Advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed. Illustrative tables and diagrams are presented. Bibliography. (LC)
