Adjustments made between 1950 and 1960 in the census data classification systems are described in detail. Tables present (1) detailed occupations for 1960 and their 1950 counterparts, showing the 1950 data for both classification systems, and 1960 data for the 1960 classification system, (2) detailed industries for 1960 and their 1950…

The dominant images that have characterized periods - "intellectualism" of the '30s, purposefulness of the '40s, "apathy" of the '50s, and "idealism" of the '60s - represent population rather than value changes. It may be generally assumed that students come to college believing, to various degrees, that college is a…

Originating from an interest in the language-cognition relationship as reflected in the cognitive abilities of children, this study was planned to examine the differing theoretical implications of Piaget and Vygotsky regarding categorization. The instrument designed for this study, the Question Game, based on the game of Twenty Questions, was made…

Guidelines are presented for physical education on campuses where students pursue a curriculum leading to academic degrees in physical education. The guideline developed is based on activity hours per week, square feet per activity facility, students per activity facility, hours per week and station use. (HH)

There are two distinct but related purposes for carrying out a "discriminant analysis": (1) discrimination, and (2) classification. The primary objective of this paper was to review the outputs of selected computer programs often used to carry out a "discriminant analysis" with respect to these two purposes. Information provided by the programs on…

This document is a review of Canada's attempt to develop a standardized, multipurpose occupational classification system suited to national requirements. The main objective of Volume 1 the CCDO is to provide an instrument for use in manpower research and analysis, for statistical survey purposes, census taking, and for operational activities such…

This guide to the use of International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) provides a summary of what ISCED is, what it has been designed to do, some of the things it has not been designed to do, and how it may be used. The system classifies courses, programs, and fields of education according to their educational content. The educational…

The purposes of the study were to determine what relationships between form and function of educational objectives can be identified in curriculum literature, and what philosophical beliefs in terms of the axiology of curriculum design are compatible with various combinations of form and function of objectives. A search of the literature yielded…

To study the differences in teachers' time allocations to various functions when volunteers were and were not present, as well as the differences in the amount of adult time spent with individual pupils in these sessions, an experimental design was employed that included a taxonomy of classroom functions based both on a theoretical framework and…

Press coverage of a suburban midwest school district is analyzed as a set of time series of observations including the amount and quality of coverage. Possible shifts in these series because of the emergence of controversial issues are analyzed statistically using the Integrated Moving Average Time Series Model. Evidence of significant shifts in…

Sorting things into groups is a basic intellectual task that allows people to simplify with minimal reduction in information. Classification techniques, which include both clustering and discrimination, provide step-by-step computer-based procedures for sorting things based on notions of generalized similarity and on the "class description"…

Two papers are included as Part Four of this report on Salton's Magical Automatic Retriever of Texts (SMART) project report. The first paper: "A Controlled Single Pass Classification Algorithm with Application to Multilevel Clustering" by D. B. Johnson and J. M. Laferente presents a single pass clustering method which compares favorably…

Provided is a dichotomous key to the common genera of marine algae and angiosperms which are taken aboard the Orange County Floating Marine Laboratory. It is designed primarily for use by junior and senior high school students. Drawings of representative members of the various genera are included. This work was prepared under an ESEA Title III…

The measurement of interlingual distance (how far removed one language is from another) is both possible and feasible; and it can be computed in different ways. The difference between the codes of the two languages can be measured by one technique and the differences in samples of discourse by another. The samples may be measured as static…

This paper (1) reviews the literature and examines historically some of the more important theoretical highlights that pertain to both self-as-subject and self-as-object definitions of self, (2) briefly describes and discusses the various assessment approaches designed to assess "self concept" in young children according to a specially developed…
