This study used psychological scaling techniques to assess ethical statements based upon the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women's code for officials and spectators, and depicts, in quantified terms, how such ethical statements were perceived and valued by university students. (MB)

Creation and implementation of a system to standardize course descriptions and expedite storage and transfer of data. (RA)

Part 3 of a series to develop a research technique to evaluate learning disabled children and to determine effective and non-effective elements in the teaching process. (RJ)

Two sets of measurements evaluated performance on typographically inverted text that students had learned to read 13 to 15 months earlier. (Editor)

Identifies problems in codifying vocational knowledge, including inappropriate dualisms such as theoretical versus practical and omission of important tacit knowledge. Outlines Polanyi's ideas about tacit knowledge and presents a knowledge taxonomy as a possible strategy for codification and advocates a holistic teaching approach. (Contains 52…

The Standard Occupational Classification is a new approach to classifying occupations being developed that will furnish a coding system and nomenclature to meet the varied needs of those concerned with identifying, classifying, and coding occupations. (Author/BP)

Focuses on the procedures available for substituting a special predictive coding method for some of the more complex general regression procedures. (Author)

As part of a continuing effort to improve existing methodology for development and use of occupational data gathering devices, this report considers the relative validity of two varied item formats for obtaining length of service data; specification in total months versus a combined years and months formulation. The later format was found to have…

This classification scheme attempts to demonstrate a method of controlling and organizing an indexing language for the physical forms of non-book media. The classification is based on the technique of facet analysis. It comprises a classification of the concepts of the subject with an alphabetical listing of the verbal descriptions of the subject.…

The report contains five papers dealing with some problems of a general classification scheme covering the whole field of knowledge which were presented at a conference held in London, June 1963. Topics covered included retrieval schemes, classification problems, inadequacies of existing classification schemes and the proposal of the…

Classroom observation has the potential of obtaining valuable information regarding teacher and child behavior. This study examines the accuracy of observers coding a standard stimuli. In this procedure the observer's bias is examined, as well as the confidence that can be placed in the observation code itself. Through these procedures the exact…

The revision of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank (SVIB), the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory (SCII), introduces Holland's theory of occupational types into the empirical structure of the SVIB. Emphasis on Holland's theory is evident throughout the SCII profile. Empirical coding of occupations was accomplished by: (1) scoring each of the…

This paper contains optional modifications and additions to the Brophy-Good Dyadic Interaction Coding Manual (ED 042 688). Included are 1) suggestions for changes in the way level-of-question is coded; 2) modifications of the child's answer categories for simplification or expansion; 3) new distinctions for coding the teacher's feedback following…
