Emergent patterns in the development of young children's object play
The present study set out to examine developments in object play in a contemporary sample of 289 typically developing children from 8- to 60-months of age. The value of object play centers on developments in object knowledge and mental representation, along with the developmental processes of decentration, substitution, and agency. The early play studies focused on one or another of these aspects of development, and generally for the age group 12…
A Model for Recruitment and Retention of Minority Students in Teacher Preparation Programs
The authors provide a comprehensive model for planning, implementing, and maintaining an institutional effort to re cruit and maintain minority students in teacher education programs. Significant factors in planning a recruitment pro gram and suggestions for making the recruitment model institution-specific are discussed. Activities are suggested for each of the eight functions in the model

Factorial Validity of an Instrument Designed to Assess Staff Training Needs in an Ethnically and Culturally Diverse School District
The factorial validity of a 55 item instrument designed for use in a recently desegregated school district to assess staff needs as a basis for training was investigated. The instrument was designed to help determine needs in five areas: (1) multicultural awareness, (2) instructional leadership, (3) discipline strategies, (4) communication skills, and (5) instructional strategies. It was administered to 204 elementary school teachers and principa…
Sex Differences in Conditional Reasoning
Two conditional reasoning tests were administered to 34 students (17 males and 17 females) at each of four grade levels (i.e., 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th). Both tests contained conditional reasoning arguments which assessed students' comprehension of five basic principles of inference. However, they varied systematically according to the sex typing of the content (i.e., masculine or feminine). The results indicated that there were no significant sex …
Effects of Negation on Adolescents' Class and Conditional Reasoning Abilities
Sixty adolescents (30 boys and 30 girls) evaluated conclusions for deductive arguments embodying four principles of class reasoning and their logically equivalent isomorphs in conditional reasoning. The presence or absence of the negative "not" was varied systematically in the major premise of the arguments. The results indicated that (a) there was a lack of improvement during early adolescence in the ability to reason with both class and conditi…
Validity and Reliability of a Simple Device for Readiness Screening
The utility of the Hayes Early Identification Listening Response Test (HEILRT), a rapidly administered screening test for readiness for first grade, was studied with 121 kindergarten pupils who were tested at the beginning of the academic year. The test could be administered in 15 to 20 minutes to groups of up to 30 children at a time. Reliability of the test was estimated to be .86 and rater reliability was .99. The test correlated highly positi…
Expectations and Perceptions of the Role of the Guidance Counselor as Described by Students and Parents
This study compared the students' and parents' views with respect to both the perceived and the ideal role of the secondary school counselor. It was found that parents assigned higher ratings to both perceptions and expectations of counselors than did students, and both parents and students held higher expectations than perceptions of counselors. Apparently irreconcilable conflicts among idealized roles were found, which suggested implications fo…
Factorial Validity of a Student Evaluation of Teaching Instrument
The validity of the Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) used in the College of Education, University of Kentucky was studied using 3573 individual student evaluations from 254 graduate and undergraduate classes taught by 126 instructors in one semester in the College of Education. As a result of principal axis factor analysis with varimax rotation performed on the 17 item 5-point Likert Scale variables of the 22 item questionnaire, three factors…
