Follow-up of high-risk children identified in kindergarten through direct classroom observation     

Steven R. Forness  Donald Guthrie  Robert J. Hall 《Psychology in the schools》1976,13(1):45-49

Sixty-one children, originally identified at the beginning of kindergarten on the basis of 4 distinct clusters of observable classroom behavior, were evaluated at completion of first grade. Teacher ratings and individual achievement test scores partially confirmed the predictive validity of the original clusters. Children in the nonrisk cluster continued to do well, while children in the high-risk cluster were still doing poorly in some areas. An unexpected finding was that children in another cluster, originally seen as nonrisk, also seemed to be in some difficulty. Concerns about specific aspects of observable behavior were discussed.  相似文献   

Issues in open education and environmental design     

Leonard Krasner  C. Steven Richards 《Psychology in the schools》1976,13(1):77-81

This article presents a theoretical overview of the complementary relationship between open education and environmental design. An elementary education program called the Open Corridor serves as a concrete example. The Open Corridor program dovetailed many aspects of open education and environmental design. Students, teachers, administrators, parents, and consulting psychologists served in the roles of planner and implementer. A review of open education and environmental design approaches is followed by a sketch of the Open Corridor program and a discussion of issues. A bright future exists for programs that carefully open their educational processes and plan their environments.  相似文献   

Stability of pupil behavior in short-term classroom observations     

Steven R. Forness  Donald Guthrie 《Psychology in the schools》1977,14(1):116-120

In order to determine the point at which successive days of classroom observation results in a reliable sample of behavior, a classroom of 30 kindergarten children was observed over a period of 18 days in four behavior categories. High correlations between running and total averages were obtained around the fourth day, including low base rate behaviors. Implications for subsequent classroom observation studies were discussed.  相似文献   

Eventual school placement of kindergartners observed as high risk in the classroom     

Steven R. Forness  Robert J. Hall  Donald Guthrie 《Psychology in the schools》1977,14(3):315-317

To determine whether children's observable kindergarten behavior might predict eventual educational risk, 40 of 94 children originally observed in their classrooms at the beginning of kindergarten were followed at completion of second grade. The 40 subjects appeared to be representative in that they did not differ significantly from the total sample in terms of original kindergarten classroom behavior, sex, or race. Using four clusters of kindergarten behavior, significant differences were found in eventual special placement and in ratings of teacher anecdotal material. Attending behavior correlated highly with eventual risk, leading to speculation about early identification procedures.  相似文献   

Clinical criteria for mainstreaming mildly handicapped children     

Steven R. Forness 《Psychology in the schools》1979,16(4):508-514

Although integrating handicapped children into regular classrooms has become well established educational practice, the clinical decision to mainstream a given child should be based on systematic consideration of several factors. Among these are age, pervasiveness and degree of handicap, curriculum, social skills, class size, teacher competency, and family resources. These criteria are discussed, along with various approaches to, and the pertinent evidence for and against, mainstreaming.  相似文献

Two- and Three-Year Achievement Results From the Memphis Restructuring Initiative     

Steven M. Ross  William L. Sanders  S. Paul Wright  Sam Stringfield  L. Weiping Wang  Marty Alberg 《School Effectiveness & School Improvement》2013,24(3):323-346

The purpose of this study was to analyze student achievement data from the first 3 years of the Memphis Restructuring Initiative (MRI). The MRI represents one of the first efforts by an urban school district to move past traditional top-down versus bottom-up reform debates by providing systemic support for outside-in/inside-out implementation and local co-construction of externally-developed reform designs in schools. Analyses of academic achievement focus on a state-of-the-art measure of value added assessments. At the end of 3 years the reforming schools had produced generally positive gains relative to locally matched control schools. Those results varied somewhat by reform type and by level of poverty in the communities being served. Based on the research methods used and the results, implications for future research and practice in educational reform are discussed.  相似文献
