Abstract:

The Emergency Immigrant Education Act of 1984 (EIEA) was passed by the 98th U.S. Congress to provide funds to states to "meet the costs of providing immigrant children supplementary educational services" (Emergency Immigrant Education Act of 1984, Title VI, Sec. 607). This study analyzes the culture, values, and political context in which the Emergency Immigrant Education Act of 1984 was developed, passed, and amended through its most recent reauthorization. EIEA is the only federal legislation that specifically targets new immigrant students. However, EIEA has been largely overlooked by education policy analysts, because new immigrant students are rarely considered as different from limited English proficient (LEP) students. The study employs historical document and content analysis, applying Kingdon's (2011) theoretical framework of agenda-setting and Manna's (2006) concept of borrowing strength to explain EIEA's path to the agenda. In addition, it applies McDonnell and Elmore's (1987) policy framework to EIEA to understand how policymakers sought to realize EIEA's goals, as well as that of Wirt, Mitchell, and Marshall (1988) to identify the cultural and political values revealed in the rhetoric of the legislation. In tracing EIEA's 30-year route, I describe how the nature of the legislation changed from a primarily capacity-building policy to more of an inducement. In addition, the study revealed a change in an egalitarian culture to one that emphasizes quality.

Abstract:

This study explores the effect of economic and military crises on federal policy growth in higher education from 1932 to 1963. By analyzing federal records, campus materials, newspapers and educational association journals, the papers demonstrates that economic crises led the federal government to institute decentralized state building efforts to resolve the emergency, while military crises resulted in more centralized growth. In addition, the paper also examines the effects of federal growth during the period on different institution types within higher education. The study explores how individual structures at each institutional type—such as missions, financial stability and history—influenced reactions to federal assistance. By examining institutional structures and their interaction with federal policy during the period, the paper provides a more complex analysis of the outcomes of federal growth for land-grant institutions, religious colleges and women’s colleges and universities that enriches the current historical understanding.

Abstract:

The thesis argues that the relations between culture and government are best viewed through an analysis of the programmatic and institutional contexts for the use of culture as an interface in the relations between citizenship and government. Discussion takes place through an analysis of the history of art programmes which, in seeking to target a 'general' population, have attempted to equip this population with various particular capacities. We aim to provide a history of rationalities of art administration. This will provide us with an approach through which we might understand some of the seemingly irreconcilable policy discourses which characterise contemporary discussion of government arts funding. Research for this thesis aims to make a contribution to historical research on arts institutions in Australia and provide a base from which to think about the role of government in culture in contemporary Australia. In order to reflect on the relations between government and culture the thesis discusses the key rationales for the conjunction of art, citizenship and government in post-World War Two (WWII) Australia to the present day. Thus, the thesis aims to contribute an overview of the discursive origins of the main contemporary rationales framing arts subvention in post-WWII Australia. The relations involved in the government of culture in late eighteenth-century France, nineteenth-century Britain, America in the 1930s and Britain during WWII are examined by way of arguing that the discursive influences on government cultural policy in Australia have been diverse. It is suggested in relation to present day Australian cultural policy that more effective terms of engagement with policy imperatives might be found in a history of the funding of culture which emphasises the plurality of relations between governmental programmes and the self-shaping activities of citizens. During this century there has been a shift in the political rationality which organises government in modern Western liberal democracies. The historical case studies which form section two of the thesis enable us to argue that, since WWII, cultural programmes have been increasingly deployed on the basis of a governmental rationality that can be described as advanced or neo-liberal. This is both in relation to the forms these programmes have taken and in relation to the character of the forms of conduct such programmes have sought to shape in the populations they act upon. Mechanisms characteristic of such neo-liberal forms of government are those associated with the welfare state and include cultural programmes. Analysis of governmental programmes using such conceptual tools allows us to interpret problems of modern social democratic government less in terms of oppositions between structure and agency and more in terms of the strategies and techniques of government which shape the activities of citizens. Thus, the thesis will approach the field of cultural management not as a field of monolithic decision making but as a domain in which there are a multiplicity of power effects, knowledges, and tactics, which react to, or are based upon, the management of the population through culture. The thesis consists of two sections. Section one serves primarily to establish a set of historical and theoretical co-ordinates on which the more detailed historical work of the thesis in section two will be based. We conclude by emphasising the necessity for the continuation of a mix of policy frameworks in the construction of the relations between art, government and citizenship which will encompass a focus on diverse and sometimes competing policy goals.

Kong, Yu-Chien. "Ability, education choice and life cycle earnings." Diss., University of Iowa, 2013. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/2548.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation consists of two chapters. In the first chapter, I explain changes in the life-cycle earnings profile for different birth cohorts. The second chapter assesses the quantitative importance of federal aid for college education in explaining college premium. In the first chapter, I document the life-cycle earnings profile for the 25-year- old college- and high school-educated white men in 1940, 1950, 1960 and 1970. I find that later cohorts have flatter average life-cycle earnings profile. Using a version of the Ben-Porath model, I propose an explanation based on the composition effect. In my model, all individuals have a high school diploma and are differentiated by their ability. They must decide whether to work or go to a four-year college. There is a threshold ability above which individuals choose to attend college and below which they work. All cohorts face the same ability distribution and an exogenous sequence of wage rate per unit of human capital that grows at a constant rate. A higher initial level of wage rate increases college attainment implying that the average ability is lower for both college- and high school-educated individuals. From the Ben- Porath model, lower ability individuals have less steep increment in their earnings. This implies that the average college (and high school) life-cycle earnings profile for the 1970 cohort will be flatter than that of the 1940 cohort. My model is able to quantitatively explain 67 and 35 percent of the flattening in the average life-cycle earnings profile for college and high school-educated individuals, respectively. Since the late 1970s, there has been a strong increase in the college premium. While most papers focus on skill-biased technical change, the second chapter explores the role of federal aid as a possible source of inequality. I build a model where all individuals have a high-school diploma but are heterogeneous with respect to their innate abilities and initial human capital. They decide whether to attend college to accumulate more human capital before working, or to start working right away. The production function for human capital in college requires two inputs: human capital and goods. In this context, two mechanisms are key for the behavior of the college premium. First, federal aid makes it easier to afford the goods input in the human capital technology. This induces college students to accumulate more human capital and consequently, they have higher earnings. Second, as more individuals attend college due to rising income, the composition of college graduates changes: more low- ability individuals attend college, implying a decrease in average college earnings. A calibrated version of the model accounts fully for the rise in the college premium. Federal aid alone accounts for about 70 percent of the rise.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the status of enrollment at selected HBCs and endeavors to determine possible sources of influence as perceived by college administrators. The selected sources of influence are (a) aid policies, (b) federal budget cuts, (c) cost of attendance, (d) financial status, (e) employment, and (f) Title IV funding 1980-86. A questionnaire was constructed and pretested to measure the above concepts. Aid policy is defined as the guidelines adopted by the federal government to determine the criteria on which financial assistance should be given to students, universities, and colleges. Federal budget cuts impact is defined as the extent to which budget cuts are perceived by the institution as influencing enroll ment, recruitment strategy, attrition rates, and student loans. Cost of attendance is defined as the extent to which the institution perceives increases in tuition as impacting positively or negatively on enrollment. Financial status is defined as the income level of the parent and/or student. Employment is defined as the extent to which students drop out for a quarter, semester, or more to work to supplement federal financial support. Title IV funding 1980-86 is defined as funds provided by the federal government to assist a student through college financially. Validity was obtained by an item-to-scale correlation in which items with Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients below .3 were dropped. The questionnaire was administered to 6 2 members of 35 UNCF colleges. The results show that HBC chief and financial aid administrators perceive: (a) federal financial aid policies are significantly related to student enrollment, and (b) their own budget cuts, increased cost of atten dance, student employment, and Title IV funding are not significantly related to enrollment. It would appear that the restrictive financial aid policies impact HBC enroll ment negatively and, hence, undermine the concept of equity in education for poor and minority students. It is recom mended that financial aid policies be reformulated to meet the needs of poor and minority students.

Full text

Abstract:

The focus of the study was to observe changes brought about by the implementation of Chapter 2 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act of 1981 in local jurisdictions of government when the disposition of federal funds were under local control. The study investigated the extent to which the six expressed intentions of Chapter 2, ECIA legislation were realized in 154 local education agencies in the state of Mississippi two years after implementation. Specifically, the six legislative concerns were to: * Reduce the amount of paperwork without reducing the quality of programs, * Equalize the distribution of federal funds without reducing the benefits to specific target populations, * Increase local discretion without diminishing prior program commitments to the original national priorities, * Increase the role of private education without raising the constitutional issue, * Reduce reporting and evaluation requirements without a commensurate loss of accountability, and * Reduce the constraints on SEAs in the planning of federally funded projects and programs without a loss of perceived quality in those programs. Data sources collected for analysis included: a mail survey, interviews with state and local school personnel, and supportive documents from both the state education agency and local school districts. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. From the study it was concluded that, while the goals of Chapter 2, ECIA legislation were admirable, they were replete with unintended consequences. Further, while many of the legislative objectives were met at the national level several of the objectives had differing effects in a state like Mississippi which exerted little SEA influence.

Abstract:

Access to education is a central part of federal higher education policy, and federal grant and loan programs are in place to make college degrees more attainable for students. However, there is still controversy about whether there are unintended consequences of implementing and maintaining these programs, and whether they are effectively achieving the goal of increased accessibility. In order to answer questions about whether three specific types of federal aid cause higher tuition rates and whether these programs increase graduation rates, four ordinary least squares regression models were estimated. They include changes in both in-state and out-of-state tuition sticker prices, graduation rates, as well as changes in three types of federal aid, and other variables indicative of the value of a degree for four-year public universities in Arizona, California, Georgia, and Florida for years 2001-2011. The regressions indicate a positive effect of Pell Grants on in-state and out-of-state tuition and fees, a positive effect of disbursed subsidized federal loans on the change in number of degrees awarded, and a positive effect of Pell Grants on graduation rates.

Abstract:

This thesis examines from an historical perspective the series of events between 1995 and 1999 in which the public school teachers’ union, the New South Wales Teachers federation, challenged the NSW and Australian government’s provision of funding to private schools. Such funding is known colloquially as state aid. The state aid struggle is conceived in this thesis as an industrial relations contest that went beyond issues simply of state aid. The state aid struggle was a centrepiece of the Teachers Federation’s broader challenge to government’s intensification of efforts to reduce the federation’s effectiveness in shaping the public school system’s priorities. This thesis contends that the decisive importance of the state aid struggle arose from the fundamental strategy used by governments to lower the cost of schooling over time. To achieve this they undertook the state aid strategy – cost reductions would flow from residualising public schools, de-unionising teachers and deregulating wages and conditions. The state aid strategy was implemented through those areas of policy and funding over which the Federation had negligible control or where the Federation’s membership was disunited. The Federation was undermined by governments using policy initiatives to fragment teacher unity. By the end of 1999, governments’ prosecution of the state aid strategy did not seem to have been diverted from the main thrust of its course by the federation’s struggle.

Abstract:

The study addresses the fiscal, governance, and educational impact of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act on elementary and secondary education in Oregon from its inception in 1983 through the 1985 fiscal year. A review of the national literature and research provided rationale for hypothesizing within state redistribution of federal aid to elementary and secondary school districts, increased federal aid to local education agencies, a continuation of decreased federal funding for state educational agency positions, and an expansion of federal aid to private schools. Interviews were conducted with Oregon Department of Education officials, members of the State Block Grant Advisory Committee, and local educators. State documents and plans were studied and analyzed. Oregon's 309 elementary and secondary school districts and seven state institution schools were classified into five recipient groups: (1) Population Center; (2) Suburban; (3) Metropolitan-Urban; (4) Rural; and (5) State Institutions. School districts gains and losses within groups and among groups were computed and reported. The study showed that the metropolitan school district of Portland and the state institution schools were the only two groups to lose federal aid in the transition from the antecedent categorical programs in 1982 to the first year block grant program in 1983 while the proportion of federal aid per-pupil allocated to suburban and population center school districts increased. The trend from 1982 to 1985 showed per-pupil distribution shaped federal aid into more of a mathematical equity distribution where the percent of federal aid has become more proportionate to the percent of pupils in school district groups. The study also found that the block grant set aside at the state level is a significant source of funds to support educational change and reform. The Oregon Department of Education has used block grant funds as a major revenue source to support the Oregon Action Plan for Excellence. The study concluded that the program had moved federal aid away from previously targeted needs and that federal aid, in the absence of strongly worded purposes and national interests, may evolve into an educational revenue sharing program. In times of economic difficulty and revenue shortfalls, the justification for continued educational block grants may be questioned.

Abstract:

Policies advocating the use of digital technologies in government schools are promoted by all public school education systems in Australia. This is reflected in the release of political media statements, policies, plans, budgets, digital networking rollouts, curriculum developments, and professional development activities. Resources are being directed towards such initiatives from within school education budgets and from departmental and 'whole of government' initiatives, at state, territory and federal levels. While there is considerable activity being supported by governments, outside of these activities academic publications specifically about these school level initiatives are limited. This research sets out to answer the question: 'what does public schooling mean in Australia in the 21st century given its past tradition of free, compulsory and secular schooling, and given the present policies that are urging the ubiquitous use of digital technologies?' The purpose of this research is to interpret, understand and explain the policies of the public schooling systems in Australia advocating the use of digital technologies. In doing so, this thesis aims to contribute to the development of a stock of Australian research specifically in the schooling sector, about the use of digital technologies in schools. Further, this thesis aims to stimulate and add to the conversations concerning these policies. It is argued that the use of digital technologies in schooling has the capacity to redefine what has previously been understood by 'public schooling'. This thesis is the outcome of an interpretative social inquiry where narrative theory and hegemony have provided its theoretical bases. This thesis has not set out to merge these theories nor has it attempted to reconcile the internal differences within them, but rather, to draw from them, and to use approaches that are pertinent to this study. While such an approach may be contentious and bring some inherent difficulties, the intention of the research has been to draw upon the abstract understandings afforded by these theories and apply them to concrete, particular, yet newly emerging educational activities. This is to provide interpretative and explanatory perspectives to the advocated use of digital technologies in Australian schools and systems, and, in Chapter Six, to forward a proposition for future action. There are several different ways in which this thesis could have been approached and finally could have been structured. Likewise, there are many avenues that require research but have been left without investigation due to limitations of size, space and time. This is not to negate their importance, but rather it is to recognise the limits of this project and to highlight the necessity for more research to be undertaken. Throughout the thesis distance education has been considered in conjunction with the policies directly impinging upon 'face to face' schooling. It is argued that with the advocated use of digital technologies as an inherent part of public schooling, there is emerging, a convergence in these two styles of schooling. Further it is argued that experiences from school level distance education practitioners have the potential to offer some insights that may be useful for those in 'face to face' schools using digital technologies. It is intended then, that the implications from this research will have the capacity to influence how we view centrally developed school education policies, curriculum leadership and management as well as what is intended to happen in the classroom. The thesis has been arranged into three parts. The first three chapters comprise Part One. Chapter One identifies the research space for the thesis. This is achieved by describing the fields of research from which this thesis draws, and introduces the theoretical bases used in the research space identified for this thesis. Chapter Two provides the theoretical bases for the thesis in more detail. In doing so, positivist approaches to the research are rejected. Chapter Three describes the research methods used to interpret,understand and explain the public schooling sectors' digital technologies policies. Together, these three chapters provide an outline of the nature of the research undertaking, and the theories and methods used. Part Two also has three chapters. These are structured around the temporal concept important to narrative theory; that of the past, the present and the future. Chapter Four looks to the past and provides an account of the history and three traditions, it is argued, impinge upon this research project. In particular, this chapter discusses what was intended by the phrase 'public education' in Australia during the 19th and 20th centuries. This chapter establishes the context for the interpretations of the policies that follow. Chapter Five seeks to understand and explain the policy narratives of the present, defined as the research period between 1997 and 2001. This period of time is thought of as sitting temporally between the past history and traditions outlined in Chapter Four and the possible scenarios for the future, proposed in Chapter Six. Part Three brings the thesis to its conclusion by reflecting on the central question identified for this thesis: 'what does public schooling mean in Australia in the 21st century, given its past tradition of free, compulsory and secular schooling, and given the present policies that are urging the ubiquitous use of digital technologies?'

Full text

Abstract:

At many traditional universities, the federal timelines for determining financial aid eligibility is based on releasing of the Free Application of Federal Student Aid each January, and the subsequent financial aid processing cycle July 1- June 30th. These federally established dates can conflict with traditional August class starts and creates a backlog and delayed processing of information that, in turn, hinders students from receiving timely information in order to make informed decisions based on financial aid awards. The purpose of this case study of a traditional university in Georgia was to apply net price theory and rational choice theory to evaluate the impact of timeline conflicts and how students make decisions about which institution to attend. Data consisted of internal documents, including the results of a prior survey of 425 freshmen, and 13 alumni focus group and survey participants. All data were inductively coded and analyzed using a constant comparative method to reveal key themes. Key findings indicated decision making by prospective students largely focused on accurate and timely communication and cost of attendance. One discrepant area was the decision maker's ability to differentiate between cost of attendance and net price which impacted some student decisions to enroll. The findings are consistent with both net price and rational choice theory. Recommendations to university leaders include encouraging early communication to prospective students and retraining efforts for financial aid staff in order to meet regulatory demands and timelines, increase student enrollment, and reduce anxieties for potential students and families associated with the financial aid process. These outcomes enhance social change by potentially opening doors to higher education for new generations of students.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper aims to explore how shifting federal, state, and individual priorities have transformed public higher education from a bastion of quality higher education for the greatest number of people to a more privatized state that only provides access and choice to those who can afford them. Decreased public support and state appropriations for public higher education schools have led many institutions to privatize themselves through increasing tuition prices and enrolling more out-of-state and international students who can afford to pay the full sticker price. At the same time, federal financial aid programs have become more and more geared towards assisting middle- and upper-income families, rather than focusing their efforts on removing financial barriers for low-income students. Combined, these two trends have manifested greater socioeconomic inequality for students with low-incomes; public higher education institutions are slowly turning their backs on those for whom federally funded public colleges and universities were built.

The present dissertation proposed the analysis of the student's aid program implementation in the Federal Institute of Amapa (IFAP), at Campus Macapa, and its contributions to the permanence and successful exit of professional education students. It aimed to describe the Student Aid Policy adopted in the institution; as well analyze, the perception of students and managers regarding the Student Aid Policy execution, and propose measures that enhance the performance of this policy. To achieve this purpose, we did a documentary research using the qualitative approach. The first step of the study consisted of theoretical reflections, through bibliographic review addressing the concept/definitions of essential terms that substantiate the goals of student's aid; to establish the context to the history of social rights from industrial revolution to present days, based also in current legislation. The next step was to gather information about the institution installation process; the student's aid program implementation and how the policy is being handled. In order to do that, we used as research instruments the documents available at the website, such as the Institutional Development Program (PDI) and public notice, the promotional material available to the students and budget sheets. For the third step, 20% of the students of technical education covered by the aid program responded a survey, which represented 39 students. The survey questionnaire consisted of open and closed-ended questions. Also, semi-structured interviews were used for data gathering, with the people responsible for the establishment of the aid policy in the IFAP. The results reveal that the profile of the students covered by the aid program consists mostly of black women; coming from families with low level of education; composed by 6 people that survive with an income per capita of up to half minimum wage and excluded from the government aid programs. Another fact observed was the contribution of the aid program for the students to continue their professional education, according to the results, although there are actions that aim to guarantee the stay and successful outcome of the students, the policy doesn't fully accomplish its goals, cause there is no section responsible for monitoring the students at the Dean. Aside from the lack of specific regulations, the lack of evaluation mechanisms and the small number of servants to carry out the program, which ends up in a simple cash transfer program.
A presente disserta??o se prop?s a analisar o processo de implementa??o do programa de assist?ncia estudantil do Instituto Federal do Amap? (IFAP) no Campus Macap? e suas contribui??es para a perman?ncia e a sa?da com ?xito dos estudantes na educa??o profissional. Buscou-se descrever a Pol?tica de Assist?ncia Estudantil ora adotada; bem como analisar, frente a esse modelo de refer?ncia, a percep??o dos estudantes e dos gestores quanto ? execu??o da Pol?tica de Assist?ncia Estudantil e assim propor medidas que possibilitem melhor desempenho na implementa??o dessa pol?tica na Institui??o. Para isso, utilizou-se a abordagem qualitativa realizando-se pesquisa documental. A primeira etapa do estudo constituiu-se inicialmente de reflex?es te?ricas, atrav?s de revis?o bibliogr?fica abordando os conceitos/defini??es de termos essenciais que fundamentam o objetivo-fim da assist?ncia estudantil; contextualizou ainda, o percurso da garantia dos direitos sociais desde a revolu??o industrial at? os dias atuais, embasada tamb?m nas legisla??es existentes. No segundo momento, foram levantadas informa??es acerca da implanta??o da Institui??o; da implementa??o do Programa de Assist?ncia Estudantil e como hoje esta pol?tica est? sendo executada, para tal objetivo foi necess?rio utilizar como instrumentos de pesquisa o PDI, editais, a coleta de materiais informativos dispon?veis na p?gina eletr?nica e dos materiais impressos de divulga??o, disponibilizados para os alunos e planilhas or?ament?ria. Para a terceira etapa, preferiu-se a aplica??o de question?rio a 20 % dos alunos do ensino t?cnico contemplados no PAE, correspondente a 39 alunos, o referido instrumento constou de perguntas abertas e fechadas. Ainda como coleta de dados foram realizadas entrevistas com perguntas semiestruturadas aos atores no processo de implanta??o e operacionaliza??o do PNAES no IFAP. Os resultados revelaram que o perfil dos discentes usu?rios da assist?ncia estudantil ? caracterizado em sua maioria de mulheres; pardas, oriundas de fam?lias com baixo grau de escolaridade; composta por at? 6 pessoas as quais sobrevivem com uma renda per capita familiar de at? meio sal?rio m?nimo e exclu?das de programas governamentais. Outro dado constatado diz respeito sobre a sua contribui??o para o a perman?ncia dos estudantes na educa??o profissional, onde a pesquisa revelou que embora ocorra as a??es com vista a garantir tal perman?ncia e a sa?da exitosa, a referida pol?tica n?o consegue efetivar seus objetivos, tendo em vista que n?o ocorre um acompanhamento real dos usu?rios dos servi?os, pois a inexist?ncia um setor respons?vel no ?mbito de Reitoria; a inexist?ncia de uma regulamenta??o pr?pria; a falta de mecanismos de avalia??o e o escasso n?mero de servidores para realizar os servi?os, acaba resumindo as a??es do PAE num processo de transfer?ncia de renda.

Abstract:

For the last two decades as an academic administrator in public colleges of applied arts and technology both in Ontario, Canada, and in the United Arab Emirates, I have observed that no other factor has challenged the leadership, administration, and staff of these organizations abilities to achieve their goals, and meet the needs of their stakeholders, more than the decisions of governments relating to the funding of higher education. There can be no question that without money, none of these institutions would exist, and while there have been years of plenty, much of the last twenty years in the Ontario college system, has been characterized, (and some would say traumatized) by scarce resources, and the lasting impact of the dramatic across-the-board cuts to the funding for higher education by the Provincial Government in the mid-1990's. Even in the oil rich UAE, I witnessed the results of the government's failure to keep pace with the dramatic growth in enrollments at the Higher Colleges of Technology. While the allocation to the colleges remained almost static, enrollment grew from 3,000 students on eight campus locations, to almost 14,000 students and eleven campuses over a six-year period. In order to balance the budgets in the early years of this decade, colleges were forced to undertake measures like combining programs, reducing program hours, freezing the salaries for teachers and administrators, increasing teachers' workloads, and reducing the funding for capital and instructional equipment. While money seems to be ultimately behind everything we seek to accomplish, it has been surprising to find that so few books and scholarly articles have been published dealing with funding issues in higher education. This was particularly the case with regards to ones with Canada, and the Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology (CAATs), as the context. While this collection of papers, has used Ontario and the CAA Ts as the focus for the exploration of a number of current funding and funding related issues, it is hoped that the practical nature of these inquiries will make them useful to a far broader audience of academics, administrators, and policy makers in the area of higher education. It is worth noting that two of the articles in this collection have recently been published; Globalisation, Internationalization, and the Recruitment of International Students in Higher Education, and in the Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education, (Volume 35, No 1) and The Post-secondary Education Choice and Excellence Act, 2000 and the Development of Private Universities and Private Post-secondary Degrees in Ontario in the OISE Higher Education Perspectives (Volume 1, Issue 2).

Abstract:

This study analyzed test scores of economically disadvantaged students who attended two elementary schools implementing different types of Title I models from 1999-2001. Test scores from the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS), the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) and the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT-9) were analyzed. One school implemented the targeted assistance model (less than 50% poverty), which focused resources on students were identified as failing or at risk of failing. The other a schoolwide model (95% poverty), which used resources to help all students in a school regardless of whether they ware failing, at risk of failing, or economically disadvantaged. The quantitative approach was used with a causal comparative design. A cohort of continuously enrolled students was identified for the TAAS (n=169 and 189) and the ITBS/SAT-9 (n=49 and 87). Descriptive statistics such as the frequency, mean, and standard deviation, were used to measure differences on the Texas Learning Index (TLI) for the TAAS, and Normal Curve Equivalent (NCE) on the ITBS/SAT-9. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to partially adjust for preexisting differences among the groups and because randomization was not possible. The independent variable was type of Title I model, targeted assistance or schoolwide. The dependent variable was the achievement measure, and the covariate was the initial achievement scores in third grade (pretest). The ANCOVA reports and descriptive statistics showed that economically disadvantaged students performed better in reading and math on TAAS and ITBS/SAT-9 at the targeted assistance school in 1999 and 2001, with mixed results in 2000. The academic performance of economically disadvantaged students at the targeted model was consistent all three school years. They scored slightly lower than the non-economically disadvantaged students, but higher than their peers at the schoolwide model. The students' third grade pretest score was the most significant predictor of future performance.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.

Aid is a big part of the world’s development co-operation effort and there are two types of aids; (1) Humanitarian Aid and (2) Development Aid. This study focuses on the most common development aid known as Official Development Aid (ODA). ODA promotes economic development and welfare of developing countries, and it is seen as a “gold standard” of foreign aid. This thesis uses a case on Achieving Education for All in Tuvalu Program (AEfATP) funded by the Australian government to evaluate the impacts of foreign aid in Tuvalu’s education sector. The evaluation of the impacts of foreign aid focuses on the studied program’s success and failure status, as well as local’s perspective regarding the program and foreign aid in general. The study uses a qualitative methodology through in-depth interviews to obtain data and clarifications. The researcher found out that positive impacts of the studied program outweighs the negative impacts. The results show that the donor was able to assist and bridge the gaps of Tuvalu’s education sector. The funded program was able to provide financial assistance, improve education quality, improve school standards, provide of human resources, and established a functional information system (TEMIS) for Tuvalu’s education sector. Moreover, the researcher has also uncovered several setbacks and mishaps that have hindered the success of the studied program. It includes: misuse of funds, conditions in the agreement, conflict with third party, unable to meet the requirement of the funders, poor governance, poor management, manipulated data, and recruiting issue. Overall, the quality of the program is very minimal but its contribution to Tuvalu’s education sector made an adequate difference in the manner of materialistic needs of the sector.
