| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Doing politically controversial research on education issues at the statewide level presents a host of human problems in addition to technical, scientific ones. Drawing on research experience in a highly charged political context, this paper suggests practical strategies for gaining access, developing legitimacy, and communicating information in order to influence policymakers. We emphasize the importance of forming a steering committee to represent major political interest groups. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | The formative-summative paradigm is useful in that it draws attention to the importance of process and outcome measures in evaluation. The paradigm is not helpful in practical evaluation planning, however, because it unnecessarily separates qualitative and quantitative methods, and bacause it does not differentiate among various types formative evaluation. The article presents a strategy for organizing the evaluation effort into three levels. Each level combines aspects of formative and summative evaluations and includes a variety of methods for addressing the evaluation questions. Resources and skills needed by evaluators at each level are recommended, and a plan for iplementing the strategy is suggested. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | For the past decade, researchers have documented the effects of textbooks on achievement in developing countries, but no research has explored the mechanisms that account for this contribution. This paper analyzes longitudinal data from a national sample of eighthgrade mathematics classrooms in Thailand and explores the effects of textbooks and other factors on student achievement gain. The results indicate that textbooks may affect achievement by substituting for additional postsecondary mathematics education of teachers and by delivering a more comprehensive curriculum. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Chapter 2 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act is a centerpiece of the Reagan Administration`s education policy. The enactment of Chapter 2 consolidated funding from 32 categorical programs into an educational block grant that is distributed to state educational agencies and from the states to local school districts. The funds may be used for any of the purposes supported by the antecedent program. Based on nationally representative data collected for a study of local operations under Chapter 2, this paper examines three topics related to the block grant: the distribution of Chapter 2 funds among school districts, the patterns of local uses of these funds, and possible explanations for the spending patterns for the first 3 years of the block grant (school years 1982-83, 1983-84, and 1984-85). |

This study is based on a survey of almost 3,000 small businesses regarding their consideration, adoption, and use of computers. Education and training requirements that business respondents emphasized were primarily reading, comprehension skills, and reasoning skills, rather than mathematics skills, formal computer training, or prior computer experience. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | Largely because of the drive to improve school productivity, evaluation has touched almost every aspect of education. This paper focuses on evaluation-related behavior of school principals. First, the role of principals as clients of professional evaluation is examined. In the second section, research that views school principals as evaluators in their own right is reported. In the last section, concepts drawn from the evaluation literature are used to explore new ways of studying the rationality that principals employ to make decisions. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This longitudinal study examines the determinants of higher education revenues per capita, lower education revenues per capita, and the ratio of the two over a 30-year period. Demographic variables (percentage of population in the appropriate age group, education of the adult population , etc.) are unimportant, as is personal income per capita. The most important variables are a historical one and two political variables. The historical variable, density of population in 1860, measures the propensity of states to develop private higher education before passage of the Morril Act. The fact that the two political variables (percentage of taxes raised at the state level and taxes as a percentage of income) are important implies that the dependent variables are capable of being manipulated by the political process. |

| Abstraksi Narasi | : | This paper explores variations in the employment of minority teachers in elementary and secondary public, Catholic, and private (nonCatholic) schools. Our data are drawn from a survey of public and nonpublic schools in the six counties surrounding San Fransisco Bay. The survey was conducted during 1981-82 by the Institute for Research on Educational Finance and Governance, Stanford University. We analyze several determinants of minority employment in public and private schools to explain variation among the three sectors. Subsequently, we present a more detailed analysis of the different employment experiences of black and Hispanic teachers within two of these sectors, public and Catholic schools. Based on these analyses, we conclude with a discussion of implications for public policy. |
