DESCRIPTORS- *VOCATIONAL EDUCATION, *HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES, *GENERAL EDUCATION, *PERSONNEL EVALUATION, PROGRAM EVALUATION, COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS, MALES, GRADES (SCHOLASTIC), EMPLOYMENT LEVEL, PILOT PROJECTS, INDIVIDUAL CHARACTERISTICS, THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO EXPLORE WAYS OF USING THE WORK ENVIRONMENT TO APPRAISE THE EFFECTS OF PREEMPLOYMENT EDUCATION BOTH GENERAL AND VOCATIONAL EDUCATION ON SUBSEQUENT JOB SUCCESS. DATA WERE COLLECTED FROM AUGUST 1964 TO MAY 1965, AND CAME FROM THREE PRIMARY SOURCES (1) TELEPHONE INTERVIEWS WITH 150 BOYS WHO GRADUATED FROM THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF HIGH SCHOOLS IN 1963 BUT HAD OBTAINED FULL-TIME WORK INSTEAD OF CONTINUING THEIR FORMAL EDUCATION, (2) THEIR OFFICIAL SCHOOL RECORDS (CLASS RANK, GRADES IN ENGLISH AND VOCATIONALLY - ORIENTED SUBJECTS, ATTENDANCE RECORDS, AND SCORES IN INTELLIGENCE AND THE DIFFERENTIAL APTITUDE TEST), AND (3) THE EMPLOYERS OF THE 150 BOYS WHO WERE INTERVIEWED BY THE INVESTIGATOR AT 123 PLACES OF EMPLOYMENT. EACH EMPLOYER DEFINED THE JOB AS BEING ON ONE OF FOUR LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY, AND INDICATED THE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE OF THREE CLUSTERS OF CHARACTERISTICS (1) COMMUNICATION COMPETENCY (VALUED MOST IN 42 CASES), (2) PERSONAL ADEQUACY (VALUED MOST IN 91 CASES), AND (3) SKILLS UNIQUE TO THE JOB (VALUED MOST IN 17 CASES). BOYS FROM ALL THREE SCHOOLS WERE EQUALLY SUCCESSFUL IN OBTAINING JOBS RELATED TO THEIR TRAINING. ALTHOUGH NO SIGNIFICANT RELATIONSHIP EXISTED BETWEEN CLASS RANK IN SCHOOL AND RANK ON THE JOE, THE POOREST FOURTH OF GRADUATES HAD SIGNIFICANTLY POORER EVALUATIONS ON EVERY MEASURE OF JOB SUCCESS.

RE: Contract No. 81-22-30 Sir: Reported herein are the results ofa study initiated and conducted by Howard E. Bergstrom, Project Codtdinatorwith the Educational Research and Development Council. Data were collected from August 1964 through May 1965, and the analysis and follow-up studywere completed under contract with OMAT since June 1, 1965. The purpose of the study has been to exploreways of using the work environment to appraise the effects of pre-employment education--1,,, both general and vocational education--on subsequentsuccess of perforr: mance in the world of work. The field of the study would more accurately be personnel psychology than vocational education, although theseare interwoven and interdependent fields. The careful reader of Dr. Bergstromss report will find thatsome fundamental challenges have been made tocertain widely-accepted beliefs. These challenges would require large-scale research andprogram develop- ment to determine their worth. What has been established in the present study, we believe, is that the challengesare shown to have grounds for presentation. The more tangible outcome of the study is the development ofsome techniques for evaluatingyoung workers which might reflect on the school curriculum. As is approOriate in a pilot study, these methods: are not finished instruments but may be useful to other researchers in developing refined techniques in specific occupational fields. The colored-page section of this report presentsan overview in non- technical terms, followed by the detailed technicalreport on white pages. We present this study in the hope that itmay make a contribution,toward current thinking and toward additional studies with Similarobjectiy.qs. Sincerely yours, Van D. Mueller Executive Secretary ACKNOWLEDGMENTS' Research in human affairs is always a joint effort, even when one individual actually carries out a project. The following organizations and individuals must be specifically mentioned in connection with the study reported in this volume, at the risk of omitting some whose contributions were'also very valuable. Administrators and counselors in more than 15 schools and school districts provided information, with most data obtained from Roosevelt and Vocational senior high schools in'the Minnea- polis Public Schools, and from the Robbinsdale Senior High SchOol, Robbinsdale, Minnesota... Counselors Michael Davies, Donald Hanson, and Douglas Haneon conducted the telephone interviews with the graduates. One hundred and sixty-one employed former students who graduated from the named high schools in 1963 were interviewed; the cooperation of these young men is greatly appreciated. Executive and superliisory personnel in .123 places of em- ployment in Minneapolis and surrounding areaa_granted interviews and provided information. Several members of the Graduate School faculty of the ,University of,Minnesota, ProfesSors Gordon M. A: Mork ,and Cyril J. Hoyt in. particular, have been consulted on the design of the study and the writing of the report herein. The Educational Research and Development Council, through its Board of Directors, Commissions, and staff, has been the primary sponsor.of the research..Executive Secretary Van D.. Mueller and. Associate Exetutive Secretary Donald E.' Davis have been especially helpfUl, and Linda Kabrick typed. the entire report. The Office of Manpower, AutomatiOn, and Training, U.S. Department of Labor, has supported the study since June 1, 1965. The writer could'nothave completed the project without the cooperation of his wife Jane C. Bergstrom, to whom this volume is gratefully'dediCated. Howard E. Bergstrom Minneapoliso.Minnesota April, 1966 iv OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT The Overview of the Project, presented on the coloredpages preceding the study proper, has been prepared to provide the reader with a setting from which to view the problem and procedure of the study. Some of the insights and findings gained by the investigator are included as they seemed to bear on comprehension of the problem. An attempt has been made.to write this section in non-technical terms.

While the findings appear to have validity related to high school graduateswho work after leaving grade 12 in the Minneapolisarea, it is not known that the conclusions would apply to other metropolitanareas onto graduates of post-high school educational programs. Somewhat different findings would be expected especially ifa similar study were to be conducted on graduates of post-high schoolprograms involving rigorous technical training and selected students. Therefore, the reader is invited to 'considerthe approach of the study--to the development ofa generalizable technique for defining the essential elementsof job perforMance, to the evalua- tion of individualson these essentials, and to the relationship of jobs to school background--asbeing the aspect which may have value in acquiring insights and inplanning for

Lamascus A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School, Marquette University, In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy Milwaukee, Wisconsin December 2010 ABSTRACT LOVE’S LACK: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EROS AND POVERTY IN PLATO’S SYMPOSIUM Lorelle D. Lamascus Marquette University, 2010 This dissertation responds to a long-standing debate among scholars regarding the nature of Platonic Eros and its relation to lack. The more prominent account of Platonic Eros presents the lack of Eros as a deficiency or need experienced by the lover with respect to the object needed, lacked, or desired, so that the nature of Eros is construed as self-interested or acquisitive, subsisting only so long as the lover lacks the beloved object. This dissertation argues that such an interpretation neglects the different senses of lack present in the Symposium and presents an alternative interpretation of Eros based on the Symposium ’s presentation of Eros as the child of Poverty and Resource. Chapter one examines the origin and development of the position that Platonic Eros is acquisitive or egocentric and the influence this has had on subsequent interpretations of Plato’s thought.

Rationale Definition: The following policy refers to Relationships and Growing Up Education at Woodlands Academy. We define Relationships and Growing Up Education as learning about caring friendships, families and people who care for me, respectful relationships, online relationships, being safe, growing up and puberty. Sex Education is also covered in Relationships and Growing Up Education and well as aspects being covered in the National Science Curriculum (see appendix 1). Sex education is defined in this policy as preparing boys and girls for the changes that adolescence brings and the scientific process of how a baby is conceived and born. Relationships and Growing Up Education provides an excellent forum to provide pupils with life-skills that will enable them to make informed decisions and protect themselves against harmful and exploitative situations. Relationships and Growing Up Education is therefore a tool to safeguard children. Relationships and Growing Up Education contributes to the foundation of PSHE and Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) development and offers a valuable vehicle for promoting equality between individuals and groups. It involves an exploration of human and social diversity, and a fostering of self- worth whilst recognising, accepting and respecting differences.

Examples of Institutions and Environmental Management Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketch Summary Institutions can be thought of as overcoming resource problems and regular patterns of action produced because of support from people in a society, even strangers, although this can be shaped without planning in many cases. This definition can include ritual actions of interaction as well as formal institutional actions from bureaucracies such as governments and schools. The key feature is that it is supposed to “work” for all the people even if they do not know one another. This has been studied as interaction rituals, conformity and obedience, although another line of research shows how minorities can overcome a majority-institutionalized pattern of action. Formal institutions work through rule-management but there are interesting trickle-down effects from this,UNESCO not always good ones. A recent– EOLSSidea is that all modern institutions are becoming McDonaldized through an overemphasis, often encouraged by either governments or SAMPLEthrough profit-making, on having CHAPTERS ultra-efficient, calculable, predictable, and controlled service provision.
