TL;DR: Tutoring programs have so far been conceived, planned, and supervised by teachers, but there is no reason why students could not shoulder much of this responsibility as mentioned in this paper, and the practice of students helping each other is not new.
Abstract: During the last several years, a few dozen schools in the United States have experimented with students teaching each other. The purpose seems to be to help the tutor, the tutee, or both. Compared to the tutee, the tutor may or may not be older, brighter, or more maladjusted; of a different socioeconomic class; or attend the same school. The tutor may drag the tutee over teacher-prescribed remedial materials or he may teach a lesson he himself has planned for his pupil; he may serve as drillmaster, friend, consultant, guide, big brother, or teacher. Participants in tutoring programs may be volunteers or they may be selected by authorities; individual, classes, or special clubs set up for the purpose may be involved. Tutoring programs have so far been conceived, planned, and supervised by teachers, but there is no reason why students could not shoulder much of this responsibility. The practice of students helping each other is not new. Friends have always done some homework together-on their own time, outside of school. The "little red school house," in which six to twenty students of all ages studied in one room presided over by a single teacher, relied heavily on students learning from each other-if only by eavesdropping on each other's recitations. Under the Lancastrian Monitorial System of the 1820s, the teacher instructed a group of older students who would in turn drill younger ones on the lesson. Under the project method, teachers may assign tasks to small groups of children partly in the expectation that they will learn from each other.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make several valuable suggestions for promoting student participation in activities outside the classrooms of the large high school, assuming that extracurricular activities "en hance the overall educational experiences of the individual student," and assuming that high schools cannot be made small again.

TL;DR: This paper found that student teachers generally improve their perceptions of self during student teaching, and five factors intrinsic to the student teaching experience were found to be simply or uniquely related to the self-concept-change criterion.
Abstract: This study was designed to determine the direction and magnitude of changes in self-perception by student teachers during a 1-semester experience in public school classrooms, and the relationships which exist between selected factors and a self-concept-change criterion. Ninety-four student teachers were administered the Fiedler Interpersonal Perception Scale at the beginning and at the completion of student teaching. Student teachers were found to generally improve their perceptions of self during student teaching, and five factors intrinsic to the student teaching experience were found to be simply or uniquely related to the self-concept-change criterion.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the nature of educational climates and environments, as well as the relationship of various environments to student achievement, attitudes, and behaviors, and suggested that the adjustment and success of an individual student may well be a function of the type of climate of the school he attends, and the extent to which the school climate is supportive of his individual needs.
Abstract: The current research on the study of school climates is described, and implications of this research for counselor role are indicated. This research has examined the nature of educational climates and environments, as well as the relationship of various environments to student achievement, attitudes, and behaviors. The research provides information about the nature of school environments as they are affected by staB characteristics and behaviors and student peer group characteristics. This research indicates that schools do have quite different climates which are supportive of diverse types of student and staff behavior. It appears that the adjustment and success of an individual student may well be a function of ( a ) the type of climate of the school he attends, and (b) the extent to which the school climate is supportive of his individual needs. After an extensive review of nine methodologies for studying school climate, possible applications of these research findings by the counselor are described.

TL;DR: The technique of employing young persons who have had experience in the use of drugs as discussion leaders with high school students is a viable one as mentioned in this paper, and the young leaders demonstrated that they were capable of controlling a group and of creating an atmosphere conducive to the raising of questions which might not have been asked in a structured classroom setting.

TL;DR: Dye et al. as mentioned in this paper analyzed the significance of the following variables; (1) sex; (2) class level; (3) type of housing; and (4) academic performance; a five-part questionnaire was designed to measure student utilization and awareness of available sources of help and to determine why students did not use existing counseling services.
Abstract: DOCUMENT RESUME CG 005 391 Dye, H. Allen; Akers, Stephen J. An Analysis of Student Academic and Personal Concerns and Awareness of Counseling Services. Purdue Univ., Lafayette, Ind. [69] 22p EDRS Price MF-$0.25 HC-$1.20 *College Students, *Student Needs, *Student Personnel Programs, *Student Personnel Services, *Student Problems Three main questions are considered: (1) what concerns and worries do students feel? (2) to what extent do they think their personal problems warrant professional assistance? and (3) where would they turn for help if it were available? The Mooney Problem Check List, 1950 revision, form C, was used with 1114 Purdue undergraduate, single, full-time students. The data was analyzed to determine the significance of the following variables; (1) sex; (2) class level; (3) type of housing; and (4) academic performance. A five-part questionnaire, developed partly from the above data, was designed to measure student utilization and awareness of available sources of help and to determine why students did not use existing Purdue counseling services. Conclusions were discussed and implications for farther research are suggested. (TL) U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH.

An Analysis of Student Academic and Personal, Concerns and Awareness of Counseling Services H. Allan Dye Assistant Professor Counseling and Personnel Services Purdue University Stephen J. Akers Acting Assistant Professor Industrial Management Purdue University During the current decade much concern has been expressed about the problems of students in American colleges and universities. The range of personal problems and concerns experienced by college students is great; however, authorities indicate that certain problems seem to appear more frequently in the college population than in other segments of society or at other points in the life cycle (King 1964). Although there is reliable research concerning the magnitude of emotional disturbances in college students, additional investigations are needed. There are the many opinions of administrators, counselors, and psychiatrists who work continually with students. In addition to these opinions, studies have been conducted which point out the existence and nature of emotional and other personal problems. Yet, more systematic and organized This study is baked on the doctoral thesis of the junior author done under the the supervision of the senior author.
