The author looks at a major aim of education, for which there are no standardized achievement tests. She proposes a model for teachers to work on. (Editor)

Identifies four steps that students should employ in using objectives to study textual material and outlines the strategy intended to teach students these steps. (MH)

Needs-assessment instruments from commercial sources are helpful in generating ideas. Any instrument will, however, be more effective if it is specifically adapted for the particular school and community using the instrument. The counselors, principals, teachers, students, and parents all can provide helpful suggestions about meaningful items and…

Reports on a study investigating changes in the relative emphasis given to different stated science aims during the period 1932-1974. (SL)

Describes a workshop in which fine arts teachers identified and defined six levels of aesthetic responses, as the first step in specifying and assessing student aesthetic behaviors. (DC)

Addresses the question of whether education of the emotions is a coherent possibility. Argues that much confusion on the topic derives from the common myth of the separate and opposed faculties of feeling and reason, often reflected in misguided curriculum practice.
