Measuring Effectiveness of a Principals' Desegregation Workshop.
Markus, Frank W.; Huys, George
The Department of Educational Administration and Supervision of Memphis State University offered a Desegregation Workshop for approximately 200 administrators during the 1971-72 school year. This workshop, with some modification, continued the Memphis City Schools' initial efforts of 1970-71. This study determined the improvement of the participants, as reflected by their perceptions in: awareness and skill in human relations, racial attitudes, and administrative knowledge and skills. It also sought to determine their success in achieving workshop and small group objectives. Three questionnaires were used (one open-ended, another using a Likert scale, and a repeat of the 1970-71 questionnaires to secure longitudinal data) to arrive at base line information regarding the purposes. The Likert scale is included in the appendix. Analyzing the responses to the questionnaires it may be concluded that the participants improved in human relations, racial attitudes, and administrative effectiveness, as well as achieving success in all goal areas.
