A Cognitive Structural Approach to Adult Ego, Moral, and Conceptual Development Through Inservice Education.
Oja, Sharon N.
This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a Deliberate Psychological Education Curriculum to promote the ego, moral, and conceptual development of inservice teachers enrolled in a five-week workshop, followed by a supervised fall quarter practicum. Significant differences were found between experimental and control groups on all three dimensions of personal/psychological growth as measured by the Lovinger Sentence Completion Test, the Rest Defining Issues Test, and the Hunt Paragraph Method Test. Experimental teachers' professional/skill development evidenced significant increases in levels of communication and indirect teaching. Analysis of journals, course evaluations, and teacher designed miniunits corroborated these gains. (Author)
