- Summary:
-
A voluntary, one-way transfer program of 59 white students from one elementary school to another for the purpose of developing an integrated education program is described. Ways of measuring the effects of the program include interviews with the mothers both parents, and with the teachers at both schools, and questionnaires administered to students and teachers at both schools. Results indicate: (1) Parents as a whole were pleased with the program; (2) The children's enthusiasm for school increased; (3) The parents felt that the program could be strengthened by having buses available more often to take parents and children to and from the school; (4) Attendance rate increased significantly; (5) Teachers felt that the transferred students were a positive influence on the school; (6) One school preferred curious students, whereas the other preferred self-reliant ones; and (7) Students at one school perceive school to be more difficult than those at the other school. The findings of the study are generally positive. (CK)
