Penwell, Rebecca; Cronin-Jones, Linda; Hakverdi, Meral; Cline, Shannon; Johnson, Courtney. (2002). Teacher Perceptions Regarding the Status of Environmental Education in Latin American Elementary Schools. This research, commissioned by the U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Schools, was designed to determine the status of environmental education in private U.S. and international elementary schools throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. The study population consisted of all 50 dues-paying member schools in the Association of American Schools of Central America, Colombia-Caribbean and Mexico (also known as the Tri-Association). Members include 17 schools in Mexico, 8 schools in Colombia, four schools each in Costa Rica, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic, 3 schools in Jamaica, 2 schools each in El Salvador, Honduras, and Venezuela, and 1 school each in Nicaragua, Haiti, Ecuador, and Panama. Response rate was 72%, with 36 schools responding. Results of the survey indicated that even in the best situations throughout Central and Latin America, environmental education (EE) is being hindered by lack of available quality regional environmental education curricula, lack of access to teaching materials, and widespread teacher misconceptions about EE infusion. Findings of this study strongly support the need for quality regional EE curriculum development and ongoing teacher training in Latin American schools. Studies involving K-6 teachers in the United States yielded similar results. Teacher perceptions of environmental issues differed from those the community and students considered important, but these teacher perceptions were all compatible with the EE goals and objectives set forth by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP).

Perelman, Phyllis F. ([1982). Special Education in the Americas: Contrasts, Needs, and Possible Solutions. The author describes differences in the number and quality of special education programs available in Latin America and suggests directions for improved delivery of special education services. The relatively high level of services provided in Costa Rica are contrasted with the minimal services available in Honduras. The training-based model in which generic educational specialists provide inservice training to teachers is suggested to increase the number of trained personnel. Linkages between ministries of education and teacher training institutions are also encouraged. Latin American activities in special education of organizations such as the Council for Exceptional Children, the Partners of the Americas, and the Peace Corps are noted. (DB) ED223058
Perelman, Phyllis F.; Pineda, Maria Luisa. (15 Apr 1982). Introduction of the Data-Based Individualized Model of Education in Central America. The paper describes, in both English and Spanish, a data based model for providing preservice and inservice training to regular and special class teachers on procedures for teaching mainstreamed handicapped children. The model involves the following steps: (1) referral of a child by his classroom teacher for special education services; (2) student evaluation; (3) specification of an instructional objective; (4) development and implementation of teaching/learning procedures; and (5) evaluation of teaching/learning procedures and child's progress toward attainment of the specified instructional objective. The model, found to be successful in Vermont, has been used to provide technical assistance in several Central American countries, including Costa Rica, Honduras, and Guatemala. Rather than focusing on the referred student, the model, as used in Honduras, addresses group defined needs (such as better public relations in special education) as a model objective, the use of media to contact parents and others as a plan of action, and evaluation based on increased awareness and support of special education.

Perelman, Phyllis, F. (Jun 1978). Observations on Integration and Mainstreaming in Three Different Cultures. During l977-78, teacher training and available services for mainstreaming special education students were investigated in Latin America (Costa Rica and Honduras), Israel, and the West Bank. Comparisons were made with existing programs in Vermont, and workshop training and consultation were provided. Findings indicated prevalence of categorical special education and little, if any, mainstreaming or education in the least restrictive environment, as conceived under P.L. 94-l42 (Education for All Handicapped Children Act).

Reimers, Fernando M. (Aug 1991). Is Jomtien Irrelevant to Latin America? Adjusting Education While Adjusting the Economy. Development Discussion Paper No. 388-Es. This paper challenges the commonly held view that Latin America has solved its access problems to primary education. The consequences of this view would be that the policy recommendations of the World Conference on Education for All, held in Jomtien, Thailand, in 1990 would be less applicable to Latin America than to Africa or Asia. The first part of the paper documents how education in Latin America today is characterized by low levels of learning, severe inequities in opportunities to learn, and high repetition rates. The second section examines the changes in the provision of education, which resulted from the impact of adjustment on households, education finance, schools, and ministries of education. The last section of the paper proposes five ideas for an education reform agenda: (1) the need for more resources at the basic levels; (2) a renewed sense of purpose for education, focusing on equity and quality; (3) a recognition that quality is not a uni-dimensional concept; (4) information as a central resource guide and monitor change; and (5) institutionalization of mechanisms for strategic planning, policy continuity, and policy change. The paper draws on information collected from: a survey of education policymakers in Latin America; conversations with educators and policymakers in trips to Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, Peru, and Venezuela; and a survey of 64 rural teachers, 1,250 students and 640 mothers in Honduras as well as documents referenced in the text.

Reimers, Fernando; McGinn, Noel. (1997). Informed Dialogue: Using Research to Shape Education Policy around the World. This book is about how the process of deciding about education, or education policymaking, can be informed by research-based knowledge. Part 1 offers three chapters that attempt to clarify the central issues caught up in the problem of knowledge utilization--why there is so little utilization of research in educational policymaking, how research should be conducted, the ways in which policymaking has been conceptualized, and the actors involved in the policymaking process. Three chapters in part 2 lay out the major perspectives on utilization of research knowledge in education--policy dialogue as communication and persuasion, as negotiation, and as participation and organizational learning. The six chapters in part 3 present case studies of research utilization in educational policymaking as they occurred in Colombia, Egypt, El Salvador, Honduras, Namibia, and Paraguay. Part 4, the concluding chapter, lays the foundation for a heuristic model that identifies nine situations, or moments of action, for educational change. (Contains 167 references). (LMI) ED414636
Rey, Alberto. (1994). The Usage of "Usted" in Three Societies: Colombia, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Language Quarterly, v32 n1-2 p193-204 Sum-Fall 1994 Compares previous findings on the social correlates of the "Usted," "Tu," and "Vos" variation in three Latin American countries. All the countries have a non- solidarity function in the party (toward strangers) and the workplace (toward subordinates and superiors) domains. It is difficult to assess the effects of age and sex of the addressee on pronoun variation. (23 references) (CK) EJ505262
RHOADS, WILLIAM G. ; AND OTHERS. (MAY1963). Use of Radiophonic Teaching in Fundamental Education. A PILOT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED IN EL SALVADOR AND HONDURAS TO TEST THE FEASIBILITY OF MULTINATIONAL EVALUATION OF THE RADIOPHONIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IN LATIN AMERICA. RADIO SCHOOL PROGRAMS WERE EXAMINED IN TERMS OF THEIR EFFECT ON PARTICIPANT ACHIEVEMENT, SATISFACTION, AND APPLICATION OF ACQUIRED SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE. ATTITUDINAL, SOCIAL, AND CULTURAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBJECT STUDENTS AND THEIR SCHOOL GROUP LEADERS, MONITORS, AND ADMINISTRATORS, AS WELL AS ANY SPECIFIED LIMITS WITHIN WHICH THESE SCHOOLS MUST OPERATE WERE INVESTIGATED. INTERVIEW DATA WERE GATHERED FROM A SELECTED SAMPLE OF ADULT STUDENTS (PRESENT AND DROPOUT, 15 YEARS OF AGE OR OVER), AND REPRESENTATIVES AND MONITORS OF THE SCHOOLS. THE FINDINGS OF THE SUBJECT SURVEY WERE COVERED UNDER FOUR MAJOR TOPICS-- (1) STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT RELATIVE TO LITERACY, GENERAL ATTITUDINAL AND BEHAVIOR PATTERNS, AND OTHER INDIVIDUAL STUDENT CHARACTERISTICS, AND THE EFFECT OF SCHOOL AND CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT ON THESE CHARACTERISTICS, (2) STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN AREAS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL AND KNOWLEDGE APPLICATIONS, (3) STUDENT SATISFACTION WITH RADIOPHONIC EDUCATION, AND (4) GUIDELINES FOR FURTHER RESEARCH.

Rugh, Andrea. (2000). Starting Now: Strategies for Helping Girls Complete Primary. This report assesses the current situation of girls' participation in elementary education, suggesting approaches that may help increase girls' retention. It reviews research findings and conventional wisdom on constraints affecting girls' schooling and examines initiatives that have attempted to increase girls' retention. Chapter 1, "Introduction," describes why girls' retention is important and defines the scope and approach of the report. It also examines the issue of girls' retention internationally. Chapter 2, "Influencing Girls' Participation," examines influences generally believed to affect girls' participation, emphasizing those that are important after initial enrollment. Chapter 3, "Initiatives to Encourage Girls' Participation," describes initiatives that have been employed in various countries to increase girls' retention. Chapter 4, "Promising Strategies and Implementation Models," describes four basic strategies with potential for removing many of the constraints on girls' education and suggests two implementation models (one which outlines a process approach to addressing education problems and one which assumes a world where institutions are shaped according to market forces to achieve their objectives). Chapter 5 presents "Summary and Conclusions." Case studies from Egypt, Honduras, Mali, and Pakistan are appended. (Contains 236 bibliographic references.) (SM) ED462516
