| Summary: | The effects of a counselor led developmental guidance unit on the expressed behavior, school attitudes, and level of information awareness of ninth graders in a large comprehensive high school in South Florida were examined. The study involved 96 students (53 males and 43 females; 63 Blacks, 29 Whites, and 4 Hispanics) from eight ninth grade English classes representing two academic tracks. Teacher ratings of student attitude toward school served as the criterion for levels of risk (target students--those who teachers rated among the six lowest in each class regarding attitude; and top students--those who teachers rated among the six highest in attitude in each class). The interactions between the treatment and level of risk (target and top), academic track (regular and skills) and sex were also considered. All effects were examined from both students' and teachers' perceptions. Results showed that the treatment manifested an overall multivariate statistical significance as reported by students (p < .01) and teachers (p < .001), and that no interactions were significant. Further analysis revealed that although the treatment's effect on each dependent measure (Behavior, Attitude and Information) differed between student and teacher reports, the measure of Information was most consistently impacted by the treatment. | |
