TITLE: Research and Support Strategies For Women's Higher
Education.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1975
NOTE: 5 p.
ABSTRACT: Inadequate support is presently offered for the
study of certain important questions which have serious
implications for educational policies affecting women.
Priority should be given to the support of those areas of
research and program development and evaluation that have
the most critical implications for both the higher
education
of women and women's status in institutions of higher
education. Support should include: (1) research on
coeducational and sex education experiences, outcomes of
affirmative action, career patterns of women, living
arrangements, intellectual development, women's
psychological autonomy, social policies regarding families;
(2) development and evaluation of women's studies, women's
centers, counseling services, efforts to encourage women to
enter other than traditional majors and/or career fields,
"coping training," sex distributions, the means to raise
the
level of women's qualitative skills, classroom sex ratios;
recruitment of women to the field of educational
evaluation,
statistics as a more integral part of women's education,
efforts to attract women faculty; and (3) strategies to
improve program development, information storage, and to
encourage new hypotheses pertinent to woman's education and
development. (Author/KE)
