eet Be THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdoy, November 22, 1966 QOA Ottawa's Separate Schools Help Research Education Techniques ont MARILYN ARGUE 'AWA (CP)--A_ research centre is helping adapt space- age educational techniques for pupils in Ottawa's separate school system. Pog! up MB co-opera "seaport "a faculty chology an education at Mor Univers of Ottawa, the centre will eval wate existing techniques and de, velop new ones. It will also help graduate students select and carry out research projects, and give in- service training to teachers on the staff of the Roman Catholic | a schools. Ottawa's separate schools have 30,000 children in Grades 1 to 10, more than half the school-age population of the eapital. They are divided al- most equally between English and French. Beginning this September, the centre is co-ordinating research done by the 450 education and psychology students and the dozen or so separate school guidance counsellors. Also par- ticipating are experts on the university staff who will give the in-service courses to teach- ers. SET UP TWO SECTIONS The program is directed by two committees, one for the French - speaking schools and one for English. They report to a joint committee directly re- sponsible to the school board and university. Project director is Dr. Lionel Desjariais, 46, acting head of the university psychology and education faculty and a former Employers Cannot Give Advancement To Fault - Finders By ROBERTA ROESCH When you keep pointing out the faults of others on the job, you obviously aren't going to have many friends at work. "And you also limit your own chances for promotions," added an employer when he and sev- eral other bosses were telling me the problems they have with fault-finders. "It's the little things these fault-finders do that add up to big irritations," a second em- ployer said, "But these irrita- tions grow to such proportions that you can't put the people who are responsible in super- visory capacities, regardless of how much they have earned a promotion through experience and hard work. "There's one woman in my employ," he said, '"'who should be a supervisor. But I can't give her the chance because my other employees bristle at each word she says. BELITTLES OTHERS "She has a good e:lucation, plus extra specialized training. But she makes it her business every day to Deilttie peopie who are not as well qualified. Com- pletely unaware of the havoc she creates, she makes people fee] so inadequate, they're al- ways on the defensive." "In our place, we have an artist who could be an art di- rector," a third employer said. "But there's something almost psychotic about the way she watches the door to see who arrives in the morning five or 10 minutes late so she can have the sarcastic pleasure of saying 'Good afternoon.' "Her habitual digs naa this have made her so disliked that all the people she works with avoid her as much as possible. I think if she ever directed their work they would all walk out on their jobs. "I'm sure they would," a fourth man said, 'because about a year ago I tried out a very competent woman in a supervisory job --, a sum- mer vacation. My plan had been te promote her on a permanent basis if she worked eut satisfactorily during that trial period, teacher. and schoo) inspector. A slim, bespectacled man with grey hair and brown eyes, he was born in Rhode Island of Franco-American parents who sent him to high school in Que- bec "because I was a bad boy." He says he knows of no sim- ilar centre in Canada, though several are operating in the United States. 'I had some lit- erature from them to base my decisions on." With the impact of technology on education, research is needed to find out which meth- ofe are really effective. "We want to adopt changes in a critical way, not just accept any fad that comes along." MUST FILL LEISURE Research can also develop curricula to help children cope with the problems of a new age. "Soon we're going to have a civilization of leisure. Educa- tion has to help people. learn to use their spare time.' Because the system has both French and English schools, investigators can study any problems which develop in an English child's maternal lan- guage when he is sent to a French school. So far, results seem to show no difficulties until Grade 4, when English proficiency begins to drop. The school guidance counsel- lors plan to assess how accept- ance or rejection by classmates affects a child's achievement. They will try to reintegrate re- jected children, and see whether the change in social status affects marks. Dr. Desjarlais hopes to see the centre expand into other fields such as physical educa- tion and nursing. One of his aims is to interest the class- room 'teacher in the project.
