Peer Nominations

In two independent studies, we aimed to examine the extent to which teacher and peer nominations of loneliness are associated with children’s and adolescents’ self-reported loneliness, respectively. Additionally, we examined whether loneliness nominations from teachers and peers were informative above and beyond peer status and social behaviors associated with loneliness. In Study 1 (N = 1594, Mage = 9.43 years), teacher nominations of loneliness showed a small to moderate correlation with children’s self-reported loneliness as assessed using the Loneliness and Social Dissatisfaction Questionnaire (LSDQ). The results of a hierarchical regression analysis showed that teacher nominations of loneliness predicted children’s self-reported loneliness above and beyond teacher nominations of peer status and social behaviors. In Study 2 (N = 350, Mage = 13.81 years), peer nominations of loneliness showed a small to moderate correlation with adolescents’ self-reported loneliness as assessed using the peer-related loneliness subscale of the Loneliness and Aloneness Scale for Children and Adolescents (LACA). The results of a hierarchical regression analysis showed that peer nominations of loneliness predicted adolescents’ self-reported loneliness above and beyond peer nominations of peer status and social behaviors. We conclude that loneliness nominations are valuable, but caution is needed when they are used exclusively to identify lonely children and adolescents.

Parent And Teacher Ratings

AbstractThis research examines the frequency and stability of internalizing symptoms in a sample of 325 5-year-olds. Parent and teacher ratings, teacher nominations, parent-child interaction, and child measures were obtained. Of the sample, 4% were nominated as depressed by teachers. With the use of cutoff scores on teacher ratings, an average of 17% of the children were rated as having moderate problems on the internalizing scale in November and April of kindergarten, and in February of first grade. Parent-teacher stability correlations ranged from .24 to .27, while teacher ratings from November and April correlated at .60. Instability in internalizing symptoms from kindergarten to first grade was related to a number of concurrent and previously assessed factors, most notably, attention problems, reliance on mother, and child intelligence. These factors combined to account for an additional 8% of the variance in first grade internalizing symptoms after controlling for internalizing symptoms in kindergarten.

Dependent Variables

The School Sentiment Index and Piers-Harris Self-Concept scale were dependent variables for between 142 and 172 grades 4 and 6 pupils (sample size varied with the test). Their classes were rated on three measures of program openness and architectural plan, and a subsample of 18 students was labelled as gifted on the basis of at least two of three criteria: teacher nominations, standardized reading scores two or more years above grade level, and outstanding school performance. The main results were that these children thought well or poorly of school and themselves in all kinds of class environments much to the same extent as other children. Nontraditional settings did not systematically ill-serve them. Second, much more precise discriminations were possible using classrooms rather than schools as the unit of analysis, even within grade levels.

Outstanding Teacher

During the summer of 1987, the first part of a National Science Foundation honors workshop for secondary school mathematics teachers was conducted at the Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg. The objective of the workshop was to introduce select· ed teachers to the concepts and techniques of mathematical modeling and to encourage and aid them in actually preparing modeling exercises for incorporation into their classroom teaching. Through a system of planned networking, their experiences are shared with colleagues in the region. The thirty-five participants from the southcentral Pennsylvania region were selected on the basis of outstanding teacher nominations by their school districts.
