A Follow-Up of Drake University College of Education Graduates (1965-1971)
No full text111 leaves. Advisor: (none)The problem. This study was to collect data from recent graduates in an attempt to determine how well their programs prepared them for their
chosen vocation, and to provide input to the College of Education Departments for their consideration in program improvement.
Procedure. A mail questionnaire was developed to answer the following questions:
1. Where are the graduates now working?
2. Have they earned any advanced degrees? (If so, where?)
3. What vertical or horizontal professional changes have they made?
4. What are their evaluations of the program(s) from which they graduated?
The questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of 984 Bachelor's degree graduates and to all 917 graduates of advanced degree programs, using a procedure of an initial mailing to the sample and two subsequent follow-up mailing three weeks apart to non-respondents. The returns were tabulated for each of the four program areas: Teacher Education, Curriculum and Instruction, Counselor Education, and Educational Administration.
Findings. There was an average return of 74 percent of the questionnaires mailed. The lowest percent was in Teacher Education; the highest
return was by Educational Specialists in Administration graduates. The evaluation items were rating of the College by rating preparation in defined program performance skills. The responses are broken into two-year graduation periods and presented in table form by percentages
of positive responses. General conclusions are that the graduates: (1) liked their program of study, (2) thought it was effective, (3) would return to Drake for more coursework, (4) are employed consistent to their degree objectives, (5) are employed by local school districts, and (6) less than half have undertaken additional course work or earned advanced degrees
A Follow-Up Study of Drake University College of Education Graduates in Counseling and Personnel Services 1973-1978
No full text136 leaves. Advisor: Dr. George LairThe problem. It is important that institutions of
higher education identify program objectives and assess the results of their efforts to train students in these objectives. This is particularly true for institutions offering professional training. Institutions need knowledge about the graduates' evaluations of their programs to assist in decision making about program development and effectiveness.
This study was to collect data from recent graduates of the Counseling and Personnel Services programs in an attempt to determine how well their programs prepared them for their chosen vocations, and to provide input to the College of Education for their consideration in program development and evaluation.
Procedure. University records were used to locate
the names and addresses of the August 1973 through August 1978 graduates of Drake University's College of Educationn Department of Counseling and Personnel Services. Survey questionnaires requesting demographic, educational, and employment data, and containing educational goal and instructional objective statements reflecting the philosophy of the Department were adopted. Using a procedure of an initial mailing and two subsequent follow-up mailings, a return of 72 percent of the possible number of 180 was obtained.
The data obtained indicated the percentage of positive response by objectives considered appropriate or desirable by the faculty. The data was divided into subgroups based on program level and emphasis. It was then possible to test the hypothesis that no difference existed between
or among the various groups, using the two percentage figures.
Data from the related parent studies completed by
Means in 1973 and Prine in 1975 were used to test the hypothesis that no difference in the percentages of the responses occurred among these three studies.
Findings. The graduates' evaluations of their program objectives roughly paralleled the findings of the earlier two studies. While the program objectives were rated less positively in training effectiveness, a higher percentage were employed consistent with their individual degree objective(s) and as counselors than previously reported.
Conclusion. The major strengths of the program were the flexibility in selecting elective courses and the attitude of the faculty toward students. The respondents expressed the need for more varied experiences and increased supervision by experienced counselors during the practicum and internship segments of their programs

Deep boundary current disintegration in Drake Passage
No full textThe fate of a deep boundary current that originates in the Southeast Pacific and flows southward along the continental slope of South America is elucidated. The current transports poorly ventilated water of low salinity (a type of Pacific Deep Water; PDW), into Drake Passage. East of Drake Passage, the boundary current breaks into fresh anticyclonic eddies, nine examples of which were observed in mooring data from December 2009 to March 2012. The observed eddies appear to originate mainly from a topographic separation point close to 60°W, have typical diameters of 20–60 km and accompanying Rossby numbers of 0.1–0.3. These features are likely to be responsible for transporting PDW meridionally across the ACC, explaining the near-homogenization of Circumpolar Deep Water properties downstream of Drake Passage. This mechanism of boundary current breakdown may constitute an important process in the Southern Ocean overturning circulation
