The Status of Women and Minorities in Education: A Social Indicator Feasibility Study.
Gilmartin, Kevin J.
The purpose of this report is to determine the feasibility of and need for a series of social indicator reports on the status of women and disadvantaged minorities in education, as students, teachers, and administrators. Further, it addresses questions concerning the form, issues to be covered, and data that should be used if such reports are created. The first section presents overviews of the past and present status of women and minorities in education. The overviews are followed by a discussion of various concepts of equality of educational opportunity and their implications for developing and presenting educational indicators in a social indicator report. The section introducing the conceptual frameworks to be used divides the subject matter into eight content areas (aspiration, enrollment, retention, resources, achievement, subject matter, teachers, and administrators), each with a set of related issues (research questions) and a focused literature review. The study discusses the data sources available and those that should be created. It ends with the recommendation that three reports on the status of minorities and two on the status of women be produced. (Author/IRT)
