( Photo by Joanne Uomput.rs w: HuronPerth School Boar professional- activity day The SePtember 23 profes- sional activity day for Huron and Perth separate school teachers entitled, "Com. paters • in the Classroom", will be held at St. Michael's School, Stratford. Teachers will be able to select from a number of workshops that will provide both a "hands on" session with a micro -computer, as well as a more theoretical session. The system -wide profes- sional development day, devoted entirely to the im- plementation of micro- computer courseware into the classroom, follows very closely on a number of other activities related to com- puters in education. Over the Rural teenagers often fail to set sights Rural teenagers don't aim as high as their city counter- parts when it cothes to education or jobs, says a pro- fessor of extension education at the University of Guelph. A survey of 750 high school students, conducted in Fergus, Ontario, revealed that those aged 15 and 16 seemed to have lower aspirations than any • other age group, says Professor Douglas Pletsch. In general, aspirations were higher for female students and students whose parents had high aspiration occupations. The terms high and low aspirations are based on a scale developed by American sociologist Ar- chibald Haller of Michigan State University in the 1960s. ssentially, the distinction is between white collar and blue collar positions, says Prof. Pletsch. The ages of 15 and 16 seem- ed to be critical for rural yoL.h - those from farms and those living in town - ac- cording to the study. Most in this group have low aspira- tions because they are • frustrated and don't know where they're going, Prof. Pletsch speculates. Before 15 and after 16, their goals appear more clearly defined. This may be because of the emotional tur- moil of gaining in- dependence, getting their driver's license and giving priority to activities that are more fun than scholastics, he says. Another possibility is that their aspirations may have been influenced by the poor economic outlook when the study was conducted. While parents' occupa- tions and education in- fluence a child, schooling and extra-cu.ricular ac- tivities are also important in shaping goals. scnooi witn unproven capabilities and less precise goals are often put into the four-year stream, says Prof. Pletsch, resulting in subsequent lower aspira- tions than those in the five- year program. Children growing up in large rural families appear. to benefit most from organiz- ed extra -curricular ac- tivities, but are often prevented by money and time. "The outside exposure gained through community activities is important in leadership development." explains Prof. Pletsch. "The young person learns to feel at ease with other -people - a characteristic which is im- portant in further education or in aspiring to a higher oc- cupational level." While church activities and community sports are positive experiences, many rural youth spend their spare time "cruising" up and down streets in cars. "The link between 'cruis- ing' and low aspirations is a vicious circle," says Prot. Pletsch. "It's hard to say which comes first." Prof. Pletsch says urban children often have negative attitudes about rural children and their capabilities. These attitudes are out-of-date, he says, because opportunities for development and education rc, aa; FASHIONSt- otold FOR • WOMEN Introducing The Daks & Chapel Hill Range Imagine yourself entering the new season in the excitement of classic co-ordinates.

From these sources, the best programs currently available were selected and were made available to in- dividual schools this September. In addition, a number of new programs were developed by board personnel. . During the fall of 1981 and the Winter of 1982, approx- imately 20 percent of the teaching staff participated in a board -sponsored in- troductory course to com- puters, devoted to the im- high skills are equally available and the skills needed to operate a modern commer- cial farm are comparable to those needed to operate a small business in town. He admits that he is con- cerned about the aspiration scale. "Because a rural per- son's aspirations are somewhat lower than his ur- ban counterpart's, he's not any less of an individual or contributor to society," says Prof. Pletsch. Prof. Pletsch feels there is definitely ,a need for more counselling for 15 and 16 - year -old students in rural high schools, and more meaningful community ac- tivities for students with low aspirations. • • • • • • ' • • tlemeptatiop of micros into he classroom. During the winter of 1983- 84, a large number of teachers enrolled in the TVO Computer Academy,. This program was an introduc- tory program delivered by way of television. As well, many teachers have taken in-depth Ministry sponsored computer educa- tion courses this summer. Others have enrolled for Ministry -sponsored courses this fall. It is hoped that the profes- sional activity day will pro- vide teachers with a clearer understanding of what developments have taken place within the system as well as the many educational possibilities on the micro computer that exist when the computer is integrated into the classroom. "A lot of development and training has already taken place in this area. A board committee has been in ex- istence for almost a year providing direction and we are gearing up to begin the actual task of writing guidelines for teachers in the classroom. We currently have at least one computer in each elementary school and it is expected the number will increase during the 1984-85 school year," said Director of Education William Eckert. He added, "in terms of hardware, software and pro- gram development, our ef- forts are beginning to show results." "It is of interest to note that in a number of schools, because of teacher effort and student interest, computer literacy and basic program- ming skills already exist. s RES HUS Drive o: Sail in!or that'e Two O,eaj Spa laid THIS THURSDAY NIGHT SEPTEMBER 22 WHITEFISH RATATOUILLE Servd from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. With old- fashioned french 'fries , tangy cola slaw, and fresh french stick. bread.
