A 2-week laboratory learning experience was held for a |
|
group of 35 strangers who were to comprise the entire |
|
staff of a new high school. The general objective was to |
|
promote an effective social system characterized by (1) a |
|
high degree of proficiency in communication, |
|
decisionmaking, problem-solving, and conflict management; |
|
and (2) an atmosphere of interpersonal trust and freedom |
|
for innovation and experimentation. The effectiveness of |
|
the laboratory experience was assessed by (1) a staff |
|
questionnaire that measured change in anticipated |
|
behavior on several dimensions, (2) a student |
|
questionnaire that assessed changes in the students' |
|
perception of school norms, and (3) various other outcome |
|
criteria such as observations from regular consultation |
|
visits to the new school and the turnover rate in staff |
|
after the first year. These measures indicate that there |
|
were significant and desirable changes, both over time |
|
and in comparison to similar measures obtained from a |
|
control school, and that the changes could be attributed |
|
in part to the training interventions. (Author) |
