Samples of 100 participants were chosen for the study by selecting 20 Fine and Applied Arts Trainee Instructors each from the five states of South-East using convenient sampling technique. The participants were exposed to a three-month cognitive behavior therapy aimed at reducing stress and after which data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using repeated measure analysis of variance. The study revealed that there is reduction in stress level of the Fine and Applied Arts Trainee Instructors who were exposed to cognitive behavior therapy than those that were not exposed to it.

The regulation of entry qualification is one of the quality assurance measures in colleges of education. The essence of this measure is to ensure that only candidates with the mental capacity to pursue and complete a course of study in a tertiary institution are admitted into this level of education. The success of any policy measure toward the attainment of its underlying objectives however depends on the level of its implementation. Due to some unpleasant remarks about the quality of some products of teacher education institutions, this study was executed to determine the extent of implementation of some stipulated guidelines for the admission of students into colleges of education in the south East of Nigeria. In order to accomplish the study, the multistage sampling technique was used to draw six colleges out of eleven colleges of education in the area. From the six colleges, 205 academic and non academic staff were drawn out of about 2053 staff. The research data were collected using researchers’ constructed Admission Guidelines Implementation Rating Scale (AGIRS). This instrument has a validity index of .95. It was supplemented by the Admission Guidelines Implementation Interview schedule also constructed by the researchers. The data so collected were analyzed by means of both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study showed that whereas some stipulated admission guidelines were being implemented to a high degree, the level of implementation of others were low. Also found was a disparity in the level of implementation of stipulated guidelines between federal colleges and privately owned colleges of education. Consequently, it was recommended that the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) should step up its monitoring and evaluation functions in the colleges with special attention given to the private colleges.

The Renewal of AEESEAP and Future Plans

AEESEAP is the acronym for the Association for Engineering Education in Southeast and East Asia and the Pacific. The Association was formed in 1973 with the support of UNESCO. During the 36 years of development, however, the economic situation drastically changed among the member countries and AEESEAP must seek for new approach to achieve the aims and goals established at the beginning. The Executive Meeting held in Tokyo in 2008 was a turning point to adjust the AEESEAP activities to cope with new development. This paper describes the historical review and possible future activities of AEESEAP.

How Communities Can Use Research to Hold School Systems Accountable

This article examines how community organizations can use research to identify community education interests and influence school systems to serve those interests. A case study of the Southeast Education Task Force in Baltimore, Maryland, analyzes the organization's efforts to develop a school facility plan and persuade the school system to adopt and implement it. The organization combined formal research on school facilities, political research on allies and decision-makers, and informal collection of local knowledge. It used this research to develop short-term and long-range facility and capital improvement plans. With the research, the organization persuaded the school system to repair school facilities and assisted the system in persuading State decision-makers to approve a new neighborhood school. The article identifies conditions under which community organizations are likely to conduct and use research, as well as conditions under which they may use research influentially with a school system. The case illustrates ways community organizations can use research to hold school systems accountable for responding to community agendas.
