Open-End Questions: Exploring The Qualitative Nature Of Our Quantitative Studies, Edward Jeff Daniel Jr.
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
The role of research in forensics is a wide and varied one. As with most social science research methods, the trend in forensics has turned from primarily case study/observational research to a mass of empirical data. Our quantitative studies have many problems from sample and questionnaire design to inappropriate or inaccurate statistical analysis. One of the basic reasons that these problems abound is that non-researchers are assigned the task of research. While it would be impossible to tackle all of the problems in the quantitative surveys done in the field of forensics, one of the best ways to improve the …

The Role Of Research In Individual Speaking Events, Colan T. Hanson
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
As school administrators face increasing pressure to provide a rigorous rationale for funding requests and a strong accounting of the benefits from funds expended, the forensic community will need to adopt an offensive posture, if the activities program is to remain a vital part of the overall communication program. Therefore in adopting an affirming stance, the forensic community will need a viable data base to sustain its case. The need for integrating an active research component into the life space of the forensic community is rapidly becoming a necessity. To help the forensic community sustain itself, not only is there …

An Overview Of The Bradley Summer Forensics Institute, Gary C. Dreibelbis
An Overview Of The Bradley Summer Forensics Institute, Gary C. Dreibelbis
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
The 1988 edition of the Summer Forensics Institute (SFI) at Bradley University attracted over 200 students from 15 states. The SFI is now national in scope as enrollment continues to increase each year. Students spend two weeks each summer developing and improving their skills at both oral interpretation and public address. This paper gives a brief overview of the Bradley SFI including the schedule of activities, goals, learning experiences, resources, and evaluation of SFI.

Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
To pursue the goal of reaching more students in the entire community, this paper contains five parts. First, I shall present an overall attitude that should be taken by collegiate' directors when interacting with high school coaches. Second, I shall examine traditional ways of collegiate directors promoting and benefiting from high school forensics within the urban setting. Third, I offer innovative ways of approaching high school programs. Fourth, I discuss how to cope with the diversity of students a successful high school/college connection would attract to not only the major urban university, but to the forensic community at large. Finally, …

The High School/College Connetion In Individual Events, Charles John Mcgeever
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
One of the problems for the twentieth century mind, asserts Walter J. Ong in his text. Some Proligemina for Cultural and Religious History. is that it has devalued orality and become a prisoner of the culture in which the twentieth-century mind has tried to mature. "Contemporary man," states Ong, "finds it exceedingly difficult and, in many instances, quite impossible, to sense what the spoken word actually is. He feels it is a modification of something which ought to be written" (19). Not only does contemporary man find print alien from the idiolect of homo dicens. but also he finds the …

Short-Term Loss, Long-Term Gain: Professional Development Of Graduate Assistants, V. William Balthrop
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
While the pressures and willingness for graduate assistants to spend extensive amounts of time coaching undergraduate competitors are considerable, this essay argues that other elements of directing are essential for the student's professional development Among those are reduced student contact hours in actual coaching, and a greater opportunities for personnel and administrative responsibilities. Experience while still under supervision in these areas can be an important contributor to the student's professionalism and success in directing her or his own forensic program.

Training Forensic Graduate Assistants: A Development Course, Regina A. Kostoff, Suzanne M. Mckeever
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
We have created a course which is geared towards helping the forensic graduate assistant. The focus of the course is the role of the individual events assistant; however, changes can made to adapt to an assistant who helps with a debate or combined forensics program. A suggested course outline is offered, as well as specific information and activities pertaining to the basic areas of study within the course. Following this, further suggestions and considerations offered.

Making The Transition From Undergraduate Competitor To Graduate Assistant Coach, Michael Kirch
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
Although the title of this paper fails to focus on those students new to the forensics arena, I have endeavored to include them in the following sets of advice. Additionally, while I will confine my discussion to those graduate students in individual events programs, much of the advice should be applicable to graduate students working in debate oriented programs as well. The eight pieces of advice are grouped around three ideas; setting expectations, your changing role, and coaching. All of the advice is either a product of my own experience as a graduate forensics assistant or a product of the …
Personnel Requirement In Forensics Education, Don Brownlee
Personnel Requirement In Forensics Education, Don Brownlee
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
The purpose of this position paper is not to ignite discontent with the present role of GAs, but rather to focus attention on a select number of issues regarding GAs that should be of interest to the forensics community and, particularly, to programs employing them. My comments and speculations represent my own experiences as a GA during masters and doctoral work, including responsibility for directing a forensics program during doctoral study. These thoughts are also a function of having worked with some two dozen GAs during my 13 years as a full-time faculty director of forensics.

Have We Been Offering Too Much Help?, Patricia Kalanquin
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
Should the speech writing process be a completely collaborative effort between coach and student? Should an oral interpretation selection used successfully by one student be filed away and given to another student for competition two or three years later? If any of these situations sound familiar to you, it is probably because you are an individual events (IE) coach. Often as IE coaches, we are called upon to answer questions, like the ones above, that may not have one right answer. Questions like these, bring up issues of ethical standards. As an IE coach, I find it is most difficult …
Ethics And Forensics: There Is A Need, Joel L. Hefling
Ethics And Forensics: There Is A Need, Joel L. Hefling
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
It has been fairly well established that the decade of the '80s is a very competitive one. We are bombarded daily with competition for our attention, for our affection, for our time, and for our dollars. As a result. It becomes increasingly important for us to be able to intelligently make decisions, and to make them quickly. Sometimes there is time to ponder alternatives and to consider options. Often, however, that time is not available. At those moments, it is important to be able to draw upon a broad-based background o! information to assist us in the decision-making process. That …
Looking In From The Fringe: A Need For Commonality And Accountability In Professional Ethical Standards In Forensics, Sujanet Mason
Looking In From The Fringe: A Need For Commonality And Accountability In Professional Ethical Standards In Forensics, Sujanet Mason
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
Our conceptions of honesty, decency, and integrity determine who and what we are. We should ask exactly what is our concept of "right" and "wrong." As we can seldom circumvent the level of our skills, talents, or conscience, our decisions and conduct are the product of moral reference. It is suggested that education and training are the means to earn what is wanted from life, therefore, the educated man, at least ideally, doesn't have the temptation to cheat or steal. Further, it has been said, "One need not be as worried about the multiplication of sinners as with the disappearance …
Ethical Considerations For Forensics Educators, Sheryl A. Friedley
Ethical Considerations For Forensics Educators, Sheryl A. Friedley
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
In 1984, the Ethics of Advocacy Committee at the National Developmental Conference on Forensics defined forensics as primarily an educational activity. In addition, that same Committee defined "ethical behavior" as that which promotes the educational goals of the activity while "unethical behavior" hinders such educational goals (Parson, 1984, p. 14). With this educational perspective as the focus of this discussion, I will posit three specific ethical responsibilities to which I believe forensic educators should aspire. While these ethical responsibilities do not dictate specific policy, they do provide an educationally-based philosophy from which specific ethical policy may be formed.

Strategies To Enhance University Support For Individual Events Programs, Edward J. Harris Jr.
Strategies To Enhance University Support For Individual Events Programs, Edward J. Harris Jr.
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
It is only fitting that we gather for this historic inaugural Conference on Individual Events as we stand on the doorstep of the 1990's. If intercollegiate Individual Events is to prosper in the decade ahead, it must entrench itself in the changing structure of University decision making. Forensics must exist in the context of an academic institution and so must make itself a valued aspect of that institution. In the 1990's that means survival in an atmosphere of budget cutting, concern for accountability and pleas for a return to basics. As a forensic coach, a teacher and a Department Chair, …
Creating A Climate Of Support For Forensics Programs, Larry Underberg
Creating A Climate Of Support For Forensics Programs, Larry Underberg
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
This paper offers three recommendations bearing on the general topic of administrative support and publicity. First, I urge the collection and dissemination of information about funding levels, activity levels, and instructional demands in forensics. This information would provide an important data base for directors of forensics who bear the primary responsibility for securing sup port for their forensics program and negotiating expectations that influence outside assessments of program quality and instructional performance. Second, a call for increased attention to non-competitive public service programs as a means of enhancing program visibility and reaffirming a commitment to speech as a means for …
The Cultivation Of Administrative And General Suppport For Individual Events Programs: Some Practiceal Suggestions, Robert S. Littlefield
The Cultivation Of Administrative And General Suppport For Individual Events Programs: Some Practiceal Suggestions, Robert S. Littlefield
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
In the proceedings for both the first and second developmental conferences on forensics, a number of issues were raised regarding administrative support or lack thereof for forensic programs. Six of the topics discussed in those proceedings are appropriate to the focus of this paper regarding administrative support and publicity: (1) Administrative support needs to be cultivated through enhanced awareness of forensic programs and their benefits for students (McBath, 13; Parson, 42); (2) the forensic community must work together to promote the activity (Parson, 48); (3) professional organizations must serve their members in a variety of ways (Parson, 39); (4) additional …
Earning Support For Individual Events Programs, Robert W. Greenstreet
Earning Support For Individual Events Programs, Robert W. Greenstreet
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
This paper is divided into four areas. The first provides suggestions for the general orientation of the individual events program. The remaining areas focus on the three major functions of colleges and universities in the U.S. today: instruction, scholarship, and service. (Scholarship is approached as undergraduate scholarship, as another conference group is focusing on in individual events.) In each area, I suggest steps directors of individual events programs may take to become a more integral part of the academic communities in which their programs are housed. Those steps take the form of recommendations. Only two of the recommendations in this …

Avoiding The Schism: An Assessment Of Attitudes Toward Performance Of Literature In Competitive Environments, Cindy J. Kistenberg, Paul H. Ferguson
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
The number of students involved, variety of events, and general popularity of oral interpretation competition at current forensics tournaments suggests an activity in radiant good health. But this apparent good health may be threatened by controversy between oral interpretation theorists and those involved in competitive interpretation. Concern about the purpose of oral interpretation is responsible for this controversy.
