Abstract: The research design (called a Model for Educational Improvement), which was employed to compare the process of community educational change in Wisconsin, England, and Taiwan, is described. It was designed to demonstrate the means by which the following can be compared across cultures: Comparative influence on educational matters that are assigned by community leaders and parents to selected individuals or groups, and comparative extent of responsibility for educational improvement so assigned. The design presents a novel system for realistic field interviewing in a country where there is a language barrier for the researcher. Included in the design are descriptions of how preliminary plans are made for gaining school cooperation, methods of selecting samples of parents, and determination of the sample of community leaders. Results of the study, which proved the model's viability across cultures, are presented in summary form (tables and narrative). The summary includes information which demonstrates the greater influence in England and Taiwan of district administrators, principals or headmasters, teachers, and of both state (province) and federal officials as perceived by parents and community leaders. It also includes evidence from parents that in Wisconsin the influence of the school boards and parents is greater than in England and Taiwan. (Author/WL)
