Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Forty mothers of children with retardation and forty-one mothers of children without disabilities rated their nondisabled children on levels of in-home responsibility and psychological adjustment. Siblings of children with retardation were found to show significantly more difficulty in psychological adjustment but not more in-home responsibility. Mean scores on ratings of psychological adjustment were in the normal range for both groups. There was no relationship between the degree of responsibility the sibling had in the home and the degree of psychological difficulty. Girls in both groups had significantly more responsibility than boys. Mothers of children with disabilities did not report closer …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Scheduling Practices And Selected Outcome Accountability Project Indicators In Virginia High Schools, Jonathan Leopold Lewis
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Since the publication of A Nation at Risk in 1983, educational theorists and practitioners have begun to reevaluate the business of schooling in America. In Virginia, the Department of Education has instituted World Class Education (WCE), Common Core of Learning, and Outcome Accountability Project (OAP) initiatives in producing an educational system on par with systems internationally by developing curricula based upon perceived twenty-first century needs and by measuring school and division productivity based on student outcomes. It is likely that innovative school scheduling practices will play a critical role as school districts and individual schools begin to restructure their programs …

The Hassles and Uplifts Scales was used to measure stressors; demographic data and the Self control, Responsibility, Socialization, Psychological Mindedness, Tolerance, …

Making Access Meaningful: Effects Of An Early Contact Program On Community College Student Success, Judy Bierlein Mcmillan
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of an early contact program on the achievement, persistence, and satisfaction of new underprepared community college students. While open door admissions policies assure access to higher education, nearly three-fourths of all community college students leave before completing an associate degree. The traditional sink or swim approach to community college student success is at odds with the goal of improved student outcomes. It was hypothesized that first-time underprepared community college students who participate in a program providing personal contact and support exhibit greater achievement, persistence, and satisfaction than their cohorts who …
