The Power Of Music: Song Serves As An Effective Recall Cue In Children, Tanisha Dews
The Power Of Music: Song Serves As An Effective Recall Cue In Children, Tanisha Dews
McCabe Thesis Collection
Song, in some cases, can facilitate learning and recall. The experiments in this thesis demonstrate that information is better recalled when it is heard as a song rather than as speech or through lecture. This study further proves that when a combination of song and speech are taught to children, the retrieval of information is even greater. When the group of the second condition was tested, they were more successful in recalling the information learned. This study also recognizes that song can infuse difficulty due to music's rich structure and makeup of rhythm, tempo, and stress patterns. The overall paper …

An Analysis Of The Ideologies, Strategies And Applications Of Chess And Martial Arts With Respect To Transferable Skills, Torriente Toliver
McCabe Thesis Collection
Chess and martial arts are used to show how to transfer learned skills. Transferable skill is the process by which one uses a learned skill in a different situation. The artifact explains different ways to transfer skills to promote critical thinking. The artifact also shows how to apply the results of attempting to transfer skills to the original skill to enhance understanding of said skill. The artifact defines and describes multiple aspects of chess and martial arts such as tactics, strategy, and thinking. Critical thinking, not results, is the objective of the research.

Semantic Changes In Present-Day English (Pde), Marva A. Banks
Semantic Changes In Present-Day English (Pde), Marva A. Banks
McCabe Thesis Collection
Before the printing press was invented, there was no recognized Standard English. There was no need for an English standard because most important public writing was in either French or Latin. "English was used primarily for oral and informal purposes and varied quite a bit from place to place" (Barry 2002). Mechanized printing, introduced into England in the late fifteenth century, made standardization a necessity. Later, in the eighteenth century, a small group of influential people decided that there needed to be a fixed standard for the English language. The group was appalled at the chaos in English and believed …
The Selected Language Styles Of African Americans In An Urban Environment, Danielle R. England
The Selected Language Styles Of African Americans In An Urban Environment, Danielle R. England
McCabe Thesis Collection
The overall scope of this research is to define and explain the different styles of African American English. What are they and how do they affect the American society? The means by which many African Americans communicate is different from what American deems as standard American English (SAE). To this date, the voice of Black America has been categorizes as Black Dialect, African American Vernacular English, and Black English. Only until recently has the Black voice been regarded as Ebonics. Where did these language styles originate and why do we continue to speak it? Of course, there is nothing wrong …
Effects Of The Media On Parents And Teachers In Regard To Reading Aloud To Children, Darwin Spiller
Effects Of The Media On Parents And Teachers In Regard To Reading Aloud To Children, Darwin Spiller
McCabe Thesis Collection
Reading aloud to children has always been a part of classroom instruction, but it has been neglected in recent years because of time constraints in the classroom due to the requirement for accountability, competency testing, and other demands on time. The media, however, point out that reading aloud to children as young as one year of age will increase vocabulary, improve listening skills, and enhance ability to comprehend. It would appear that many parents and teachers hear the message but do not take this advice seriously.
The purpose of this study is to establish whether the media has influenced the …
The Need And Justifcation For All-Black Male Academies In Urban Areas, Nimrod Malik Shabazz
The Need And Justifcation For All-Black Male Academies In Urban Areas, Nimrod Malik Shabazz
McCabe Thesis Collection
During the 1980's, the concept of an all-Black male academy was strongly pushed as a panacea for the seemingly systematic, scholastic downfall of Black males in secondary institutions. Though said academies have received strong community support, opposition against them has also been equally staunch. All-Black male academies have also fallen under question because of their supposed discrimination against females and the belief that their existence would return the system of education in the United States to segregation.
The purpose of this study is to analyze historical factors which have affected Black male academic achievement on the secondary level in urban …
An Historical Look At The Negro Baseball Leagues: The Legend Of The Black Knights, Terry Pierce
An Historical Look At The Negro Baseball Leagues: The Legend Of The Black Knights, Terry Pierce
McCabe Thesis Collection
This study hopes to fill in some of the gaps in the history of the Negro Leagues. More importantly though, this research is successful only if the readers can come away with a true sense of what the ballplayers of the era felt and why they played while enduring racism and humiliation.
This study was conducted to pull together the previously written facts and history of the Negro Leagues with obscure oral history and data found through interviews, videotapes, articles, and books from and about those who played and lived during the era.
Integration Within Desegrated School Systems: Guthrie High School, A Case Study, Eric A. Moore
Integration Within Desegrated School Systems: Guthrie High School, A Case Study, Eric A. Moore
McCabe Thesis Collection
Integration within desegregated school systems is a topic that, according to several authors and professors, can be "counted on with two hands." This is an exaggeration; however, recent literature in this area is lacking. There have been several federally funded case studies, but all of the case studies have apparently been confined to urban settings. This thesis is unique in that it focuses upon the Guthrie, Oklahoma, 6 public high school system. Unlike many larger urban areas, this high school does not experience major problems such as busing, "white flight," the inability to find teachers with the resolve to teach …
