Duty Performance Of Vocational Guidance Counselors, Richard K. Swanson Jan 1970

Duty Performance Of Vocational Guidance Counselors, Richard K. Swanson

All Master's Theses

It appeared to the author from reviewing the proposed Washington State Standards that perhaps the "quality" and "guidance functions" recommended by the Panel and adopted by the Vocational Education Act, to be available to students, were not being met by the counselors qualifying under the variety of requirements available to Washington State counselors. More specifically, it appeared that counselors being certified under a particular set of requirements would tend to perform a particular stage of counseling more successfully due to the experiences required for certification. The problem as viewed by the author is that the variety of criteria available for …


The Effects Of Intradimensional Variability On Conceptual Rule Problems, Kay C. Vodarski Jan 1970

The Effects Of Intradimensional Variability On Conceptual Rule Problems, Kay C. Vodarski

All Master's Theses

Conceptual ability, which is acquired through a learning process, is of interest to the behavioral scientist. Investigation of task and subject related variables in concept learning should lead to a better understanding of the cognitive processes. Moreover, such knowledge would have implications for educators in their methods of instruction even though results from the laboratory sometimes appear quite remote in their practical application to classroom behavior. The present study was concerned only with the rule learning aspects of conceptual behavior.

Acceptance Of Negroes By White College Students As A Function Of College-Class Standing, Religious Conviction, And Race Of Experimenter, Harry James Hawks

All Master's Theses

The present study essentially had a threefold purpose: to determine what effect the amount of education, or more specifically the year in college, has on the tolerance of white students to Negroes; what effect the strength of religious conviction has on these attitudes; and what effect the race of the experimenter has on student response.


Use Of The Pals Test To Differentiate Between High Achieving And Low Achieving Fifth Gradestudents: A Validity Study, Mickey H. Parson Jan 1970

Use Of The Pals Test To Differentiate Between High Achieving And Low Achieving Fifth Gradestudents: A Validity Study, Mickey H. Parson

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this investigation was to determine if the PALS Tests (Williams, 1958, 1961, 1964) would significantly differentiate between low achieving and hie;h achieving 5th-grade students. The basic design was the same basic design as used by Williams (1961), except that high achieving and low achieving students were used instead of acting-out and normal children. It was intended that this research supplement existing data concerning validity of the PALS Tests. The test author (Williams 1958, 1961, 1964) seems to be the only person who has conducted research regarding the PALS.

Ninety Day Follow-Up Of A Boy To Determine The Effects Of The Use Of Operant Techniques In The Classroom, Kim Gene Kay

All Master's Theses

However, the main emphasis of the study was on the maintenance of the modified (desirable) behavior in the classroom after the period of summer vacation.


Role Of Goal Assessment In Evaluating The Counseling Relationship, Dennis R. Whitney Jan 1970

Role Of Goal Assessment In Evaluating The Counseling Relationship, Dennis R. Whitney

All Master's Theses

The primary function of diagnosis in counseling is to enable the counselor to make predictions about behavior from which he in turn constructs his plans for handling the case (Callis, 1965). The writer assumed that all counselors engage in the process of diagnosis whether they do it purposefully and systematically, or implicitly, perhaps with very little awareness. If all counselors engage in diagnosis, then the accuracy of the counselor's predictions, based upon his evaluation of the client's goals is an important determinant in the way he handles the case and presumably affects the outcome of the counseling process. It seems, …
