Prediction Analysis And Developmental Priority: A Comment On Froman And Hubert, David Moshman
Prediction Analysis And Developmental Priority: A Comment On Froman And Hubert, David Moshman
Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications
Froman and Hubert (1980) have attempted to show how recently developed prediction analysis techniques may be applied to issues of developmental priority, that is, to clarifying the interrelationship between two developing concepts. Although this work is in some respects an important advance over earlier statistical techniques, it seems to raise new problems: (a) It goes too far in identifying issues of developmental priority (sequence vs. synchrony) with issues of statistical relationship (dependence vs. independence) and thus (b) unjustifiably fails to consider certain information inherent in the data which, although irrelevant to issues of statistical relationship, is highly relevant to issues …
A Study Of The Validity Of Undergraduate Grade Point Average And Graduate Record Examination Scores As Predictors Of Success In The Selection Of Masters Level Graduate Students In Psychology, Margaret Tandy O'Connor

Representation And Process In Reasoning About Logical Relationships, David Moshman
Representation And Process In Reasoning About Logical Relationships, David Moshman
Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications
According to a popular conception of reasoning, the thinker first mentally represents given information and then processes the resulting representations. It is commonly assumed, at least implicitly, that difficulty of the representation step is solely a function of facility with the form and content of the information to be represented, while difficulty of the processing step is solely a function of facility with the operation(s) necessary to meet the task requirements. Within this two-step information processing model, form/content variables and task requirements should thus have an additive effect on problem difficulty. To test this prediction, 72 male students in grades …

Development Of Formal Hypothesis-Testing Ability, David Moshman
Development Of Formal Hypothesis-Testing Ability, David Moshman
Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications
It was postulated that formal operational hypothesis-testing ability includes at least three cognitive capacities: (a) implication comprehension, the ability to understand conditional relationships; (b) falsification strategy, the realization that to test a hypothesis, one must seek information that would falsify it; and(c) nonverification insight, the realization that hypotheses are not conclusively verified by supporting data. A total of 24 males in each of Grades 7, 10, and college evaluated data descriptions with respect to each of four hypothesized implication relationships and chose an experiment to test each hypothesis. Results suggested three sequences of qualitative change in hypothesis-testing ability: (a) from …
Some Comments On Brée & Coppens’ “The Difficulty Of An Implication Task”, David Moshman
Some Comments On Brée & Coppens’ “The Difficulty Of An Implication Task”, David Moshman
Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications
In a recent article in this Journal, Brée & Coppens (1976) tested Brée’s (1973) model of performance on Wason’s extensively studied “four-card task.” The Brée model is of considerable interest in that it (a) differentiates comprehension of the proposition to be tested from the hypothesis- testing strategy itself (as do Smalley, 1974, and Moshman, 1977), and (b) is closely related to Piaget’s theory of formal operations (Inhelder & Piaget, 1958) in its consideration of combinatorial analysis (elaboration of possibilities) and hypothetico-deductive reasoning (reasoning based on possibilities rather than facts). Unfortunately, the test of the model is marred both by incorrect …
Validity Of Bender Gestalt Test Emotional Indicators For Functional Fifth-Grade Children, Donald Britt
Validity Of Bender Gestalt Test Emotional Indicators For Functional Fifth-Grade Children, Donald Britt
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Both the Bender Gestalt Test and the Children's Personality Questionnaire were administered to 75 fifth grade students. Analyses were made to determine the possible relationships between the Koppitz Emotional Indicators on the Bender Gestalt Test and the various personality factors assessed by the Children's Personality Questionnaire. The results of these analyses found few significant relationships. Those that were significant were frequently conflicting and the opposite of the results which would have been predicted by Koppitz. These results provide a basis for questioning the validity of the Koppitz Emotional Indicators and their adequacy for use as a technique for personality assessment …

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
This study attempted to develop and evaluate the content, format and effectiveness of a parent training course which emphasized democratic child rearing methods. The course was conducted by a school counselor in an elementary school. The content was a combination of Dreikur's child-raising techniques and Gordon's communication skills embodied into a commercial program called Systematic Training for Effective Parenting. The format for each of the nine suggested group sessions began with a leader-introduced topic, followed by large and small group discussions, simulated role play, use of worksheets, handouts, audio-visuals, and homework assignments.

An Approach To Meeting The Educational Needs Of A Select Group Of Migrant Children, Ruth G. Cornelius
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Children in grades one through six who were identified as children from migrant agricultural families in a specific country in South Central Kentucky were compared to non-migrant children in the same specific county. A determination of the educational needs of these migrant children was made by a comparison of their standardized test scores to similar test scores of children from non-migrant families in the areas of Reading, Math, AND Total Battery scores. Resultant data from the test scores indicated that migrant children generally do not have achieve as high academically in the areas tested as do children from non-migrant families. …

Contemporary Historical Research Conference, John A. Henschke Edd
Contemporary Historical Research Conference, John A. Henschke Edd
IACE Hall of Fame Repository
The problems and rewards of conducting contemporary historical research are related in the light of the author's experiences in preparing an Ed.D. dissertation analyzing Malcolm, S. Knowles' contributions to and influence on the field of adult study accurate but inconclusive. The major portion of the dissertation was based on data available in documents by or about Knowles, but an "opinionnaire" schedule (an adaptation of the Applied Behavioral Science Interview schedule), loosely constructed and open-ended, was sent to 150 former colleagues and students of Knowles. The problems raised by this form of research are discussed by the author. Three areas of …

Rules And Freedom: Games As A Mechanism For Ego Development In Children And Adolescents, Layman E. Allen
Book Chapters
A NEW PHASE of Part I begins with this chapter by Layman Allen. The chief difference between the earlier and the later chapters lies in an emphasis first on play, then later on games. Allen summarized the proceedings of a "Rules and Freedom" conference that had been set up by Dr. Eli Bower with the intention of bringing together professional people having a wide variety of backgrounds. In many cases practitioners in one field did not know about the interest in and uses by practitioners in another. In a situation conducive to free exchange of orientations and objectives, the assembled …

Developing The Quality Of Otherness An Ethnological Study Concerning The Guidance Of Social Sensitivity In Six-Seven Year Olds, Corinne Topmiller
Developing The Quality Of Otherness An Ethnological Study Concerning The Guidance Of Social Sensitivity In Six-Seven Year Olds, Corinne Topmiller
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The premise acted upon in this study was not hastily contrived. Centuries of the recognized best in thinking have been compiled before any dynamics were put in motion. Thought of current authorities has been sifted and carefully weighed before six-year-olds were subjected to its effects. The outcome of this search for a truth has been gratifying. After much "boiling and skimming" this truth remained in the field of teaching human relationships: If a child fully realizes that his fellow being is a living, sensitive organism, his overt action and emotional reactions are generally affected.
The Relationship Between The Intelligence & Emotional Stability Of Seventh & Eighth Grade Pupils, Thomas Boone
The Relationship Between The Intelligence & Emotional Stability Of Seventh & Eighth Grade Pupils, Thomas Boone
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
A question nearly as old as the intelligence test itself led the author to make the investigation upon which this thesis is based. For years people in education and related fields have speculated as to whether the most intelligent children were the most stable emotionally or whether these brighter children tended more readily than the dull or average child to exhibit undesirable personality variations.
Practically everyone has, at some time in his life, used one or two isolated circumstances to prove the point that the more intelligent children were emotionally unstable or that the duller children were more unstable , …

Education And Living: Volume 1, Ralph Borsodi
School of Living Documents
In Education and Living, a two-volume work, Borsodi elaborated the model of the School of Living. Most of volume one consists of a critique of “mis-education.” Most of that critique focuses on the problems of centralization; centralization of industry, the economy, politics and education. The second volume of Education and Living explains Borsodi’s vision of achieving decentralization in detail. The second volume is in two parts: Right-Education and Re-Education. It explains how to educate for the “Normal” human being and for achieving the “Normal” way of living. This is not the “normal” of the bell curve, the average of a …
