A Study Of Selected Walt Disney Screenplays And Films And The Stereotyping Of The Role Of The Female, Jerry P. Houseman

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Given this large involvement that children have with motion pictures, an educator is moved to inquire into the possible effects that movies might have upon them. It, therefore, seems appropriate that an educational dissertation be undertaken concentrating on Disney Production films, since as indicated by the foregoing, they are so universally viewed by American children.

Statement of the problem:

This study attempted to (1) analyze the five screenplays listed on page 6, (2) show two Disney films based on the screenplays analyzed to groups of children and administer a questionnaire to them. The investigator used the obtained data to determine …

Knowledge And Attitudes Of Iranian Parents And Students (Age 11-18) About The New Educational Guidance Program, And Their Perceptions Of The Guidance Counselor's Role, Parvin Boroumand

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Planning of educational and guidance programs is conducted without providing a way for parents and students to express their expectations of that program and without discovering how well the parents and students understand the program which is proposed.

Historically, education in Iran has been organized to allow for no involvement of the community in educational planning and change. Students and parents have had to accept the programs without expressing their attitudes toward these programs or raising questions as to their validity. A great number of students and their parents have not been satisfied with the services of the schools, and …
