Psycho-Social Factors Influencing The Learning Of A Second Or A Foreign Language, Dora Mae Rodgers
Dissertations
Problem. With bilingualism now a world-wide phenomenon, language has become a powerful force for unity both at home and abroad.

In the United States, bilingualism and the learning of English as a second language are outstanding educational problems. Psycho-socio-cultural factors, attitudes, and motivation affect second language learning perhaps even more than age, aptitude, or methodology. The second language teacher must be aware of the existence and importance of these factors and their inherent problems. This study sought to classify and rate the importance …

Information regarding South American society and theological education in the territory of the South American Division existed in scattered sources and needed to be gathered and organized.

A Model For The Development Of Educational Specifications For Small Schools, Raymond K. Wilkinson
Dissertations
Problem. The process of carefully planning school facilities to accomodate and support a particular educational program is but a recent addition to educational theory and practice. In fact, the use of educational specifications, in which educators describe how a school will operate, and thus guide the architects in their process of design, has developed within the same general period of time during which schools have grown in size and complexity (Callahan, 1962; Roaden, 1963). As a result, the process of planning has largely been related to big schools, and the distinctive needs of small schools have been neglected. The …

Competitiveness, Cooperativeness, And Assigning Grades In The High School Classroom, Nelson Edward Evans
Competitiveness, Cooperativeness, And Assigning Grades In The High School Classroom, Nelson Edward Evans

It was hypothesized that dissimilarly oriented teachers and students would result in lowered grades for students. Independent variables were chosen in accordance with this major hypothesis which was divided into …
