Effects Of A Program To Correct Career Myths Among University Of Nebraska Undergraduates, David L. Erickson
Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)
The career myths concept was developed in recent years to explain one type of difficulty that counselors have in helping clients implement a rational plan of career decision-making.Career myths are those incorrect or self-defeating career-related beliefs or attitudes which either 1) serve to inhibit the client from making a career decision, or 2) cause the client to make a premature decision, without sufficient regard for self or occupational information.College counselors consider career myths to be a major impediment to rational career planning.
The main goal of this study has been to test the hypothesis that career myths can be effectively …

Math And Science Education, Geoffrey F. Davies, David Moshman, Lauren B. Resnick
Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications
Resnick provides an excellent brief account of current work in cognitive psychology and its important implications for math and science education. As she indicates, most cognitive psychologists view knowledge as consisting of highly organized schemata into which new experiences are assimilated and view the learner as actively constructing new knowledge. This view is consistent with the ideas that Piagetian theorists and educators have been propounding for many years, although Resnick’s discussion is rooted in the more detailed analysis of specific knowledge and learning in specific content areas that typifies the information-processing paradigm of modern cognitive science.

The Visual Arts In The Civilization Classroom, Thomas M. Carr Jr.
The Visual Arts In The Civilization Classroom, Thomas M. Carr Jr.
French Language and Literature Papers
Although the visual arts have long been a feature of civilization courses, instructors do not always exploit their full potential. This paper presents a checklist to help teachers identify the relevant aspects of the arts for study. Its goal is to facilitate comprehensive treatment of works of art by focusing on three areas: the aesthetic dimension, the social context, and the artist’s own experience. The checklist is followed by a series of activities which encourage students to integrate the various aspects of the arts while practicing their language skills.

G83-678 Producing Milk With A Low Bacteria Count, Stanely E. Wallen, Don J. Kubik, Stephen L. James, Daniel J. Borer, Gerald R. Bodman, E. Denis Erickson, Duane N. Rice, Philip H. Cole, Foster G. Owen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides cleaning, sanitizing, mechanical, environmental and other procedures to follow to assure a low bacterial count in milk. Bacteria are tiny, rapidly reproducing microorganisms that are too small to be seen without a high power microscope. Their very tiny size makes it very difficult to eliminate them from dairy equipment. Because bacterial growth in milk may cause spoilage and possibly human illnesses, a low bacterial count is one of the best indicators of top quality milk. Milk will almost always be of top quality if properly harvested from healthy, clean cows with clean equipment, cooled quickly and kept …

Heg83-181 Managing Conflict Successfully, Herbert G. Lingren
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication describes the differences between conflict and disagreement, and provides procedures for resolving them successfully.
How do you typically respond when you seriously disagree with someone? Do you...
1. get mad inside but keep quiet and give the other the "silent" treatment?
2. withdraw to a safe distance because you don't like to argue?
3. get angry, criticize, call names, use sarcasm or some other aggressive behavior?
4. give in; say "I guess you are right" with a big sigh, be submissive in order to avoid conflict.
5. deny or pretend that "everything is okay"--no conflict exists.
These are …

At some time, almost everyone gets behind in paying a bill. This publication offers suggestions about how to deal with creditors during those times.
The Problem
Due to some unexpected event, you are behind on your bills and don't expect to be able to catch up in the next month or two. You may have lost your job, or have had large medical bills.
You make promises to pay you can't keep; checks bounce, or you receive threats from creditors (people to whom you owe money) that they will sue or turn the account over to a collection agency.

Credentialism As Monopoly, Class War, And Socialization Scheme: Some Historical Reflections On Modern Ways Of Determining Who Can Do A Job, Paul A. Olson
Department of English: Faculty Publications
Social theorists in earlier periods have looked at credentialing from the perspective of its service to the economic or social system as opposed to its “protection of the public interest.” Adam Smith regarded the long education and the performance tests that the guilds required as monopolistic constraints on production; Karl Marx saw the same guild system as controlled by the propertied classes and uselessly exclusionary; and Emile Durkheim, unlike both Smith and Marx, regarded the occupational group with its entrance requirements as central to the stability of modern society. The application of the principles of Smith, Marx, and Durkheim, in …
Psi: An Attractive Alternative For The Basic Speech Communication Course, William J. Seiler
Psi: An Attractive Alternative For The Basic Speech Communication Course, William J. Seiler
Department of Communication Studies: Faculty Publications
The Personalized System of Instruction (PSI), often referred to as the Keller Plan after its founder Fred Keller, was developed to teach introductory psychology courses. Since it was first used, however, PSI has seen widespread use in many disciplines. Sherman estimates that six thousand PSI courses have been taught at all levels of education by virtually all disciplines. Boylan reports that more than thirteen hundred individuals presently use the PSI method on the university and college level; that 80.5% of the individuals surveyed represent four-year institutions, with the remainder representing two-year institutions; that 66% of the colleges and universities are …

G83-675 Yield Grades And Quality Grades For Lamb Carcasses, Dennis E. Burson, Ted Doane
G83-675 Yield Grades And Quality Grades For Lamb Carcasses, Dennis E. Burson, Ted Doane
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses yield and quality grades for lamb carcasses and their importance to producers.
Lamb carcass grades when applied by a USDA meat grader must consist of a yield grade and a quality grade. Yield grades estimate the percentage of closely trimmed, boneless retail cuts from the leg, loin, rib and shoulder. Quality grades indicate the palatability or eating characteristics of lamb.
Evaluating lamb carcasses for USDA Yield and Quality Grades recognizes carcasses with traits that influence live animal and carcass value, and identifies breeding animals that produce lambs of superior carcass merit.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication covers the importance of following fabric grainline in pattern layout and cutting, staystitching, sewing seams, pressing, topstitching and fitting for a professional-looking garment.
Strict attention to the grainline is one of the most critical factors in cutting and sewing professional-looking garments. Following the grainline is important when pinning the pattern to the fabric, cutting the fabric, and sewing the garment.
G83-681 Velvetleaf, Fred Roeth, Russell Moomaw, Alex Martin, Orvin Burnside
G83-681 Velvetleaf, Fred Roeth, Russell Moomaw, Alex Martin, Orvin Burnside
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides guidelines on how to control velvetleaf by prevention, cultural and mechanical methods, and by use of recommended herbicides.
Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.), a member of the Mallow family, is related to cotton, hollyhocks, and numerous weeds. Other common names include buttonweed, Indian mallow, butterprint, piemarker, velvetweed, and cottonweed. The preferred name, velvetleaf, amply describes its velvety-textured, hairy-surfaced leaves.
A native of China and presumably introduced into the U.S. from India as a fiber crop, this annual weed is adapted to cropland throughout most of the United States. Over the past 10 years, velvetleaf has increased dramatically …
