Relationships Between Selected Environmental Characteristics, Neighborhood Type, And School Achievement, Franklin Titus Iii
Relationships Between Selected Environmental Characteristics, Neighborhood Type, And School Achievement, Franklin Titus Iii
Student Work
The primary purpose of this study was to determine if neighborhood and school type help to predict 4th and 6th grade academic achievement above and beyond traditional socioeconomic status (SES) indices. A second purpose was to determine whether the findings of environmental effects research for smaller-size cities differ from studies which investigate larger urban centers. The study also sought to identify potential ways neighborhoods could be meaningfully classified in ways that might aid future research, and the possible presence of schools that succeed despite a profile that says they should not. Achievement test results of schools (N=61) from two Midwest …

Holding Power Index; Considerations Associated With Administrators Willingness/Unwillingness To Use The Cohort Method To Measure Student Dropout Rates Of Nebraska Public High Schools, Richard A. Dierkhising
Student Work
Public high schools do not consistently use one method to measure student dropout rates. The purpose of this study was to identify differences in the reasons given by principals and district office administrators from various size public high school/districts which describe willingness or unwillingness to adopt the cohort method as the standard measure of student dropout rates.

Teacher Education Faculty Publications
With the emergence of Internet technology, students have the opportunity to develop skills necessary to live, work and play in the 21st century. More than ever before, students will need to be competent in accessing and managing information from a variety of sources. The Internet allows students to engage in global communication, as well as access the most current information available. For art education, the Internet also provides a real opportunity to blend multicultural, multi-age, gender-inclusive educational reform into the art curriculum by incorporating visual resources and contextual information from many different cultures.

Comminity Service Learning As Democratic Education In South Africa And The United States, Meta Mendel-Reyes, Jeremy Weinstein
International Service Learning & Community Engagement
This paper describes the development of the first community service learning program for democratic education in South America. The democracy education project, which is based on Swarthmore College's innovative Democracy project, was designed and implemented by a Swarthmore College Student working with a high school in a black community near Cape Town. This case study demonstrates that the successful transpositions of a model of community service learning from one country to another requires recognizing the complex relationships among history and culture, and theories and practices of democratic education.

Wisc-Iii Profile Patterns Of Learning Disabled Children, Russell Goetting
Student Work
The present study examined the performance of a heterogeneous population of learning disabled children (N=171) and children with learning disabilities in reading (LD-R), math (LD-M), and reading and math (LD-R+M) on the WISC-III ACID and SCAD subtests (Arithmetic, Coding, Information, Digit Span, and Symbol Search). Archival WISC-III scores of children that have been verified as having a learning disability in fourteen Midwestern school systems were used to answer the research questions in this study. Two different methods of examining performance on the ACID and SCAD subtests were used in this study, the index score method and the profile method. The …
Community Service Throughout A School System, Anne Bishop
Community Service Throughout A School System, Anne Bishop
Service Learning, General
Teachers crave moments when student interest is high, questions flow freely, and learning is vivid enough to be retained. One such moment occurred when an elementary student in an environmental service project with wetlands volunteers said, "I learned that there are different types of wetlands and ours is a freshwater wetland that we are helping to stay fresh." These moments happen more often when students actively engage in experiences that involve helping others than during lecture, pencil and paper exercises, or assigned reading. Combined, service and learning become uniquely powerful (Kendall 1990). Facts learned in the classroom become a springboard …

In India/ A Bold Experimental In Teaching Values, Carolyn Cottom
International Service Learning & Community Engagement
A religiously diverse school has proven that teachers can instill both personal and social virtues and a desire to excel, and that academic excellence flows from character development. Since its conception 36 years ago, the city Montessori school (CMS), a nonprofit private school in Lucknow, India has been teaching children values. The world's largest school, with 19,000 students and 15 branches, the City Montessori School has provided an exemplary education for students in Kindergarten through the 12th grade by focusing on both academic excellence and children's emotional and spiritual well-being. Four integrated concepts, called the Four Building Blocks, from the …

The first class of 58 trainees and staff broke new ground in a challenging environment-war torn Somalia. This Evaluation comes at the conclusion of the first six month course of study and practical skill development. There were many lessons learned and the intent of this evaluation is to highlight both the successes and areas needing improvement. The reporting is based on the author's initial assessment in November, 1992 in Somalia (1993-1994) and on visits to the project as education consultant during operation of the first class. (September 19-28, 1995 and February 14 - March 10,1996)
Physiological Responses To Various Durations And Intensities Of Warmup, Susan J. Hanson
Physiological Responses To Various Durations And Intensities Of Warmup, Susan J. Hanson
Student Work
Warmup has been a general practice for most athletes to engage in prior to a practice or competitive race. However, there has been little scientific evidence, specifically for the endurance athlete concerning the appropriate duration, intensity, or a combination of duration and intensity needed to enhance performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine how different combinations of durations and intensities of warmup affect heart rate (HR), lactic acid· (LA), minute ventilation (VE), respiratory exchange ratio (R) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during a 5 minute treadmill run at 80% VO2 max. Subjects included four male and …

Correlates Among Teachers’ Anxieties, Demographics, And Telecomputing Activity, Judith B. Harris, Neal Grandgenett
Teacher Education Faculty Publications
Are educators' anxiety levels or demographics related to their voluntary use of networked resources? In this study, one year of logins and online time for 189 randomly selected educators with accounts on Tenet (Texas Education Network) were correlated with six interval-level subject attribute variables: (a) writing apprehension, (b) oral communication apprehension, (c) computer anxiety, (d) age, (e) teaching experience, and (f) telecomputing experience. The usage data were also correlated with three nominal-level subject attribute variables: (a) gender, (b) professional specialty, and (c) teaching level. Results indicated that writing apprehension was significantly and negatively correlated with network use, and that telecomputing …

Communication Faculty Publications
Internships have become an integral part of many journalism and broadcasting curricula. More than 95 percent of journalism and broadcasting programs report that internships are a part of their curricula (Becker. 1990; Meeske. 1988b). The industry's mandate that even entry-level employees should have experience in the field (Basow & Byrne. 1993; Parcells. 1985) has led colleges and universities to help place students in internships. The programs offer students an opportunity to grow in the professional environment, while supplementing what has been learned in the classroom.

At the University of Pittsburgh, Generations Together, an Intergenerational Studies Program develops programs that bring young and old together in ways that benefit both generations. The University Challenge for Excellence Program (DCEP) works with entering students who are often first generation, mostly African-American, and who may be in need of special assistance during their first year. UCEP seeks ways to raise their self esteem, give them a sense of purpose, connect them to the University, and ultimately to retain them at Pitt through graduation. In 1994, these two university programs joined together with the Housing Authority of the City of …
