An Exploration Of Peer Modeling On Behavior, Language, And Cognition Of Autistic Children In Early Childhood Education, Diana Pritts
An Exploration Of Peer Modeling On Behavior, Language, And Cognition Of Autistic Children In Early Childhood Education, Diana Pritts
Graduate Research Papers
Autism is a developmental disability that for years was closeted as a mysterious ailment that was not often researched, understood or even discussed. When the federal Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (Public Law 94-142) was passed, parents, professionals, and even the public started to look for answers to questions about autism that had been left unanswered for years. This law stated that all handicapped children were to be placed in the least restrictive environment.
Values Education: Empowering Teachers, Mary J. Trousdale
Values Education: Empowering Teachers, Mary J. Trousdale
Graduate Research Papers
The complexity of American society has left schools reeling from new roles and re-examination of the old ones. Dramatic social changes have burdened the schools with responsibilities traditionally left to the family and its support systems. Among the revisited roles comes the task of determining whether values should be taught in our schools. There appears to be a strong belief that schools and families no longer teach a common set of values or ethical principles that appear necessary for a society to sustain a common universally accepted system of governance. What, then, is the role of schools in preparing individuals …

Fostering Children's Literacy Through The Graphic Arts, Mary A. Vandermillen
Fostering Children's Literacy Through The Graphic Arts, Mary A. Vandermillen
Graduate Research Papers
This paper will discuss how picture books can offer children experiences with the graphic arts and how these experiences can nurture their emerging literacy. Then ways to implement the graphic arts, as part of the whole language concept, into an instructional program will be explored. Picture Books as a Base for Visual-Verbal Literacy Illustrations in picture books not only complement texts but, in many cases, extend their meaning. This verbal-visual collaboration can nurture children's emerging literacy.
Sexist Portrayals Of Women In Daytime Television, Angela Sommars
Sexist Portrayals Of Women In Daytime Television, Angela Sommars
Graduate Research Papers
Television is one of the main socializing forces in our culture today. It can mold opinions and attitudes and it can also help to change them. The portrayal of women on television in programs and commercials is still very negative in 1992. Although many people believe women have a more positive image on television today, many of these appearances are deceiving. Television's resistance of the influence of the Women's Liberation Movement is very evident in its continued stereotypes of women in subservient positions to men. Stereotypes of women are shown by the overwhelming majority of female roles in programs, commercials, …
Mckinstry School Media Center Project Card Catalog On Hypercard, Bonnie L. Smith-Davis
Mckinstry School Media Center Project Card Catalog On Hypercard, Bonnie L. Smith-Davis
Graduate Research Papers
The card catalog is an integral part of any library and the patrons need to know the appropriate method of using it. This HyperCard project was developed to integrate the basics of the card catalog with the visual aspects of the computer for "high-risk" (special learning difficulties) second graders to motivate interest in reading and card catalog. These children were guided through a series of lessons using the HyperCard materials to assist in certain conceptual aspects like distinguishing the elemental parts of the catalog card from one another. The lessons were divided into four sections averaging around thirty minutes each …
Grouping For Instruction In Reading, Carolyn Kay Grussing
Grouping For Instruction In Reading, Carolyn Kay Grussing
Graduate Research Papers
In 1992, Fielding stated: "One of the by-products of the movement toward increased instructional use of children's literature is that teachers are reexamining the different grouping patterns that are possible for elementary reading instruction" (p.26). Much discussion in the literature has been based on the pros and cons of placing students into groups and the criteria upon which grouping decisions should be made (Harp, 1989). Consequently, there is substantial literature that describes a variety of grouping arrangements and attempts to examine their effectiveness (Otto, Wolf, & Eldridge, 1984).
Nonverbal Communication And Its Effect On Students In A Multicultural Setting, Elaine Marie Guesnon
Nonverbal Communication And Its Effect On Students In A Multicultural Setting, Elaine Marie Guesnon
Graduate Research Papers
Living in a society with many cultures, we are faced with establishing new and innovative ways to communicate with others. Technology has enabled us to communicate faster with people of foreign countries, as well as inside the United States, in businesses, schools and homes. The United States is not only faced with communicating with foreign countries, but due to the migration of people from all over the globe, Americans are finding themselves having to communicate with people of different backgrounds.
Integration Of Service Learning Into The Public School Curriculum, Rita M. Arnold
Integration Of Service Learning Into The Public School Curriculum, Rita M. Arnold
Graduate Research Papers
In the researcher's hometown, in the last year of high school, there were two false fire-drills and two intentionally set fires. There was one firecracker set off in a restroom. At this school, swearing, fighting, and stealing among students have become common place. In addition to these, cases of verbal abuse of teachers, teen pregnancies, and substance abuse have increased. All these events happened in a 3 town with a population less than thirty-thousand, and the future does not look bright. This school, like many others is faced with teaching unmotivated students subjects they do not find relevant; it is …
What Skills Are Needed In Personnel Management Utilizing Telecommunication As A Training Tool, Veronica Lynn Heno
What Skills Are Needed In Personnel Management Utilizing Telecommunication As A Training Tool, Veronica Lynn Heno
Graduate Research Papers
According to Daniel Bissonnet (1990) in his article, "The role of high technology in training", as trainers, whether we are firmly entrenched in traditional modes of teaching or are adept at using new tools, the changes that technology imposes on the role of training in corporations are intimidating. The fact remains, though, that high-tech communication products will be used in training. Most consultants agree that as we move into the next decade, technology will require better learning and a broader array of skills and knowledge in the area of telecommunications.
The Use Of Creative Drama As An Observation-Based Strategy For Identification Of Gifted Preschool Children, Barbara Heitzman
The Use Of Creative Drama As An Observation-Based Strategy For Identification Of Gifted Preschool Children, Barbara Heitzman
Graduate Research Papers
Many scholars of gifted education have stated that early placement of children in gifted programs would provide opportunities for maximum development of potential and for nurturance of positive self concepts. Early identification and placement are also strongly suggested to help prevent underachievement (Karnes, 1988; Kitano, 1985a; and Van Tassel-Baska, 1988). Despite these needs, Karnes (1983) described very young gifted children as disadvantaged and underserved. More recently, the needs of young gifted children have become the subject of much discussion in the literature, and many educators have begun to address how to identify and serve this population (Karnes & Johnson, 1991 …
Enhancing Children's Literacy Through Story Retelling, Rita M. Heims
Enhancing Children's Literacy Through Story Retelling, Rita M. Heims
Graduate Research Papers
Implementing the whole language concept into an instructional program involves creating a supportive learning environment. This environment needs to be rich in content and filled with a whole array of possibilities for engaging in the thinking-language processes, but at the same time needs to be predictable and secure. Within such a classroom structure, children can engage in the functions of language to create their own meaning, thus developing thinking-language abilities and discovering the nature of the language. Retelling stories listened to or read is one of the activities that can nurture thinking-language abilities (Goodman, 1986).

Understanding Learning Styles And Their Implications For Education, Linda Jones
Understanding Learning Styles And Their Implications For Education, Linda Jones
Graduate Research Papers
Today, more than ever, a main concern of educators is how students attain a given piece of information or acquire a skill (Posey, 1984). This concern over how students learn has led to research in the area of learning styles. Learning styles are defined as "personally preferred ways of dealing with information and experience of learning that crosses content areas" (Della-Dora and Blanchard, 1979, p.22).
Writing Portfolios In The Language Arts Classroom, Lori L. Kleppe
Writing Portfolios In The Language Arts Classroom, Lori L. Kleppe
Graduate Research Papers
With the implementation of the whole language concept into language arts programs, the focus is on creating meaning through the language processes. In such a learning environment, children while involved in whole units are active participants in relevant activities that foster their thinking-language abilities (Goodman, 1986).
Manipulatives: Are They Necessary For Middle Level Learners?, Connie Bruns
Manipulatives: Are They Necessary For Middle Level Learners?, Connie Bruns
Graduate Research Papers
Educational leaders continually search for ways to improve the quality of learning for that special group of students we call middle level. Middle schools have worked to establish a unique program for making the transition from elementary to high school for young adolescents between the ages of ten and fifteen. Students at this age often make firm decisions about how and whether to continue their study of mathematics. Nowhere is the teaching of mathematics more challenging than during these years of transition (Leitzel, 1991 ).
Integrating Music And The Language Arts In The Elementary School, Jennifer L. Carstens
Integrating Music And The Language Arts In The Elementary School, Jennifer L. Carstens
Graduate Research Papers
The whole language concept emphasizes student involvement in the language processes to create meaning. This involvement can be supported by music activity. The rhythm, cadences, rhyming lyrics, and patterns found in songs make music a natural vehicle for introducing children to print and for nurturing language abilities. Musical experiences offer many opportunities for students to engage in the language processes of reading, writing, speaking/singing, and listening. This multi-sensory approach can heighten children's interest in language activity, thus nurturing their thinking-language abilities.
Extending The Literature Based Theme Of Change In A First Grade Classroom, Kristina J. Eells
Extending The Literature Based Theme Of Change In A First Grade Classroom, Kristina J. Eells
Graduate Research Papers
In the school at which Regie Routman taught, a literature based reading program was begun as a way to prevent reading failure of at-risk students. (Routman 1988). In this program children read and interacted with trade books. The students' interest in these stories was so high and their motivation so strong, they quickly learned to read the books. This approach is being used in regular education classrooms all around the world. A major influence to literature based reading programs has been Don Holdaway of New Zealand. He developed ideas to facilitate literacy using literature as the basis of instruction (Holdaway …
The Home And School Factors That Influence The Development Of Early Literacy In Preschool And Kindergarten Children, Moira Hopkins
The Home And School Factors That Influence The Development Of Early Literacy In Preschool And Kindergarten Children, Moira Hopkins
Graduate Research Papers
During the past decade, much has been written regarding the development of reading and writing of preschool and kindergarten children. While this topic has been investigated since the late 1800s, it is only within the past 10 years that the research has included children as young as 14 months and even younger (Teale and Sulzby, 1989). Leading researchers in the field, such as Holdaway, 1979; Morrow, 1989; Strickland, 1989; Sulzby, 1986, 1989, 1990; Teale, 1986, 1989, have studied early literacy development, as well as those factors which encourage it.
Attitudes Of Gifted Students Toward Pullout Programs, Terrie Jensen Huff
Attitudes Of Gifted Students Toward Pullout Programs, Terrie Jensen Huff
Graduate Research Papers
The effectiveness of various programs for gifted learners is of great concern to parents and educators. The most widely used program model for intellectually gifted students is the pullout model (Cox, Daniel, & Boston, 1985). In a nationwide comprehensive survey of gifted programs reported by Cox et al. (1985), 72% of the 4,000 responding districts used the pullout model to meet the needs of their gifted learners. This percentage increases to approximately 95% when considering only the upper elementary grade levels (Oglesby & Gallagher, 1983) .
Strategies And Practices To Enhance Reading Comprehension In The Elementary Classroom, Lois Marie Collins Berger
Strategies And Practices To Enhance Reading Comprehension In The Elementary Classroom, Lois Marie Collins Berger
Graduate Research Papers
The heart of reading instruction is comprehension. Today, reading is no longer considered a passive activity, but rather an activity that demands active engagement in the search for meaning. "Comprehension occurs when the reader extracts meaning from the written text rather than when he merely names the words in the text" (Lapp & Flood, 1 984, p. 274). Successful readers are actively involved in the comprehension process. They select and use a variety of reading strategies before they read, while they read, and after they read to help them construct meaning.
