Savor The Word To Reinforce Vocabulary In The Content Areas, Ezra L. Stieglitz, Varda S. Stieglitz
Savor The Word To Reinforce Vocabulary In The Content Areas, Ezra L. Stieglitz, Varda S. Stieglitz
Faculty Publications
Success in the content area is determined mainly by the degree to which students master important concepts. This grasp of concepts is the major goal of instruction in all the content areas regardless of the modes of presentation such as reading from a textbook, viewing a filmstrip, or listening to a lecture. Along with concept development, the subject matter teacher must recognize the importance of words, whether printed or spoken, to content area learning. Words and content are inseperable. As Allington and Strange (1980, p. 143) state, "identifying a set of key concepts is primarily a task of identifying the …

The Development Of Interpersonal Cognitive Problem-Solving Skills Of Eight To Fourteen Year-Old Educable Mentally Retarded Children In A Rural Educational Setting, Jeff Carroll
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Spivack and Shure’s (1974) Interpersonal Cognitive Problem-Solving (ICPS) model was evaluated on Educable Mentally Retarded (EMR) children. The major question was whether the implementation of Shure and Spivack’s (1978) Kindergarten Interpersonal Problem-Solving Program (KIPS) would enhance the ICPS skills and behavioral adjustment of EMR children up to the level needed for successful integration into the regular classroom. The study included 40 EMR children from ages eight to fourteen. The subjects were divided equally into two groups, one receiving Shure and Spivack’s (1978) KIPS program and one receiving informal social skills training. These groups were divided further into a younger group, …

The Effect Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine And Scopolamine On Passive Avoidance In Chicks, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman
The Effect Of Para-Chlorophenylalanine And Scopolamine On Passive Avoidance In Chicks, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Four-day-old Vantress x Arbor Acre chicks were tested for key-peck passive avoidance (PA) learning following intraperitoneal injections of parachlorophenylalanine (PCPA) and/or scopolamine. In Experiment 1, chicks were pre-treated with either three or five injections of PCPA (150 mg/kg) or saline across the first three posthatch days and then tested for PA learning on the fourth posthatch day. In Experiment 2, chicks were first pre-treated with three injections of PCPA (150 mg/kg) or saline, and then injected with either scopolamine (0.5 mg/kg) or saline 20 rain prior to PA testing on the fourth posthatch day. Major findings were: (a) Chicks pre-treated …
Atropine Disrupts Passive Avoidance Learning In Young Chicks T, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman
Atropine Disrupts Passive Avoidance Learning In Young Chicks T, Bruce A. Mattingly, James F. Zolman
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Four-day-old Vantress × Arbor Acre chicks were first trained to key-peck for heat reinforcement and then tested for passive avoidance learning following an intraperitoneal injection of atropine sulfate or saline. Chicks injected with 1.0 mg/kg of atropine responded more quickly than saline-injected chicks when their key-peck responses were punished with aversive wing-shocks. These findings, therefore, are consistent with the view that cholinergic mechanisms are involved in inhibitory behavior in the young domestic chick.

A Comparison Of Book Choices Of Fifth-Grade Pupils Today With Those Of A Generation Or More Ago, Anita Sanders
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Questionnaires containing the names of ten books, two series, and spaces for titles to be written in were distributed to 482 fifth-grade pupils to obtain data on the following questions: Are trade books that were popular with fifth-grade pupils a generation or more ago maintaining their popularity: Which new titles of children's books have emerged and gained popularity? Are selected series books popular with today's fifth-graders? To what extent do reading interests of boys and girls differ at the fifth-grade level? Interest scores were computed on all titles rated by as many as ten subjects Only King of the Wind …

A Study Of Types Of Presentations & Materials Utilized In Selected Title I Math Programs In Kentucky, Judith White
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
Two groups of Title I Math teachers, one representing school systems which reported second and third grade student achievement gains of one year or more on the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills for 1978-79, and one group which reported gains of less than eight months, were surveyed in an effort to identify which methods of presentation and types of materials apparently contributed to the most successful Title I Math programs, in terms of student achievement gains.
A study of survey results indicated that a Title I Math pull-out program served by a teacher in groups of less than ten students …

Curry School, Bowling Green, Kentucky, and if significant differences did occur, were these differences related to grade level, IQ, sex, or reading achievement level.
Death Education In U.S. Medical Schools: 1975-1980, George E. Dickinson
Death Education In U.S. Medical Schools: 1975-1980, George E. Dickinson
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Surveys from 1975 and 1980 of U.S. medical schools' offerings in death education are compared. A 95 and 96 percent return rate, respectively, for each survey revealed a slight increase in offerings in 1980. A team approach is used, with physicians and theologians most often being cited as facilitators of a lecture/ discussion format.

The Impact Of Federal Regulations On The Small Coal Mine In Appalachia, Bernard Davis
The Impact Of Federal Regulations On The Small Coal Mine In Appalachia, Bernard Davis
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
The study addresses two specific issues influencing the production of coal from small mines: 1) the direct costs and other effects of government regulation and deregulation on coal operators in general, and 2) the effects of governmental policies on the productivity by size (tonnage) class of small coal mines. Appalachian Kentucky was used as the study area because of the wide range of mine firm sizes.

The Lchthyofauna Of The Big Sandy River Basin, With Special Emphasis On The Levisa Fork Drainage, Jerry F. Howell Jr.
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
A literature and regional repository review of the Big Sandy Basin ichthyofouno yielded 111 confirmed species, including 93 from Leviso Fork and its tributaries. Twenty-nine additional species were added to the lost published comprehensive review (Jenkins et al., 1972); one species was not re-confirmed. The 111 forms (108 confirmed or probable) included 14 known or suspected introductions and 20 species (including 12 recently collected from Leviso Fork) with special Kentucky Nature Preserves Commission status codes. The two most threatened Kentucky species were Percino macrocephala and Ammocrypto pellucido.
