The Effect Of Attending Behavior Training Upon Learning, Martha Sue Peden

Dissertations and Theses

Various studies have been implemented concerning the physiological and psychological components of attending behavior, particularly in the area of the exceptional child. Little has been done, however, to develop specific behavioral definitions of attending behavior and to incorporate these into treatment-based research programs involving normal children attending a regular public school.

The purpose of this investigation was to discover if children from a regular public elementary school who are deficient in attending behavior skills can be taught these skills in a short-term behavior modification program and to determine if the skills thus learned facilitate learning within the regular classroom setting.

High School Students Achievement Of College Level Work Through The Phase Achievement System (Pas), Dwight D. Lassen

Theses and Dissertations

Senior high school students in a Human Biology course were given college level work through the Phase Achievement System (PAS), a biology course at Brigham Young University (BYU). Statistical analysis showed significant growth in high school student learning through the PAS. When ability to work with PAS was measured, significant differences between the high school and college groups were not evident. A high percentage of college and high school students dropped out of the PAS, probably becasue students could fail at the PAS without experiencing academic failure.

The Effects Of Certain Group Guidance Procedures Upon The Attitudes Of Selected Eighth Grade Students Toward School, Self & Family, Donald Nall

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

There is considerable evidence indicating great interest on the part of school counselors in the use of group procedures, but their reactions are mixed as to the effectiveness of such procedures. One reason for these mixed feelings is that many counselors question whether the group approach is a natural and appropriate way of being helpful to young people.

This study was made in an effort to measure the effect of group guidance activities upon the attitudes of certain selected middle school students. A planned group guidance program was initiated. Eighth grade students were divided into a control group (N=56) and …

An Approach To Graduate Education With The Naval War College, Paul D. Barrish

Theses and Major Papers

Defining positions af actors in a systematic representation of the real world can always be faulted; any reductive representation risks oversimplifying complex factors and interrelationships. In recognition of this shortcoming, a test of outcomes must be held in the real world to validate analytical hypothesis. The primary goal of this paper is to examine some contemporary management theories in assessing motivation of Naval War College (NWC) students. Their needs for accredited higher education are assessed using a limited survey; functional requirements of the NWC are compared with student held values as perceived by the author.
