Heg87-223 Understanding Grief And Loss, Herbert G. Lingren

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This guide defines loss, offers guidelines for dealing with grief and loss, presents psychological and emotional responses to loss, and describes ways to help people deal with bereavement.

Loss is defined as a "separation from, a detachment from something or someone of value." The magnitude of the loss and its meaning and value to the individual affects the intensity of a person's response.

A Parent Handbook For Primary Students With Learning Disabilities, Susan K. Busey

All Graduate Projects

When there is parent-school cooperation and coordination all will benefit, particularly the child. This project provides parents of the Selah School District in Washington State with information and activities in the academic areas of reading, mathematics, and written language, that will reinforce and strengthen those skills taught at school.

Metacognition As A Theoretical Construct: Its Nature, Origins, And Application In The Secondary Reading Program, Karen Collinge Carroll

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Metacognition is a theoretical construct used to describe a type of cognitive ability through which an individual assesses the range and quality of his/her own knowledge and is able to gain insight and control over particular aspects of his/her own cognitive and affective processes. Metacognition appears to be an important factor in development of higher level thinking skills, in acquisition of knowledge, and in reading comprehension. Because of its role in reading and learning, metacognition may prove to be an ideal construct on which to base secondary reading instruction, an area of secondary curriculum which is in particular need of …

Relationships Among Tasks Designed To Elicit Causal Understanding In Reading, Mary Monica Cassidy

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study examined the relationship between students' performance with worksheet tasks and story questions when used to elicit understanding of causal relationships. Additionally, performance of good and poor readers on these tasks was compared. The subjects for this study were 73 fourth-grade students from two midwest public schools. Students were designated as either highor low-achieving readers by their scores on the Reading subtest of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. Descriptive statistics and instrument reliabilities using Cronbach's alpha were obtained. A Pearson product moment correlation matrix for the tasks also was computed. Subjects' performance on worksheet tasks was also compared …

The three independent variables with three levels each were Program type (conventionally designed instruction, both conventionally and systematically designed instruction, and systematically designed instruction), Instructional component (instructional intents, instructional strategies, and instructional assessments), and Trainer type (professional trainers in manufacturing, …

The experimental group received instruction using the LEA which uses student written material to generate reading skill activities.

To verify effectiveness of the LEA, pre- and posttests of the Stanford Diagnostic …
