This booklet is a compilation of individual departmental handouts available to students who want to know what career opportunities are available in their major.

Evidence From Science And Tradition Supporting A Two-Model (Evolution/Creation) Approach To Teaching The Origin Of Life, Robert P. Gardner

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

This study gathered material presenting flood traditions in agreement with data concerning models of origins, selected material for supplementing classroom mate­rials, and determined public opinion as how the subject of origins should be taught in public schools. Surveys recommend a two-model (evolution/creation) approach be taught within scientific limitations in public schools. Materials are available to promote this approach legally, fairly, and scientifically. Because of the evolu­tion model's inadequacies, a reinterpretation of equivalent data allowing for catastrophic universal flood concepts is needed. Part of this reinterpretation may be supplied by the canopy model, as well as the many worldwide flood traditions. …

The Effects Of Anxiety On Oral Reading Miscues, Marlene Sprain

Graduate Research Papers

Anxiety is a condition which is hard to define even though everyone has experienced it to some degree and at one time or another. One problem involved in defining it is to determine whether it is a long- or short-term characteristic. This is an important point because if anxiety is a long-term personality trait we need to find out which persons are anxious, how they got that way, and how they are coping with the condition. If, on the other hand, anxiety is merely a temporary state, we need to determine during which situations the anxiety is aroused and how …

The Fifth Grade Student As An Active Participant In The Selection Of School Library Books, Catherine Spada Mcleod

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine if fifth grade students could be consistent and productive participants in the process of selecting books for a school library. Forty-six students completed a Reading Interest Inventory and participated in a book selection activity.

Chi-square test results did not support the hypothesis that there would be no significant difference between the results of these two selection activities. Student perceptions of their involvement in this process were also included.

The Establishment Of A Student Self-Scheduling System At Greenville High School, Bill Wells

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study is to explain the mechanics involved with a scheduling system which will reduce student schedule changes and promote a smoother start to the academic school year.

Qualitative Evaluation Concepts And Cases In Curriculum Criticism / Willis, G., Ed., Mccutchan, Berkely, 1978, I. Kerr

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

In the introduction to the book Qualitative Evaluation the editor, George Willis, provides a careful analysis of the nature, potential and limitations of qualitative evaluation. The format of the book is such that the initial readings elaborate on aspects of his analysis. Then follows the case studies which chronicle a large variety of educational situations, the reports of which further elucidate one's understanding of qualitative techniques. The final chapters of the book are designed to synthesize the facets of qualitative evaluation presented in the case studies and to give some perspective to the functions of criticism in the field of …

The Educational Impact Of American Church Missionaries On The Educational Programs Of Iran (1834-1925 C.E.), Mansoor Soleimani

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The Problem. The present study is an historical study of the educational impact of American church missionaries in the 19th and 20th centuries on the educational programs of Iran. Western church missionaries, particularly Americans, were among the earliest foreign influence to affect the Iranian educational programs. Traditionally, education has been important in Iran's recorded history of 3,000 years. In old and medieval Iran, customs and religious laws were the prevailing systems that influenced individual and group behavior. They also dictated educational policy. When mosques were built under the Muslim faith they became the chief centers of schooling. This type of …

The Maligned And Misunderstood North American Badger, Richard Lampe

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The common though highly elusive North American badger is seldom seen and often misunderstood. When badgers are encountered by man, the experience is frequently startling to both parties. Impressions based on such limited and stress-filled information are biased. For example, it is widely believed that this member of the family Mustelidae (which also includes skunks, otters and weasels) is vicious, mean and aggressive. However, personal experience with badgers gained from studies over the past 10 years indicates that, although quite capable of defending themselves, badgers are shy, secretive and good bluffers.

Roots, Richard F. Trump

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

When I found a way of giving my students a better view of what goes on underground, they started asking better questions, and they found better ways of answering those questions. That was the most exciting aspect of some work I was doing for the Agricultural Research Service (ARS). My assignment was to find ways of using, in the classroom, some of the techniques developed by Dr. Howard Taylor and his associates at Iowa State University involving investigations into root growth.

Trailing The Trilobite, Joseph H. Brown

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Rocky ledges jutting forth to form stony outcrops along -Iowa's streams, roadcuts and hillsides provide evidence of ancient environments entirely different from the rolling prairies of today. These rocky ledges were laid down in the bottoms of vast shallow seas which covered most of Iowa in its past history. Over great lengths of time, the waters swept back and forth, rising and subsiding, leaving a record in the layers of the earth's materials deposited in their depths. As the seas rose and fell, the deposits buried one another and became layers of conglomerate, sandstone, shale and gypsum. Minerals of calcite, …

A Study Of The Relationships Between Measures Of Fluid And Piagetian Intelligence, James Ray Hurley

Graduate Research Papers

Francis Galton (1869) was the first to suggest the scaling of human general intelligence, distinguishing fourteen grades ranging from the most illustrious and eminent to imbeciles and idiots. He sought to show that such intelligence was mainly hereditarily determined, although he was awe.re that most brilliant individuals were reared in intellectually stimulating environments. Charles Spearman, an officer in the British Army and a man of great military tradi tion, likewise became interested in the nature of intelligence. Comparatively late in life he became a professor at the University of London, where he built a world-famous psychological research center. Spearman asked …
