The State Of Mass Communication, Ellen Wartella

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article evaluates the state of mass communication as an academic field, examining its organizational, educational, and theoretical conditions in the mid-1980s. The discussion situates mass communication within a context of growing public, institutional, and industrial interest in media and communication technologies. Three major areas are identified. Organizationally, the field is experiencing departmental consolidation and debate over nomenclature as traditional speech and journalism programs merge into unified communication units. Educationally, enrollments are expanding rapidly, yet faculty shortages and an industrial hiring model threaten academic rigor. Theoretically, the discipline faces tensions between professional training and liberal arts orientations, as well as …

Communication Arts And Sciences In Transition, Douglas M. Trank, Sanuel L. Becker, Barbara Hall

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This study presents a comprehensive appraisal of the state of communication arts and sciences departments in U.S. higher education during the mid-1980s. Drawing on survey data from 373 institutions, the research examines departmental organization, faculty demographics, curricular emphases, and budgetary trends. Findings reveal a field in ongoing transition, marked by diverse departmental structures and naming conventions, frequent reorganizations, and the separation of traditional areas such as theatre, mass communication, and speech pathology into independent units. Faculty data indicate modest levels of tenure and continuing gender disparities, though representation of women and minorities is increasing. Salary levels and resource distributions vary …

The purpose of this article is to discuss major planning and development decisions required in order to use the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) method in the basic speech communication course.

A Comparative Study Of The Learning Styles Of Southeast Asian And American Caucasian College Students On Two Seventh-Day Adventist Campuses, Sally Lam-Phoon

The Relationship Of Exercise And Diet To Total Cholesterol And High Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol College Age Males And Females, William F. Rothschild

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries and is defined as a form of arteriosclerosis in which fatty lesions called atheromatous plaques form on the intima of arteries. The formation of these plaques begins early, within the first two decades of life, and may be started by damage to the endothelial cells and intima of the artery walls (Guyton, 1981). A number of factors may cause the initial damage, including physical abrasion of the endothelium, abnormal substances in the blood or pulsating arterial pressure on the vessel wall (Guyton, 1981).

There is a growing body of epidemiologic, genetic, experimental, and …

A Selected Cross-Cultural Study Of Piaget's Stage Theory Of Cognitive Development, Jie-Qi Chen

Graduate Research Papers

The large number of research studies which have been published on the cross-cultural implications of Piaget's cognitive development theory are extremely varied. This study attempts to classify them into three areas: sequence of cognitive development, rate of cognitive development, and the influential factors of cognitive development, in order to verify the universality of Piaget's theory and put forward some suggestions about educational practice. The review and analysis of related literature indicates that first, the universality of the sequence of cognitive development only deals with sensorimotor and pre-operation stages rather than concrete and formal operational stages. Second, the age of acquisition …

An Approach To Teaching For Critical Thinking In A Community College Health Science Curriculum, Donis Tatro Lewis

Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection

During a recent seminar on critical thinking at the University of Massachusetts/Boston, I described a workshop I had developed for faculty in a community college dental hygiene program. Later that same evening one of the seminar participants asked me, " ... couldn't one assume that by the time a student reaches the college level -- specifically a dental hygiene program -- there would not be a need to teach critical thinking?" Having worked with dental hygiene students for five years, I knew that this assumption could not be made.
