Five Strategies For Teaching Vocabulary As A Process, Nancy L. Hadaway, Viola Florez

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Building vocabulary is an important component of any reading program; it is a crucial comprehension skill. In fact, Davis (1968), in an analysis of comprehension skills, found word knowledge to be the key factor in comprehension. However, vocabulary has often been relegated to a secondary position in the scheme of language development, and no real systematic program for vocabulary building in reading or language arts course really exists (0' Rourke, 1974). Additionally, the approaches to vocabulary study have long emphasized product over process (Brooks, 1986). Students have been presented with long lists of often unrelated terms that they could study …

Instruction Of Reading Study Skills In Four Academic Content Areas Of California Secondary Schools, Judith Chibante Neal

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the status of instruction of reading study skills as revealed by a state-wide survey of teachers. The problem was: To what extent are academic content area teachers in California secondary schools providing instruction in reading study skills as part of their instruction program? An analysis of the problem yielded eight questions related to the perceptions and practices of teachers in the four content areas of English, mathematics, science, and social science. Eleven hypotheses were proposed related to possible differences among sub-groups of teachers. The research was descriptive in nature and employed a …

An Ret/Systems Dialectic Metatheory, Michael Tallman

Graduate Research Papers

The proponents of individual therapy and family systems therapies advocate their respective approaches as the preferred modality. The case is frequently presented as dichotomous: either therapy works with individuals (whose interpersonal relationships are viewed as relevent) or it deals with systems (Massey, 1986). The purpose of this research paper is to integrate an individual therapy, specifically Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET) within a systemic framework. A theoretical approach, Dialectical Metatheory in Family Therapy (Weeks, 1986), accomodates [sic] this individual/systems perspective by transcending this dichotomy and eliminating the polarization of an either/or thinking.
