Milingimbi Aboriginal Learning Contexts, Stephen George Harris

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The main purpose of this study is to provide information for teachers of Australian Aboriginal children about how learning is achieved 'n a fairly traditionally oriented Aboriginal society. The main stimulus for this study was the recognition that bilingual education is only one aspect of bicultural education, and that on its own vernacular literacy does not sufficiently capitalize on culturally conditioned strengths and expectations about learning processes. The research as necessary for several reasons: no detailed study of traditional Aboriginal learning methods has ever been conducted and most whit I Australians, including those teaching Aboriginal children, are not familiar with …

Understanding The Hypothesis, It's The Teacher That Makes The Difference: Part I, Jerome C. Harste

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Any explication of the essential components of an effective reading program will likely include a discussion of the teacher's role. Research findings have made it abundantly clear that the single most important element of an effective reading program is the regular classroom teacher. Many other factors are important, of course, but these research findings suggest pupil success or failure is most directly related to the "teacher variable" in the teaching of reading.

Evaluation Of Direct Instruction In Cloze Procedure, Iola W. Harding

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

In cloze procedure the reader must replace, with some degree of accuracy, the systematically deleted words. Responses to cloze deletions are influenced by the reader's understanding of syntax, morphology and lexical items.

Much of the cloze research which followed Wilson Taylor's first publication on the subject in 1953 has centered on methods of cloze construction as an evaluation instrument with emphasis on test validity, scoring and interpretation. Studies assessing the potential of cloze as an instructional device for improving reading skills are more recent and less conclusive.

A Survey Of Reading Readiness Practice, Marie Carducci-Bolchazy

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Practices in reading readiness programs vary considerably (Spache & Spache, 1973). In some programs the emphasis is upon language development; in other programs the emphasis is upon perceptual1 and/or perceptual-motor training. In fact, in some programs (e.g., Kephart, 1960; Frostig, 1961), little or no attention is given to language development, and even in programs that have a language-development component, some emphasis on perceptual and/or perceptual-motor training is common.
