A Submission For The Award Of An Associate Diploma In Health Education, Claremont Teachers College

Research outputs pre 2011

Health education is a process which effects changes in the health practices of people and in the knowledge and attitudes related to such changes. Education is an internal process for the individual concerned. He educates himself, even though his education is assisted by such means as contacts with health workers, appeals directed to him, information made available, clarification of issues, alternatives, and consequences as a basis for a rational choice. Education thus places responsibility on the individual and is essentially different from a compliance approach. It involves motivation, communication and decision-making. Planned education must take into account the relevant knowledge …

Students' Selected Reading Materials According To Interest And The Relationship To Comprehension, Carol Lynn Olson

All Master's Theses

It was hypothesized that there would be no significant difference between students' comprehension of a passage which was of high interest and students' comprehension of a passage which was of low interest.

Eighty-six high school students read two articles they indicated interest in and two they did not. Comprehension questions were answered on each of the four articles.

Of the 20 t tests conducted only two showed significant differences. This suggest that factors other than interest affect comprehension.

A Survey To Determine The Educational Needs Of Mexican American Students At The Mckinley Elementary School At Toppenish, Katherine Pfliger

All Master's Theses

This paper is a study, through research, of the findings and opinions of authors who have done intensive studies of migrants, specifically, the Mexican American migrants.

All Master's Theses

This study proposed to teach a group of institutionalized children with profound intellectual and developmental disabilities, functionally non-verbal children a gestural-cue language system.

Techniques of shaping and imitation were employed in the training of the subjects. Daily assessments were taken and recorded on 6 cycle logarithmic graph paper.

Of the 17 subjects involved in the study, 3 showed measurable progress and retention and were retained in the gesture program.

Recommendations included studies to further investigate the "sign" language medium as a means of communication for the severely and profoundly intellectually and developmentally disabled population.

A Multi-Sensory Approach To Teaching Spelling To Learning Disabled Children, Judith M. Meuleman

Master's Theses

Problem

Learning disabled children are receiving increasing attention, for despite an intelligence quotient within the normal range, they are not achieving in school as well as their peers. The reasons offered for this phenomenon seem to relate to perceptual problems. Specific learning disabilities occur in reading, arithmetic, spelling, handwriting and other motor coordination areas. This study investigates the effect of a multi-sensory method of teaching spelling to learning disabled children using sandpaper letters to utilize the tactile and kinesthetic sensory modalities.

Method

Unfamiliar spelling words were taught to 40 learning disabled children, 38 boys and 2 girls. The children were …

A Comparative Study Of The Vocabulary Of Five Basal Reading Series, Judith O. Young

Master's Theses

Introduction

Much emphasis is being placed on the teaching of reading today, and yet students are still needing remedial help. The author's interest in the vocabulary comparability of basal reading textbooks began when trying to place a remedial student into a corresponding level in another basal series—there was no way to know if the vocabulary levels corresponded.

Through professional discussions with others it was found that many had faced this same problem with two types of students: l) Those transferring to a new school from a school system using another basal series; and, 2) Those needing additional remedial help. This …

Relationship Of Perception And Production Of /R/ In Three-Year-Old Children, Gloria Schuck Bronsema

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Much of the literature suggests a relationship, still obscure, between the production and perception of speech sounds. Investigators of speech perception have, for the most part, studied children of school age. This study, however, was concerned with the production and perception at one stage of development, i.e., at the threeyear-old level. Specifically, this investigator compared the perception of /r/ and /w/ words. Two groups of three-yearold children, sixteen who said /r/ correctly (called the r/r group}, and sixteen who substituted /w/ for /r/ (called the w/r group} were subjects in this study. The eight boys and eight girls in each …

Deprivation Or Intimidation:A Study Of Social Influences On Children's Verbality., James Lewis Craig

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The deficit approach to the verbal abilities of poor children has attempted to show that the verbal acuity of these children is extremely low or nonexistent, and that this disadvantage is a direct result of factors residing within the poor child and his environment. In response to this, current research has indicated that poor children tend to develop dual registers of responsiveness: one essentially nonverbal and/or nonsensical for use in threaten­ing, authority-directed situations (asymmetrical), and one highly verbal and articulate for use in nonthreatening, informal situations (symmetrical). It is the contention of this investigation that data collection for the deficit …
