Mapping Literacy Achievement: Results Of The 1996 National School English Literacy Survey: Incorporating A Report On The Survey Principles, Procedures And Findings, Geoff N. Masters, Margaret Forster

Monitoring Learning

The national school English literacy survey conducted in 1996 provides the most comprehensive picture yet developed of the literacy achievements of Year 3 and Year 5 students in Australian schools. The most significant finding of the survey is the wide range of literacy achievement among Australian children. The top ten per cent of students in each year are working about five year levels ahead of the bottom ten per cent. This range indicates the complexity of the teacher's task in providing appropriate learning opportunities for all students, and the need for schools to reflect on the implications of this range …

Additionally, eleventh grade students at Auburn Riverside High School participated in the practice of this study with an integrated Pathways School-to-Work writing project and a district-wide writing assessment. Finally, unit overviews, student learning objectives, performance criteria, teaching strategies, assessment and student expectations, and instructional materials were adapted …

Multimedia Effectiveness In The Learning Environment : A Review Of Literature, Bruce G. Mckee

Graduate Research Papers

Multimedia Effectiveness in the Learning Environment: A Review of Literature examines some of the research and academic literature related to the use of computer-assisted instruction, hypertext, hypermedia and multimedia in the learning environment.

The author concludes by suggesting that the progressive teacher knows the importance of quality instructional design and will look for every opportunity to integrate appropriate multimedia into the learning environment.

Three Metaphors For The Competencies Acquired In The Public Speaking Class, Michael Osborn

Basic Communication Course Annual

The many skills taught in the basic public speaking class come together in three fundamental metaphors. The first of these, the speaker as builder, suggests we need to shape our surroundings through the spoken word. The second, the speaker as weaver, includes the arts of shaping symbols into the fabric of a speech, and of designing evidence and proofs into the tapestry of argument. The third, the speaker as climber, emphasizes overcoming interference. Barriers of fear, indifference, suspicion, and cultural variation recede as speakers and listeners learn to climb them.

Multimedia In Education, Shouh-Chang Chen

Graduate Research Papers

Multimedia has a role in education, because of its ability to present information in a format that interests the users. It can serve to complement traditional instruction. According to Luehrmann (1994), multimedia instructional software cannot totally replace the human teacher, because the purpose of education is not entirely academic. He further pointed out that schools not only provide the environment for learning, it also lets pupils interact and communicate with adults and peers. Multimedia can potentially offer learners the ability to access information in a appealing format without the direct presence of an instructor. This could reduce the cost of …

A New Direction: Internationalizing Communication Programs, Sue Dewine

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article describes a successful effort to expand an already strong program to include a focus on international education as well. With the founding of Ohio State University in 1804, and classes beginning in 1808, the first courses in what was later to become the School of Interpersonal Communication were offered. Logic, persuasion and rhetoric were three of the major and early oral communication study areas. The current school was predated by elocution courses in 1888, a School of Oratory in 1912, the Department of Speech and Dramatic Arts in 1930 and the School of Dramatic Art and Speech in …

New Curricular Categories For The Future: University Of North Dakota School Of Communication, Lana Rakow

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article provides information on new curricular categories of the University of North Dakota School of Communication, as of September 1995. The school historically has had a highly visible leadership role in the state of North Dakota, particularly with newspapers and broadcast stations in the state. Rather than limiting the possibility for change, however, its visibility joined other factors in making conditions for change favorable. The new curriculum streamlines the five into one, communication. This new curriculum is both mission driven and assessment driven. The new mission statement and goals for student learning set out the intellectual integration of communication …

Expanding The Pool Of Women And Minority Students Pursuing Graduate Study: The Development Of A National Model, Bernard W. Harleston

Trotter Review

The underrepresentation of women and minority students in certain disciplines in the graduate schools of American colleges and universities is a matter of great national concern. This concern has been intensified by the decline during the last fifteen years, especially from 1978 to 1988, in graduate school enrollments of all categories of American students. But, even before this most recent period of decline and during a time when the enrollment of women and minority students was at its highest (between 1968 and 1974, as a consequence, primarily, of the civil rights movement), the representation of women and minorities in the …

Applying Communication Studies In Hong Kong, John Lee Jellicorse

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

The article discusses the trends in communication education in Hong Kong, China. Since communication is labor intensive, the need for personnel is swelling rapidly. Obviously, academic institutions in the region are faced with a tremendous challenge to encompass these developments. The School of Communication at Hong Kong Baptist is attempting to meet the challenge. Hong Kong Baptist College, then a small, private diploma granting institution funded primarily from tuition fees, initiated its first program in communication. During the crucial period of its maturation from a diploma program to a degree course, the communication curriculum at Hong Kong Baptist was administered …

Communication Education Transformations: Implications For Curricular Change, Chris R. Sawyer, Phyllis Miller, Ralph R. Behnke

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article explores the implications of communication education transformations for curricular change in the U.S. Differences in education and training between public relations (PR) practitioners and journalists reflect, in part, effects of certain pressures brought to bear upon these professions. Any edge which graduates may have in the marketplace will depend on the extent to which their communication programs have focused on initial detection and measurement of related talents, skill development and enhancement, and discovery of communication-related careers that depend on the integration and application of these skills. With respect to faculty placement, infusing PR faculty into existing communication programs …
