Effects Of Introducing A Unit On Consumer Mathematics Into A Seventh Grade Mathematics Class., Joann Mazzio

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The problem

This study introduced a nine week course of consumer mathematics in a seventh grade mathematics class in a consolidated junior high school in central New Mexico. The three hypotheses tested were that students in a seventh grade class taught subject content from consumer mathematics: (1) would learn traditional skills and applications involving decimals, ratios and percent as well as or better than another seventh grade class taught from the assigned text book; (2) would learn applications of arithmetic skills to consumer-oriented problems as well as or better than students taught from an assigned textbook; (3) Would undergo a …

Modeling And Cognitive Behavior: The Effects Of Modeling, Modes Of Modeling And Selected Model Attributes On Rule-Governed Language Behaviors, James Ivo Grieshop

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The effect of modeling on the performance of rule-governed language behaviors of 208 male and female, Anglo and Chicano, sixth grade students was experimentally investigated. These students, from four elementary schools, were randomly assigned either to a no-model control group or to one of forty-eight experimental modeling groups. Live, audio-taped and written models, who were (or were characterized as) either adults or peers and Anglos or Chicanos, modeled sentences in response to twelve pictorial stimuli. Each of the modeled sentences contained semantically related valuational-preference categories, a prepositional phrase and a relative clause. The six dependent measures were: Valuational Category, Other …

Affirmative Action: Quotas And Traditional University Standards With Particular Emphasis On The Role Of The Department Chairman, William D. Wheeler

IUSTITIA

The higher educational institution is often an exclusive citadel. Students are selected after close scrutiny of past achievements. Teachers as merchants of ideas, virtues, and cosmic thoughts are invited to membership only after certain academic passports have been acquired. These eligibility criteria are established by the faculty who, presumably, are the only ones capable of assessing reasonable standards for those seeking admission. Colleges and universities are closed sub-communities. They practice discrimination while giving lip service to liberal thought, knowledge, and enlightenment. It comes, therefore, as little surprise to clear thinkers that the house of intellect leads the parade of culprits …

High School Chemistry Teachers And Teacher-Student Attitudes And Perceptions Of Chemistry., David Boger

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

In an era that is most accurately described by its scientific and technological progress, one major educational problem is preparing young people to cope with an intellectual and cultural environment characterized by rapid change. In order for students to understand this rapidly changing scientific and technological society, it is assumed these young people should have some basic understanding off the sciences. Since high schools generally allow students some latitude in course selections, it seems appropriate to investigate why students are beginning, more and more, to refrain from choosing the sciences.

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 …

The Relationship Of Students' Perceptions Of School Bureaucracy To Student Alienation, Alfred Anthony Griego

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study analyzed student and school characteristics in an effort to see effects these characteristics might be having on students' feelings about school structure and alienation from school. Several student characteristics were compared with feelings about school structure perceived as bureaucratic. Identification of students by ethnic groups (Chicano and Anglo), socio-economic status (high, middle and low), and students' sex were considered important indicants of students' feelings toward school bureaucracy. Other characteristics operating within students themselves were studied as possible clues to how students adapt to the school's organizational structure. Students' feelings of personal "power" and acculturation to socio-cultural behaviors found …

A Study Of The Developing Elementary Teacher Education Program At The University Of New Mexico, Carolynn L. Reynolds

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The first major objective for this investigation was to study the historical development of the undergraduate program in teacher education in the Department of Elementary Education at the University of New Mexico. The second major objective was to show the direction in which the Department appears to be going along with a rationale for that movement.

In order to accomplish these objectives, the study was divided into three maJor areas: the history of the Departmental program (1962-1968), the current program (1968-1973), and the projected future alternatives for undergraduate teacher preparation in the Department.

Biobehavioral Correlates Of Perceptual-Cognitive-Motor Performance In A Sample Of Southwest Indian High School Students, Joseph David Blanchard

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of this study was to determine if biobehavioral correlates of PCM (WISC subtest) performance offered some promise in the diagnosis and prescription in the learning situation for southwest Native American students. The need for an approach of this kind was predicated on the effectiveness of current testing and labeling practices in "Indian education," and the fact that the southwest Native American student who attends off-reservation boarding schools is generally disadvantaged. Disadvantaged is defined as that state of anomie (Spilka, 1970) and poverty, malnutrition and disease, and family disorganization which char­acterizes the student population used in this study.

Political Manipulation And Educational Finance: The Relationship Of Superintendents And Legislators Longevity In Office And Interpersonal Manipulative Tendencies To Non-Formula Educational Expenditures In New Mexico, 1971-72, Koy Melvin Floyd

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The primary purpose of this study was to field test an application of Iannaccone's political linkage typology. Iannaccone conceptualized a state’s educational political linkage pattern by formulating a typology of educational­political processes. The fourfold typology includes the following: (1) Type I, Locally-based disparate, (2) Type II, State-wide monolithic, (3) Type III, State-wide fragmented, and (4) Type IV, State-wide syndical. Identifying New Mexico as a Type I, Locally-based disparate state, structural correlates were examined testing the general question, "Do interpersonal manipulative tendencies of political actors and/or longevity in the role influence the distribution of certain additional state educational funds?" Utilizing the …

Specifying And Justifying Educational Program Objectives, Walter Allen Ferrel

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The need for valid evaluation activities and the lack of a theory of evaluation or even a completely adequate evaluative model provided the impetus for this study. The purpose of the study was to identify the extant model which appeared to have the greatest potential for growing into a comprehensive model or theory of evaluation and to attempt to further its development. The Composite-Goal model was identified and this study focused on the problem of developing procedures to meet two unresolved methodological requirements of the model, (a) specifying the relative importance of program objectives and (b) justifying the selection and …

Bilingual Bicultural Educational Civil Rights:The May 25th Memorandum And Oppressive School Practices., James V. Gambone

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This dissertation presents an interdisciplinary approach to the area of educational civil rights and bilingual/bicultural education.

Chapter 1 provides a compilation of legal precedents that can be used in challenging existing oppressive school practices. The second chapter deals more specifically with the reality of oppression. Words and formulations in Washington take on new dimensions when they reach Beeville, Texas. The third chapter examines the goals and definitions of current bilingual/bicultural programs. There is the strong suggestion that these programs will continue to be ineffective as long as they remain within the definitional framework established by the oppressor. The fourth chapter …

The Influence Of Mode Of Presentation, Ethnicity, And Social Class On Teachers' Evaluations Of Students, Mary Katherine Jensen

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Previous research has shown both vocal and visual cues are utilized in stereotyping. Studies dealing with stereotypes in the classroom suggest that teachers' stereotypes of students' ethnic and social class backgrounds affect both their expectations for students and their evaluations of them. This study offers evidence toward the following questions: (1) Do teachers evaluate students differently according to mode of presentation, students' ethnicity and social class? (2) What is the relative importance of audio, visual, and audio-visual cues for teachers' evaluations? One hundred fifty-six Albuquerque Public School teachers served as subjects for the study. Fifty-two teachers each in audio, visual, …

Navajo Verb Prefix Phonology, James M. Kari

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The structure of the verb prefix system in the Navajo verb is clarified by a thorough generative phonological analysis of the morphophonemic alternations in the prefix complex. The intricate modal prefix alternations are presented in detail. Initially, an important internal boundary in the verb, the disjunct boundary, is demonstrated. The disjunct boundary is central to the formulation of a number of common phonological rules such as ni-absorption and vowel deletion, and it provides the organizing principle for a full structural statement of the mode system. A discussion of several pervasive, non-mode dependent phonological rules precedes the analysis of the verb …

A Study Of The Factors Which Affect The Job Satisfactions And The Job Dissatisfactions Of School Superintendents, James Paul Miller

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The present study was an investigation of the sources of job attitudes of school superintendents. The study sample consisted of forty of the eighty-eight superintendents in the State of New Mexico. Demographic data indicated that the sample approximated the national group of school superintendents along several important dimensions, including age, experience, and formal preparation.

The study utilized as its conceptual base the Herzberg Dual-Factor Theory of job satisfaction. The methodology of the study closely approximated that used in the empirical research reported by Herzberg, Mausner, and Snyderman. The presen1t study supports Herzberg' s thesis that the factors associated with job …

Child Language: Topicalization And Nominal-Pronominal Reduplication As A Function Of Language Universals, Language Development, And Language Situation, Eleanor Greet Cotton

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Nominal-pronominal reduplication, a frequently mentioned but seldom studied linguistic phenomenon often associated with lower class and minority group speech, is in actuality not a rarity but quite common in language worldwide. This phenomenon, exemplified by structures such as "My brother, he plays football" and "He plays football, my brother," exists in child language as a function of language universals, language development, and language situation. One of the relevant language universals, that of the process of topicalization, requires analysis beyond the sentence level and is commonly referred to as a speaker's choosing a topic of discourse and then commenting upon this …

A Cross-Cultural Study Of Conformity In Americans And Chinese., Lily C. Huang

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The present investigation intended to study conformity of Chinese and Americans in several different situations through three independent experiments conducted in Taipei, Taiwan and in Albuquerque, New Mexico, based on the paradigm adapted from imitation studies. From historical and anthropological analyses of Chinese and American cultures, as ·well as from more recent experimental studies, there were reasons to expect Chinese to be more conforming and their behavior more dependent upon environmental influences. Experiment One studied the effects of a model's task specific competence and general status on adult Ss' conformity in a survey-taking field situation. The results showed that Chinese …
