Teacher-Child Language Interactions As Affected By Changes In The Behavior Of Selected Children Following The Training Of Their Mothers, Floyd Eugene Haberkorn

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purposes of this study were: (1) to change the behavior of selected children by training their mothers to implement an interaction style known as the professional response through providing corrective feedback, pointing out salient attributes, supplying elaboration and extending knowledge and (2) to assess the effects of those behavior changes on teacher-child language interactions. The null hypothesis stated that following the training of experimental group mothers, their children's interactions with the teacher would not differ significantly from those of control group children whose mothers received no training. Ten "low interaction" pupils were identified through observations of teacher-child language interactions …

Relationships Between Progressivism, Traditionalism, Dogmatism, And Philosophical Consistency In Selected Urban Secondary And Elementary School Teachers., Lewis M. Brown

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study was concerned with the delineation of relationships among teacher attitudes on progressive and traditional teaching ideologies, personal philosophical orientation, and degree of individual differences in openness or closedness of belief systems. More specifically, a relationship was sought between a particular teaching ideology, progressivism, and a particular personal philosophical orientation, existentialism, with the expectation that one may be indicative or perhaps predictive of the other.

The Development And Preliminary Testing Of A Theoretical Spanish Language Instructional Model For Bilingual Education, George A. GonzáLez

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The Problem

The education of the Spanish-speaking Mexican-American child has been the concern of educators and governmental agencies due to his limited knowledge of the English language, low achievement in the subject areas, negative self-concept, and generally slower educational progress in the schools. Bilingual education has been implemented as one alternative in seeking to improve educational opportunities for this minority ethnic group. The preparation of bilingual classroom teachers to impart instruction through the Spanish language - a language in which the majority of these practicing or potential teachers have not received formal professional training - has posed several problems. A …

A Spanish Language Arts Program For Spanish-Speakers In Levels Three And Four, Helen D. Blanco-Lamont

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of this study has been to construct a Spanish language arts program for Spanish-speaking students in levels three and four, or ninth and tenth grades, depending on the students' previous language experiences.

A survey of the literature seemed conclusive in stating that many Spanish-speaking students in the United States become functional illiterate or drop-outs under our educational system. The research which has been done on this subject led to the conclusion that Spanish­speaking students are not being offered the necessary educational opportunities which are essential for them to take their place in the mainstream of society.

Many Spanish-speaking …

To identify the attitudes and wishes of parents about the use of Spanish in the public school, and about the formal teaching of Spanish.

From Teacher To Principal: The Rites Of Passage, Jerome J. Miller

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study dealt with the upward movement of aspirants from the role of teacher to the role of principal. The Hall's movement was viewed from the context of Van Gennep's "rites of passage" and sponsorship. Van Gennep conceptualized the movement from one role to another in three stages. These stages are: (1) separation, (2) transition, and (3) incorpora­tion. Sponsorship is a mechanism for organizational control and serves as a mechanism to facilitate or hinder movement within the organization.

The findings of the study suggest that sponsors with­in the school system resemble the elders of the tribe. By right of their …

Effects Of Dictation And Transcription Instruction On Transcription Errors In Beginning Shorthand, Jean A. Berch

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Lloyd (1972) suggested the importance of simulating realistic business conditions in the classroom to strengthen vocabulary in specific content areas to aid students in the dictation-transcription process. In addition, Turse (1961) also emphasized the fact that students must be able to apply "word sense" when transcribing if they are to retain the correct meaning of the sentence when substituting words of similar meaning for missing shorthand outlines.

The purpose of this study was to determine if various types of instructional techniques given prior to dictation and transcription aid students in reducing their number of transcription errors. Subjects were assigned to …

The Resocialization Of Beginning Teachers., Roy D. Caton

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of the study was to attempt to understand the process of beginning teacher resocialization. Resocialization was defined as beginning teacher adoption of experienced teacher values over time. It was anticipated that the beginning teachers would find their entering values unsupported in the school environment and that beginning teacher resocialization would occur. The major thrust of the study was to search out relevant variables related to this process. Thus potential generalizations from the literature were identified. From the generalizations identified, three key constructs were tentatively formed. These constructs were: (1) beginning and experienced teacher value differences, (2) experi­ence, and …

Problems Of Assessing Bilingualism In Children Entering School., John Wesley Hollomon

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Recently, much emphasis has been placed on bilingual education, but little has been placed on the problems inherent in the assessment of the bilingual communicative competence of children at the time they enter school. It was often assumed that, because a Spanish surnamed child came from a home in which either or both parents spoke to him in Spanish, he entered school speaking both Spanish and English, perhaps, more Spanish than English. Since the causes and effects of bilingual schooling are to be found outside the school, it was important to take these into consideration. The extent to which the …

An Evaluation Model For Computer-Based Educational Management Information Systems, Robert E. Hall

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study began with the problem: How does one effectively evaluate a computer-based educational management information system (C. -B. E. M. I. S.)? The primary objectives of the study were (1) to develop an evaluation model that would effectively evaluate a C. -B. E. M. I. S., and (2) to test the model by evaluating New Mexico's Vocational-Technical Information System (V. -T. I. S.). The evaluation model developed in this study was couched in an "open system" frame of reference and incorporated three important notions about evaluation: (1) that evaluation is an ongoing process; (2) that evaluation facilitates problem-solving; and …
