The Meanings And The Distribution Of The Perfect In Present-Day American English Writing, Betty Lou Dubois

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

A search of the relevant literature and of textbooks of English for speakers of other languages fails to turn up a theory of the English perfect which is both comprehensive and fully explanatory. The author hypothesizes that the meaning common to all forms of the perfect of American English, which includes those forms traditionally called the present perfect tense, the past perfect tense, and the perfect of the infinitive, the gerund, and the present participle is priority to a point of reference. The perfect situates the action or state conveyed by the lexical verb in a period of time which …

Some Aspects Of Navajo Orthography, Wayne Stanley Holm

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Navajo has been written, in various forms, for more than a century, but practical orthographies have been available for less than fifty years.

Navajo literacy programs have been conducted in the past by various interest groups, but the current effort differs from its predecessors in that it has the support of a growing number of young Navajo educators. Vowel length, tone, ar1id nasality are phonemic in Navajo. The current practical orthography makes use of doubled vowels to mark length, an acute accent to mark high tone, and a cedilla or "nasal hook" to mark nasality. The orthography makes it fairly …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Teacher Perceptions And Bicultural/Bilingual Affective Interaction In The Classroom, Augustine García

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The Problem

Many school districts and teacher education institutions are initiating bicultural/bilingual teacher inservice training programs. Generally, these programs include two kinds of objectives. The first are "orienting" objectives, such as the development of cultural awareness and Spanish proficiency, to be achieved during the instructional period. Secondly, "performance" objectives are those which are assumed to be reached in the classroom, as a result of the achievement of the "orienting" objectives. This assumption has yet to be investigated.

Statement of the problem. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a relationship between teacher perceptions of the …

The Relationship Of Ethnicity And Socio-Economic Status To Student Perceptions Of School Bureaucracy., Thomas Henry Cloyd

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The central concern of this study was to investigate and analyze student perceptions of the school bureaucracy. The findings indicated a relationship between the student characteristics of age, sex, ethnicity, socio-economic status, and total effectiveness, and student perceptions of school bureaucracy. It was also found that students perceive the school more bureaucratically than did a panel of judges’ rating the same school.

Students in nine schools (three elementary, three junior high, and three senior high) in the Albuquerque Public School District served as subjects in this study. The schools were stratified according to the socio-economic status of the school population. …

Situations And Language: A Sociolinguistic Investigation, Rosalie Maggio Donofrio

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Statement of Problem

The purpose of this research is to begin to refute the deficit approach to the verbal abilities of poor children. It is the investigator's contention that data collected on poor children's verbal abilities was done in incorrect social situations. Current research indicates that language development is innate. Evidence now indicates, also, that "disadvantaged" children will be non-verbal and/or nonsensical in situations they see as threatening, while in non-threatening situations they display an adequate verbal ability. It is the object of this research to vary socio­linguistic variables, and create symmetrical and asymmetrical situations, in order to test the …

Multicultural Curriculum Training With Pre-Student Teachers In Language Arts., Martha Weidman Hubble

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Despite serious attempts to increase the educational success of minority groups, culturally diverse learners continue to fail to acquire the educational skills that allow for comforts afforded the majority culture. With stress on developing native and English language skills, important cultural aspects of minority groups' heritages have not been the primary concern. This study relates to two problems in multicultural education1 (1) the inability of teachers to relate to and understand. the culturally diverse learner, and (2) the dearth of teaching materials based on the minority group members' cultural heritages.

Randomly selected from 29 secondary education pre-student teachers in language …

PROCEDURE

Two hundred and twenty persons (or 110 pairs of parents) whose children were in bilingual programs in ten schools in the Albuquerque Public School System comprised the sample.

Anomie, Aspirations, And Delinquency: Implications For Education, John R. Schuster

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The problem of this study is how can youth who have accepted deviant behavior as a pattern be identified. This study investigates relationships among anomie, aspirations, delinquency, and educational achievement, and it theorizes that students who are not anomic, hold high aspirations, and achieve normally in school will not exhibit deviant behavior as a pattern. The antithesis of the theoretical statement is also proposed.

A Comparative Study Of The Relationship Of Self Concept To Achievement In Navajo And Anglo Children., Ronald L. Oldham

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study was undertaken to develop an empirical basis for the comparison of Anglo and Navajo children in the relationship of their self concept to their academic achievement. There is much research dealing with the way Anglo children view themselves in their interaction with family, friends and the school program. It was felt that additional research was warranted to enable educators to compare more accurately the attitudes of ethnic groups in these areas and better understand the impact of the total school program on academic achievement.

Organization And Administration Of Student Government - Particular Reference To Intermountain Indian School, Maurice C. Whitaker

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

The student council idea is now widely accepted in secondary schools in the United States; its full potential in contributing to the education and lives of students has not been realized fully in a great many instances.

The student council is a dynamic movement and because it is dynamic it is capable of change to meet new conditions. Hence, it cannot remain basically the same year in and year out. The changing dimensions of the student council can be realized only if students, faculty and principals work at it.
