Reports By Native And Non-Native Speakers Of English On Their Strategies On The Cloze Procedure: Implications For Language Proficiency Testing And Language Learning, Thomas Emil Beck

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

This study utilizes an interview procedure to elicit self-report, or intuitive, data from a sample of native and non-native speakers of English, all university students, on their recall of their strategies on the cloze procedure. Interview procedures appear not to have been previously used in the study of behavior on integrative language tests. Thus the primary methodological goal of this study was to determine if the interview procedure would produce valid information of practical use both to language testing specialists and to language teachers. A second major goal was to determine how the use of strategies might differ among native …

A Study Of The Relationship Between Academic Promise Test Scores And Subsequent Achievement Test Scores And Course Grades At The Eighth Grade Level, Dallas B. Vaughan

All Master's Theses

The Academic Promise Test has been used to predict achievement over a three-month period. A study is needed to determine if the APT can predict achievement over a longer period of time (an academic year). This study is intended to determine how well the APT can predict pupils' achievement over a one year period on an achievement test battery and in terms of their average grades.

An Educational Attitudinal Synthetic Plane Placement Instrument, Felix Garcia Jr.

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of the study was to generate a heuristic Educational Attitudinal Synthetic Plane Placement (EASPP) Instrument composed of six major components: (1) the X Coordinate, (2) the Y Coordinate, (3) the eight apexes, (4) the eight octants, (5) the two diagonals, and (6) the clusterings. A quasi-experimental ex post facto design was employed. Thus, the EASPP was created by using a proven, abstract and conceptual attitudinal rating scale--the Kerlinger and Kaya Education Scale and an unproven, experiential and conceptual instrument--a questionnaire developed by this investigator. The intent was to marry a general conceptual and abstract attitudinal response to an …

An Investigation Of Holland's Theory Of Vocational Psychology, Dale Mitchell Johnson

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purpose of the study was to investigate questions which were generated within three basic areas of Holland's theory of vocational psychology with respect to a sample of technical-vocational students. The three phases of the study were related to occupational classification, personality consistency, and personality patterns as they relate to technical-vocational training success. A sample of 393 students majoring in eleven different technical and vocational fields were administered the Vocational Preference Inventory (VPI). All students in the sample were enrolled in, and had completed a substantial portion of their training in technical, vocational, and beauty schools in Albuquerque, New Mexico. …

The Effect Of Work-Study Programs On Certain Student Behaviors, Stanley Schneider

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

With the number of drop-outs on the increase, the federal, state and local agencies, as well as private industry, have become involved with methods of student retention. The Vocational Amendments of 1968 have given impetus to work-study programs of various types for the possible retention of these students.

The null hypothesis of this study was that the work-study programs examined do not change the characteristics of the potential drop-out which were used to identify him as a potential drop-out.

The study took place at North Babylon, New York. There a general work-study program known as the School to Employment Program …

A Survey Of Opinions Of Selected Principals Concerning Preparation And Characteristics Of Teachers For Junior High And Middle Schools., Lela Joan G. Brown

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The great majority of those who teach in junior high and middle schools have not experienced a professional preparation intended specifically for teachers of these grades. It would seem reasonable that the teachers for the junior high and middle schools should be prepared in programs specifically designed for teachers of these grades, programs that are distinct and different from either the traditional elementary or secondary type of teacher preparation. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the perceptions of principals of junior high and middle schools concerning what they felt to be important in the preparation of teachers of …

The Analysis Of Missing Data And Its Computer Implementation, John Phillips Grillo

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The major problem for investigation was to get useful information out of missing data, where missing data were defined as items not answered on a returned questionnaire. The author developed a scheme of analysis which can provide information not otherwise obtainable to a researcher using questionnaires. A model developed to categorize missing data was based on the reaction of the subject answering the questionnaire. The model rests on the notion the subject's avoidance reaction to the questionnaire item is his measurable attribute at that time. The mathematical development of the scheme of analysis uses the dichotomy of possible answers--the subject …
