The Effects Of Sex Role Stereotyping On The Educational And Career Choices Of College Students, Zahra Habibi

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The purposes of this study were : (1) to explore the differences in sex-role stereotyping between college students selecting traditionally sex-appropriate fields of study (Traditionals) and students selecting traditionally sex-inappropriate fields of study (Pioneers), and (2) to examine the differences between the two groups in terms of some specific factors assumed to be related to the development of sex-role stereotyping, i.e., specific parental characteristics, peer influence and school experiences.

Subjects of the study were 222 junior and senior students from 8 departments of the University of New Mexico. Four of them were assumed to be traditionally male dominated fields-namely, civil …

Television As A Source Of Stereotypes, Amy Lange Atkins

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of the research was to explore the manner in which culturally related images of Anglo-Americans projected by television were related to stereotyped attitudes in Mexican­American children in the Southwest. Previous evidence indicated the more personal experience one has with a cultural group, the less one might tend to believe the stereotypes projected by the mass media of that cultural group. This study was an extension of previous studies which examined the relationship between these variables.

Procedures and Methods

A survey of a sample group of Mexican-American children was conducted using a questionnaire-interview method. Data …

Needs Assessment Project For Clark, Coles, Cumberland, Moultrie, Edgar And Shelby Counties, Rose Mary Shepherd

Masters Theses

This project reflects the concern for maintaining and improving the quality of educational programs in the region to be comprised of Clark, Coles, Cumberland, Moultrie, Edgar, and Shelby Counties.

The establishing of this region of six counties was brought about by a change in the organization and structure of the Illinois State Education Agency. A State Board of Education was established and began a system reorganization which tended to decentralize the state agency into regional area service units. In Illinois, through the elected superintendent-leaders, the kind, quality, and extent of services provided by the Regional Offices of Education have varied …

Reduction In Force: An Analysis Of Procedures Used In The Roxana Community Unit School District #1 And Other School Districts In Illinois, Charles D. Conner

Masters Theses

The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors which led to a reduction in force and the procedures which were used in reducing certified personnel by 14% in the Roxana Community Unit School District #1 in 1976. The school board had used a RIF policy with which it was pleased, but which had made teachers unhappy. Was this just a natural reaction from any teacher organization or were the board and administration inadequately prepared for the major decisions made, when compared to the provisions and preparations made by other school boards across the state of Illinois? This question …

A Study Of In-School Suspension Programs In Area 7 Of Iowa, Stephen Darryl Glass

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Suspension has increasingly become one of the foremost problems confronting educational administrators in American public schools. The controversy over the advantages and disadvantages of out-of-school suspension has been on stage in the current educational scene. This conflict has evoked public skepticism and some intervention on the part of courts.

Educators have begun to develop in-school suspension programs as an alternative to out-of-school suspension. The major objective of in-school suspension is to have suspended students remain in the educational setting. This change in practice enables the school and community resources to be more readily used in remediating and facilitating the improvement …
