The investigation centered around the ability of the students to express themselves through the development of a sculptural form. The teacher's role was to assist the student identifying, expressing, and evaluating his individual goals against those goals established by the teacher. Instructional goals …

The resultant profiles from the Vocational Preference Inventory scores were compared. The profiles and the profile interpretations of the effective teachers and the most effective student teachers were much more similar than those of the effective teachers and the least effective student teachers.

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 …

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 …

Replication: A Teaching Technique And Its Impact On Student Open-Closedmindedness, Dale H. Decker

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The problem for the study was the lack of research on the effect of the empirical replication technique on student closed-mindedness. The replication technique requires the student to repeat, or replicate, studies originally conducted by social scientists. In this sense, replication is roughly analogous for the social sciences to what laboratory experiments are for the natural sciences. Additionally, the relationship between college student adjustment-maladjustment and open-closed-mindedness were explored while controlling for sex and academic achievement.

The control group (N=61) attended two lectures and a discussion section per week which dealt with introductory social science materials. The experimental group (N=85) was …

An Alternative Analysis For The Situational Attitudes Scale, Charles G. Eberly

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

A re-analysis of the Situational Attitudes Scale (SAS) was conducted to investigate lts generality, validity and reliability and to suggest a more conservative method of analyzing the data. Three forms of the SAS were developed under the name Situational Attitude Inventory. Forms A and B corresponded to the originals; they tested attitudes toward whites and blacks, respectively, in varying social situations. Form c was developed to test the validity of the social situations for differentiation among alternative referents, which included welfare, age, ethnicity, and physical characteristics. The SAS was administered to a random sample of new freshman and transfer students …

A Program For The Training Of Elementary Art-Music Teachers, Edward A. Boynton

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The writer has had experience as a supervisor of music at the elementary and secondary levels. This experience combined with the development of courses to suit the program for an elementary teacher training institution provided the background for the development of this project.

The problem, as it appeared to the writer, was that in spite of valiant efforts on the part of music supervisors and art teachers’ elementary students did not comprehend music or art as an aesthetic whole. The methods in use, in most Maine schools, presented the arts as a technical skill to be mastered by the student …

Teacher Effectiveness:A Study Of The Relationship Between Teacher Personality Characteristics And Anxiety In Elementary Pupils., Ervin F. Holle

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

From the theoretical and research literature on personality, interaction and teacher characteristics, a general hypothesis was formulated:

Personality maladjustment of a teacher generates personality maladjustment in the pupils in that teacher's classroom resulting in the pupils' failure to incorporate appropriate information and the maintenance of a state of high anxiety.

Reformulated operationally the hypothesis became: Personality maladjustment of a teacher, as measured by the MMPI, results in the maintenance of high levels of anxiety, as measured by the Sarason anxiety scales, in the pupils of that teacher's classroom.

Forty teachers responded to the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and were scored …

Some have investigated health and safety misconceptions, while others have reported various testing procedures. Studies involving all populations {general public, elementary, secondary, and college students) have pointed out existing inadequacies in health knowledge and the prevalence of health misconceptions. As a result, the writer felt the need to investigate and measure the prevalence of health misconceptions among teachers.

A Comparison Of Emphasis Of Training And On-The-Job Effectiveness Of Media Personnel, Roy E. Williams

All Master's Theses

It has long been recognized in our society that formal training plays a strong role in the development of attitudes, and that attitudes are important determinants of behavior. Consequently, the behavior of one whose formal training has been oriented in a particular direction is often somewhat different from the behavior of one whose training has been oriented in a different direction. Does the training orientation of instructional materials personnel affect their on-the-job effectiveness? Will a person who is primarily oriented toward print materials be more or less effective in promoting the use of instructional materials than one whose orientation is …
