Teacher Conceptions And The Curriculum: A Longitudinal, Multicase Study Of College Chemistry Teaching., Charles J. Killebrew
Teacher Conceptions And The Curriculum: A Longitudinal, Multicase Study Of College Chemistry Teaching., Charles J. Killebrew
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Strategic innovations and interventions to reform college science teaching will be required to promote the retention and achievement of those students who might otherwise elect to defect at the entry-level courses. The extent to which this can be achieved will depend upon educational research into ways that the science curriculum can be restructured to accomplish the dual function of enhancing science literacy while promoting recruitment to scientific careers. To explore these issues, four introductory college chemistry classes were observed over a period of two years. The classes were designated either as traditional or conceptual. Selection into these categories was based …

Model-Driven Simulation Of World-Wide-Web Cache Policies, Ying Shi, Edward Watson, Ye Sho Chen
Faculty Publications
The World Wide Web (WWW) has experienced a dramatic increase in popularity since 1993. Many reports indicate that its growth will continue at an exponential rate. This growth has created a tremendous increase in network loads and user response times. The complexity and diversity of many WWW documents (e.g., texts, images, video, audio, etc.) and the diversity of user requested WWW information require sophisticated WWW cache management strategies. Several popular WWW cache algorithms perform rather poorly and lack mathematical or empirical foundations. As a result, WWW system administrators and browser users are forced to arbitrarily define certain important cache parameters. …
Orientation Effects On African-American Engineering Students: The Lsu Case., Forest Dent Smith
Orientation Effects On African-American Engineering Students: The Lsu Case., Forest Dent Smith
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Extended orientation courses continue to be introduced as curriculum offerings that assist students to persist in post-secondary institutions. Research on the outcomes of such courses in terms of student retention and achievement is, with regard to race, however, not proceeding at the same pace as orientation course research in general. The purpose of this study was to apply the attrition models of Tinto (1987) and Pascarella, Terenzini, and Wolfe (1986) and examine extended orientation as a contributing factor to the retention and achievement of African-American engineering students. The sample of the study consisted of 354 African-American students who were members …

The Moral Atmosphere Of The Elementary School And The Question Of Gender., Suzanne Beauclair Roy
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the moral atmosphere of the elementary school and ask: How does the elementary school principal contribute to the moral atmosphere of the elementary school? In addition to this question, this study also explored the likenesses and differences between male principals and female principals in regard to the degree to which the principal practiced either an "ethic of care" or an "ethic of justice." Four case studies were constructed using data collected from observations and interviews that were conducted in four elementary schools. Also, two female principals and two male principals were …
The Effects Of Sleep Deprivation On Information Processing, New Learning, And Memory In Mildly Head-Injured Subjects With Post-Concussion Symptoms., Brian Betz
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Subjects who had sustained a mild head injury (MHI) and uninjured control subjects were examined before and after 36 hours of sleep deprivation. MHI subjects and uninjured controls were selected from among individuals who scored above the 50$\rm\sp{th}$ percentile on the Postconcussion Syndrome Checklist (PCSC), a measure designed to assess the frequency, intensity and duration of postconcussion symptoms. Sixty subjects were divided into four groups: Head injured/sleep deprived, head injured/non-sleep deprived, uninjured/sleep deprived, and uninjured/non-sleep deprived. Performance was compared among the groups on the Selective Reminding Test (SRT) and the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT), which are designed to …
Fathers As Intervention Agents: Parent Training With Fathers Of Children With Developmental Disabilities., Deirdre West Russell
Fathers As Intervention Agents: Parent Training With Fathers Of Children With Developmental Disabilities., Deirdre West Russell
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Previous research on parent training with children who have developmental disabilities has typically failed to include fathers. Compared to research on mothers of children with disabilities and fathers of normally developing children, little is known about fathers of children who have disabilities. In the present study, effects of behavioral parent training on fathers' parenting behaviors (instruction giving, positive attention, and correct consequences) were evaluated. The experimenter trained four fathers of children with developmental delays in the home using written handouts, verbal instructions, modeling, and performance feedback. Training was directed at increasing correct use of fathers' instruction giving, positive attention following …
The Link Between Economic Restructuring, Economic Deprivation, And Serious Crime In American Cities, 1970-1990., Graham Christopher Ousey
The Link Between Economic Restructuring, Economic Deprivation, And Serious Crime In American Cities, 1970-1990., Graham Christopher Ousey
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This dissertation postulates that the economic transition from manufacturing to service employment is a major factor leading to high rates of economic deprivation and crime in major U.S. cities. By integrating theory and research from several substantive areas of sociology, I extend macro-level research in criminology and develop a social organization/social control explanation of city crime rates. I use both cross-sectional and longitudinal regression methods to investigate the direct and indirect effects of a city's industrial structure on race-disaggregated rates of homicide, robbery, and burglary. Based upon data from 113 major cities in the United States, I compute a series …
Everyday Problem-Solving Goals: Contributions Of Age And Individual Differences., Lisa Eileen Norris
Everyday Problem-Solving Goals: Contributions Of Age And Individual Differences., Lisa Eileen Norris
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of the present research was to examine the contribution of age and individual differences to everyday problem solving, focusing on goal preference. Three pilot studies were conducted to generate interpersonal problem solving goals that were high in emotional arousal and low in emotional arousal. In the Experiment Proper, 40 young and 40 older adults were given 6 vignettes depicting everyday problems. Subjects rated their preference of both high and low experimenter-provided goals. Subjects then completed 4 individual difference questionnaires that measured stimulation intensity, affect intensity, and emotional control. Results showed that both younger and older adults endorsed more …
Created Works, Created Selves: Intersections Of Genre And Self-Fashioning In The New World., Leonard Joseph Vraniak Jr
Created Works, Created Selves: Intersections Of Genre And Self-Fashioning In The New World., Leonard Joseph Vraniak Jr
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
John Smith, Roger Williams, and Thomas Morton created images of themselves to attempt to gain position in the New World colonial undertaking, and each uses techniques of specific genres to bolter those images. However, each demonstrates a different degree of self-fashioning. John Smith collects and republishes texts much like Richard Hakluyt did back in England. However, Hakluyt's collections just reproduced texts, while Smith mixed others' writings about his colonial activities with his own work, creating a hybrid text with Smith as the subject. Smith's emphasis upon individual effort mirrors one level of humanistic achievement that Europeans of his era were …
Ambivalent Idylls: Hardy, Glasgow, Faulkner, And The Pastoral., Stephan Randall Toms
Ambivalent Idylls: Hardy, Glasgow, Faulkner, And The Pastoral., Stephan Randall Toms
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Thomas Hardy, Ellen Glasgow, and William Faulkner used the pastoral mode to show the contradictions, inconsistencies, and dangers in some forms of bucolic idyll. The ambivalence of their texts toward the rural world causes many critics to deny or overlook the presence of the pastoral mode in the work of these three novelists. A study of pastoral literature reveals that its characteristics have never been as fixed as many theorists would like to believe. Pastoral redefines, subverts, and reinvents itself as it interacts with different people, cultures, and languages. The theories of Mikhail Bakhtin help us to understand textual ambivalence …
The Role Of The Unit As A Cognitive Bridge Between Additive And Multiplicative Structures., Nancy Sutton Alexander
The Role Of The Unit As A Cognitive Bridge Between Additive And Multiplicative Structures., Nancy Sutton Alexander
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The rational number domain is known for the great difficulties it presents for students and teachers. As students construct knowledge of fractions, they search for connections to existing knowledge. Procedures from the whole number domain are tried, but many do not work on the new numbers! Recent research has focused on the unit as a way to link whole number and rational number understanding (Behr, Harel, Post & Lesh, 1992). Studies have suggested that students intuitively form units (Lamon, 1994), and that this intuitive knowledge can serve as a foundation for rational number understanding (Lamon, 1994; Mack, 1990). Golding (1994) …
Predictors Of Nonadherence Among Hiv-Infected Outpatients: Psychosocial And Medical Care Factors Associated With Appointment Attendance., Sheryl L. Catz
Predictors Of Nonadherence Among Hiv-Infected Outpatients: Psychosocial And Medical Care Factors Associated With Appointment Attendance., Sheryl L. Catz
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Nonadherence to medical regimens is a critical behavioral threat to the health of HIV-infected individuals. Patients cannot benefit from increasingly efficacious treatments for HIV/AIDs unless they adhere to them. Consistent medical care plays a central role in prolonging life and enhancing quality of life for these individuals. It is therefore essential to understand why many patients do not return reliably for medical services. However, little research has focused on the development of empirically based models of HIV-related nonadherence. Thus, the primary purpose of the present study was to identify factors predictive of HIV-related nonadherence to medical appointments. Demographic, medical care, …
An Integration Of Biographical Data And Personality Research Through Sherwood Forest Empiricism: Robbing From Personality To Give To Biodata., Bruce W. Davis
An Integration Of Biographical Data And Personality Research Through Sherwood Forest Empiricism: Robbing From Personality To Give To Biodata., Bruce W. Davis
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Archival data was used to assess the effectiveness of incorporating biodata scoring into extant personality measures. Personality and biodata theories were briefly reviewed and several commonalities were noted. Hypotheses were developed for Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability, Agreeableness, and Openness to Experience. The first three dimensions were expected to predict absenteeism and all four were expected to predict turnover, and empirical scoring was expected to increase predictive validity. Data were collected from three samples (school bus drivers, bus drivers, and law enforcement) and three different personality measures were scored using England's (1971) vertical percent method. Results showed that two of the three …
The Screen For Adolescent Violence Exposure (Save): Development And Validation., Teresa L. Hastings
The Screen For Adolescent Violence Exposure (Save): Development And Validation., Teresa L. Hastings
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Increased interest in how violence exposure might relate to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other adolescent psychopathology has created considerable demand for an assessment tool to assist in this research effort. Though attempts have been made to improve the measurement standards for violence research on youth, available instruments lack adequate psychometric qualities, comprehensiveness, or an acceptable format for slow readers. The present study provided empirical evidence on the utility of the Screen for Adolescent Violence Exposure (SAVE), an instrument designed to both correct the deficiencies of previous measures and to assess violence exposure for school, home, and neighborhood settings. The …
Representing Shakespeare's "Brave New World": Latin American Appropriations Of "The Tempest"., Ximena Gallardo
Representing Shakespeare's "Brave New World": Latin American Appropriations Of "The Tempest"., Ximena Gallardo
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
Representing Shakespeare's "Brave New World" is a descriptive analysis of Latin American appropriations of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. The first part explores the written appropriations by Jose Enrique Rodo, Roberto Fernandez Retamar, Edward Kamau Brathwaite, Aime Cesaire and George Lamming. The second part analyzes four major dramatic appropriations of The Tempest: a 1989 production by the Chilean company El Conventillo, a 1994 adaptation by the Chilean company La Bordada, a 1991 version by the Venezuelan company Rajatabla and a 1992 production by the Mexican company Por Amor Al Arte. Representing Shakespeare's "Brave New World" also explores the connection between these …
Experimental Analysis Of Aggression., Bethany Ann Marcus
Experimental Analysis Of Aggression., Bethany Ann Marcus
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
In 1982, Iwata, Dorsey, Slifer, Bauman, and Richman developed a systematic assessment method to identify the operant functions of self-injurious behavior. In this study, the Iwata et al., method was used to assess the operant functions of aggression displayed by children and adolescents with developmental disabilities. Although researchers have demonstrated that aggression serves operant functions, there has been no comprehensive analysis of aggression using the Iwata et al. method. Twelve children and adolescents participated. The experimental conditions from the Iwata et al. method were replicated (i.e., attention, instructional demand, play, no interaction); also, a tangible positive reinforcement condition was included …
Technology In The English Composition Classroom: Freshman Composition Students Using The Internet To Plan Assignments And Conduct Research., Michael Allen Mccord
Technology In The English Composition Classroom: Freshman Composition Students Using The Internet To Plan Assignments And Conduct Research., Michael Allen Mccord
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The use of computer and electronic communication and network technology is becoming increasingly important not only in society in general, but also in the college-level English composition classroom. These technologies amount to what some researchers term "multilayered literacies" or "new grammars." However, there have been few systematic studies of how students actually use these technologies. The current research presents a descriptive/naturalistic study of how students both learn and use the new electronic technologies as they accomplish research for, and respond to, a college-level writing assignment. This study examines the use of computers and networks by eight case study participants in …
