Perhaps no other area of criminology offers the rampancy of opportunity for study as does the female offender. Increasingly, it is noted that crime by females is on the rise, not only in the "traditional” crimes usually associated with females, such as sexual offenses (usually prostitution) and theft, but also in more serious crimes such as homicide, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Essential Competencies Of Teachers Of The Gifted., Charlotte Ann Donaldson Jan 1977

Essential Competencies Of Teachers Of The Gifted., Charlotte Ann Donaldson

All ETDs from UAB

It is the teacher who sets the environment which inspires or destroys self-confidence, encourages or suppresses interests, develops or neglects creativity, stimulates or discourages critical thinking, and facilitates or frustrates achievement. -Joan B. Nelson and Donald L, Cleland.The competence of his teacher is a crucial factor in any child's learning, self-understanding, and social adjustment. Indeed, numerous studies have cited the importance of the teacher's knowledge, skills, and attitudes as the key to effective learning in all elementary and secondary educational programs. This project investigated essential competencies of one small but important segment of the profession—the teacher of the intellectually gifted.

The past fifteen years in this country have seen the perinatal period of human existence become the subject of increasing research. Perinatal mortality rates in the United States remain high by comparison with those observed in other developed countries of the world. This difference may be partially explained by the poor distribution of medical care and by less than optimum clinical implementation of available knowledge about pregnancy and parturition. However, in many instances the etiology and mechanisms of death before, during and immediately after birth are not well understood.

Effect Of Hand Dominance On Rate Of Learning And Bilateral Transfer., Memory Hammond Gleason Jan 1977

Effect Of Hand Dominance On Rate Of Learning And Bilateral Transfer., Memory Hammond Gleason

All ETDs from UAB

People generally have a dominant and a nondominant hand. Dominance refers to the ability to perform a task better with a particular hand [Hand preference does not necessarily mean hand dominance] (Rigal, 1974). For example, a child may show tendencies to be left hand dominant; however, his parents may insist that he use his right hand. As he grows older, he will use his right hand as his preferred hand, but in fact his left hand will be dominant. It would be advantageous to determine true dominance in order to provide more optimal learning conditions.It has been well established (Cook, …

An Analysis Of The Desirable Components Of Doctoral Programs In Educational Leadership As Determined By A Select Group Of Administrators., Suzanne Whitlock Morse

All ETDs from UAB

The role of the educational leader has undergone tremendous change in the last century. Modern society has placed new demands on the historically set role of the school administrator. The concerns have changed from ones of curriculum and accessibility to areas of accountability and finance. With the influx of these pressures and requirements, it has become mandatory that graduate programs in educational leadership become cognizant of the many new masks that the practitioner must wear.

Reference to diabetes mellitus dates back to about 3500 years to the Egyptians, who described a condition in which the victim, among other things, passed large amounts of sweet urine. It was not until 1921, with the discovery of insulin, that it was possible to control the disease. Medical science is still not able to cure this ancient affliction.

Maslow (1954, 1962) described the self-actualizing person as a person who is more fully functioning and lives a more enriched life than does the average person. The self-actualizing person tends to fulfill to the utmost his potentiality to be fully human and to gain the greatest potential and satisfaction in living. The term self-actualization refers to the process of making actual or real, of implementing or putting into motion, the potential resources of an individual.

The physiological, educational and psychosocial development of children is closely related to adequate visual functioning. Uncorrected visual defects can lead to more serious ocular damage. The distorted sensory information may hinder educational achievement as some 80 percent of learning occurs through the visual mode (Sherman, 1972), and inaccurate perception of one’s environment and the resulting inability to interact appropriately in educational and other social situations may result in psychosocial damage.

As portions of George Orwell's 1984 (1949) and Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock (1970) approach the realm of reality, it is possible that human learning in the future will likewise have characteristics that most people deem an impossibility today. Tomorrow's learner will demand accessibility to a variety of information relevant to his or her programmed courses of study. According to Goodlad, O’Toole, and Tyler (1966), tomorrow's learner will process more information at a faster rate and with more comprehension than does the learner of today. Future educators will be required to abandon certain segments of education as we know it today, …

All ETDs from UAB

The UAB drug abuse treatment team is faced with the very difficult task of planning the use of the program's various resources and predicting the outcome of treatment based on the information gathered at the point of admission to the program. This information usually consists minimally of demographic data and a detailed drug use history. The initial evaluative process is extremely critical and reflects the program's ability to meet its goals. The UAB Drug Abuse Program, in an effort to insure the accomplishment of its objectives, has become engaged in an assessment of several of its treatment modalities.

In the first quarter of the nineteenth century American religion was in a state of ferment. The gaining of independence had brought changes to the political order which required organized religion to re-evaluate its position. Nearly all the traditional churches saw the need to develop national organizations. Some churches, most notably the Anglicans, were forced to make structural changes because they had been tightly bound to ecclesiastical authorities in England. West of the Appalachian Mountains, where the traditional churches were weak or nonexistent, reformers were unchallenged in the spread of new ideas.
