A Comparison Of The Subtests Of The Gesell School Readiness Screening Test As Predictors Of Reading Achievement, Dolores W. Sapp
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The major purpose of this study was to determine which subtests of the Gesell School Readiness Screening Test are the best predictors of reading achievement. The procedure used was a stepwise multiple regression to determine which subtests were the best predictors of achievement for each reading section of the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills. Seventy-two students from four schools were evaluated for this study. Three testing instruments were administered to these students. They were the Gesell test, the Otis-Lennon test, and the reading subtests of the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills. The Gesell test consisted of eight subtests: Cubes, Name, …

Effects Of Classroom Setting On Self-Esteem In Learning Disabled Students, Drema G. Moody
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This study investigates the self-esteem of learning disabled students required to attend learning disabilities classes. Subjects were 35 7th- through 9th-grade, male and female learning disabled (LD) students. Nineteen of the subjects attended at least one resource LD class while the other 16 subjects attended mainstream classes. These groups were matched on intelligence quotients (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised) and reading comprehension standard scores (Peabody Individual Achievement Test) so that no significant differences between the groups, on these measures, existed. The Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (Fitts, 1965) was administered to all subjects, along with the closing question, "Does attendance in learning …

Interdisciplinary Speech Communication: A Small School Alternative, Betty Jo Hyde Welch
Interdisciplinary Speech Communication: A Small School Alternative, Betty Jo Hyde Welch
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Set within statewide scrutiny of new undergraduate programs, this article describes the creation of an interdisciplinary speech communication degree at a small university campus. The program was developed under constraints requiring little duplication of existing state programs and reliance on current faculty, facilities, and resources. The article explains how faculty from several disciplines planned a curriculum combining speech, English, computer science, modern language, philosophy, psychology, and anthropology. It outlines a structure built around general education, a communication core, and a student designed collateral emphasis area. The article also reports subsequent program growth and movement toward independent departmental status. It contributes …

An International Visiting Fellowship Scheme: A United States And Australia Program, Harry Irwin
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Centered on communication program development in Australia, this article describes an international visiting fellowship at Kuring-gai College of Advanced Education in Sydney. It situates the program within the growth of applied communication studies in Australian higher education, especially the advanced education sector’s emphasis on vocationally oriented curricula. The article explains how the fellowship brought United States communication scholars to assist with curriculum development, staff development, teaching, research, learning materials, library resources, and professional seminars. It also discusses recruitment, selection, institutional fit, and the eventual suspension of the program because of financial constraints. The article contributes to communication administration by presenting …
Ability To Discriminate And Pronounce Foreign Language Phonemes As A Function Of Age, Maria J. Correa
Ability To Discriminate And Pronounce Foreign Language Phonemes As A Function Of Age, Maria J. Correa
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Fifty native English speakers (ages: 3, 9, 11 and adults) were asked to discriminate and pronounce Spanish words. The Wepman Auditory Discrimination Test was administered to the subjects to assess their discrimination abilities in their native language. A training session using English pairs of words showed that five-year-olds improved in their discrimination abilities after training but three-year-olds did not. Pronunciation was scored by two native Spanish speakers. Analyses revealed that older subjects pronounced the Spanish words significantly better than did younger subjects. Similar results were obtained for the analyses of Spanish phoneme pronunciation. Moreover, analyses of discrimination abilities on the …

Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, E. Culpepper Clark
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, E. Culpepper Clark
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Reflecting on communication studies at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, this article questions whether a national field definition would meaningfully resolve local problems of identity, curriculum, and administrative recognition. It describes a department combining speech communication, mass communication, and linguistics, where student demand and public perception have made mass communication more visible than speech. The article considers possible unifying labels, including rhetoric and public communication, while noting practical limits created by professional tracks, degree requirements, community needs, and institutional expectations. It argues that departments will continue to be judged by what they do rather than by field labels, and …
Saving Communication At Suny, Albany, Kathleen E. Kendall
Saving Communication At Suny, Albany, Kathleen E. Kendall
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Describing a departmental survival effort at SUNY Albany, this case study recounts how the Department of Rhetoric and Communication responded when administrators considered dissolving it and redistributing faculty into other units. The account identifies several sources of vulnerability, including understaffing, faculty turnover, heavy enrollments, uncertain disciplinary fit within the humanities, and limited understanding of communication by campus colleagues. It also explains how student response, support from key administrators, faculty unity, strategic documentation, and a university wide study committee helped preserve the department. The case concludes with lessons about resource allocation, administrative location, collective faculty action, and the importance of building …

The Suny, Buffalo, Story, Charles R. Petrie
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Focused on the Department of Communication at SUNY Buffalo, this case study describes a prolonged administrative review shaped by budget reductions, declining student pools, public internal conflict, and loss of faculty lines. The department responded by arguing for communication’s student demand, disciplinary centrality, program quality, and relevance to the university mission, while also experimenting with resource plans, tighter requirements, larger course strategies, and use of part time professionals. When administrators proposed options ranging from phase out to program suspension or reorganization, the department issued an open letter addressing budgetary need, quality, centrality, demand, and internal strife. The case documents an …
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, John L. Sullivan
Toward A Definition Of The Field: Local Constraints And National Coherence, John L. Sullivan
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Focused on the University of Virginia, this article examines how local institutional expectations can shape communication programs more strongly than national disciplinary definitions. It describes ACA’s regional efforts to identify common goals, methods, and subject matter in the field, then uses Virginia’s movement from speech and drama to rhetoric and communication studies as a case of program adaptation. The article argues that attempts to mirror the full field weakened coherence, while a focused humanistic curriculum in public discourse better matched institutional priorities and improved credibility. It also emphasizes scholarship, external review, naming, faculty hiring, and relations with the Speech Communication …
Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson
Priorities For Program Survival, Stanley F. Paulson
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Written from a dean’s perspective, this article identifies factors that can strengthen speech communication programs during periods of budget pressure and program review. It argues that communication benefits from broad societal growth, employer demand for speaking, listening, interpersonal, and writing abilities, and strong student interest, but also faces economic retrenchment and possible overproduction of academic doctorates. The article recommends four priorities for program survival: high quality research, stronger relationships with other disciplines, balance between theoretical study and competence based instruction, and development of public constituencies including alumni and campus partners. It frames these priorities not only as defensive strategies but …

Developing Communicative Skills In Non-Native Speakers Through Dramatic Techniques, Madeline Brand
Developing Communicative Skills In Non-Native Speakers Through Dramatic Techniques, Madeline Brand
Association for Communication Administration Bulletin
Designed for language and communication instruction, this article presents dramatic techniques as a way to develop oral communication skills among speakers for whom English is not a first language. It describes the limits of grammar drills and formal classroom settings, then frames drama as a practical method for creating motivation, reducing anxiety, and encouraging meaningful speech. The discussion distinguishes drama from theatre and emphasizes activities that draw students into realistic interpersonal situations. Techniques include pantomime, dialogs, improvisation, role playing, interviews, choral speaking, and storytelling. The article presents these methods as tools for increasing student participation, social confidence, listening, cultural awareness, …

The Effect Of A Small-Stepped Computer-Based Program On The Graphic Output Of Chronically Asphasic Adults, Cynthia Rubin
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an especially designed small-stepped treatment program utilizing the Apple II microcomputer on the graphic output of eight chronically aphasic adults. The subjects manifested moderate/ severe to severe communicative impairment as determined by performance on the Aphasic Language Performance Scales (ALPS) (Keenan and Brassell, 1974) and were receiving management at the Communicative disorders Clinic at the University of Central Florida. Pretreatment status of each subject was measured via a visual and hearing screening. In addition, the Aphasia Language Performance Scales were administered as an indicant of overall communicative ability. Spelling …
