Decolonizing The Mind With Ngugi Wa Thiong'o And Chinua Achebe: Searching For A Voice In Postcolonial African Literature, Steven M. Almquist Dec 1998

Decolonizing The Mind With Ngugi Wa Thiong'o And Chinua Achebe: Searching For A Voice In Postcolonial African Literature, Steven M. Almquist

Theses and Dissertations

Any discussion of postcolonial African literature requires consideration of both the inherent diversity of “African” and the complex history of colonialism throughout Africa. Ngugi wa Thiong’o claims there are “broad affinities” among the diverse peoples of sub-Saharan Africa which allow for a broad discussion of the common experiences of colonialism, but it is necessary to complement these broad affinities with specific cultural references and historic contexts. This paper attempts to delineate some of the common struggles facing postcolonial African peoples by focusing on the specific writings of Kenya’s Ngugi wa Thiong’o and Nigeria’s Chinua Achebe. Though they are from disparate …

Test Of Variables Of Attention (Tova) Utility In Differentiating Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Subtypes, Steven Andrew Westby Nov 1998

Test Of Variables Of Attention (Tova) Utility In Differentiating Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Subtypes, Steven Andrew Westby

Theses and Dissertations

Research has indicated that Continuous Performance Tests (CPTs) can differentiate Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity (ADHD) subjects from controls without any psychiatric illness. However, CPTs have neither accurately differentiated ADHD children from those with other psychiatric disorders—nor differentiated subtypes of ADHD from each other. The Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA), a new CPT, has several advantages over its predecessors which may allow the TOVA to be more effective in this differentiation process.

Data from ADHD subjects was selected from children who were administered the TOVA as part of their evaluation for ADHD at Lakeland Mental Health Center in Moorhead, MN, the Child Evaluation …

The Epic Gilgamesh: A Pedagogical Study., Della Vanhuss Sep 1998

The Epic Gilgamesh: A Pedagogical Study., Della Vanhuss

Theses and Dissertations

Legends began to surface about Gilgamesh some two hundred years after he reigned as King of Uruk. Of Gilgamesh little is known except what was found in the Sumerian King's List, five or six poems, and in the Gilgamesh Epic itself. The epic has raised scholarly interest among those who would know more about this ancient and enigmatic character. The study developed out of a desire to explore the story in greater detail, and out of a curiosity as to how one would teach a class on the subject.I divided the study into three parts. Part one describes the background …


The Uncertainty Principle And Certain Uncertain Writers: Melville, Dickinson, Woolf, Atwood And Others., Catherine Ann Pavlish Sep 1998

The Uncertainty Principle And Certain Uncertain Writers: Melville, Dickinson, Woolf, Atwood And Others., Catherine Ann Pavlish

Theses and Dissertations

In the 1920s, a major paradigm shift occurred in the world of physics toward a more subjective view of the universe. Werner Heisenberg's 1927 Uncertainty Principle was especially important in this shift because he demonstrated that, in any experiment, the observer always has some kind of effect upon or "interference" with the thing being observed; thus, he complicated the boundaries that had been drawn between scientific objectivity and personal subjectivity, a position that has lead to a more uncertain knowledge of our world.This "uncertainty" has not gone unnoticed by literary critics and writers. Indeed, one of the more recent moves …

Understanding Choice As A Dimension Of Literature Based Reading Instruction, Barbara Wonder Olson Jul 1998

Understanding Choice As A Dimension Of Literature Based Reading Instruction, Barbara Wonder Olson

Theses and Dissertations

Literacy instruction is supported by educational theories of teaching and learning that put students at the center of the curriculum. In learner-centered classrooms students are actively involved in authentic reading and writing that allows them the autonomy to read and write for their own purposes. In these settings teachers share the responsibility for learning with students and create learning environments that support student ownership.

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate what happened in an elementary classroom when students were given literacy choices. This qualitative study provided an in-depth picture of literacy in a fourth grade classroom. It …


Temporal Lobe Transients And Prayer, Donald E. Newberry Jul 1998

Temporal Lobe Transients And Prayer, Donald E. Newberry

Theses and Dissertations

Persinger (1983) theorized that religious experiences involve the production of brief, micro-seizures that originate in the limbic system and affect the temporal lobes of the brain. According to this theory, ritual behavior could be used by individuals to induce micro-seizure activity. The theory predicted that an increase in alpha and theta activity in the temporal lobes of the brain would occur when subjects had a religious experience.

To test this, male and female Christian college students completed a Prayer Experiences Questionnaire inquiring about their religious experiences during prayer. Individuals scoring in the upper and lower 30 percent of the possible …


A Comparison Of Ratings On The Asha Functional Assessment Of Communication Skills For Adults And Scores On The Western Aphasia Battery For Individuals With Aphasia, Racheal S. Humphrey Jul 1998

A Comparison Of Ratings On The Asha Functional Assessment Of Communication Skills For Adults And Scores On The Western Aphasia Battery For Individuals With Aphasia, Racheal S. Humphrey

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between scores on the WAB and ratings on the ASHA Functional Assessment of Communication Skills for Adults (ASHA FACS1 for adults with aphasia. Twenty subjects with aphasia participated in this study with a mean age of 66 years. The ASHA FACS was completed through an interview format with the speech-language pathologist who was familiar- with the subject. On a different occasion, the WAB was administered to each subject.

A simple Analysis of Variance showed significant differences between the fluent and nonfluent subjects on all subtests of the WAB and ASHA …

The Development Of Psychometric Analysis Of An Error-Choice Test To Measure Teacher Attitudes Toward Students With Adhd, Thomas Michael Hepperlen May 1998

The Development Of Psychometric Analysis Of An Error-Choice Test To Measure Teacher Attitudes Toward Students With Adhd, Thomas Michael Hepperlen

Theses and Dissertations

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an increasingly pervasive psychiatric disorder among elementary school aged children. It is estimated that between three and five percent of all grade-school children suffer from this disorder. Because teachers are central figures in the academic environment of young children, any negative attitudes that teachers hold about ADHD could have a tremendous impact on the academic self-efficacy and success of students diagnosed with ADHD. An extensive literature review found no instruments designed to measure attitudes toward persons with ADHD.

The present study developed a psychometric instrument to measure teacher attitudes toward children with ADHD. This …
