Review And Analysis Of The Nine Model Programs In Elementary Teacher Education With Synthesis For Application In Field Experiences, Wayne C. Erickson

Theses and Dissertations

The Problem

This study had as its purpose the review and analysis of nine Models for elementary teacher education. These Models were Phase I of a USOE Elementary Teacher Education Project. Considerations for preliminary analysis for this study were to determine:

1. 1. What were the Models' conceptions of a teacher?
2. 2. What program content and curriculum strategies were proposed for preparing a teacher of this description?
3. 3. In what ways did the Models provide for matching of training procedures with student character?
4. 4. How did the Models accept the challenge of relating teacher education with the field?
5. 5. To what …

The Influence Of Curiosity On Intentional And Incidental Learning, Richard L. Metzger

Theses and Dissertations

Previous research has indicated that the level of curiosity of an individual is related to the amount of information which that individual can acquire incidentally. The present study was conducted to test two hypotheses: (a) High curiosity children will learn more material incidentally than low curiosity children, and (b) the level of curiosity will effect intentional learning.

Twenty-eight fifth grade students (14 high curious, 14 low) were selected as subjects from a pool of 77 on the basis of scores attained on the Penney and McCann (1964) Children’s Reactive Curiosity Scale. The intentional learning task was a paired-associate presentation of …

The Relationship Of The Self-Concept And The Reflected Ideal Self To Various Components Of Friendship, Dennis L. Johnson

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation was designed to examine some of the rela tionships between self-concepts, evaluations by others, and friendship. It was hypothesized that a person who is seen by a second person similarly to the way the first person would like to see himself will be more likely to form friendships with the second person, and more likely to see him as ego supportive than when such similarity does not exist. It was also predicted that people who see themselves as being quite different from the way they would like to be (unfavorable self-concepts) will be more likely to be involved …

A Multidimensional Scaling Approach To Interperson Similarity And Attraction, Brenda Gryting Heltne

Theses and Dissertations

The intent of this investigation was to determine what judgment strategies are actually employed when judging the similarity of individuals, and the relationship of similarity estimates to a rated attraction index. The Stone-Coles (1970) multidimensional scaling technique was utilized. The input was based on the estimates of interperson similarity made by 16 pledges of a sorority. Each pledge also ranked the attractiveness of the other 15 pledges.

The four factor-dimensions which emerged from the judgmental data, similarity estimates, were interpreted as "dating conservatism-liberalism," "sociability," "non-dependability-dependability," and "dominance-submission". Only the "sociability" and "dominance-submission" dimensions were found to be linearly related to …

Aggressive Behavior As A Function Of Trait Anxiety, Anger And Sex, Brian A. Middleton

Theses and Dissertations

The relationship between trait anxiety and physical aggression was investigated. Two additional variables, sex and anger level of the Ss were considered. It was hypothesized that males would express more aggression than females and that angered Ss would be more aggressive than nonangered Ss. No hypotheses were made concerning the relationship between trait anxiety and physical aggression.

Seventy-two undergraduates at the University of North Dakota were selected as Ss. A 3x2x2 factorial design was used with three levels of anxiety and two categories of anger and sex. Six Ss were assigned to each treatment condition. Trait anxiety was defined by …

The Effects Of Instant Visual Feedback Of Congruence In Group Counseling, Jack E. Brown

Theses and Dissertations

Problem

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of immediate feedback of congruence by subjects in group counseling. Measures of outcome included the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS), Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientations-Behavior (FIRO-B), the Tentative Scale for the Measurement of Genuineness and a time measure of the relative amount of time that the focus of attention within the groups was perceived to be congruent, incongruent or neutral.

Procedure

There were two studies with twenty-three subjects in the first study and twenty-five subjects in the second study. The subjects were volunteer university students who were randomly assigned to one …

A Methodological Comparison Of Interview And Behavioral Techniques For Assessment Of Conservation Of Length, Richard E. Harder

Theses and Dissertations

Piaget (1929) contends that a verbal interview is the only procedure which is flexible enough to follow and examine the development of cognitive processes in children. However verbal methods are inconsistent with the suggestion by Piaget (1951, 1963) and several colleagues (Furth, 1964, 1966; Sinclair-de-Zwart, 1969) that language merely reflects underlying cognitive processes, and is not a source of logical development. In addition verbal methods allow for verbal misunderstandings by both subjects and experimenters, provide for experimenter bias and may foster response sets.

To minimize these theoretical and methodological difficulties, several investigations (e.g., Braine, 1959, 1962; Sawda & Nelson, 1968) …

Mass Production As A Basis For Content In Industrial Arts, Ernest Breznay

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis was to critically analyze the factors involved in mass production and to develop an instructional system for mass production based on behavioral objectives.

The critical analysis of major factors in mass production involved a review of industrial literature and professional journals in industrial education. An instructional system for mass production was developed from information revealed in the review of literature and an experimental study of the system was conducted at the junior high level.

A Correlation Of Academic Achievement As Measured By The Iowa Tests Of Educational Development With Success Of Varsity Players In Football In Iowa High Schools, Thomas C. Pinkham

Theses and Dissertations

This study was designed to determine the relationship between academic achievement as measured by the composite score on the Iowa Tests of Educational Development and success of varsity players in football. Success in football was defined as winning 70 percent or more of conference games.

A random sample of one hundred Iowa high schools was used in the study. Letters were sent to administrators of the schools to collect achievement scores for all varsity football letter winners and the conference team record. An average composite score was figured for each team, as was the team percentage of wins. A correlation …

A Relationship Of Basketball Skill Ability As Compared To Physical Education Grade Point Average And Overall Grade Point Averages Of Sixth And Seventh Grade Boys At Woodside Elementary School, Dale Tylka

Theses and Dissertations

The first phase of the problem was to determine if there were a relationship between basketball skill ability and physical education grade point average. The second phase was to determine if there were a relationship between the same basketball skill ability and academic grade point average.

The AAHPER Basketball Skills Test was administered to 100 sixth and seventh grade boys at Woodside Elementary School. After their basketball skill scores were standardized, these scores were correlated.with their physical education grade point average and their academic grade point average using the Pearson Product-Moment Formula. A correlation coefficient of 0.62 was found between …

College Experience And Change In Locus Of Control, Robert Resnick

Theses and Dissertations

Ninety-one college students were administered The DeKalb Survey Test during their freshman and junior years to assess possible changes in locus of control. On the basis of their freshman scores, subjects were assigned to an internal group, an internal-external group, or an external group..

The greatest change occurred for the external group in the predicted internal direction. The internal-external group changed in the internal direction, but not as much as did externals. Although the internal group became more external, none of the three groups could be classified as externally oriented by their junior year. The higher achieving students and those …

The Aesthetic And Technical Problems In Designing And Mounting The Tingalary Bird: A Production Design Thesis, James Beal Lutz

Theses and Dissertations

This thesis documents the designing and mounting of the children's play, The Tingalary Bird. Designing included the set, properties and furniture, costume, make-up, lighting, and sound. A stylized concept was followed throughout the entire production. A bird cage set, furniture, and properties were built with function, mobility, color, and shape as the primary design elements. Costumes, built from day-glow colored fabric and make-up characterizing doll-like features were coordinated for an overall stylized effect. Lighting, including ultraviolet light, and tape-recorded sound, ranging from pipe organ to acid rock which periodically added a definite mood and emphasis to the plot, accentuated the …

Interstimulus Intervals In Conditioned Suppression, John Oliver Kling

Theses and Dissertations

Conditioned suppression describes the attenuation of an ongoing operant (e.g., lever press or key peck) when a warning stimulus precedes unavoidable electric shock. First reported by Estes and Skinner (1941), the procedure has been refined by Kamin (1961, 1965) and other investigators (Geller, 1963, 1964; Hunt and Brady, 1955; and James and Mostoway, 1968). Although many of the parameters of conditioned suppression have been evaluated, relatively little attention has been given to interstimulus intervals. In the only parametric study of interstimulus intervals, Libby (1951) investigated seven short intervals ranging from 0 to 30 seconds. He reported that suppression increased as …

Analysis Of The Election Of 1896 In North Dakota, Roger Milton Klimpel

Theses and Dissertations

The treatment of the election of 1896 has invoked no uniform opinion among historians. The general works as well as the more localized studies have centered around urban-rural differences, voting i patterns, and issues. This study follows the course of political events in North Dakota's election of 1896, through the use of newspapers, public documents, and contemporary writings.

Fusion elements failed in their attempts to wrestle the government away from Republicans. Democratic-Populist forces faced a well- entrenched, well-organized and well-financed Republican party. Fusionists centered their campaign on the narrow silver issue. The Republicans circumvented the money question and successfully played …

Instrumentality Of Aggression And Strength And Arbitrariness Of Frustration Related To Direct Physical Aggression, Robert J. Thompson Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

Study of the factors influencing the occurrence of aggression received impetus from the frustration-aggression hypothesis of 1939. It was hypothesized that aggression was the primary consequence of frustration, and that the stronger the frustration, the stronger the aggression. Numerous studies have shown that frustration can lead to aggression v/ith organisms ranging along the phylogenetic scale from rats to humans. While questionnaire studies have shown that the strength of aggression varies v/ith the strength of frustration, this has not been verified in laboratory studies of direct physical aggression.

Recently, the importance of situational variables, such as the perceived arbitrariness of the …

A Guide For The Teaching Of Vocal Technique In The High School Chorus, David A. Quam

Theses and Dissertations

In general, high school choruses do not reach their potential as far as choral tone is concerned. The tone is generally characterized by either a completely undisciplined and labored sound or a pseudo "mature" sound imposed upon the students by a director seeking to emulate his college choir.

When high school choruses sing freely and naturally, they do so because they are taught and inspired to do so by their director. Therefore, the director must understand the concepts of correct singing and must have in his possession practical techniques that will develop a program of correct singing in the high …
