Models Of Mill Creek Midden Formation: Implications For Future Research, Duane C. Anderson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Researchers in the 1950s viewed the deep Mill Creek village middens of northwestern Iowa as tell-like deposits resulting from intensive occupations over relatively long periods of time. This view persisted for the next two decades and provided the basis for the investigation of climatic, environmental, and cultural change. In 1973 Baerreis and Alex (1974) proposed an alternate model arguing that the middens developed as a result of the aboriginal practice of banking earth against house walls in conjunction with cycles of abandonment and subsequent reoccupation of village sites. This paper discusses these two models in the light of findings at …

Case Study: Comparison And Information Of Science Education At The Three State Universities In Iowa, Rita Hrecz

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this paper was threefolds:

1) To fulfill a course requirement;

2) To acquaint myself with the reason for the comme·nts I've heard about Science Education at the University of Northern Iowa being unique,

J) To exchange information between the three State Universities from my belief that we often do not communicate enough and are therefore missing opportunities to support and assist one another.

Status, Self, And Peers: An Ethnography Of Junior High School, Susan Martha Nesheim Allbee

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This report begins with a brief discussion of the overall purpose of social science: to be of service to humankind. To examine and report one's findings is no longer the whole of the responsibility of social scientific research. One must also examine the purpose and objectives of that research. In view of those statements, the objective of this project--the gathering and analysis of information on the culture of junior high school students-- is to gain a better understanding of early adolescence and thereby offer opportunities for insights not only into their culture but to add to the body of knowledge …

A Philosophical Taxonomy Of The Major Correctional Perspectives: Toward A New Approach In Criminal Justice, Steven Jay Cuvelier

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Since the repudiation of the rehabilitation ideal in the mid 1970s a considerable body of literature has developed in which the social purpose and goal of American corrections are debated. While much attention has been given to the policy issues surrounding the various correctional approaches, the author notes that little attention has been paid to the philosophical foundations upon which these perspectives are based. Chapter 1 traces the development of correctional ideology from its beginning to the present crises. An overview of the current problems faced by corrections is given, focusing upon the lack of conceptual clarity in the criminal …

Implications Of Existential-Humanistic Principles For Counseling Adolescents In Schools, Peter John Larson

Graduate Research Papers

This study focuses upon the emergence of existential humanistic psychology, particularly as developed through the work of Carl Rogers. The study attempts to display how existential humanistic psychology, as expressed through the work of Rogers, may offer valuable insights to counselors working with adolescents in school settings. By assuming that adolescents are at the forefront of society in terms of planning lives in a fast-changing and often despairing climate, the conclusion is offered that the principles of existential-humanistic psychology might be particularly relevant to counselors who are working with the adolescent in schools.

The Nature Of Science, David Roskos-Ewoldsen

Iowa Journal of Communication

During the 1920's, the logical positivists attempted to establish a formal system for the advancement of science through the Vienna circle. Basically, the logical positivists argued that the ultimate purpose of science should be the advancement towards final truth. This could be done through scientific investigations that removed theory from observation. Theory served the role of explaining why observations occurred. But the advancement of science came through the removal of theory from these scientific observations. By removing theory from observations, it was assumed that science would be able to advance towards the ultimate goal of truth because these observations, being …

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The year 1984 marks the 109th anniversary of the founding of the Academy in 1875. Since the review of the first 100 years published in the centennial issue of the Proceedings in March 1975, the "Annual Report" has been a running history of the organization. The previous reports were written by Robert W. Hanson, the Executive Director from 1967 to 1983. In keeping with this tradition, this author will review this year's activities of the Academy.

An Annotated Bibliography Of Biographies For Career Education - Grades 4-6, Susan P. Polashek

Graduate Research Papers

An annotated bibliography of biographies was compiled for the career education program in grades 4-6. An attempt was made to locate four biographies for each of the fifteen job clusters designated by the U.S. Office of Education that would be representative of the spectrum of the world of work. A search was made of the Cedar Falls Public Library, Wauzeka Public Schools IMC, and interlibrary loan for biographies. Representative biographies were found for the job clusters of Agribusiness and Natural Resources, Environment, Communication and Media, Fine Arts and Humanities, Health, Public Services, and Recreation and Hospitality. A limited number of …

A Critical Evaluation Of Rogerian Counseling In Terms Of Its Usefulness In Christian Counseling, James O. Sims

Graduate Research Papers

Pastoral counseling, in its present condition, is dominated ''almost exclusively by therapeutic psychology, principally by Rogerian counseling" (Aden, 1984, p. 38). Depending on one's perspective, such a charge is either a sign of hope or an omen of doom. Gaylord B. Noyce, professor of pastoral theology at the Yale University divinity school sees it as the latter. He charges that an "exaggerated deference" to the client-centered theory and methodology of Carl Rogers is "undermining the ministry in hundreds of congregations today." "We have taken the immensely helpful, nondirective Rogerian pattern and made it gospel, not only for wide areas of …

Counseling American Indian Students, Kathleen Curphy

Graduate Research Papers

American Indians today are in a limbo created by their changing culture. While the traditional ways are still being taught in the home, white middle class values are being taught in school. Another factor contributing to this situation is the distorted image of the Indian which is sometimes projected by white writers and the mass media. The image of the American Indian today is that of a stoic, long-suffering, proud, warlike, lazy, drunken individual on the government dole. Indians have maintained their proud heritage, but they deal daily with their distorted image.

Distribution Of On-Campus Grades For Fall Semester 1984, Gerald D. Bisbey

This report is the next in the sequence of such reports being sent each semester to give the University community information concerning grade distributions. These grade distributions are by instructional areas and/ or programs rather than departments only. Thus areas such as Educational Media Center, Individual Studies, Social Sciences, and Human Relations are also identified. By request, the Humanities and General Sciences areas have been retained with the appropriate departments.

Most of data are presented in table form and are self explanatory.

Some Views On The Archaeology Of The Driftless Area In Iowa, R. Clark Mallam

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The archaeology of the Driftless Area in Iowa encompasses a time frame extending from approximately 10,000 B.C. to Euroamerican contact. Researchers have defined a series of prehistoric adaptations for this period which can be conveniently grouped under two major modes of production: hunting/gathering and hunting/gathering-horticultural. By analyzing the evolution of these modes it may be possible to define prehistoric belief systems and the manner in which they functioned as significant components in the adaptation process. This combined scientific-humanistic approach may contribute toward a broader understanding of the prehistory of this region.
