Warble Tone As An Audiometric Stimulus, Gary Dean Dockum

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The warble tone, as an auditory stimulus, is apparently being used in a number of clinical settings. However, it is being used without knowledge of possible threshold differences which may exist between it and the pure tone stimulus. Recent studies comparing the two stimuli have been limited to extremely small samples and to only trained listeners. Also, they provide mostly theoretical information based on the effect of various warble parameters on warble tone thresholds. The purpose of the present study was to compare obtained pure tone and warble tone thresholds for a large group of normal-hearing inexperienced listeners while using …

An Evolution In Education Individualization And Learning Activity Packets In Junior High Woodworking, Joseph Wysocki

Graduate Research Papers

The purposes of the study are:

(1) To show how education has evolved throughout American history; it has always taken the best of the past with it and amalgamated- it into its present; individualization has presently advantages which today's society needs to replace conventional programs.

(2) To explain the rationale for individualization.

(3) To give an explanation of the process of making learning activity packages.

(4) To provide learning packets for a course on machines in industrial education, namely lathe and band saw.

An Experimental Project For Individualizing Instruction On The Ibm Composer, James P. Cox

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this study was the design, development, and evaluation of a coordinated software-hardware system designed to provide instruction in the basic skills and knowledge required to successfully operate the IBM Selectric Composer. More specifically, the purpose was to develop a software packet designed around the LearningActivity Package concept, and to place these materials in a study carrel with all the necessary equipment including the IBM Composer. The study carrel (hardware), the Learning Activity Packages (software), and the IBM Composer (three dimensional activities) were coordinated into a total instructional system.

Teachers Group Calls For Scientific Literacy

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The nation's science teachers are proclaiming scientific literacy as the goal of their efforts for the 1970s. If they achieve this goal, the schools will be turning out people who are comfortable in science, understand its limitations and possibilities, can use it skillfully and intelligently, and who will continue its development.

Entropy, The Universe And Man, Peter H. Sweedy

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

"You can't unscramble an egg." This phrase and many others throughout literature are examples of what physicists have come to call entropy. The concept of entropy is unique because, unlike the conservation of momentum and the conservation of energy, there is no principle of conservation of entropy.

Students For Environmental Awareness (S.E.A.): A New Concept, Charles Frederick

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

We live in a world which consists of many different ideas, cultures and institutions. This array of differences, although stimulating, should not be construed as being completely represented in the product, education.

Group Independent Study: A Unique Approach To Undergraduate Research, James E. Privett

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Briar Cliff College has a program of independent study in the student's major field during the junior and senior years. In the past the program was used for library research projects and independent laboratory projects. In all cases the projects were truly independent, that is, separate projects for different students with no interconnections between projects. The investigator felt that it would be advantageous if all of the senior chemistry majors and some of the junior chemistry majors who felt ready for the experience would work on the same general research project but with each student studying just one aspect of …

Building The Instructional Materials Center In The Small School, William G. Strabala

Graduate Research Papers

First, we must define what is meant by the term, Instructional Materials Center. It has been called a library, a resource center or an audiovisual center. Bruce R. Purrington's explanation seems appropriate. He likens the Instructional Materials Center to a university. A university is a collection of various schools or colleges, and the Instructional Materials Center is a collection of several libraries or resource units containing libraries of printed materials, projected materials, transmitted materials and recorded materials.

To explain the Instructional Materials Center's purpose we have to briefly look at the educational developments and demands of today. In the last …

A Primary Mammoth Site With Associated Fauna In Pottawattamie County, Iowa, Leo Carson Davis, Ralph E. Eshelman, Jean C. Prior

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

. In August 1970, an investigation was made of the remains of a mammoth, Mammuthus cf. M. columbi, exposed west of Oakland, in Pottawattamie County, Iowa. A segment of proboscidian tusk, a lower third molar, and additional skeletal fragments were collected from the Wisconsin loess. Associated with the mammoth was a small-mammal fauna consisting of Phenacomys intermedius (heather vole), Microtus pennsylvanicus (meadow vole), and Vulpes vulpes (red fox), extant species with an area of sympatry immediately north of the Minnesota-Canadian border. This fauna, here designated the Oakland local fauna, supports cooler summers in western Iowa during Wisconsin loess deposition.

Leadership And Language, Marvin D. Jensen

Iowa Journal of Communication

Eric Hoffer, in his new book Reflections on the Human Condition, observes: We never say so much as when we do not quite know what we want to say. We need few words when we have something to say, but all the words in all the dictionaries will not suffice when we have nothing to say and want desperately to say it.

His words echo the desperation of a leaderless time. The central view I offer is this: the present crisis of leadership is a crisis of language--and this dual crisis is upon us from the campus to the …

A Librarian's Guide To The Use Of The Elementary School Library, Larry Lee Williams

Graduate Research Papers

One of the major purposes of the school librarian as well as of the teacher is to help students acquire knowledge. Reading, observing, telling, reporting, listening, discussing, planning, and problem solving are the essential communication skills that need to be developed. Skill in gathering and utilizing information and knowledge is required in critical thinking. These skills must be taught deliberately and practiced thoughtfully.

Library Cooperation, Myron Dean Mcgrew

Graduate Research Papers

Sometimes school people feel that combining the school library and the public library in the school building should be encouraged because this will make more efficient use of school and municipal funds. The reasoning behind this lies in reducing the duplication of materials and facilities. The idea sounds fine on paper, but "unless the answer has in it something that indicates the services will be improved or increased, I doubt if the project is worth doing."

A Brief Study Of The Place Of The Computer In The Library, William Mitchell Andrews

Graduate Research Papers

When considering adapting the computer to library use, there appear to be four general areas where usage would be most practical. The first area might be labeled "library housekeeping operations," which would include the ordering and receiving of monographs and serials,
circulation control of library items and preparation of catalogs and listings of many kinds. The second area would consist of cataloging and allied content analysis operations designed to assign to each item subject identifiers, as well as call number or related classification information. The third area would be composed of storage and retrieval operations, which make it possible for …

The School Librarian And The Elementary Social Studies Curriculum, Gerald Richard Eberle

Graduate Research Papers

The social studies curriculum is in an era of transition. It is a complex, multidimensional, often confusing, but tremendously challenging subject. Because research and study in this area double and redouble in very short periods of time, educators face the problem of remaining informed of new developments.

As the school librarian participates in all areas of curriculum planning, a knowledge of theory and practical application is necessary. In the social studies curriculum a review of its evolution in American education is helpful. This includes general aims and objectives, its history in American education, present criticism of its relevance to today's …

Methods By Which An Elementary School Librarian Can Encourage Teachers To Effectively Utilize And Integrate Nonprint Materials, Andrea Fariss Litterer

Graduate Research Papers

As the title suggests, teachers need to be utilizing audiovisual media in an integral fashion and librarians can help them do so. It is now possible to enlarge the educational scope and to enrich learning by not relying solely on verbal communication. It has been suggested that the "applications of technology range from the continued utilization of the book and the blackboard to complete control of the learning programme of large numbers of students by centrally-located computers. The breadth of our educational program is limited only by our wisdom and our willingness to work. Above all, the librarian and teacher …

Public Library Systems In The United States, Alfred Baird

Graduate Research Papers

The term "public library systems" has different meanings for both the lay and professional person. To the writer, it meant a large municipal system such as the Chicago Public Library with its forty-one branches¹ or a cooperative effort of small Iowa libraries working together.

In reviewing the literature concerning library systems, one finds professionals like Kenneth B. Shaffer stating: "The library system has been an accepted as a reasonable and viable concept for half a century ... While we have employed the term, decade after decade, the meaning of the term "library system" has changed significantly to the point, …
