Programming To Meet The Needs Of Commuter Students, Joanne Kay Loonan

Graduate Research Papers

Commuter students are defined as those who live with their parents, spouse, family, or by themselves (Flanagan, 1976) in housing not provided by the institution. They comprise eighty percent of the undergraduate population in American colleges (Stewart and Rue, 1983). Commuters have been dubbed "the neglected majority" (Slade and Jarmul, 1975), because academic and personal counseling, campus activities, and special services have not been provided for these students on a consistent basis.

Teacher Isolation, Kevin Wayne Fiene

Graduate Research Papers

In modern educational Jargon, the discussion topic which occurred ls known as teacher isolation. Teacher isolation in Its simplest form ls not having the time or opportunity to 1 interact with colleagues in order to discuss techniques, problems, solutions. The purpose of this paper ls to explore the existence of teacher Isolation. Although few studies have centered directly on teacher isolation, many reports and studies are linking teacher isolation with problems in education. (Brodinsky, 1984; Driscoll & Shirey, 1985; Gold, 1984; Fimian, 1982; Seidman & Zager, 1986-87). This paper will be concerned with a number of topics related-to teacher isolation. …

Visualization, Ed Harris

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In pockets of deep prehistory, humans made the first marks on their world. Those marks were completely new images, images that had not existed before. The painting and tooling on stone walls recorded and attempted to explain human interaction with the world. Languages, alphabets, systems of numbers and physical structures came much later. Each new tool eventually became interconnected with the others to produce more complex means of studying, recording and building the human-world relationship. These pockets of activity moved, merged, divided or died. The accumulations of perceptions, knowledge and technology continued to mix and reconnect.

A National Computer Conferencing Network For Science Education, Jack A. Gerlovich

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

If science educators -- curriculum planners, supervisors and teachers -- were linked by telecommunications networks, all could experience the advantages of a conference without the usual disadvantages, such as travel costs or loss of valuable work hours. And these experiences could be frequent, regular and on-going. Motivated by such possibilities, the Council of State Science Supervisors began setting up a national telecommunications network for science education in 1986. Support for the idea came in the form of a grant from the National Science Foundation, the cooperation of state and federal government agencies and equipment and technical aid from the IBM …

Counseling Battered Women, Dorothy A. Turner

Graduate Research Papers

Violence against women by men is not a new problem. Certain cultures have encouraged it; others have regulated it. English common law, after which American laws are patterned, gave husbands the right to chastise their wives. The ''rule of thumb" referred to the right of a husband to beat his wife with a stick "no thicker than his thumb" (Martin, 1983, p.46). Most states adopted this policy, acknowledging wife beating as acceptable, up to a point. This attitude was best summed up by an old North Carolina court ruling that stated, "unless some permanent injury be inflicted or there be …

Alcohol Education In Colleges And Universities: Goals, Programs, And Evaluation, Marilyn Jean Dettmer

Graduate Research Papers

A constantly recurring problem on college campuses is that of alcohol use and abuse. The literature reveals that a high percentage of college students drink and that many drink excessively. Gonzalez and Broughton (1986) reported on 1977 studies by Blane and Hewitt which showed that the college student population has a higher number of drinkers than any other population group in the United States. Approximately eighty-five percent of American college students drink beer, wine, or distilled spirits compared to about seventy percent of the general population. Gonzalez (1986) reported on 1979 studies by Wechsler and McFadden which indicated that upwards …

The Etiology Of Domestic Violence Against Women: A Theoretical Overview, Andrea Athey

Graduate Research Papers

Historically, a man's right to control his mate through violence has been legally and culturally sanctioned. The expression "rule of thumb" originates in ancient Rome and refers to the common law practice which allowed a man to strike his wife with a stick provided the stick was no thicker than his thumb (Gelles , 1987) .

Supervisory Referrals To Employee Assistance Programs: Influences On The Use Of Eaps By Supervisors, Garth E. Baker

Graduate Research Papers

Employee assistance programming is an outgrowth of the occupational alcoholism programs that had their beginnings in the late 1930's and early 1940's. Since that time, changing attitudes and needs of employers and employees have led to a shift of emphasis away from alcoholism and into a larger area including all human problems and difficulties (Googins, 1988b). Along with this shift in focus has come a reallocation of r resources within organizations, more specifically, within the unit providing the assistance services. Foote and Erfurt (1981) and Googins (1988a) have shown that supervisory referrals have decreased significantly. Recent public attention to the …

The Role Of The Principal In Educational Leadership And Change, Nicholas B. Hobbs

Graduate Research Papers

Walker and Vogt (1987) state that today's school systems cannot afford to be static institutions because the environment in which they exist demands change at a rapidly increasing rate. Past research indicates that principals spent a large amount of time on housekeeping chores and in meetings with other administrative personnel (Sarason, 1982). Sarason further adds that the smooth operation of the system often becomes an end in itself and that anything or anyone interfering with this smoothness will be closely scrutinized. Goodlad (1969) indicates that administrators favor teachers who maintain orderly classrooms, keep accurate records and maintain stable relations with …

Plant-Parasitic Nematodes In Iowa, Don C. Norton

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Ninety-nine species of plant-parasitic nematodes are recorded from Iowa. Twenty-seven are new state records. Most samples were collected from around maize or from prairies or woodlands. Similarity (Sorensen's index) of species was highest for the maize-prairie habitats (0.49), compared with maize-woodlands (0. 23), or prairie-woodland (0. 3 7) habitats. Nematode communities were most diverse in prairies with a Shannon-Weiner index (H') of 2.74, compared with 1.65 and 1.07 for woodlands and maize habitats, respectively. Evenness of species (J') was 0.41, 0.78, and 0.48 for maize, prairies, and woodlands, respectively.

Nursing Image And The Nursing Shortage, Glenda Sidler

Graduate Research Papers

This study was undertaken to determine what effect the present image of the nurse, as perceived by the general public, has had on the recruitment of students for the nursing profession. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to evaluate how the media has presented nursing over the last two decades. The literature review also looked at what effect this media presentation has had on the potential nursing student. Several strategies aimed at changing the public 1 s misconception of nursing were identified and discussed. Implications for further study and concerns for what this might mean to the future …

Familial Perspectives With Regard To Chemical Dependency, Samantha Jo Pieters

Graduate Research Papers

Recent literature supports the belief that alcoholism has adverse effects on family systems. It is the intention of this paper to illustrate what role alcohol plays in family systems, and how family members react to this disease. This review of literature has a second purpose which is to discuss how family therapists propose to treat chemical dependency.

Supervision Of The Marginal Teacher, Michael D. Haluska

Graduate Research Papers

Much of today's rhetoric for stemming the "rising tide of mediocrity" in American education has focused on the unsatisfactory performance of America's teachers (Sweeney and Manatt, 1984). Yet, too often the efforts of the nation's very able teachers are overshadowed by the poor performances of a relatively small number of incompetent classroom teachers. The accomplishments of the competent majority will continue to be overlooked and unappreciated unless principals deal directly with unsatisfactory teachers (Bridges, 1985). What we need is a reliable and accurate method for identifying teachers who are not performing up to standard and a systematic process for helping …

Marketing In College Admissions, Deborah Jo Sienknecht

Graduate Research Papers

The first rule of effective marketing in business is that you cannot be all things to all people, and you cannot expect to sell to everyone. Marketing higher education is considered by some to be a somewhat undignified or unprofessional approach to the recruitment of students. However, with declining populations of traditional college students and the increased financial stringencies placed on both public and private colleges, many institutions have already adopted marketing approaches and still others may consider changes in their recruitment and admission strategies in the coming years.

School-Based Alcohol Education, William W. Dennis

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of school-based alcohol education is to reduce the number of alcohol-related problems and deaths among young people. Effective educational efforts, hopefully, will lessen children's and adolescents' chances of developing alcohol related problems as they mature and become adults. This paper will review the literature concerning school-based alcohol education in primary and secondary schools in the United States.

Family Therapy And The Treatment Of Alcoholism, Stephanie L. Lieder

Graduate Research Papers

The statistics relating to alcoholism indicate the seriousness of this problem within the United States. According to Kinney and Leaton (1983), an estimated 3.3 million adolescents between the ages of 14 and 17 years have serious drinking problems. Steinglass (1981) stated that nine million adults in our society either abused or were addicted to alcohol. The pervasiveness of this problem is demonstrated by Kinney and Leaton (1983) who estimated that "for every person with an alcohol problem, four family members are directly affected" (p. 25). These statistics have important ramifications for family therapy. Since family therapists generally work with two …
