Use Of Computers In The Early Elementary Classroom, Susan Barbara Freet

Graduate Research Papers

Microcomputers are becoming increasingly more common in today's society. The cost of the unit Is decreasing, more software is available, and the quality has improved. As computer usage becomes more common in society, schools must respond through educational preparation and utilization. The number of pub I le school computers more than tripled between 1980 and 1982, increasing to nearly 100,000 by the spring of 1982 (Magarrel I, 1982). Between 1980 and 1982 the number of home computers l n use grew more than seven-fold and the number of educational programs available for these micros increased more than ten-fold (Zlajku, 1983). …

Microcomputers In Education And Their Applications In Administration, Byron D. Clemsen

Graduate Research Papers

The single most significant technological achievement of the twentieth century might well be the computer. Capabilities of the computer at present are just beginning to be tapped. What the future has in store is anyone's guess. Computers can perform repetitive tasks with less error than human workers can, as well as work 24 hours per day, 7 days per week without need for rest. Technology has improved both in regards to the speed with which it performs computations as well as the capacity for memory storage. With the latest advancements, computers now have the ability to communicate interactively within a …

Methods Of Implementing General Physical Access Guidelines For The Physically Disabled, And Implementation Techniques Regarding Academic Access For The Learning Disabled, As Mandated By The Rehabilitation Act Of 1973, Paul H. Felix

Graduate Research Papers

In September, 1973, the United States Congress passed a law which prohibits discrimination on the basis of mental or physical handicaps in every federally-funded program within the United States. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504, states: No otherwise qualified handicapped individual in the United States ••• shall, solely by reason of his handicap, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance (United States statutes at large, 1973, Appendix A). Institutions must comply with this law, or face losing federal funds.

A Literature Review Of The Association Between Adolescent Suicide And Family Communication, Robert Kevan Curren

Graduate Research Papers

Suicide, in general, has been described by Durkheim {1951) as "all cases of death resulting directly or indirectly from a positive or negative act of the victim himself, which he knows will produce this result (p. 44). Adolescent suicide has become a national concern within the past five years because of the steady rise in both suicide attempts and completions. Currently, suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-24 year olds. Early reports indicate that suicide may now be ranked second, only behind accidents, for the cause of adolescent death {Greuling & DeBlassie, 1980). In addition, the Statistical …

Counseling Battered Wives, Phyllis Renee Jones

Graduate Research Papers

The relationship between husbands and wives is almost identical to that between parents and children (Ni earthy, 1982). The relationship is identical in the following ways: the husband has the so-called "right" to beat his wife and the parents have the "right" to beat their children. The husbands have the right to batter their wives because of power, authority, hierarchy in the family structure and legal rights. According to Ni earthy (1982) a judge once stated: "If no permanent injury has been inflicted nor malice nor dangerous violence shown by the husband, it is better to draw the curtain, shut …

Significant Factors In Adolescent Suicide And Subintentional Suicide: A Literature Review, Kirk Ryan Anderson

Graduate Research Papers

Adolescent suicide has become a national concern within the past five years, due to the steady rise in both suicide attempts and completions (Giovaccini, 1981). Although the rate of adolescent suicide attempts appears to be on the upsurge, most of the literature focuses on adult attempters or deals with attempts across all ages (Topal & Reznikoff, 1982). Giovaccini (1981) reports that the adolescent suicide rate is nearly thirty three percent higher than that of the overall population. Rbsenkrantz (1978) found adolescents make many more attempts per successful suicide than do adults. The ratio for adolescents has been estimated as high …

A Meta Analysis Of National Child Abuse And Neglect Studies, Jonetta M. Cameron

Graduate Research Papers

The relationship of physical and psychosocial human behavior to child abuse is an issue that has always faced civilized societies. At one time it was believed that developmental needs came into play in a hierarchical sequence, the most basic being those necessary for survival, such as the need for food and water; and that only when these have been satisfied do the higher needs emerge, such as the need for a loving relationship. Now it is felt that all human needs are interrelated and interdependent in a subtle, complex and continuous way (Smith, 1978). These needs must be addressed from …

The Effects Of Unemployment On The Family, Vikki Lynn Roberts

Graduate Research Papers

Unemployment is a stressor event that affects the functioning and homeostasis of the entire family system. The sources of stress are a function of the material scarcity brought on by financial loss, the unemployed family member's loss of the breadwinner role, and the family unit's loss of status. In addition, the re-employment process imposes stress on the system. The effects of unemployment are apparent when the family is conceptualized as a social system where each member is a subsystem that affects and is affected by each of the other subsystem family members. Theoretically, the family system maintains a balance or …

Theory Z And School Improvement, Paul H. Schoneman

Graduate Research Papers

Improving American schools is a continual concern to school administrators because many economists and citizens argue that if our economic community is to continue as a world leader our schools must also be world leaders in the area of education. As a result of this logic, the American public always seems to demand more accountability from our schools. This demand has put school administrators to work in search of ways to be more productive in our schools in hopes of showing school accountability to the American public.

A Study For School Media Center Program Improvement, Glen W. Jordan

Graduate Research Papers

The school library-media specialist holds an interesting position. They are not usually classroom teachers, but they are involved in the educational process. They select, purchase, catalog, and provide access to a great many materials in book form as well as in audiovisual and computer format. It is this material and its usage that puts the library-media specialist in such a unique and interesting position within the context of a school's educational program.

The Cancer Scholarship Program: An Iowan Tradition, George E. O'Brien, Edward L. Pizzini

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Many highly able and motivated students in science have interest in research. Student participation in the total science process, including data collection, recording, reporting, experimental interpretation, synthesis and even publication, can provide the ultimate means of activating science potential. A cooperative effort between the American Cancer Society (ACS) - Iowa Division and The University of Iowa has provided this type of experience, as a facet of the Research Participation Program. For the past 12 years, 100 students who have completed grade 10, 11, or 12, representing 50 Iowa communities, have received financial support from the ACS to participate in the …

The Relationship Between High School Curriculum And Collegiate Academic Success, Nancy Bramhall

Graduate Research Papers

Newspapers and magazines have bombarded the American public in recent years with reports that national test scores on the American College Test (ACT) and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) were steadily dropping. Many people believe this drop in scores meant the quality of education was declining. Are the educational standards of our high schools lower today than they were twenty years ago? If so, what are the ramifications for our colleges and universities? The Advisory Panel on the SAT Score Decline stated, "There is a clearly observable evidence of diminished seriousness of purpose and attention to mastery of skills and …
