Teaching Second Languages In The Elementary School, Alla Brisker-Kramer

Graduate Research Papers

This paper is a literature review of foreign language instruction in America's elementary schools. The language needs of a person living in a global society are identified. Economic, cultural and intellectual reasons for studying foreign languages are determined. Expert opinions are gathered about language programs that currently exist in the elementary school, and guidelines for an effective foreign language program are suggested for those who develop language programs. Elements of the most effective language instruction are discussed. These include: age, motivation, positive attitude, teaching strategies and techniques, and language-culture connection. Recommendations for teachers and parents are provided.

Use Of Internet Will Be A Cooperative Effort, Keith Dwire

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

Use of the Internet and other branches of the National Information Infrastructure (NII) in our schools will demand a concerted effort from every facet of the global community. Before that can happen, we must enlighten our teachers, administrators, boards, students, and community. What are the benefits that use of the NII would produce? What could that vision be? Al Gore (1994), Vice President of the United States, gave us a glimpse of that vision in his NII Executive Summary.

Alcohol Prevention Programs, Laura Becker

Graduate Research Papers

Alcohol consumption is a problem on almost every college campus. The problem not only affects the drinkers, but also the roommates who have to put up with the behavior, the faculty who try to teach these students, and the support services staff who does what it can to reduce the behavior, or at least its negative effects

Because of the problem of drinking, many programs have been developed to try to get students to drink responsibly or to refrain from drinking. Despite these programs, the amount of drinkers on college campuses remains astoundingly high. What types of programs really do …

Issue Area Five: Access: Who Will Have Access? How Will It Be Accomplished?, Matthew A. Kollasch

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

The Internet has captured the imagination of both the popular media and education journals. Books dedicated solely to the Internet abound, and journals such as Internet World gain an ever increasing readership. While access to information about the Internet seems ubiquitous, educators throughout Iowa are struggling to gain Internet access so they can begin to realize its tremendous potential as touted by the media and by colleagues.

Access to the Internet for Iowa school districts depends on many factors, including: (a) leadership by local school districts and area education agencies, (b) the sheer complexity of the problem, (c) scarcity of …

The Impact Of Follow-Up Discussion On Student Learning From Channel One, Gary Arthur Borlaug

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Channel One, a news and features program delivered via satellite to over 40% of junior and senior high school students in the United States, has been the subject of persistent scrutiny regarding the educational value of its daily 10-minute presence in schools. Channel One’s curriculum includes three major components: (a) current events; (b) social issues such as drug abuse, teen pregnancy, depression, prejudice, and so on; and (c) commercial advertisements. Previous studies have been conducted to examine the impact of the current events and advertisement components but not of the social issues component.Studies designed to measure how much students learned …

Homeschooling: An Educational Alternative For Iowa's High Ability Students, Roberta J. Mccurdy

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the impact of homeschooling as an educational option for high ability students, particularly in Iowa. Using a literature review and personal interviews, the writer sought to determine the reasons parents homeschool, advantages and disadvantages of this option, and its impact on education in Iowa. The literature and interviews showed that a major reason that parents of high ability students homeschooled their children was a belief that the public school could not adequately provide for and challenge high ability students. The reviewed literature indicated that two important advantages of homeschooling for high ability …

Germany’S Foreign Policy And The Role Of German Minorities: Czechoslovakia, Hungary, And Poland 1919-1929, Frederick William Hollister

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This work has tried to address the confusion concerning Germany and Eastern Europe. When Germany's foreign relations with three Eastern European countries are closely examined, it becomes clear that between 1919 and 1929 the treatment o f the German minorities in these countries had little or no effect Germany's foreign policy. In this thesis I adopted a comparative approach concerning the conditions under which the German communities lived in Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia. I then examined Germany's relations with each of these countries. Based on that examination I looked for a correlation between the level of government oppression of the …

Cognitive Rehabilitation In Mild To Moderate Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury: Comparison Of Pqrst And Think-Aloud Strategies, Kris Marie Franzen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The present study-investigated the effectiveness of Robinson's (1970) PQRST technique for improving reading comprehension in two 10 year old boys with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). A counterbalanced cross-over design was utilized and Smith and Dauer's (1984) think-aloud technique was used as an attention control condition. A third, 10 year old, boy without a history of TBI also participated in the study for comparison purposes and received no active intervention. The PQRST technique was successful in improving several measures of reading comprehension. While the study was not designed to definitively identify the technique's generalizability or long-term benefits, effectiveness …

Aspects Of Cultural Literacy In Elementary Reading/Literature Textbooks, Linda Neilsen

Graduate Research Papers

In his 1987 book, Cultural Literacy: What Every American Needs to know E. D. Hirsch, Jr. contended that current elementary textbooks contain very little of the traditional literature which students need to know. For this research, nine elementary reading/literature textbook series were analyzed for their use of seven types of traditional literature: fable, fairy tale, folktale, legend, myth, nursery rhyme, and tall tale. It was found that less than ten percent of the reading selections in the selected textbook series would fit the criteria to be considered traditional literature entries. Furthermore, it was found that, in the selected series, textbooks …

Planning A School Technology In-Service For Kindergarten Through Secondary School Teachers, Ancillary Staff, And Administrators, Joan R. Hammelman

Graduate Research Papers

The increasing demand for technological literacy in our global economy affects all areas of schools. The principle of technological literacy, or more specifically, technological knowledge and skills, permeates every aspect of school systems. It crosses all administrative lines, enters office and classroom settings, affects quality of educational delivery, and can help raise the potential level of life-skills for both educational professionals and students to incomprehensible new heights (Presley & Freitas, 1990). This project will deal with raising the level of technological literacy for educational professionals which should eventually result in increased levels of technological literacy of the students.

A Preferred Vision For Administering Elementary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Gary L. Whitmore

Graduate Research Papers

At some point in the near future, I hope to become the administrator of an elementary school. As I have continued the course work that will eventually qualify me for this position, a number of questions have surfaced in regards to this end goal. What type of role model will the principal need to be to the students, staff, and the community as a whole? What would the principal, as educational leader, want to accomplish? How will the teachers and principal work together to arrive at these decisions? And, will I be able to manage the day to day complexities …
