Factors Related To Black Students Not Selecting Science As A Major, Denise Darcell Duncan

Graduate Research Papers

Science is a field of study in which the proportion of blacks is drastically lower than that of the entire population (Humphries, 1976). Various studies have been conducted to investigate the characteristics associated with persons in the sciences (Flakes, 1973). There have also been recent studies of blacks in the sciences and the characteristics associated with them (Tilford, 1974). However, this research has not yet revealed why black students do not major in the fields of physical and biological science.

The Development Of An Annotated Bibliography Of Historical Fiction For Use In An American History Course, Patricia Thayer

Graduate Research Papers

Juvenile literature is an effective and appealing tool to supplement classroom instruction. More specifically, historical fiction can provide supplemental readings to enhance and enrich an American Studies Course.

The purpose of this study was to determine if an annotated bibliography of historical fiction relating to the Civil War era could be developed. The novels to be included were to be of an interest level including grade eight and a reading level range of grades four through eleven. Major social/cultural, political/legal, and economic issues of the Civil War era were attributed to each title in the bibliography.

The researcher had predicted …

Exploratory Data Analysis Of Nigeria’S 1963 Age Structures, Julius Oladele Samuel Dada

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis explores and probes the reliability and the inconsistencies of Nigeria's 1963 census using the scanty information available through the microfilm on Nigeria's 1963 census. It uses the 25 provinces and some times, the four regions of Nigeria as the unit level of resolutions. This is the first attempt to discuss the age-sex structure of the whole country. The 1963 data set is subjected to series of testing to see if there is any valid relationship between the 1963 Nigeria demographic variables and those found in other advanced nations for which reliable information has been obtained by some population …

Water Source Of Big Spring Trout Hatchery, Clayton County, Iowa, Neill Heitmann

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A large naturally flowing spring emitting from the Galena Dolomite Formation in the valley wall of the Turkey River, 8 km northwest of Elkader, is the source of water supply for Big Spring Trout Hatchery. Precipitation in northern Clayton County infiltrating the bedrock and moving laterally along crevices and cavities in the dolomite rock is the principal recharge source for the spring. Numerous sinkholes as far as 13.9 km to the north and northeast capture surface runoff and funnel water to the spring. Chemical dyes and plastic spheres were used to trace the groundwater movement from the sinkholes to the …

A Comparison Of Formal Operational Thinking Ability With Reading Ability And Critical Thinking Ability For Tenth Grade Students, Theresa Jill Cecil

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In recent years there has been a good deal of interest in Piaget's cognitive developmental theory as it relates to beginning reading and learning to read and a number of research studies have investigated the effect of cognitive stage on reading ability. Little research has been done, however, which investigate the relationships and effect of advanced levels of cognitive development upon the reading ability of adolescents and adults. The final stage of cognitive development is termed formal operational thinking in Piagetian theory and involves the ability to formulate hypotheses, reason logically and function in the abstract realm of possibility as …

The Role Of The School Library Media Specialist As Perceived By English And Social Science Teaching Majors And Library Science Students At The University Of Northern Iowa, Edward L. Bailey Jr.

Graduate Research Papers

This research study was an attempt to answer the question: Do English and social science students; English and school library media specialist students; and social science and school library media specialist students possess similar perceptions of the role of the school library media specialist?

To answer this question, a role norm inventory consisting of seven parts, each representing one of seven role segments was admini­stered. Responses were made on a Likert-type scale by sample groups at the University of Northern Iowa. An analysis of variance was used to determine the significant differences with the .05 level of proba­bility set for …

In the second chapter Kashmir's cultural patterns are described, and regional religious and linguistic groupings are noted. There has been a continuity in these patterns since the second half of the nineteenth century. In …

The Importance Of Mass Movement And Piping In Badlands Slope Development, Robert R. Churchill

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Field reconnaissance study of a small drainage basin developed on the Chadron Formation (Oligocene) in the Big Badlands, South Dakota, revealed mass movement and piping to be dominant processes in hillslope development. While seasonal creep is undoubtedly a major factor in slope development, evidence of a wide variety of mass movement types is apparent. Piping and associated collapse features occur in mass movement debris as well as in materials in situ on the valley sides. Mass movement features and piped tributary channels show a marked preference for the northeast-facing valley side. As a result, northeast-facing valley-side slopes are complexly faceted …
