An Ret/Systems Dialectic Metatheory, Michael Tallman

Graduate Research Papers

The proponents of individual therapy and family systems therapies advocate their respective approaches as the preferred modality. The case is frequently presented as dichotomous: either therapy works with individuals (whose interpersonal relationships are viewed as relevent) or it deals with systems (Massey, 1986). The purpose of this research paper is to integrate an individual therapy, specifically Rational-Emotive Therapy (RET) within a systemic framework. A theoretical approach, Dialectical Metatheory in Family Therapy (Weeks, 1986), accomodates [sic] this individual/systems perspective by transcending this dichotomy and eliminating the polarization of an either/or thinking.

Plato's Metaphoric Bridge Between Being And Becoming, Roy Schwartzman

Iowa Journal of Communication

Plato's writings abound with colorful analogies and comparisons, such as the myth of the charioteer, the tale of the world's creation, and the myths of the sun, the cave, and the divided line. The value and aesthetic appeal of the Platonic mythos can be traced to the nature of metaphor. The objective of this essay is to demonstrate how metaphor parallels the process of Platonic love. The relationship between Plato's reliance on metaphor and his understanding of love should help to dispel the conception that metaphor functions primarily as a stylistic ornament, at best an expendable addition to Platonic philosophy. …

Variables Affecting The Deaf Student's Achievement In Reading, Rebecca A. Budensiek

Graduate Research Papers

Reading and writing skills are generally considered to be the primary educational needs of deaf children. Although the field of deaf education is fraught with controversy regarding the most desirable communication mode for the deaf (i.e., oral or sign language or a combination), on one thing the experts agree: The deaf need to learn to read and write the language of their peers with normal hearing. It may appear on the surface that reading and writing instruction would be obvious tools in helping these individuals develop language proficiency. However, years of experience have shown that typical deaf individuals do not …

Parent Involvement In A Public Preschool: Proposed Guidelines For An Effective Program, Bonnie Dunham

Graduate Research Papers

There has been a substantial amount of research indicating that the major source of a student's motives for achievement, as well as his or her personality structure, is the home in which he or she grows up (Gordon, 1977). The behavior and attitudes of parents, as well as the nature of the physical setting and materials provided, have a direct impact on the child's behavior before and during the school years. The school is another source of a child's intellectual and personality development. The nature of the curriculum, the mode of teacher behavior, and the classroom ecology all influence not …

Early Writing In The Kindergarten Classroom, Agnes Grevstad Hjelle

Graduate Research Papers

Learning to read and learning to write are related processes which deal with printed symbols (Hall, Moretz, & Statom, 1986). In 1980 Glenda Bissex published GNYS AT WRK: A Child Learns to Write and Read. Bissex chose to focus on how her child treated himself as a writer. In her observation of her son she found that reading was integrally involved in his becoming a writer. When children write they read their own texts and they consequently monitor their production. A dynamic relationship exists between writing and reading because each influences the other in the course of development (Ferreiro & …

Invented Spelling In A First-Grade Classroom, Jean Lynn Bellis

Graduate Research Papers

The outcomes of a writing program allowing children in a first-grade classroom to invent spellings were investigated. Samples of five students' writings, student observations, and parent and student interviews were collected and analyzed. Findings were reported concerning (a) spelling, (b) fluency, and (c) attitude toward writing. The acquisition of literacy is a problem-solving process in which children naturally and actively engage as they discover the underlying principles of English orthography. Learning to spell requires children to construct and test rules constantly with experiences that are meaningful and purposeful. Invented spelling depends on children's ability to isolate the separate speech sounds …

Improving Reading Comprehension Through Text Structure Instruction, Betty J. Santema

Graduate Research Papers

Educators in secondary schools have become increasingly concerned about the levels of reading comprehension of their students. This concern has stemmed in part from growing public awareness of the levels of illiteracy in the United States and the belief that future society will require an increasingly literate people. Educators at all levels who seek ways to help their students learn from the printed materials available in their curricula have been hindered in the past in two main areas (Devine, 1986).

Meeting The Needs Of The Foreign Matesl Student, Cheryl A. Roberts, Carolyn L. Shields

Faculty Publications

In response to the increasing proportion of foreign graduate students in master's programs for teachers of English as a second language (MATESL); students in the University of Northern Iowa's program were surveyed concerning the appropriateness of the programs' design. In in-depth interviews and on questionnaires; foreign graduate students were asked which courses are most applicable to their home teaching situation; what courses should be added; whether the program fulfills original expectations; how the differences in the educational system make the program easier or more difficult; and what changes might make the program more relevant to student needs. Overall; little need …

An Investigation Into The Latchkey Phenomenon And Education's Response, Barbara Dilges Anderson

Graduate Research Papers

Children who stay alone while their parents work have recently been a source of concern to educators, child advocates, policymakers, and parents. The latchkey phenomenon will be examined in this paper by a review of current literature. The development of the latchkey situation will be traced, harmful effects based on research will be identified, and education's response to the latchkey situation will be investigated.

Health Knowledge And Health Behavior Of Deaf Adults In Black Hawk County, Iowa, Leslie Ellen Smith

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The primary purpose of this study was to determine the present health knowledge and health behavior of deaf adults in Black Hawk County, Iowa. In addition, the relationship between knowledge and behavior was examined. It was hypothesized that health knowledge and health behavior would be positively correlated.

A list of deaf adults was compiled through contacts with public and private agencies serving the deaf. Subjects received an introductory letter and response form by mail with subsequent telephone follow-up. Twenty-three deaf adults participated in the study representing 21% of the known, non-institutionalized deaf adults in the county. Participants were interviewed with …

The Production And Transcription Of Syllabic Stress In Young Children, Diane Marie Brammer

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The reliability of listeners' transcription of young children's syllable stress has not been the focus of any experimental study. Goffman (1985) reported poor reliability between listeners' judgments of syllable stress productions by two-year-old children. Two possible reasons for the poor reliability were hypothesized. First, the children may not have been consistently altering the acoustic parameters which signal stress (fundamental frequency, intensity, and duration). Second, listeners may have focused upon different acoustic parameters when making their judgments. The purpose of the present two-part study was to initiate the study of adult transcription of children's production of stress in words. Experiment I …
