Your Teen-Ager And The School Counselor: A Handbook For Parents, Donald Lee Bennink

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Public Law 85-864 was signed by the President of the United States on September 2, 1958. This law, known as the National Defense Education Act (hereafter referred to as NDEA), is composed of ten titles affecting most levels and many phases of education. Its billion dollars, though authorized for a dozen separate programs, have been authorized for a single purpose - that every young person, from the day he first enters school, should have an opportunity to develop his gifts to the fullest. This is the emphasis that gives the Act its name, for it recognizes that in a free …

The Vincennes Magnetic Anomaly Lee County, Lowa, D. H. Hase

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Relative measurements of the vertical magnetic intensity in southern Lee County, Iowa, were made with a tripod-mounted, Askania Torsion Magnetometer, Type Gfz. The Vincennes magnetic anomaly is attributed to a body of magnetic rock in the Precambrian crystalline complex. From diamond drilling, the top of the body is known to be about 2900 feet below the surface. Although no unique interpretation is possible, a mathematical analysis of the magnetic data suggests that the body may be shaped something like a shallow dish approximately 1,000 feet thick through a diameter of 3 miles and tapering to a feather-edge at a diameter …

Some Empirical Regularities Of The Humber River Drainage Net, Michael C. Roberts

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In describing the drainage net of the Humber River (Ontario), the various parameters used (stream length, number, order: basin area: mean annual discharge) were found to have clear linear relationships. These relationships could not have arisen by chance, and, hence, reflect the regularity of the erosional processes at work. Product moment correlation analysis was also employed between stream length and basin area.

Demonstration Of The Transition From The Particle Approach To The Wave Approach, Richard T. Johnson

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This article describes a demonstration, suitable for elementary physics, to show the transition from the particle to the wave approach. Standing waves in a continuous string are approximated by particles fastened to a much lower density or "massless" string. The agreement between the continuous and discrete systems is good, and the wave approach is shown to be only another way of describing systems.

A Comparison Of The Abilities Of Secondary Teachers And Students Of Biology To Understand Science, Phillip E. Miller

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A comparison of the level of understanding science between secondary teachers and students has been conducted. The biology teachers were made up of two groups. The newly certificated group had just completed their college training; and the other group was made up of experienced, on the job, teachers. The biology teachers were compared with groups of secondary biology students in grades 7-12 inclusive. Significant differences were found between the 7th grade group and all other groups, except the 8th grade group. The implications of teachers with less understanding of science than a sizable group of their students is discussed. There …

A Study Of The Feasibility Of A Summer Enrichment Program In Science For Gifted Children In Grades Three Through Six Sponsored Jointly By The County Board Of Education And The Schools Of Butler County, Iowa, Edward Gene Jackson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Since the advent of "Sputnik I" in October of 1957 there has been a rapid awakening of the American public to the realization that now, more than at any other time in history, the intellectual resources of the country must be developed to their maximum. The development of these resources is the special responsibility of educators.

A Study Of The Career Patterns And Formal Education Of Selected Managers Of Illinois Limited Price Variety Stores, Robert W. Jefferson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In American society prospective workers focus much attention upon the selection of a career occupation. The choosing of an appropriate field is becoming increasingly important at an earlier age in a young person's life. The choosing of an occupation may be affected by parents, friends , aptitudes, education or skills required, and the ambition of the prospective employee. The increase or decrease of the number of workers in a given field of employment may affect the desire of prospective employees to enter a given position or level. Today we are witnessing rapid technological changes that have eliminated some jobs, created …

The Role Of The School Counselor As Viewed By Parents And Counselor-Educators, Donald Allen Fleming

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Guidance in the public schools of the United States is a fairly recent development. The Vocational Bureau, established by Frank Parsons in 1909, represented one of the first organized efforts to supplement home guidance. Since that time the scope of guidance has expanded from vocational guidance to include educational and socio-personal guidance as well. With the rapid increase in guidance services in schools, research concerning the guidance program has not kept pace. Much of the information and material published is based on an inadequate background of research. Authors have speculated on the values and place of guidance, but have had …

An Evaluation Of An Inventory Instrument Designed To Measure The Attitudes Of Some Iowa High School Band Students, Joseph Doering Doolittle

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study is an attempt to determine whether an attitude-inventory instrument applicable to high school band students can be developed. The purpose of this study is to gain evidence supporting these general hypotheses: That an attitude inventory can be constructed to measure the responses of high school band students in certain attitude areas. That differences can be found between the responses of high school band students having positive attitudes toward the band program, and those band students having negative attitudes toward the band program. That band directors can discriminate between high school band students having positive and negative attitudes, but …
