Culture And Cognition: The African American Thinker In The Classroom, Steve K. Hunt

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In recent years, the importance of recognizing the unique characteristics of different cultures has drawn increased attention. In fact, many scholars have suggested that educators must be especially concerned with understanding the implications of cultural diversity in the classroom. Specifically, educators are becoming increasingly aware that different cultural groups may utilize different cognitive styles in the classroom. The purpose, of this study was to identify the cognitive styles utilized by African American students in the classroom. The participants in this study were students of a large urban high school in an Iowa community of approximately 95,000. The 43 students who …

Factors Effecting Personal Responsibility And Pregnancy Prevention, Anne M. Brenneman

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Teen pregnancy has been an area of concern in the United States for many years. Given the growing number of births to girls between 15 and 19 years of age, it is of no wonder. Teens are taking risks for unwanted pregnancy and disease, although they have no intention of experiencing childbirth. The research continually debates the relationship between birth control, sex education, and the use of that knowledge. The Psychosocial Factors of self esteem and locus of control have also been found to be determinants of adolescent birth control use and sexual activity, although the strength of this determinant …

An Examination Of The Labor Time Of A Robot Weld Cell, Chris S. Conrad

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this study was to determine the labor time differential, if any, of a robot weld cell as compared to manual welding methods. Also, the variability of labor time differential between part numbers was to be examined.

The results of the study was intended to assist future investment decision makers in maximizing the return on capital expenditures. It was proposed that the labor time differential determined by this study be applied to the future labor and overhead rates in determining the return on investment for a robotic weld cell purchase. The variability of labor time differential between part …

Alcohol Abuse Among Female College Students, Luanne Renee Hoskins

Graduate Research Papers

Within the past six years, there have been three major studies that have addressed the issue of the significance of researching differences between drinking patterns of male and female college students (Chomak & Collins, 1987; Temple, 1987; Schnur & MacDonald, 1988). There has been little research done with the area of female drinking behavior and the authors of these major studies have indicated a need for further research in this area.

Schools And The Blended Family, Randy O. Morris

Graduate Research Papers

Statistics show that children of blended families are a rapidly growing population in schools. Some demographers predict that as many as one-third of all children born in the 1980's may live with a stepparent before they are 18 (Kantrowitz & Wingert, 1990). School personnel have predominantly related to students' families under the assumption that all two-parent families were nuclear, intact, biological families. There is a need for schools to make adjustments to acknowledge the existence of the growing number of stepchildren and blended families in society (Crosbie-Burnett & Skyles, 1989). 1 Writers differ in their definition of blended families. A …

Reflections On Secondary Principalship: A Reflective Essay, Charles A. Clark

Graduate Research Papers

To be an educator is a difficult thing to define. To describe leadership would be an equally difficult task. So when one begins to entertain the notion of educational leadership or principalship, it is a struggle to develop a clear vision of what one would be doing if optimally engaged in the occupation. This paper attempts to clarify the uncertainty surrounding those tasks of educational leadership. Personal beliefs, philosophies, attitudes, knowledge and vision are developed and shared throughout this writing as various aspects or parts of principalship are examined.

Which Assessment Model To Use When?, Gary Phye

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

Assessment must be multi-dimensional to be effective. The two major dimensions are standardized achievement tests and classroom assessment involving teacher developed tests. Both types of assessment must be included in an assessment scheme that attempts to monitor student achievement and student learning. I will argue that while achievement is the product of learning, it is not assessed in the same manner.

The concept of assessment is itself multifaceted. Assessment involves a structured plan that includes the use of several types of instruments we frequently call tests. Thus, several models of assessment would be employed in any classroom. The key factor …

The Foster Child And The School Counselor, Barbara A. Schmitt

Graduate Research Papers

John sits quietly in his sixth-grade classroom, trying to concentrate on his school work. Coming to this particular school at the beginning of fifth grade, he sometimes finds himself thinking of his past schools and homes. His current home, (not including his former adoptive home), is his fourth foster home since he and his sister were removed from their biological parents' home eight years ago. John's initial out-of-home placement was a result of neglect and abuse inflicted by his natural parents. Subsequent placements were made because of further abuse, time constraints, and lack of interest.

Strategies To Address The Issues Of Survivors Of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Marti Roling

Graduate Research Papers

Many young men and women are experiencing the same dilemma as the young poet. In a study by Russell (1986), 38% of her sample reported at least one incident of incestuous and/or extrafamilial sexual abuse before reaching eighteen. Counselors, therefore, can expect to see a large number of clients with some sort of sexual abuse history. They are experiencing horrors of yesterday, needing help and needing it now. Counselors must be knowledgeable about the issues faced by these clients and about intervention strategies for helping them resolve those issues.

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome And The Role Of The School Counselor, Martha J. Devault

Graduate Research Papers

Concern over the consumption of alcohol and pregnancy have existed since the beginning of time. Reaching as far back as the Biblical era, women have been warned about the potential dangers and lasting effects of mixing alcohol and pregnancy together (D'Entremont, 1990). Despite unpublished 19th and 20th century scientific observations clearly describing the effects of alcohol on newborn babies and developing children, it has not been until the last 20 years that these problems have been given official recognition and labeled by the health and medical professions as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or FAS. As recently as 1973, alcohol was still …
