The Relationship Between Teacher Sex Role Models And Career Aspirations Of High School Industrial Arts Students, Janet Lynn Robb

Graduate Research Papers

Sex role stereotyping has been the focus of a number of research projects trying to determine just where stereotyping lies and ways to eliminate it. Although most of the research points toward role modeling as a major cause, little has been done to test that theory.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between teacher sex role models and the career aspirations of students enrolled in high school industrial arts courses throughout the United States. This study was limited to tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students enrolled in industrial arts programs in high schools in the United …

Noise Pollution In The Industrial Arts Laboratory, James A. Sundell

Graduate Research Papers

Industrial arts instructors have always recognized the need for a pleasant and safe environment in their laboratories. Advancements in technology have increased noise pollution in this environment.

Sounds have a useful and important place in the laboratory; also, they can have adverse effects. The instructor can tell immediately if a machine is not performing correctly by the sound it emits, while the operation of the same machine can distort an important verbal communication. Excessive decibel levels may be generated at different times threatening the psychological and physiological well-being of teachers and students (Brown, 1979; Hicks, 1973; Swogger, 1973).

A Content Analysis Of The Portrayal Of The Emotionally Disturbed In Books Popular With Adolescents, Judith A. Heusinkveld

Graduate Research Papers

The major purposes of this research were to analyze the portrayal of emotionally disturbed characters in books which adolescents are reading and to attempt to determine if this portrayal was realistic and balanced in terms of the entire group of books. A panel of experts was used to obtain a sample of ten books. The portrayals of twelve characters from these ten books were analyzed using an inventory of twelve elements which were derived from traditional stereotypes of the emotionally disturbed. The results of this analysis suggested that, for the most part, a realistic and generally balanced portrayal of emotionally …

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?

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 …

Teaching Interpersonal Communication Through Literature, Marvin D. Jensen

Iowa Journal of Communication

An introductory collegiate course in interpersonal communication is usually experience-centered. Beyond this introductory level, theory may be explored in a variety of ways. One approach in an advanced course is the application of communication theories to case studies in human behavior. Such cases may be drawn from psychological texts and/or the personal experiences of class members. Another source can be literature--in the form of short stories, novels, plays, and screenplays. One criterion of high-quality literature is that it provides insight into reality. Faulkner believed the best writers explore the human spirit, which is "capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance." …

A Comparative Study Of The Performer's Empathic Process In The Arts Of Interpretation And Modern Dance, Patricia Reddinger Geist

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The present study was designed as a comparative analysis of the performer's empathic process in the arts of interpretation and modern dance. The similarity between the performer's empathic process in both arts provided a method for exploring the utility that modern dance offers the interpreter. It was the purpose of this thesis to suggest that training in modern dance provides an experience in expressive movement which develops the interpreter's ability to empathize with the literature.

The performer's experience in modern dance and interpretation involves an empathic response to stimuli presented within the choreography or within the literature. Examination of various …

The Relationship Between Reading Levels And Self-Concept Of Disabled Readers, Marilyn Ann Cox

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It has been noted that emotional factors are an integral part of a child's success in learning to read. Research indicates that one of the most important personality factors is self-concept. Because the disabled reader has met with repeated failures his self-concept appears to be significantly affected. However, the fact that each person's self-concept is private, personal, and not directly observable makes it difficult to measure. A complication in self-concept measurement is that there have been almost as many measuring devices as there have been studies. Two types of self-concept measures are discussed in the review of literature. The purpose …
