The Effect Of Alternate Schooling On The Self-Concept, James R. Stuart

Graduate Research Papers

In teaching, traditionally the nature of the learner has had little to do wi th what we decided to teach him (Weinstein, 1974). Existential psychology has taken a more individual view of behavior. the existential researcher cannot see the person from outside that person's world. He makes an effort to see the person's world as that person sees it. Existential psychology has attacked the idea of interpreting individual behavior in terms of abstract general laws Each person is dealt with as a unique person. (May,, 1958)

The Games Debaters Play: Or A New Look At The Old Machine, Steven J. Rollins

Iowa Journal of Communication

In 1963, R. P. Allen and J. B. Polisky wrote a letter to the Quarterly Journal of Speech which appeared under the title "The Gorgeous Debating Machine." In the letter, they satirically underscored one of the most critical problems confronting interscholastic debate: That somewhere along the line in academic debate the quest for recognition and prestige has replaced the quest for knowledge. Gorgeous, a (not so) mythical debate coach, posits that 11 [trophies] are more than symbols [of successful tournament competition] ... they are the raison d'etre of the debating machine." One should not be misled by the statement, however. …

Iowa High School Principals’ Perceptions Of The Innovative Role Of The Secondary School Counselor, Russell Newlin

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study had three purposes. The first was to describe the perceptions of Iowa high school principals with regard to some innovative counselor functions. The second was to compare the principals' perceptions of the innovative functions with Iowa secondary counselors' own role conceptions. The third purpose was to compare secondary counselors' perceptions of their principals' response with the principals' actual response.

The literature indicated that the major determinant of the counselor's role and function in the school, other than the counselor himself, was the principal. It was suggested that there was high agreement by principals and counselors on the actual …

Knowledge And Attitudes Pertaining To Sex Education Courses : A Survey Of A Selected Group Of High School Students, Rebecca Sue Barrionuevo

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students' knowledge and attitudes pertaining to sex education courses. Specifically, the following questions were posed relative to the student's sex and his/her sex education background (in school):

1. How accurately will senior high school students match a given list of eleven sex topics with their respective standard definitions as stated in The Encyclopedia of Sexual Behavior? 2. Given a list of sex topics and a second list of possible sources of information, what "first" sources of sex information will most frequently be identified by senior high school students? 3. To …

Jerzy Kosinski’S The Devil Tree: A Work Of Art?, Tom G. Colonnese

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Jerzy Kosinski Is fourth novel, The Devil Tree, is widely regarded as both a technical and imaginative failure. Rather than being an artistic failure, The Devil Tree is in fact a fully mature and variant expression of Kosinski's art. Some of Kosinski's earlier fame was due to a humanistic misreading of his work. But The Devil Tree made it painfully clear that Kosinski 's own ethic-- particularly when concerned with self-realization - was of another order. Interpreted in the full light of his career it can be seen that Kosinski 's The Devil Tree is the logical outcome of both …

The Immediate Recall Performance Of Language Deviant Children For Three Kinds Of Verbal Materials, Donna L. De Shaw

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Current research on language deviant children has included studies of two facets of short term memory-span and accuracy. Investigators have found the language deviant have shorter spans, and that they reproduce material with errors. Menyuk (1969) hypothesized that the difficulty lay either "in their short term memory capacity or the perceptual devices used" (p. 155). Weiner (1972) listed a number of possible sources of difficulty in repeating material including the manipulation of verbal symbols. Such manipulation may fit the encoding process of Aaronson's (1967) model of short term memory which includes an "encoding" stage where items are readied for retention …

Actual Teaching Assignments Call For Broader Pre-Service Training For Chemistry-Physics Teachers, Robert W. Hanson

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Full-time physics teachers are rare in Iowa's high schools-information on record with the Iowa Department of Public Instruction indicates that there are only eleven in the entire state. Full-time chemistry teachers are not much more common-the records show that there are 33 in Iowa. The most common combination involving physics includes chemistry, with 62.5 percent of all physics teachers teaching chemistry and 52.5 percent of all chemistry teachers teaching physics. Most of the 240 teachers who teach both subjects teach a third subject as well. Tables 1 and 2 show the numbers of teaching combinations that include chemistry or physics …

Piaget And Science Teaching, Frederick P. De Luca

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Piaget's life is as interesting as his theory of intellectual development He was born in France in 1896, published his first article at the age of 11, completed his Ph.D. degree in biology at the age of 21, and subsequently devoted his efforts to study, research and teaching in the psychology of intellectual development. Initially he was interested in exploring the idea that intellectual development resulted from adaptation of the individual to his environment, a concept involving a combination of biology and psychology. As his research progressed, however, he found it necessary to incorporate ideas from the disciplines of formal …

Another sixteen students in another elementary school in the same district at the same grade levels were also identified as having specific learning disabilities. This group did not have the benefit of a specific learning disabilities program in their school. These students comprised the control group for this study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the specific learning disabilities program at Floyd in developing …

The Study Of The Transfer Of Learning Between Fine And Gross Motor Skill After Practice On Similar Mirror Reversal Tasks, Roberta A. Klugman

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to investigate the transfer of learning between fine and gross motor skill after practice on similar mirror reversal tasks. Transfer of learning would seem to imply that the learning of either type of skill, fine or gross, may facilitate the learning of the other. This study utilized a quasi-experimental, pre-post, three group design, Subjects were male and female volunteers from junior and senior high schools in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Sixty subjects were used in the analysis of the data with twenty-one in each experimental group and eighteen in the control group. Analysis of covariance …

The Effects Of A Required Physical Fitness Unit On College Women’S Attitudes Toward Physical Fitness, Christine Faust

The study compared attitudes before and after the unit, and the post-unit attitude scores were compared to a fitness unit evaluation form used by the Women's Physical Education Department. A sub-problem of the study was to construct and validate an attitude questionnaire to measure attitudes toward physical fitness. Procedure The subjects used in this study were seventy-seven college women enrolled in four sections of the required 39:001 general education activity courses taught …

The Quality Of Life In A Midwestern Rural Community, James E. Bodensteiner

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis is based on the following assumptions: (a) that the kind of community in which people live affects their sense of well-being, (b) that a community should provide certain qualities for its residents in order that they may enjoy an optimum quality of life, (c) that many large urban population centers are failing to provide the environment for this desired quality of life, and (d) that rural communities are and have been on the decline as population and business centers in the United States. In view of these assumptions this study attempted to discover whether the small rural community …
