What's Happening To The Elementary School Library?, Joan Henderson

Graduate Research Papers

Far too many adults and children have not had especially pleasant experiences with libraries in the past. The traditional quietness was enough to scare anyone away. Ordinary people didn't exactly feel welcome inside the walls of these "storehouses of wisdom." Today's library has to develop a new image. It must leave the old passive role behind and blossom forth into active participation in the educational process.

The Contributions Of The School Library To The Learning Process, Alice Rose Weber

Graduate Research Papers

The goal of education in our democratic society is to educate citizens to function in such a. society; the goal of the school library service is to facilitate the attainment of that goal. The library program must enrich, support, vitalize and implement the educational program, and encourage each student to reach his potential as a human, a learner and a citizen of both today and tomorrow.

The Comparative Effects Of Individualized And Group Instruction In Bscs Biology On The Ability Of Students To Think Critically, Harry F. Fulton

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Research in the area of critical thinking ability many times involves the use of the Watson and Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA). These abilities involve inference or drawing conclusions from facts or premises, recognition of assumptions or hypotheses, deduction or working from basic premises to conclusions, interpretation of data to derive or explain its meaning, and the evaluation of arguments or evidence. The items on this instrument are not specifically limited to science. As a result, when researching the effect of an instructional procedure in science, the teachers and all other subjects the students are exposed to need to be …

Teaching Teaching, D. J. Moffatt, A. W. Jacobs, W. K. Metcalf

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The role of a modern Anatomy department is threefold (Metcalf, 1970): 1. To teach anatomy and its sub-disciplines, gross anatomy, neuroanatomy, microscopic anatomy and embryology, to people who wish to learn it. 2. To advance the science of anatomy-the structural basis of function. 3. To train graduate students for a future role as anatomy faculty.

Rhetoric: Discovery And Achievement, Cal M. Logue

Iowa Journal of Communication

Recent writings on the function of rhetoric range from a limiting proposal of "advocacy"¹ to the challenging premise of "adapting ideas to the people and people to ideas."² Probably one should simply accept the fact that rhetoric means many things to many people. Inherent to the belief of most theorists, however, is the assumption that without such subjects as dialectic and philosophy " ... rhetoric is blind, for it has not truth."³ Historically rhetoric has been given the servant's role of persuasion. Debate has been over what are responsible and effective means of persuasion: sophistry, truth, style, …

Three Illustrators: William Blake, George Cruikshank And Maurice Sendak, Patricia Twait

Graduate Research Papers

Children's books have been a source of delight to them; they have evoked both tears and laughter from young audiences. The illustrator has come to be a partner in the creation of hooks for children. The term children's literature now includes the efforts of both illustrators and authors. It was not always so. For many years children read adult books because there was no such thing as a storybook for children. When they came, the books for children were dull fare. They were moralizing with few, if any, illustrations.

Gradually illustrators began illustrating books specifically for children. The literary content …

The Role Of The Science Supervisor As Perceived By Elementary And Secondary Science Teachers, Thomas Graika

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The problem that was considered in the study was whether the role of the science supervisor was perceived differently by secondary and elementary teachers of science.

A fifty-four item questionnaire was developed. The items on the questionnaire consisted of statements of tasks which a science supervisor could do, and the teachers were asked to respond on a scale of opinion if they considered this task a role of the science supervisor.

The sample represented five school systems in Iowa which employ a science supervisor. Questionnaires were sent to 156 secondary science teachers and 153 elementary teachers. Ninety-five of all the …

The Realistic Approach To Tradition And Change In The Novels Of Rabindranath Tagore, Robert C. Granner

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Rabindranath Tagore was born in 1861 and died in 1941. Both his life and thought span the epoch of renascent India, and his novels realistically reflect the problems and struggles of the Indian people during the past century. In this thesis Tagore 's development, not so much as a great novelist but as a social commentator and reformer, is discussed. His role as a liberal mediator between the violent reactionary and the vehement traditionalist is a predominant factor in all of his prose writings, and it is from this point of view that each of his novels is examined.

A Survey Of Post Student Teacher Appraisal Of The Course, Elementary School Methods And Materials, At The University Of Northern Iowa, Mary Nan K. Aldridge

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Elementary School Methods and Materials is a course which represents a major part of the professional semester and occupies a strategic position in the sequence of the elementary education major at the University of Northern Iowa. Those who plan course content make every effort to coordinate the theoretical aspects of the teaching process with practical classroom application. Though there has been a great deal of freedom for students to choose projects which meet their particular needs, interests, and personalities, it is considered that there exists a common core of knowledges and understandings which contribute background for the teaching task. By …

Occupational Prestige Rankings And Future Occupational Expectations Of Iowa High School Seniors, Jackson Neal Baty

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study is an analysis of occupational prestige ratings of 3,122 Iowa high school seniors belonging to the class of 1970. They represented 90 percent of the seniors attending 21 randomly selected high schools, 18 of which can be categorized as public schools, two of which are parochial (Roman Catholic), and one of which is a university-connected laboratory school. There was one school (less than 250 students), one medium-size school (250-499 students), and one large school (500 or more students) in each of Iowa's seven congressional districts

Two Program Processors For The Preparation Of Instructional Materials In Chemistry, Lloyd V. Gayman

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The use of inductive or inquiry techniques in the teaching of science has been emphasized. A possible technological aid to the inquiry process is the electronic computer. A review of the literature in this area led to the development of two program processors, one to produce simulated experiments, the other to generate problems for student use.

The first processor, SIM/G, can be used to produce tables or charts. Five sample programs were prepared to illustrate the use of the SIM/G processor. Directions for use of the processor have been given. Documentation has included both a complete verbal explanation and a …

A Study Of Personality Problems And Vocal Nodules In Children, William Lee Glassell

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The investigator found several children with vocal nodules in the schools he served. A review of the literature revealed that vocal abuse is the commonly considered etiology of vocal nodules. Vocal abuse did not fit several of the children who tended to be quiet and withdrawn. A further review of the literature was instituted in an attempt to find some feature of commonality between quiet children and noisy children which could explain why quiet children develop vocal nodules. Several authors discussed functional voice disorders as the result of personality problems. Few, however, related their conclusions directly to vocal nodules. The …

The purpose of this study is to see if there is agreement among selected writers regarding the goals of the junior high General Music course. ·The purpose is also to see if these writers provide guides or directions which can be used by individual teachers when establishing the goals for their classroom situations. Sources for this study were selected from theses, books, and related …

Hedonism And Puritanism In Southern Fiction, Ruth Joan Dvorak

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

After relative inactivity in Southern letters, there occurred what is called. the Southern Literary Renaissance. Critics have since tried to account for it. One effort is the attempt to identify basic themes in the works. One persistent theme is that of religious or moral conflict, involving a stern Calvinism and a pervasive sense of guilt. Noticed too is the element of paradox as an outstanding characteristic of the South a.nd of the Southern character. w. J. Ca.sh, in his book The Mind of the South, presents an interesting theory regarding the paradoxical nature of the Southerner. He states that the …
