An Analysis Of The Attitudes Of College Students Concerning The War In Vietnam, Lyle K. Henry, Charles Moore, Nancy Moore, Sheryl Kessler, Mildred Stone

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Attitudes of a sampling of students at Morningside College was compared with results from a poll conducted by church magazines. A locally developed Hawk-Dove scale was designed and administered to the college sample and the results compared with certain personal and personality attributes. It was found that college seniors were much more critical of the war than college freshmen. The former were similar to attitudes of clergy while the latter were more similar to the attitudes of laymen. However, aggression scores on the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) were almost identical for freshmen and seniors. For dominance on the EPPS, …

Discrimination Weighting On A Multiple Choice Exam, Timothy J. Gannon, Thomas Sannito

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A multiple choice test (59 items) was given to 141 sophomore males as a final examination in General Psychology. The students were required to indicate their degree of confidence on each item by writing to the left of their answer a 1 (pure guess), a 2 (some guessing-some certainty), or a 3 (complete certainty). The scoring involved making the confidence values positive or negative according to whether the selected answers were correct or incorrect. Three scoring procedures were then compared by correlation techniques to determine if there were any major shifts in student ranking. It was found that by scoring …

Clinical Teaching: Some Experimental Observations, Ralph Scott

Faculty Publications

A study attempted to measure some effects of a 2-week postbaccalaureate workshop on clinical teaching (teaching which provides children with individualized materials and procedures) and to assess administrative encouragement and appreciation of clinical experimentation and innovation. An experimental group of 20 experienced elementary teachers who had participated in the summer workshop and a control group of 49 who had enrolled too late for admission were invited to participate in a clinical teaching experiment. Hypothesis 1; that a higher proportion of the experimental group would agree to participate in a project requiring a clinical report; was not supported. Hypothesis 2 was …

An Apology For The Petrine Doctrine, Arthur Frederick Ide

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Roman Catholic Christianity confesses the belief that man is "like the angels--slightly less than God," when he realizes and fulfills his supernatural vocation through the process of intellectual contemplation, guided by theological thought which is guarded and revealed by the Pope who speaks as and for Christ, having been granted this power by Christ. There are some who cannot accept this view, especially if it incorporates papal infallibility, which they see as a fable, built upon the testimony of Papias of Hierapolis which was elaborated upon by Clement of Alexandria . The office of the papacy is looked upon as …

The Prediction Of Geometry Grades For Seven Linn County, Iowa, Schools, Bernice Rosemary Barrow

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It was the purpose of this investigation (1) to determine the relative value of the Algebra I grade, the Iowa Tests of Educational Development quantitative thinking score, and the Iowa Tests of Educacational [sic] Development composite score in predicting the geometry grade, and (2) to present the findings, using two predictor variables, that would provide the best possible estimate of success in geometry. The study involved 219 students in seven schools in Linn County, Iowa, who were enrolled in geometry in 1966-67. Selection of the schools was made on the basis of information about the Algebra I and geometry textbooks …

The Relationship Between Age And Response Speed With Random Letter Stereograms, Joseph Geffen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The relationships between age and performance for responses to random letter stereograms were examined on three measures: response speed (RS), depth judgment (DJ) and number of errors in locating a figure. These relationships were studied as a function of two stimulus properties: matrix density (MD), defined in terms of percent of letter saturation; and column shift (SC), defined in terms of number of columns of horizontal displacement of the figure. The results supported a prediction of age differences in performance with the RS and the error data: a consistent trend was observed in which the performance of Ss in the …

Wallace And Carver Science Halls, Clifford L. Meints

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The old science building, in which George Washington Carver studied while at Simpson College, was remodeled in 1967, dedicated the Henry A. Wallace Hall of Science, and now houses the Departments of Physics, Geology, Mathematics, and Psychology as well as providing general lecture and recitation rooms. The newer Carver Science Hall was remodeled in 1968 and houses general classroom space along with the expanded Biology and Chemistry Departments. Specific aspects of the remodeling are described, and some sidelights of the building's history are mentioned. Two other honors concerning George Washington Carver at Simpson College are mentioned.

Teaching Beginning Concepts In Mathematics, Mildred Dick Pierce

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to investigate concept development as it relates to the teaching of mathematics in the kindergarten, and to propose a program of activities to be used in developing mathematical concepts with kindergarten children. Basic to determining the strategy to be used in teaching children is a consideration of the background of information the children possess when the teaching begins, and the background of information and the attitudes of the teachers who teach. Since any program which proposes that a different type of learning experience be used implies criticism of the methods now in use, it …

Interaction In Reading Groups: A Possible Cause Of Reading Disability, George H. Hadley

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the method of seating children for a directed reading lesson and the acquisition of a concept taught during that lesson. It was felt that children seated closely together for group instruction distracted one another. This negative interaction in the group caused loss of attention and hindered learning. Subjects were matched groups of girls and matched groups of boys from the two third grades at Malcolm Price Laboratory School in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The control groups were taught a reading lesson while seated with the teacher in a reading circle. …
