Selected Problems In Measuring Extrinsic Religious Values, John R. Tisdale, Larry Walrath

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study deals with problems which have arisen in attempts to measure Allport's construct, extrinsically valued religion. Results here tend not to confirm the homogeneity reported for Wilson's Extrinsic Religious Values Scale, nor has a revised form correlated well enough with the original to be considered equivalent. It is concluded that if the construct is basically valid, then considerable work remains to be done on measurement and concurrent definitional revision.

Continued Study Of The Growth Of Earth Science Offerings In Iowa Secondary Schools, Siles W. Schirner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Earth science has had a phenomenal growth or rebirth in the public schools of Iowa. There were 7 districts teaching earth science in 1960. Five years later there were 53 districts in which earth science was being taught. This is an increase in five years of 657.l %. In September of 1965 there were 82 districts offering the course. This was a 54.7% increase in one year. Included tables about earth science classes and teachers in Iowa public schools for the two years of 1964-1965 and 1965-1966 makes a comparison of the following: (1) undergraduate majors of teachers, (2) graduate …

A Comparison Of Measures Of Finger Recognition, William F. Brewer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The relationship between the Benton tests of finger localization and the Kinsbourne-Warrington tests of finger differentiation and order was investigated. Kinsbourne and Warrington have stated that "finger sense" as tested by their tests and "finger localization" as tested by Benton's tests "cannot be closely compared.'' This hypothesis was tested by giving both tests to 31 mentally retarded subjects. There was a high significant correlation between the two tests. The findings do not support Kinsbourne and Warrington's hypothesis and suggest that it is not necessary to distinguish between "finger sense" and "finger localization.''

Effects Of Verbal Pretraining On Star Discrimeter Performance With Unique Random Shapes As Stimuli, John T. Friar, Harve E. Rawson, Don Lewis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

With two unique sets of random shapes as stimuli, one set for relevant, the other for irrelevant verbal pretraining, and with specially scaled concrete nouns as verbal responses, an experiment was designed as a possible check on Gibson's hypothesis concerning generalization among stimuli in paired-associates learning. Performance on the Star Discrimeter followed verbal pretraining. The errors made on the Star by one of the experimental groups, compared with the errors made by its control, lent some support for the hypothesis; but additional experimentation is needed.

An Analysis Of The Outcomes Of Special Summer Programs For Secondary Students Of High Ability, Robert E, Yager, Gerald Krockover

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The National Science Foundation has supported special training programs for secondary students of high ability since 1959. This is the report of a study of the outcome of such programs upon the participants. Specific values of the programs were reported to be: 1) renewed interest in the remaining year of high school, 2) development of better study habits, 3) better oriented for college, 4) development of confidence, 5) verification and depending of vocational plans, and 6) general stimulation from a superior academic experience.

Air Warfare And The Crisis Of Conscience: 1936-1950, Gale E. Christianson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

is a study probing some of the ethical problems involved in the use of weapons of aerial warfare against cities and civilian noncombatants. The method used has been an examination and analysis of the moral reactions of prominent atomic scientists and Christian theologians. Chapter 1 is concerned with the history of air warfare from 1914 to 1940, tracing the uses of the airplane from the time it was first introduced into combat to the time of the United States entry into World War II. Particular attention is given to the Spanish Civil War and to the Italian campaign against Ethiopia. …

Putting Science Back Together: The Teacher's Role, Walter R. Hearn

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The exponential growth of science, with its continuing fragmentation into separate sciences, is familiar to all of us. About 1000 specialties appear on the current list published annually by NSF for use with the National Register of Scientific and Technical Personnel.

A Sourcebook For The Inexperienced String Teacher, Robert I. Iverson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It is the purpose of this study to compile and organize information concerning the fundamental physical and mechanical techniques of playing each of the orchestral string instruments, such that with this sourcebook of information, the inexperienced string teacher or converted band man could establish and maintain a successful string program in the public schools of America. It is assumed that the musical concepts concerning interpretation, phrasing, form, theory. and counterpoint are a part of the inexperienced string teacher's background. The writer, due to lack of playing and teaching experience with string instruments, has not endeavored to lay down original string …

A Comparison Of Beginning Typewriting Student Achievement On Testing Material Of Standardized Difficulty And Testing Material Of Progressive Difficulty, Donald Eugene Clayton

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Through many years of experimentation in the field of skill psychology and in the typewriting classroom, the principle that a skill must develop from the simple to the complex has been widely accepted. In interpreting the significance of this principle, authorities in the field of typewriting appear to have accepted the idea that the copy used in the early learning stage of typewriting should be easy. It, therefore, seems appropriate to challenge the "easy-first" plan in testing. Perhaps, if beginning typewriting students were tested periodically from the first, on more difficult standardized copy, the results would be more helpful in …

Concept Meanings Of Senior Women Students Who Completed Student Teaching At The State College Of Iowa, Jean Wilma Downs

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to explore the concept meanings of senior women students of the State College of Iowa who had completed the student teaching requirement of the Professional Sequence for the Bachelor of Arts Degree--Teaching Program. An attempt was made to ascertain the similarities and differences in the meanings of the concepts held by the students, and to assess the extent to which they had identified with the role of teaching. The subjects consisted of three groups of senior women students, with no teaching experience other than a nine weeks' period of full-time student teaching completed during …

The Experimental Use Of The Marianne Frostig Developmental Test Of Visual Perception And The Frostig Program For The Development Of Visual Perception For The Diagnosis And Remediation Of Visual Perceptual Abilities In Young Educable Mentally Retarded Children, Mary Ellen Dreier

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

There has been increasing interest in recent years in finding effective approaches to the education of the retarded child. Remedial programs based upon the diagnosis of specific disabilities of the child with mild mental retardation may serve to remove or decrease some of the obstacles to learning for the child. One of these obstacles may be faulty visual perception. This investigation was based upon the experimental use of a test designed to assess visual perceptual abilities and a program designed to train visual perceptual abilities.

Group Decision Versus Lecture As A Technique In Changing Attitudes Of Junior High Students, Richard Lee Elliott

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It is the purpose of this study to (1) determine if educational attitudes of junior high students can be changed through the use of a group decision method and a lecture method by utilizing controversial questions in the area of American history, and (2) compare the effectiveness of a group-decision method and a lecture method in causing a shift in attitude as measured by an opinionnaire scale.
