Value Patterns In Three Midwest Colleges, John R. Tisdale

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The Allport, Vernon, Lindzey Study of Values reported norms were compared with scores from a sample from three midwest liberal arts colleges. The total college group consisted of 440 Ss, 183 males and 257 females. The individual samples showed both resemblances to and differences from each other and the appropriate sex norms, when they were examined on the basis of the mean values obtained for each of the test's six variables and of the relative rank assigned to each. The composite group showed differences in amounts rather than ranks on the scales. It was concluded that the appropriateness of the …

Psychological Scaling Of Language Development Of Children, Dorothy Sherman, Thomas Shriner, Franklin Silverman

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Certain aspects of the use of psychological rating scale methods for measuring degrees of language development in the speech of children are evaluated. That typed samples from children's speech can be scaled reliably is demonstrated. Comparisons are made among correlation coefficients which were obtained for the purpose of estimating relationships among three measures of language development for the same set of 50 samples of children's language: structural complexity scores obtained by analysis of the samples; scale values of intricacy of language usage obtained by the psychological scaling method of Equal-Appearing Intervals; and mean estimates of age derived from sophisticated observers' …

Teaching Slow Learners In Biology, Mary Placid

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The recurrent question of capacity development for the individual student brings with it the annual problem of helping the slow learner achieve in accordance with his ability. There are primarily five areas of techniques which should be considered when dealing with the slow learner in biology. Application of techniques in these areas will be suggested for groups with I.Q. ranges from approximately 70-85. The areas covered will be: (1) psychology techniques (2) audio techniques (3) visual techniques (4) text requirements (5) laboratory techniques.

Assessing The Connotative Strengths Of Random Shapes, Don Lewis, Joanna B. Boehnert

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

After sets of mutually equally discriminable random shapes, all generated from a single prototype, had been identified, the members of the several sets were immediately recognized as differing in associativeness or meaningfulness. The meaningfulness (m) of each shape was determined through an application of the production method. The computed values of m did not, in many cases, coincide with the meaningfulness of the shapes as judged by several trained observers. Satisfactory indices of the heterogeneity (and, conversely, the homogeneity) of the verbal responses to each of the shapes seemed impossible to obtain. Thereupon, the degree of appropriateness of each …

A Study Of Auditory Discrimination In Lower Elementary Children, Gloria Joan Bahr

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Verbal communication, i.e., speech, is the only unequivocal "human" trait. It is a process of several dimensions which has been the object of many investigations. Auditory discrimination seems to be an essential element in the process of verbal communication and has received much attention, both in the area of normal speech and in speech pathology. Van Riper has suggested that auditory discrimination is both a goal and a technique in speech retraining. He believes that a child with a sound substitution may be unaware that any substitution has occurred. Because the auditory sensations of the correct and incorrect sound may …

A Study Of The Vocal Music Preferences And Interests Of 116 Junior High School Boys In Two Semi-Rural Iowa Communities, Willa Ruth Hunter

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Vocal music activities at the junior high school level are of significant importance in the creative and personal development of the adolescent. During these junior high school years a boy quite often goes through the greatest vocal crisis of his musical life. The physical problem of his changing voice coupled with adolescent fluctuations of interests and moods has discouraged many a boy from becoming a musically interested man. In order to retain and train the adolescent voice for future personal enjoyment, the interest and participation of the junior high school boy in choral activities must be maintained. The use of …

The Effect Of Family Size, Sex Of Siblings And Ordinal Position On Personality Characteristics, Brian Kruger, W.G. Fruehling

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study was designed to analyze data available at Wartburg College with respect to the effects of family variables upon MMPI scores with the purpose of suggesting hypotheses which may be tested in future investigations. The subjects were Wartburg College freshmen entering in the fall of the school years 1963 and 1964. A 5% coefficient of risk was adopted. AxB factorial designs were employed in the analysis of the data. No significant results were obtained for the female subjects on any of the MMPI scales. Four hypotheses were indicated: (a) Males from large families tend to be more introverted than …

Paired-Associates Learning Of Random Shapes And Concrete Nouns Of Two Levels Of Descriptive Appropriateness, Mary J. Catherine Leonard, Don Lewis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Forty college students learned a 12-item list of paired-associates with random shapes as stimuli and concrete nouns as responses. The nouns had been rated high, medium, and low in descriptive appropriateness (da). The pairs were presented either black on white, or white on black, with half the Ss assigned to each condition. Learning was significantly faster for pairs containing nouns with high da values and for the black on white mode of presentation.

An Investigation Of College Success Of Odebolt-Arthur High School Graduates, Odebolt, Iowa, Donna Yvonne Hunter

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Throughout the nat1on there is a rapid increase in college and university enrollments. With this ever-increasing enrollment high school students find it necessary to make earlier decisions concerning their future. Such decisions usually bring forth the question, "Will I be able to succeed in college?" Such a question places much responsibility upon the high school counselor to provide students, as well as parents, with objective information concerning this transition from high school to college. Therefore, high school counselors are in need of more valid methods of making recommendations as to possible success in colleges and universities.

The Utilization Of A Personality Rating Scale To Determine The Relationship Between Peers, Faculty, And Self-Ratings, George Carroll Cordes

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was an attempt to investigate the student's evaluation of himself, as compared with others' evaluation of him. A personality rating scale in the hands of a competent counselor may be of real value. This study provided an opportunity to compare a self-analysis and a peer analysis, giving the counselor some additional data on the ability of the student to know himself.

A Follow-Up Study Of Graduates Of The Division Of Practical Nurse Education, Davenport Area Technical School, To Determine Their Reaction To The Preparatory Program, Robert C. Dickey

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The field of practical nursing has grown considerably in the past ten years. To meet the challenge of growth, schools of practical nursing must be constantly aware of the changing needs of the many institutions their graduates may serve. In order to insure that graduates maintain their effectiveness as an established member of the nursing team, the schools must engage in continuous research to keep their curriculums meaningful and updated.
