Effects Of Stimulus Meaningfulness On Star Discrimeter Performance, R. H. Peters

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In a motor task provided by the Star Discrimeter, Ss learned to move a wobble stick into channels corresponding to six verbal stimuli. Two levels of stimulus meaningfulness (M) were used. The stimuli for the high M group were words, and the stimuli for the low M group were paralogs. Prior to motor task learning, 30 of the 60 Ss in each M group received relevant stimulus familiarization training. The S pronounced each dissyllable 20 times. The remaining Ss received irrelevant familiarization training. The S pronounced the name of six common shapes 20 times each. The results indicated that both …

The Development Of A Handbook For Use In The Selection Of Materials On Communism For Secondary Social Studies Classes, Richard Raymond Olmsted

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Following World War Two, the United States and the Soviet Union became the chief rivals for world leadership. Because of this, communism replaced fascism as the totalitarian ideology of most concern to Americans. This new situation brought with it a series of problems for the public schools: Should secondary schools teach about communism? How should this topic be approached? What materials should be provided for use by high school students?

For a time, public hysteria prevented the logical resolution of these problems. George B. Bruntz describes this period in the following way:

There was a time when the mere mention …

Your Teen-Ager And The School Counselor: A Handbook For Parents, Donald Lee Bennink

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Public Law 85-864 was signed by the President of the United States on September 2, 1958. This law, known as the National Defense Education Act (hereafter referred to as NDEA), is composed of ten titles affecting most levels and many phases of education. Its billion dollars, though authorized for a dozen separate programs, have been authorized for a single purpose - that every young person, from the day he first enters school, should have an opportunity to develop his gifts to the fullest. This is the emphasis that gives the Act its name, for it recognizes that in a free …

Since the advent of "Sputnik I" in October of 1957 there has been a rapid awakening of the American public to the realization that now, more than at any other time in history, the intellectual resources of the country must be developed to their maximum.

A Study Of The Career Patterns And Formal Education Of Selected Managers Of Illinois Limited Price Variety Stores, Robert W. Jefferson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In American society prospective workers focus much attention upon the selection of a career occupation. The choosing of an appropriate field is becoming increasingly important at an earlier age in a young person's life. The choosing of an occupation may be affected by parents, friends , aptitudes, education or skills required, and the ambition of the prospective employee. The increase or decrease of the number of workers in a given field of employment may affect the desire of prospective employees to enter a given position or level. Today we are witnessing rapid technological changes that have eliminated some jobs, created …

The Role Of The School Counselor As Viewed By Parents And Counselor-Educators, Donald Allen Fleming

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Guidance in the public schools of the United States is a fairly recent development. The Vocational Bureau, established by Frank Parsons in 1909, represented one of the first organized efforts to supplement home guidance. Since that time the scope of guidance has expanded from vocational guidance to include educational and socio-personal guidance as well. With the rapid increase in guidance services in schools, research concerning the guidance program has not kept pace. Much of the information and material published is based on an inadequate background of research. Authors have speculated on the values and place of guidance, but have had …

A Survey Of Attitudes Toward Guidance Of Guidance Counselors And Graduate Students Preparing As School Administrators, Jan Ness Flickinger

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of the big problems of the present mass educational program in America is how can the educational program be organized so each child has an opportunity to satisfy his needs. Although there is no completely satisfactory answer to this question, one attempt to solve this problem has been the establishment of guidance programs in schools. For the purpose of this study the writer is assuming that guidance is an essential part of education and consequently needed in school.

An Evaluation Of An Inventory Instrument Designed To Measure The Attitudes Of Some Iowa High School Band Students, Joseph Doering Doolittle

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study is an attempt to determine whether an attitude-inventory instrument applicable to high school band students can be developed. The purpose of this study is to gain evidence supporting these general hypotheses: That an attitude inventory can be constructed to measure the responses of high school band students in certain attitude areas. That differences can be found between the responses of high school band students having positive attitudes toward the band program, and those band students having negative attitudes toward the band program. That band directors can discriminate between high school band students having positive and negative attitudes, but …

Error Trends In Paired-Associates Learning After Response Familiarization, Maryhelen Hart, Marlyn E. Marshall

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A study was run to reveal the course of overt errors over paired-associate trials when response learning was eliminated, and to determine a method of satisfying Ss on such a task for use in treating data from a subsequent motor task learned to the same stimuli. Sixty-eight Ss were given thorough response familiarization, followed by 17 anticipation trials of a paired-associate task using verbal responses to non-verbal stimuli. Subsequently they received 30 trials on the Star Discrimeter. Mean % correct responses and errors were plotted across pretraining trials. Ss were divided into two strata on the basis of pretraining scores …
