An Experimental Comparison Of Associative Responses To Two Types Of Randomly Derived Stimuli, George G. Karas, Sheldon K. Edelman, Richard J. Farrell, Thomas E. Dubois

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Two methods for constructing random shapes were compared as to their effect upon latency of the associative response. Attneave and Arnoult had hypothesized that their Method II shapes would contain less stimulus information than would their Method I shapes. In the present study this hypothesis was substantiated only for female subjects. It was concluded that a reduction in stimulus information could not alone account for these results and that subject variables such as set and response threshold variability, must be included in the interpretation of results.

The Records Of Selected Grundy Center, Iowa, High School Graduates Who Completed College And Comparable Graduates Who Did Not, Francis Fuhs

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

If our country is to maintain the position of a world power, it is important that each of its citizens receives an education in proportion to his potential. As Ginzberg states in his book, Human Resources: The Wealth of a Nation, "While every society must get along with such talent as it has, its accomplishments and even its survival will depend on its developing the maximum number of people with high potential. A counselor in the educational system might think in terms of this ideal of maximum development when visualizing an educational goal for his high school group. But ours …

A Survey Of Articles Pertaining To Education Appearing In Selected Non-Professional Magazines During The Five-Year Period 1953-1957, Gerald Eugene Dockum

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

There are very few people who are not earnestly interested in education, especially if they have children of their own enrolled in school. Nearly all of these people realize that the school is one of the most important agencies which exert an influence upon their children and which should provide them with the tools to develop for themselves a future of the type parents normally desire for their children. This, plus the fact that education is publicly-supported, makes a vast majority of the people of our country vitally interested in our system of public education.

Lost Worlds: Three Original One-Act Plays, Alice Hickey Flinn

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Someone has said that the urge to create literature is common to most of mankind. "Everyone wants to write a book. " Most people will admit, too, that the wish to create something of value seems to be an intrinsic part of man's character. In this particular instance , these three plays represent a life- long fulfillment of a long-time desire o The writer's primary aim is to at tempt to create literature. A secondary aim is to have the plays sustain dramatic interest. A third aim is to fulfill a requirement for a master's degree at the State College …

An Analysis Of The Moral Attitudes Of High School Sophomores And Seniors In The Public Schools Of Cedar Falls, Iowa, Beaumont Roger Hagebak

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It has been more than twenty years since G. W. Allport said, "The concept of attitude is possibly the most distinctive and indispensable concept in contemporary American l social psychology." Yet even though two decades have passed his words are still as vital and meaningful as when they were first uttered. The importance of attitudes, of value systems, needs no documentation or proof. We all teel the effects of the attitudes of others, we all affect others by our attitudes, every day of our lives.

The Place Of English As A Foreign Language In The Ethiopian School System, Haile J. Abedjie

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Until the Italian occupation of 1936-1941 the name Ethiopia, which dates back to Biblical times, had been shrouded with myth and mystery. To some it was a reminder of the legend of the Queen of Sheba and to others it evoked the myth of Prester John. 1 Although the Italo-Ethiopian war of 1935-1936 did much to help foreigners place Ethiopia on the map of the world, even now only a very few foreigners can converse intelligently on Ethiopian history, culture, or politics.

A Drop-Out Study Of The Cedar Falls Community Schools, Bruce Roy Amble

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Every decade of this century has evidenced an increase in the amount of public education being received by American youth. Even so, the magnitude of concern over the number of students dropping out of school has not diminished. In 1900 the rate of students to continue in school until graduation was 6.4 to every 100 seventeen-year-olds in the population; more recently the ratio was 60.0 to every 100.

A Follow-Up Study Of Ellsworth Junior College Graduates And Students Who Transferred To Baccalaureate Colleges Or Semi-Professional Schools, Eleanor J. Andershok

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The junior college is uniquely American and a part of our total educational pattern as evidenced by its growth and progress in the last fifty years. The need to progress and improve is felt by all institutions of education. National educational surveys are made, but they do not reflect the heart of the individual school; they do not point out its individual strengths and weaknesses; they do not indicate the achievement of unique objectives and goals. If the junior college is to improve its educational effectiveness, it can only be done through introspection and self-study.

Guides For The Elementary Teacher In The Playing Of Selected Simple Rhythmic, Melodic And Harmonic Instruments, Lorraine Salome Augustyn

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

"There are no first, second, third fourth, fifth or sixth graders in the elementary schools of Appleton, Wisconsin. Children are ungraded. They are neither promoted nor failed. They do not receive report cards. Under Appleton's Continuous Progress Plan, youngsters move along as fast as their individual abilities can take them. Free from the artificial limits of grade requirements they push on beyond these arbitrary boundaries. In the process they meet the toughest competitive challenge in the world--the challenge to achieve their highest capacity.'

Thus, does Arthur Morse describe the educational philosophy of the Appleton Elementary Public Schools. This philosophy is …

Critical Analyses Of Selected One-Act Plays For Use In Junior High School, Alice Margaret Hayes

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Production of plays and participation in plays should be integral parts of the junior high school program today, and there is a need for a critical analysis of plays of value and worth to the age-group that comprises the enrollment in a junior high school (ages 12-14). Lists of plays are available for the senior high school and for the elementary school but few studies have been made of plays suitable for the junior high school. There is no known analysis of such plays; hence, the need for this study. To know what is meant by plays of value and …

Informational Materials In The Homes And Achievement In School Of Elementary Students At Iowa Falls, Iowa, Kenneth L. Christensen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In this rapidly changing world children are engaged with problems of science, social studies, literature, and world events. Their interests have been widened by travel, radio, television, newspapers, and magazines. Their curiosities have been aroused by new experiences and they search for related facts. The textbook formerly occupied a central position in learning; but in the complex society of the present, neither a single textbook nor multiple texts are adequate to enable the school to fulfill its responsibility for the education of children. Not only does a modern educational program demand more informational materials than did the narrow "essentials" program …

Student Counseling Program In Twenty Iowa Colleges, Lyle K. Henry, Donald R. Ortner

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A survey was made of certain student personnel practices in twenty Iowa colleges by submitting a questionnaire and obtaining follow-up data one year later. While most colleges provide student counseling service, specific measures and procedures vary widely. There is no uniformity in regard to the testing program or the means for assisting students with "How to Study" problems. Generally speaking, any professional counseling effort is supplemented by adviser service rendered by regular faculty members.

The Principal’S Role In The Library Services In Iowa High Schools With Enrollments Of 200 To 300 Students, Arthur E. Borwick

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

For many years colleges and universities have provided reasonably adequate instruction tor school administrators in moat of the areas of their professional education. Required courses in administration, curriculum, and supervision of the secondary school give attention to nearly all phases of the school program. However, it is questionable whether some phases of secondary education have been properly covered, and one of these is the library. Since all areas of responsibility are of concern to school administrators, it is fundamental that the role of the school library be adequately understood and supported by administrators if the library is to make its …

Evidences Of Positive And Negative Transfer Effects Between Highly Similar Perceptual-Motor Tasks, Ronald H. Peters, John R. Reil, David Leonard

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One hundred twenty male undergraduates, each assigned to one of two groups, performed highly similar perceptual-motor tasks varying in difficulty. The tasks were provided by the Multipoint Two-Hand Coordinator. On Day 2, one-half of the Ss in each group changed tasks while one-half continued on the same task. Evidences of positive and negative transfer effects were found with greater positive transfer from the easier to the more difficult task than in the reverse direction. A striking feature of the study was the persistence of negative transfer effects.
