High School Science Achievement As Related To Interest And I.Q. Among Graduates Of Thibodaux High School, Thibodaux, Louisiana, And Malcolm Price Laboratory School, Cedar Falls, Iowa, Louis E. Barrilleaux

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Numerous articles on the possible causes of an increasing shortage of scientific manpower have been published. Many of these articles have stressed the lack of sufficient guidance in directing capable students in high school toward an emphasis in science. It is pointed out that insufficient guidance alone, among high school students, is a major factor in the increasing shortage of scientific personnel. As a result, the schools have been under criticism.

The Status And Needs Of Guidance Programs In Iowa High Schools, Clarence Stanley Carney

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The goal of education today is to provide an opportunity for each student to develop to the optimum. The task or guidance programs and their personnel is to facilitate this development and the accompanying adjustments of the students to their ever-changing needs and environment. Since this emphasis on the position of guidance in the schools is bec0ming more important each successive year, this has been an opportune time to investigate and evaluate progress in guidance programs on a state-wide basis. This study attempted to investigate guidance programs as they existed during the 1959-60 school year in Iowa high schools as …

A Program Of Correlation For The Sixth Grade Teachers Of India, Jagdish C. Goyal

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The people of India had long been dissatisfied with the educational program which existed prior to the Basic system of education. The traditional system which preceded Basic education originated with the Charter Act of 1813 of the East India Company of Britain. Only a relatively few persons benefited directly from this system; it never reached the masses. This policy of "downward infiltration" created some complex and unfavorable results. It is important to note in this connection a statement from the 1958 UNESCO world Survey of Education that "owing to defects in the official policies, the position of mass education in …

A Program Of Curriculum Development For The Secondary Schools Of Thailand, Chuang Bejrananda

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Prior to about 1870, Thailand had no formal school system. Education in general was undertaken as a family task. However, as society became more complex, special institutions were developed to promote desired educational activities. Such developments have been gradual, and in large measure in reference to national interests.

Correlates Of Achievement In A Veterinary Medicine Curriculum, Thomas E. Hannum

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Comparison Of The Performances Of Analyzers And Non-Analyzers During Alternation Practice On A Perceptual-Motor Task, Richard W. Sheldon

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A total of 15 analyzers and 15 non-analyzers were given an initial five standard trials and then 58 units of alternation practice on the Iowa Pursuitmeter. Each unit of alternation practice consisted of three reversed trials followed by one standard trial. The specific purpose of the study was to determine whether or not individual differences in the amount of interference displayed during alternation practice can be attributed, at least in part, to a tendency to analyze. The results lend some support for the view that the analyzers were less susceptible to interference than the non-analyzers.

Empathic Ability Compared As To Environmental Setting And Concept Of Measurement, Alice Jane Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Since the turn of the century there has been a growing controversy as to the definition and significance of the term "empathy" in the separate fields of esthetics and psychology. People concerned with both areas use a similar basic definition - the ability to "feel into" an object or another person. It is in the attainment of this ability and the ways in which we can use it that the definitions vary. In the esthetic sense, empathy is thought of as a process of identification and projection. A person watching a play, for instance, projects himself into the actions and …

Analytic Tendency As A Factor In The Performance Of Women On The Iowa Pursuitmeter, David A. Hills

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Women subjects were dichotomized into analyzers and non-analyzers on the basis of their verbal statements regarding their approach in solving Kohs-type block design problems. Groups of analyzers and non-analyzers then learned to perform the standard task on the Iowa Pursuitmeter, and were found to differ only slightly in the amount of skill acquired over 24 trials. These results are in contrast to those of Miles for male analyzers who were found to perform at significantly higher levels of proficiency than non-analyzers. A sex difference apparently attributable to the extreme difficulty of the task for women is discussed.

The Effects On The Quality And Rate Of Cursive Writing Of A Seven Months Delay In Its Introduction In The Waterloo Schools, Mary Elizabeth Fredrikson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It has been the policy in the Waterloo school system for the past sixteen years to make the transition from manuscript to cursive handwriting during the last six to eight weeks in second grade. The first part of third grade is spent in a review of the formation of the small and capital cursive letters. Cursive writing is taught throughout the remainder of third grade and used as the primary writing tool throughout the grades. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the quality and rate of cursive writing were affected by delaying the starting of instruction in …

A Study Of The Effects Of The 1958 Junior High School Seminar In Science And Mathematics, Iowa State Teachers College, Upon The Pupils’ Attitudes Toward And Interest In Science And Mathematics, William Richards Babcock

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The current emphasis which the "atomic age" has placed upon the education of "gifted" or "talented" pupils in science and mathematics has provided educators with an opportunity to devise and implement new and unique programs in the elementary and secondary schools. Educators have utilized two approaches in meeting the challenge--acceleration and enrichment. Many secondary schools in all parts of the United States are offering pupils opportunity to take more advanced course work than the traditional curriculum had allowed. College courses, as well as high school subjects, are being offered at the high school level both during the regular academic year …

An Evaluation Of The Activity And Group Guidance Program In Roosevelt Junior High School In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Germaine Hausladen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of the new paths being tried by the Cedar Rapids schools is the home room guidance and activity program. The plan was the result of a two year study of a committee of teachers working under the supervision of the Director of Secondary Education. Considering the time and effort spent on the project, it is only reasonable to assume that there should be some measure of evaluation to see how the objectives are being met. That evaluation is the purpose of this research.

A Study Of Emotion In Selected Plays Of George Bernard Shaw, Winifred Hager Holkeboer

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of an infinite number of descriptions of George Bernard Shaw portrays him as a young Irishman who descended upon England with broom in hand, and, finding it full of philistine abominations, proceeded to make things lively for his self-satisfied host by sweeping the stables clean. Any sensible estimate of this remarkable man must at least admit to his having left England a different place than it· was when he found it. Indeed, his influence has extended beyond the bounds of his time and place; he stood like· a great cosmic giant astride the span of a near-century-one foot planted …
