Essential Learner Characteristics In Instructional Design, Fong-Chin Fan

Graduate Research Papers

"The role of the professional educator is to be familiar with those factors affecting learning and to design educational experiences that maximize the learning that occurs" (Armstrong, 1987, p. 157). If professional educators want learners to gain the most from education, they must consider those factors affecting learners' learning. For example, as noted by Kemp (1985), suppose that you had never known the design of instruction, and you begin your lecture at the first class meeting of your course. You have put a lot of work into developing the beginning unit in order to influence students with the value of …

Alcoholism And Perceptions Of Family Of Origin, Sonne K. Granquist

Graduate Research Papers

Theories regarding the etiology of alcoholism abound in the literature. Conceptualization of the disease has ranged from that of individual pathology to a symptom of family dysfunction. In the past, treatment providers have concentrated their efforts on treating the individual alcoholic while virtually ignoring issues regarding the adult alcoholic's family of origin as well as problems found in the alcoholic's nuclear family. More recently, theorists and therapists have begun looking at the impact of the family of origin on the development of alcoholism in certain individuals. Greater understanding of the disease has come to include examining not only the individual's …

A Personal Vision For Quality Leadership: A Reflective Essay, Wendy R. Cruse

Graduate Research Papers

Educational administration of today presents many challenges for both new and veteran administrators. Many of these challenges have evolved in response to federal, state, and local pressures. Today's administrators can no longer be blind to these influential agencies, but must be visional strategic planners in order to effectively handle the problems they are faced with today.

An Argument For Quality Teacher Preparation In Universities That Prioritize The Research Role, David K. Leslie

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

My views regarding the role of research-oriented universities in teacher preparation have been strongly influenced by three different, but related, experiences. First, my undergraduate teacher education preparation was in a five-year program at a California state college evolving from a "normal school" to a "state college." During my master's program, it became a "regional state university." Second, after more than a decade of public school teaching and subsequently completing a doctorate in physical education curriculum, I became chair of the men's professional preparation program at a research-oriented university, The University of Iowa. Third, my department was a pioneer and leader …

Links With The Rural And Small Schools, James D. Jess

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

Two-thirds of Iowa's 425 school districts enroll fewer than 750 students in grades kindergarten through 12. Nearly one-half enroll fewer than 500 students and 49, or 12%, enroll fewer than 250 students. Iowa's statistics on school districts closely mirror those of the United States where we find one-third of our nation's elementary and secondary age school children being educated in two-thirds of our nation's public school systems. The vast majority of these small school systems are located in rural areas that share the common demographics of small size, population sparsity and isolation. School statistics further indicate that small and rural …

A Rationale For Enhancing The Role Of The Non-School Voluntary Sector In Youth Development (Paper In Progress), Karen Pittman, Marlene Wright, Geeta Tate

National Youth Leadership Symposium Monographs

Growing awareness of the seriousness of youth problems in this country (e.g., substance abuse, delinquency, early pregnancy, early school leaving) and of the magnitude of these problems compared to those experienced by youth in other countries has led policymakers, practitioners, and the general public to agree with the above statement. We, as a society, are not offering something to our young people that we should be. The questions that need to be answered are obvious: What are we doing wrong? How did it happen? How do we change the situation? In the spirit of this concern, we explore in this …
