A Burkean Analysis Of The Offstage Presence In The Plays Of A.R. Gurney, Jr., Mark A. Giesler Jan 1991

A Burkean Analysis Of The Offstage Presence In The Plays Of A.R. Gurney, Jr., Mark A. Giesler

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

WASP playwright A. R. Gurney, Jr. defies the traditional notion of realism with his use of theatrical device. One such recurring device used in his plays is an offstage presence. Critics seem to agree that the onstage action affected by this offstage presence is often contrived. This study offers a response to this critical contention through its examination of the function of the offstage presence in seven of Gurney's full-length plays: Children, The Middle Ages, What I Did Last Summer, The Perfect Party, Another Antigone, Sweet Sue, and The Cocktail Hour. The study's methodology is based on Kenneth Burke's "analysis …

A Foundation Model For The Practice Of School Psychology, George Michael Harper Aug 1990

A Foundation Model For The Practice Of School Psychology, George Michael Harper

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A major crisis in the profession of school psychology has emerged from the body of recent empirical studies in psychology and education. Research on school psychology assessments has suggested that little, if any, data are produced in these evaluations which is useful for the remediation of students' educational problems. Likewise, psycho- educational treatments of the behavior and learning problems of school children have empirically shown only weak, if any, efficacy. An examination of some of the fundamental philosophical, theoretical, and practical foundations of school psychology yielded reasons for the crisis in the profession. The underlying assumptions of externalism and resulting …

Leisure Education In Career Counseling, Susan M. Schmitz Chizek Jan 1990

Leisure Education In Career Counseling, Susan M. Schmitz Chizek

Graduate Research Papers

The interelatedness of work and leisure roles should be viewed as having a significant part to play in the career development process. There remains the need to cultivate an understanding of the functions and contributions of leisure to career development and to learn how leisure may be employed as a campus resource in fostering student development. Many factors are influencing the need for better educated students on quality leisure skills. The nature of work in today's society has changed, and its ability to provide satisfaction to the worker has diminished. However, good quality leisure skills will lead to better satisfied …

Adult Development And Career Stage Theories: Their Application To Staff Development Of Teachers In Midcareer, Margaret Mary Weigel Jan 1990

Adult Development And Career Stage Theories: Their Application To Staff Development Of Teachers In Midcareer, Margaret Mary Weigel

Graduate Research Papers

State policies, local policies, A Nation at Risk. The Carnegie Task Force and the Holmes Group are among the wave of school reports and reforms that have caught schools in a cross-fire of conflicting demands to be more effective. The approaches of school reform range from state-mandated teacher accountability programs, professionalized training, philosophical questions about schooling's structure, mission and methods. The "second wave" reforms have stressed the need to enhance teacher morale, motivation, and participation (Mitchell & Peters, 1988).

Self-Esteem As A Predictive Factor In Juvenile Delinquency, David D. Carlson Jan 1990

Self-Esteem As A Predictive Factor In Juvenile Delinquency, David D. Carlson

Graduate Research Papers

Volumes of research have been written over the past forty years on factors related to delinquency. Theories on the causation of delinquency have been derived from three basic perspectives: biological, psychological, and environmental-sociological (Johnson, Bird, & Little, 1981; Empey, 1982). Biological causes include genetic and physical structure of the child. The psychological perspectives sees delinquency as a result of emotional instability. Environmental reasons include socio-economic status of the child's family, peer group pressure, and neighborhood cultural characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to review the relationship of self-esteem and delinquency and primarily focus on whether a low level of …

Section V: Meeting Student Needs In Rural Education [Blundall], Joan Blundall

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

Many students, families and community members have gone through tremendous changes in the 1980s. The economic and social upheaval of the rural debt crisis of this decade, though put to death by many, continues to impact our rural systems. While many rural youth have experienced major losses direct (change in residence, working status of parents, role changes within the family), some have experienced those changes indirectly (friends exiting communities, discussions of school/church closing). What is unknown to school personnel and helping professionals is the extent of which the changes of the 80s have been processed by children or the extent …

The Role Of The Elementary School Counselor In Dealing With Latchkey Children, Bruce C. Gast Jan 1990

The Role Of The Elementary School Counselor In Dealing With Latchkey Children, Bruce C. Gast

Graduate Research Papers

Children's care of themselves in the absence of adult supervision has existed since the industrial revolution and is an important part of current reality. To ensure that 1 keys to houses are not lost, many children, responsible for letting themselves into their homes after school, are required by their parents to wear keys on a chain around their necks. This explains where the term "latchkey" originated and why these kids are called this today. The latchkey problem is not new; it was a concern more than 80 years ago. Stroman and Duff (1982) reported that the theme of the 1943 …

Leadership Development: A Challenge To Higher Education, Cynthia J. Thompson Jan 1990

Leadership Development: A Challenge To Higher Education, Cynthia J. Thompson

Graduate Research Papers

Our nation is in need of leaders. Alvin Toffler brought this matter to public consciousness in his book, The Third Wave (Elsner, 1984). Pace reinforced this concern when, four years later, he wrote of the need to increase the number and quality of leaders, particularly at the college level. He warned that a society as large as the United States must constantly increase the flow of qualified leaders at all levels in the system to fulfill its responsibilities ( cited in Young, 1986). Evidence that this problem is still present, and possibly getting worse, is found in the comment made …

Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall, Who's The Fairest Of Them All?, Rachelle Bierl

Draftings In

American Popular Culture is highly influenced by the Greek ideal of the ''body beautiful" as transmitted through the Renaissance and late nineteenth century. The art of ancient Greece, unique unto itself, suggested a universality that had not existed prior to the Greek culture (Lerner et al. 131). The ideal physical form, illustrated in classic works which still exist today, had high status in the Greek culture.

Consensus Versus Majority Decision Making, Michael Joseph Mcmanus Jan 1990

Consensus Versus Majority Decision Making, Michael Joseph Mcmanus

Graduate Research Papers

Educational decision making in the past has reflected its business counterpart in developing a centralized body or person to make decisions. Over the past fifteen years, there has been a decided shift in both areas, especially pronounced currently in education, to a more de-centralized process of decision making, incorporating more persons and more levels into the final decision. This shift can best be seen in School Based Management models, Participatory Decision Making models, Teacher Empowerment models, and Shared Decision Making models, all of which compare basically to their business counterpart of Quality Circles. These models share a common idea of …

A Case For The Sexual Impulsivity Perspective For Describing Issues Of Sexual Control, Barton A. Wieden Jan 1990

A Case For The Sexual Impulsivity Perspective For Describing Issues Of Sexual Control, Barton A. Wieden

Graduate Research Papers

Currently, existing sexual dysfunction information has centered upon sexual desire and/or sexual response. Unfortunately, the concern over what has been referred to as sexual compulsivity (Quadland, 1985), sexual addiction (Schwartz & Brasted, 1985; Carnes, 1983), and sexual impulsivity (Barth & Kinder, 1987) had been met with sparse research at best. Much of what is now available is based upon historical discussions of hyperactive sexuality or nymphomania and satyriasis, the former receiving, the plurality of attention despite its lack of an operational definition and its sexist and judgmental connotation (Quadland, 1985).

Psycho-Social Needs Of Patients With Aids, Nancy Baker Jan 1990

Psycho-Social Needs Of Patients With Aids, Nancy Baker

Graduate Research Papers

AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome and is a disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). The AIDS virus (HIV) may live in the human body for years and can be spread to others before any symptoms appear through sexual contact, use of contaminated IV drug needles and, rarely; through blood transfusions. Also, a woman who is infected with the AIDS virus can give it to her infant either before, during, or after birth. It primarily affects the body by attacking the immune system and leaving the body vulnerable to illnesses that can be fatal. These illnesses are called …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Gary L. Koenen Jan 1990

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Gary L. Koenen

Graduate Research Papers

Current educational literature on effective schools has cited the critical role of the principal in establishing an outstanding school. Ernest Boyer (1984) has stated that "in schools where achievement was high and where there was a clear sense of community, we invariably found that the principal made the difference" (p. 22). Such a statement encourages me to consider my own personal attitudes guiding my professional career as a secondary principal.
