A Case For The Liberal Education Of The Dental Hygienist, Melanie R. Hamer

Draftings In

Since the 4th century B.C., arguments have pitted the relative merits of a liberal arts education against those of vocationalism. The liberal arts, with its classic traditions and broad curricular base, for centuries has been touted as the education of the privileged class, while a practical course of study benefitted the artisan and others needing a more immediate occupation. Since the late 1960s, vocationalism has enjoyed a period of intense popularity in the American educational system. Like the artisan of earlier ages, the vocational student upon completion of a program is able to assume an entry level position in a …

A Case For Geology, Lynn A. Brant

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Geology suffers from two enduring stereotypes. The first stereotype is that geology is "about rocks and minerals," period. It is true that the materials, the configurations of matter, studied in geology are largely rocks and minerals, but the study of geology goes much further than this simple intention. It has a lot more to say about the world in which we live than just a study of earth materials. The second stereotype concerns the reasons one should study geology. Many persons, including not a few professional geologists, regard geology's role in society as limited to the finding and producing of …

Parents model a commitment to education and learning by making reading and language an important part of their life and their children 1 s lives.

The Relationship Between Black Student Racial Identity Attitudes, Self-Expectancy, And Academic Performance At The College Level, Primrose Simphiwe Mngadi

Graduate Research Papers

The fact that black student academic performance has persistently fallen short of white student performance has been a matter of concern among educational practitioners and has been documented in countless educational and sociological literature. Not only has this trend been reflected in lower SAT scores and lower GPA's, but also in lower retention and higher attrition rates (Garibaldi, 1986; Wilson, 1981). The results of numerous studies have suggested various factors that might contribute to this unfortunate state of affairs. These range from factors that are internal to the student such as self-esteem, achievement motivation, and self-expectancy, to factors that are …

Using Standardized Tests Scores For Better Education Of Students, Linda W. Wackwitz

Graduate Research Papers

The push for excellence in education has accelerated during the 1980's. As a result, there is renewed emphasis on using standardized achievement tests in American schools.

In a report to the 1980 National Invitational Conference, Jennie Yeh, Joan Herman, and Lawrence M.

The results and use of these results has become a national concern to parents, teachers and others involved in …
