Standardized Achievement Tests And Their Implications For Guidance Counselors, John William Hansen

Graduate Research Papers

In the last twenty years the general public has challenged the judgment of professional educators regarding the quality of education provided in public schools (Feldt and Forsyth, 1973). At present, the public is demonstrating an interest in knowing how well students are mastering important academic content and skills. Reassurances that educational expenditures are worthwhile are no longer being accepted in the absence of factual evidence. As a result, there has been increased attention given to the problem of the evaluation of student performance in educational programs.

Inventory: Willingness Of Adolescents To Discuss Personal Concerns With Adults And With Peers, Phyllis Ver Ploeg

Graduate Research Papers

Personal problems continue to be of overwhelming concern to high school students (Olson, 1979). Every year more students below age 18 run away from home. Millions of students abuse alcohol and other drugs. The Department of Health reports one teen in 20 has a drinking problem. Suicide is the second leading cause of death of people ages 15 to 24. Olson (1979) further states that unwanted pregnancies among teenagers have increased, and that about 25 percent of all babies born today are born to teenagers. Child abuse has become a major social problem.

The Newly Unemployed And The Role Of The Comprehensive Employment And Training Program Manpower Specialist I (Msi), Kathleen Cohea Harper

Graduate Research Papers

Unemployment has become an increasing national and local concern. Many people are having to face the prospect of never returning to their old jobs. What employment means and the extent and effects of unemployment were researched in the literature. This research focused on the "newly unemployed"--e.g. white, older (45 years or more of age), married males who have never before experienced the problems and frustrations of long-term unemployment. This specific group was chosen for research because they are a departure from those traditionally seen in the Black Hawk County Comprehensive Employment and Training Program (CETP). The problems relating to their …

Trends In Major Field Of Study For Women In Higher Education: A Comparison Of Iowa And National Data From 1972 To 1981, Rena Gayle Daly

Graduate Research Papers

In the last decade, significant changes have occurred in the makeup of the college student population. Prior to the 19701s middle to upper class white males predominated and the student population tended to be academically homogeneous because colleges determined and limited their enrollments on the basis of academic records and test scores. During the 19701s there was an influx of student admissions from all races and socioeconomic groupings. College student populations changed along sexual parameters, too, with women constituting an increasingly larger percentage of the enrollment in higher education. Indeed, women account for most of the enrollment growth in recent …

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder And The Vietnam Veteran, Doran Butschi

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of the paper was to review the literature regarding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Vietnam veterans for a clearer understanding of the continuing readjustment problems that are affecting thousands of men and women in the United States. Because the Vietnam War was unique in so many aspects, it created unique postwar problems for its veterans.

Research On The Effects Of Grade Retention And Its Implications For Educators, Richard Allen Krone

Graduate Research Papers

Grade retention in the United States is an issue that has been with us since the 1840 1 s, It is an issue that deals with the concepts of liberal student promotion standards vs. promotion based on the competency of strong minimum standards of achievement, Today after one hundred and fourty-five years of discussion and debate the issue remains highly contested and emotional, Many research articles have appeared as well as reports supporting an opinion or describing local practices. The issue remains unresolved and volatile.

How Alcohol Influences A Representative Group Of Rural Ninth Grade Students In Iowa, Steven Taylor Brem

Graduate Research Papers

Abuse of alcohol is one of the biggest health and social problems in the United States today. It is estimated that there are more than fifteen million persons whose drinking is associated with serious personal and social problems, including about ten million who are alcoholics. Alcohol use is often associated with crime, poverty, and other social problems. Alcohol also contributes to physical illness, mental illness, and family conflicts. More than fifty percent of the fatal accidents and a high proportion of the injuries occurring on the nation's highways involve drivers or pedestrians who have had too much to drink. (Nusbrunner, …

The Relationship Between Field Dependence/Field Independence And Health Behaviors Of High School Students, John William Preston

Graduate Research Papers

The United States is in the midst of a second public health revolution (Califano, 1979). The success of the first revolution during the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century lead to the control or eradication of major acute diseases such as; influenza, pneumonia, diphtheria, tuberculosis and gastrointestinal infections. While the death rates from these major diseases fell sharply, from 580 for every 100,000 people in 1900 to less than 30 people per 100,000 in 1970, the proportion of mortality from major chronic and degenerative diseases, such as cancer, stroke and heart disease, increased more than …

Identification Of College Student Dropout Characteristics And Retention Strategies, Debra J. Albrecht

Graduate Research Papers

During the 1960s and 1970s there were two primary reasons why an institution had limited concern with the retention of its students: (1) there were more students than its faculty or facilities could handle. If a number of students did not continue to enroll, it was not a problem since many other students were waiting to take their place. (2) This time period involved a philosophical interpretation of equal education opportunity and the maintenance of academic standards. Many felt they fulfilled obligations for equal educational opportunity if students had easy access to institutions. There was also an assumption that academic …

The Effects Of The Family On A Woman's Decision To Pursue A Nontraditional Career, Kristine Fae Oswald

Graduate Research Papers

Labor statistics have indicated a growing trend in occupations selected by women. Increasingly, women are choosing nontraditional occupations. Numerous explanations have been offered for this phenomena. The role the family plays in the woman's eventual career choice was frequently offered as one set of explanatory variables. The phrase "nontraditional career choice" may be defined as the selection of an occupation by the individual of either sex which is viewed as inappropriate for the individual based upon societal customs. Classic examples of nontraditional career choice are the "male-secretary" and the "female-doctor". The very use of a hyphenated sex-ascription draws attention to …

Differences In Gifted And Nongifted Students And Their Birth Order, Linda Meyer

Graduate Research Papers

In recent years research has been conducted to determine the effects of birth-order on a child. A child's sex, physical attributes, size of family, presence or absence of parents, and order of birth, all have effects on a child's development. Birth-order places a child into a special arrangement with the other members of the family. A child's birth-order in his family is both a structural and a processional variable (Albert, 1980). Family structure determines which family member will have the greatest effect on the child. As a process, birth order helps determine the length and intensity of family influences on …

Values Of Loyalists During The American Revolution: A Symbol-Oriented Social Movements Approach, Rolayne Destephen

Iowa Journal of Communication

Despite nearly thirty years of development, social movement theory in the field of communication is not significantly different than it is in other fields. Communication, or rhetoric, borrows theory primarily from two other areas: history and structural sociology. A traditional historical approach results in a description of the situation and sees the situation as determinant of human action. The structural sociological approach creates an examination of the hierarchical development of the movement and its response to felt needs as determining human behavior. Some sociologists also look at a movement's developmental stages in an attempt to trace a movement's growth.

Communication Competence And Varying Communication Experiences, Mark Redmond

Iowa Journal of Communication

Communication competence is becoming a topic of increased interest. Much of this interest stems from a desire to delineate those skills that should be emphasized in speech communication education of children that will benefit them the most. The constellation of skills is often lumped into the category called communication competence. This interest is justified when one considers the importance that communication is playing in today's society. The United States is known as a melting pot of cultures, and it is likely that the average American will meet and interact with a variety of people. The greater the likelihood of having …

A Test Of Max Weber’S Theory Of Charismatic Leadership In A Third World Case: Cuba’S Fidel Castro, Leida Javier-Vivoni

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In this thesis a limited test of Max Weber's theory of charisma was conducted by applying it to the case of a Third World leader, that of Fidel Castro. This was achieved by reviewing and analyzing Weber's original formulation, the various interpretations of it that followed, and the different ways Weber's theory has been reconstructed for the purpose of guiding research on charisma. Ralph Hummel's (1972) and Richard Fagen's (1965) separate sets of propositions, based on reconstructions of different parts of Weber's theory, were chosen to guide the research on Castro's case. The interpretive data generated by this process constituted …

The Experience Of Migration And Selected Perceptions Of Older Residents Of The Waterloo Black Community, Jacqueline Elizabeth Ellis

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis deals with the experience of migration during the formative years of the Black community of Waterloo, Iowa and perceptions of the quality of life from 1910-1970. This exploratory study is based on survey data and folk/oral history derived fr001 a selected sample of men and women, age 50-90 years, of the Black community of Waterloo. The early history of American Blacks has been grossly neglected by historians and others and, as a result, sources of documented information are limited. Because of this, it is important that existing information be preserved. It is this author's hope that survey data …
