History Of The Prison Library At The Iowa Women's Reformatory, Cathy Charleston

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this study was to present a history of the Women's State Reformatory Library at Rockwell City, Iowa. The writer investigated the history of the library between the years 1940 and 1980, but the emphasis has been focused on the relatively recent history of the library because very few records were identified prior to the 1970 1 s. Primary and secondary resources were obtained through 1) personal interviews with past and present employees, and administrative personnel associated with the library, 2) past records at the Reformatory and at the Iowa State Library, 3) periodicals newspapers, and annual reports …

Factors Related To Black Students Not Selecting Science As A Major, Denise Darcell Duncan

Graduate Research Papers

Science is a field of study in which the proportion of blacks is drastically lower than that of the entire population (Humphries, 1976). Various studies have been conducted to investigate the characteristics associated with persons in the sciences (Flakes, 1973). There have also been recent studies of blacks in the sciences and the characteristics associated with them (Tilford, 1974). However, this research has not yet revealed why black students do not major in the fields of physical and biological science.

A Study To Determine Role Conflict In The Counselor-Coach, Thomas James Keller

Graduate Research Papers

A social role is defined as a pattern of expected behaviors common to everyone who holds a specific position in society; a policeman, mother, teacher, counselor, or coach (Locke and Massengale, 1978, p. 162). Hollingshead (1965), using basically the same definition, says that an occupational role is a specific activity, with a market value, which an individual can continually pursue, that supplies a steady flow of income, displays a technology of specific manual and mental operations, and produces a prestige attached to the occupation in accordance with the values of the community (p. 15). Under these two viewpoints, both counseling …

Cognitive Patterns As A Basis For The Classification Of Learning Disabled Children: A Follow-Up Study, John Michael Carr

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to examine the educational implications of subdividing learning disabled children into cognitive ability groups according to a method proposed by Richman (1979b). A set of. unstandardized discriminant function coefficients were used to weight Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) subtest scores. Richman proposed that three cognitive ability groups could then be derived from these coefficients: an Abstract Reasoning group, a Sequencing-memory group, and a General Language Disability group. Richman had developed this procedure through the investigation of a group of children who met a WISC criterion of Verbal Scale +15 ≤ Performance Scale ≥ …

The Evangelical Faith: An Initial Exploration Into The Belief System In One Congregation In Iowa, Pamela Jenkins

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study is primarily concerned with the growing movement in Christianity labeled, loosely albeit, evangelical. The word evangelical has historically had different and changing definitions. Its meaning is traced from its origins in German pietism, Wesley Methodism and the Great Awakening to its present forms and diversifications. This historical grounding has its basis in the theory concerning and surrounding the nature of religion. However, the crux of this study was to answer the question: In what ways and for what motivation, will a person belonging to an evangelical faith combine their religious ideology and their political beliefs? This question, unfortunately …

A Socio-Historical Study Of Convict Labor In Iowa, William Farrell

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Forms of punishment are historically specific. They are only realized in particular economic, political and ideological conditions. In this sense, imprisonment is a relatively recent historical phenomenon. Its rise can be argued to have accompanied the emergence of a modern capitalist market system. This thesis attempts to merge sociological and historical approaches to the study of penal policy by studying the development of convict labor in the United States and Iowa in relation to the development of the American economy. Convict labor was the country's dominant penal practice from the Civil War to the Great Depression in the United States …

The Relationship Between Teacher Sex Role Models And Career Aspirations Of High School Industrial Arts Students, Janet Lynn Robb

Graduate Research Papers

Sex role stereotyping has been the focus of a number of research projects trying to determine just where stereotyping lies and ways to eliminate it. Although most of the research points toward role modeling as a major cause, little has been done to test that theory.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between teacher sex role models and the career aspirations of students enrolled in high school industrial arts courses throughout the United States. This study was limited to tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students enrolled in industrial arts programs in high schools in the United …
