The Effect Of Alternate Schooling On The Self-Concept, James R. Stuart

Graduate Research Papers

In teaching, traditionally the nature of the learner has had little to do wi th what we decided to teach him (Weinstein, 1974). Existential psychology has taken a more individual view of behavior. the existential researcher cannot see the person from outside that person's world. He makes an effort to see the person's world as that person sees it. Existential psychology has attacked the idea of interpreting individual behavior in terms of abstract general laws Each person is dealt with as a unique person. (May,, 1958)

Paperback Books In America, Molly S. Britton

Graduate Research Papers

One of the facts of life for a librarian today is the paperback book. As Walter H. Kaiser stated: . . . Paperback books are rapidly assuming a greater importance in public, school and academic libraries because of their uniqueness, quality and low cost. These inherent qualities are finally creating irresistable pressures on librarians to come to terms with this revolution in publishing •••• 1 He also discusses the "need for libraries to be in tune with new trends in publishing and to respond appropriately to the exciting 2 challenge which paperbacks have presented to the profession." So it seems …

The Quality Of Life In A Midwestern Rural Community, James E. Bodensteiner

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This thesis is based on the following assumptions: (a) that the kind of community in which people live affects their sense of well-being, (b) that a community should provide certain qualities for its residents in order that they may enjoy an optimum quality of life, (c) that many large urban population centers are failing to provide the environment for this desired quality of life, and (d) that rural communities are and have been on the decline as population and business centers in the United States. In view of these assumptions this study attempted to discover whether the small rural community …

Given a list of sex topics and a second list of possible sources of information, what "first" sources of sex information will most frequently be identified by senior high school students? 3. To …

Jerzy Kosinski’S The Devil Tree: A Work Of Art?, Tom G. Colonnese

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Jerzy Kosinski Is fourth novel, The Devil Tree, is widely regarded as both a technical and imaginative failure. Rather than being an artistic failure, The Devil Tree is in fact a fully mature and variant expression of Kosinski's art. Some of Kosinski's earlier fame was due to a humanistic misreading of his work. But The Devil Tree made it painfully clear that Kosinski 's own ethic-- particularly when concerned with self-realization - was of another order. Interpreted in the full light of his career it can be seen that Kosinski 's The Devil Tree is the logical outcome of both …

Profile: Dave Kanellis, Charles Frederick

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Dave Kanellis, a teacher of social studies and environmental studies at West High School in Iowa City, is what one might consider a teacher's teacher. Although Dave was born in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, he has acquired many of the characteristics of a midwesterner, one of which is a down-to-earth approach with people. This characteristic is displayed in many ways in the classroom as well.

The information gathered and the results obtained are for this end, also. The four causality theories of child abuse were postulated for explanatory purposes. The causality theory that emphasizes psychological dysfunctioning runs a continuum from …
