Adolescent Identity Formation: Role Of Developmental Group Counseling, Sandra M. Wetzel

Graduate Research Papers

Human development is an on-going, patterned, orderly, and complex process that pertains to all humans, yet remains uniquely individual (Myrick, 1987). Human development involves a lifelong set of physiological, psychological, and social processes that begin at birth and continue until death. The personality is required to unfold, evolve and evolve again. However, it is during the period of adolescence, roughly between ages 12 and 18, that the most rigorous physiological, psychological, and social changes occur (Barrish & Barrish, 1989; Tosi, 1974).

An Argument For Quality Teacher Preparation In Universities That Prioritize The Research Role, David K. Leslie

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

My views regarding the role of research-oriented universities in teacher preparation have been strongly influenced by three different, but related, experiences. First, my undergraduate teacher education preparation was in a five-year program at a California state college evolving from a "normal school" to a "state college." During my master's program, it became a "regional state university." Second, after more than a decade of public school teaching and subsequently completing a doctorate in physical education curriculum, I became chair of the men's professional preparation program at a research-oriented university, The University of Iowa. Third, my department was a pioneer and leader …

Links With The Rural And Small Schools, James D. Jess

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

Two-thirds of Iowa's 425 school districts enroll fewer than 750 students in grades kindergarten through 12. Nearly one-half enroll fewer than 500 students and 49, or 12%, enroll fewer than 250 students. Iowa's statistics on school districts closely mirror those of the United States where we find one-third of our nation's elementary and secondary age school children being educated in two-thirds of our nation's public school systems. The vast majority of these small school systems are located in rural areas that share the common demographics of small size, population sparsity and isolation. School statistics further indicate that small and rural …

A Rationale For Enhancing The Role Of The Non-School Voluntary Sector In Youth Development (Paper In Progress), Karen Pittman, Marlene Wright, Geeta Tate

National Youth Leadership Symposium Monographs

Growing awareness of the seriousness of youth problems in this country (e.g., substance abuse, delinquency, early pregnancy, early school leaving) and of the magnitude of these problems compared to those experienced by youth in other countries has led policymakers, practitioners, and the general public to agree with the above statement. We, as a society, are not offering something to our young people that we should be. The questions that need to be answered are obvious: What are we doing wrong? How did it happen? How do we change the situation? In the spirit of this concern, we explore in this …

An Analysis Of The Exercise Adherence And Attrition Of Participants In A University Wellness Fitness Program, Michelle Lynn Rosel

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this study was to investigate the exercise adherence of participants in a university Wellness program. More specificly, this study will determine reasons why some people adhere to exercise programs and others drop out.

The subjects consisted of university students (n=l43), employees (n=l5), retirees (n=J), and their family members (n=7) who were enrolled in the wellness program fitness classes. The sample of subjects (158 females and 10 males) was limited to persons who were registered to participate in aqua trim, high impact aerobics, low impact aerobics, and step aerobic classes for the Spring 1992 Semester. A researcher generated …

The Distribution Of Amphipods In Southeastern Minnesota And Their Relation To Water Quality And Land Use, James A. Muck, Raymond M. Newman

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The distribution of the amphipods Gammarus pseudolimnaeus and Hyalella azteca was determined from 97 designated trout streams in Minnesota, along with temperature, conductivity, and nitrate levels. Streams were classified into 4 land use/geology groups. G. pseudolimnaeus was found in 11 counties and at 123 of 168 sites in 83 of the 97 streams sampled. Hyalella azteca was found in 7 counties at 26 sites m 21 streams. Spearman rank correlations showed a high degree of correlation between nitrate (range: 0-11 mg N/L), conductivity (range: 325-870 μS/cm), and geology. The relative abundance of G. pseudolimnaeus was negatively correlated with nitrate, geology …

Reflections On Educational Reform, Greg P. Stefanich

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

It appears, particularly in press releases over the past decade, that criticism of American education is worthy of front page news. The press gives one the impression that teachers have failed, causing deteriorating conditions in our schools. Perhaps we need to reflect on some of the misrepresentations perpetrated by biased constituents who may have ulterior motives that are not in the best interest of quality education for our youth.

An Investigation Into The Disposal Of Low Level Radioactive Waste In Outer Space, Michael S. Cook

Graduate Research Papers

This research involved studying the feasibility of removal of low level radioactive waste (LLRW) from earth to outer space as a long term safe alternative to current methods. The primary focus was concerned about LLRW commonly found in landfills.

Geology Of Iowa Fens, C. A. Thompson, E. A. Bettis Iii, R. G. Baker

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Fens are peatlands which are dependent on groundwater discharge to provide nutrient enrichment. Fens are found in a variety of landscape positions and in most Iowa landform regions. This paper presents a classification system for Iowa fens based on landscape position, stratigraphy, and hydrologic factors. Iowa fens can be separated into six categories: 1) fens along valley wall slopes; the groundwater source for these fens is sand and gravel buried between glacial tills (inter-till); 2) fens in hummocky topography on the northwestern margin of the Des Moines Lobe landform region; the water source is sand and gravel buried within glacial …

The University Of Iowa Museum Of Natural History: An Historical Perspective, George D. Shrimper

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

The 132-year record of UIMNH essentially mirrors historical and on-going trends in related institutions. As scholarship grew in the natural sciences during the 19th century, natural history museums became centers for scientific research. A "Golden Age" of museum-based expeditionary work and taxonomic research was marked at UI by the careers of curator/naturalists Calvin, Nutting, Macbride, and Shimek. Systematic biology and paleontology thrived with the accumulation of extensive collections. De-emphasis of "natural history" studies followed after 1920-30 with a concomitant growth in cellular and molecular biology. In seeking new directions and financial support, many museums, including UIMNH, shifted emphasis to public …

An Inexpensive Indicator For Acids And Baths, Susan Christensen, Yvonne Smith

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Is your shampoo acidic, neutral or basic? Put more simply: what is the pH level of your shampoo? Have you ever wished to find the correct answer to that question? If so, you can repeat the experiment that we did to find the pH, not only of your shampoo, but of many other things as well.

This project was completed for GB 303, Field and Lab Biology for Elementary Teachers, at Emporia State University. While looking through a book on teaching science to elementary children (Schmidt and Rockcastle 1982), one of us developed the idea of using red cabbage juice …

Fifty Years Of Fisheries Management M An Obstinate Prairie Lake, Dennis L. Scarnecchia, James R. Wahl

Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science: JIAS

Little Wall Lake, a shallow 104 ha glacial lake in Hamilton County, Iowa, has been manipulated for about 50 years by fishery managers in an attempt to provide a stable sport fishery. Managers have used dredging, water level manipulation, aquatic vegetation control, mechanical fish removal and fish eradication with toxicants, sport fish stocking, introduction of piscivorous fish, artificial habitat structures, and winter aeration. Attempts to stabilize the fishery have been unsuccessful, and because of overpopulation and stunting of panfishes, total fish eradications were conducted in 1977 and 1989. We review the history of management efforts on the lake, and suggest …
