A Comparison Of Results Of Two Methods Of Teaching Reading In The First Grade, Melvin Wayne Thurston

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

An examination of the grade-equivalent scores attained in vocabulary and reading comprehension by third-grade pupils at Hudson Community School on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills over the preceding four-year period revealed that many of the pupils were seriously retarded in reading. During this period a total of 210 third-grade pupils were tested. Thirty-one per cent of these pupils scored one or more years below the norm for Iowa third-grade pupils in vocabulary, and the same level of retardation was true in reading comprehension for twenty-seven per cent of these pupils.

Most of these pupils had been taught beginning reading …

A Comparative Study Of Three Different Approaches To Beginning Reading Comprehension: Ita, Programmed Reader, And Basal Reader, Helen Ferrier Ristau

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purposes of this study were to compare the effectiveness of three specific approaches to beginning reading for teaching reading comprehension in the schools of a midwestern community: ITA, Programmed Reader, and Basal Reader. The Reading: Stories or reading comprehension scores on the Metropolitan Achievement Tests were used to compare: (1) the overall effectiveness of teaching reading comprehension under the three approaches, and (2) the effectiveness of the three approaches for particular types of learners. The data was analyzed according to the following factors: sex, M.A., socioeconomic status, and maturity level to determine which approach is best for any of …

A Naturalist At Large: Skin-In, Skin-Out, Marston Bates

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Each semester I arrange a seminar of a dozen or so students who meet one evening a week in the living room of the house. I try to select students with different interests, from different departments of the university, with the idea of getting to know a small but varied sample of the student body. We decide on some topic for discussion during the semester, but whatever the official topic, two subjects - education and sex - always come up, and always generate heated arguments.

An Analysis Of The Attitudes Of College Students Concerning The War In Vietnam, Lyle K. Henry, Charles Moore, Nancy Moore, Sheryl Kessler, Mildred Stone

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Attitudes of a sampling of students at Morningside College was compared with results from a poll conducted by church magazines. A locally developed Hawk-Dove scale was designed and administered to the college sample and the results compared with certain personal and personality attributes. It was found that college seniors were much more critical of the war than college freshmen. The former were similar to attitudes of clergy while the latter were more similar to the attitudes of laymen. However, aggression scores on the Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) were almost identical for freshmen and seniors. For dominance on the EPPS, …

Discrimination Weighting On A Multiple Choice Exam, Timothy J. Gannon, Thomas Sannito

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A multiple choice test (59 items) was given to 141 sophomore males as a final examination in General Psychology. The students were required to indicate their degree of confidence on each item by writing to the left of their answer a 1 (pure guess), a 2 (some guessing-some certainty), or a 3 (complete certainty). The scoring involved making the confidence values positive or negative according to whether the selected answers were correct or incorrect. Three scoring procedures were then compared by correlation techniques to determine if there were any major shifts in student ranking. It was found that by scoring …

Teaching Beginning Concepts In Mathematics, Mildred Dick Pierce

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to investigate concept development as it relates to the teaching of mathematics in the kindergarten, and to propose a program of activities to be used in developing mathematical concepts with kindergarten children. Basic to determining the strategy to be used in teaching children is a consideration of the background of information the children possess when the teaching begins, and the background of information and the attitudes of the teachers who teach. Since any program which proposes that a different type of learning experience be used implies criticism of the methods now in use, it …

Interaction In Reading Groups: A Possible Cause Of Reading Disability, George H. Hadley

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the method of seating children for a directed reading lesson and the acquisition of a concept taught during that lesson. It was felt that children seated closely together for group instruction distracted one another. This negative interaction in the group caused loss of attention and hindered learning. Subjects were matched groups of girls and matched groups of boys from the two third grades at Malcolm Price Laboratory School in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The control groups were taught a reading lesson while seated with the teacher in a reading circle. …

An Apology For The Petrine Doctrine, Arthur Frederick Ide

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Roman Catholic Christianity confesses the belief that man is "like the angels--slightly less than God," when he realizes and fulfills his supernatural vocation through the process of intellectual contemplation, guided by theological thought which is guarded and revealed by the Pope who speaks as and for Christ, having been granted this power by Christ. There are some who cannot accept this view, especially if it incorporates papal infallibility, which they see as a fable, built upon the testimony of Papias of Hierapolis which was elaborated upon by Clement of Alexandria . The office of the papacy is looked upon as …
