The Role Of The School Counselor As Viewed By Parents And Counselor-Educators, Donald Allen Fleming

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Guidance in the public schools of the United States is a fairly recent development. The Vocational Bureau, established by Frank Parsons in 1909, represented one of the first organized efforts to supplement home guidance. Since that time the scope of guidance has expanded from vocational guidance to include educational and socio-personal guidance as well. With the rapid increase in guidance services in schools, research concerning the guidance program has not kept pace. Much of the information and material published is based on an inadequate background of research. Authors have speculated on the values and place of guidance, but have had …

A Study Of The Feasibility Of A Summer Enrichment Program In Science For Gifted Children In Grades Three Through Six Sponsored Jointly By The County Board Of Education And The Schools Of Butler County, Iowa, Edward Gene Jackson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Since the advent of "Sputnik I" in October of 1957 there has been a rapid awakening of the American public to the realization that now, more than at any other time in history, the intellectual resources of the country must be developed to their maximum. The development of these resources is the special responsibility of educators.

The Development Of A Handbook For Use In The Selection Of Materials On Communism For Secondary Social Studies Classes, Richard Raymond Olmsted

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Following World War Two, the United States and the Soviet Union became the chief rivals for world leadership. Because of this, communism replaced fascism as the totalitarian ideology of most concern to Americans. This new situation brought with it a series of problems for the public schools: Should secondary schools teach about communism? How should this topic be approached? What materials should be provided for use by high school students?

For a time, public hysteria prevented the logical resolution of these problems. George B. Bruntz describes this period in the following way:

There was a time when the mere mention …

Error Trends In Paired-Associates Learning After Response Familiarization, Maryhelen Hart, Marlyn E. Marshall

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A study was run to reveal the course of overt errors over paired-associate trials when response learning was eliminated, and to determine a method of satisfying Ss on such a task for use in treating data from a subsequent motor task learned to the same stimuli. Sixty-eight Ss were given thorough response familiarization, followed by 17 anticipation trials of a paired-associate task using verbal responses to non-verbal stimuli. Subsequently they received 30 trials on the Star Discrimeter. Mean % correct responses and errors were plotted across pretraining trials. Ss were divided into two strata on the basis of pretraining scores …

Motor Performance After Four Kinds Of Verbal Pretraining, Marilyn E. Marshall, Don Lewis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Four groups of 20 Ss each were given 36 paired-associates trials on each of six random shapes. The four groups learned verbal responses which were, respectively, high in association value and formally distinct (HD), high in association value and formally similar (HS), low in association value and formally distinct (LD), and low in association value and formally similar (LS). An additional group (A) attended to motor task stimuli during 216 nonverbal pretraining trials, while a control group (I) learned medium association value distinct syllables to stimuli different from those which subsequently appeared in the motor task. Errors and correct responses …

Dial Legibility As A Function Of Scale Graduation And Dial Shape, Bruce B. Black, Dorothy Fluger, George G. Karas

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The study of dial legibility in terms of accuracy of reading has been carried on from two approaches. In one of these the dial shape is varied, while the graduations are held constant. The other approach is to hold shape constant and to vary the number of graduations. The present study presents a combination of the two earlier approaches, with shapes and graduations both being varied. Sixty dials were presented in booklets to forty Ss, who read them to the nearest 0.1 cm. while being timed. The results indicate that in dial reading situations where exposure time is not limited …

The Beck Word-Color Association Test As A Predictor Of Juvenile Delinquency, Janet Ellyn Berger

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Juvenile delinquency is an old problem, a problem that has been intensified and given new emphasis during recent years. This problem has received nation-wide attention and publicity. Since juvenile delinquency is such an old problem, its history, too, dates back many years. Among the early attempts to differentiate the treatment of youthful offenders were the efforts of the tenth century monarch, King Athelston of England He enacted a law which stated that "man shall not slay none younger than a fifteen winters' man. " l Generally, however, any juvenile who has committed an offense was considered to be an ordinary …

General Semantics At Work: A Handbook For High School Teachers Of English, Georgia Burge

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this handbook, General Semantics at Work, is fourfold: (1) to encourage the teacher of high school English to place as much emphasis upon improving the language attitudes of his students as upon improving their language skills, on the theory that the attitudes will determine the ultimate quality of the skills; (2) to summarize the system of general semantics, which its originator, Alfred Korzybski, chooses to call "a discipline," because it not only explains but trains; (3) to discuss the nature of the three components of language attitudes; namely, (a) the language itself, the tool of the communication …

A Study Of Special Admissions Of High School Graduates For The Years 1959, 1960, And 1961 At The State College Of Iowa, James Gregg Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

During recent months much attention has been focused on the crowded conditions of the colleges and universities in Iowa. At the same time, a topic of a more controversial nature has been that of entrance requirements and minimum academic standards. Much of this discussion has been provoked through the denial of admittance to college of those of low academic achievement in high school, and the appearance. of articles and editorials protesting this practice in magazines and newspapers. Inasmuch as the State College of Iowa has had a program of Special Admissions in operation, this writer was led to investigate the …

A Source Of Information About Air And Airplanes For Students With Limited Reading Ability In The Upper Elementary Grades, Bruce Q. Buerkens

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

None of the types of transportation conceived by man through the ages has produced greater change to his world than air transportation. The airmail letter is a common sight. Fruits and flowers are flown from semi-tropical climes as the recipients sleep in the Temperate Zone. News of air accidents is frequent. Most of the taxpayer's dollar is for defense, a lion's share of which is for air power. World leaders skip across the globe for discussions with others. Man made satellites circle the earth in less time than a commuter may spend getting to work. Yet our world stands at …

The Value Of Demonstration In Human Maze Learning, Richard A. Panman, Sidney J. Arenson, Milton E. Rosenbaum

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In a first experiment, forty subjects were assigned to one of four groups. Each of these groups received one, two or three demonstrations, or no demonstration at all of a task on a bolt-head maze. It was found that number of demonstrations and reduction of errors per trial were positively related up to two demonstrations but no additional increment in performance appeared for three demonstrations. In a second experiment, error making by a demonstrator was contrasted with skilled demonstration. Three demonstrations with errors resulted in significantly fewer errors per trial than two demonstrations with errors. Three skilled errorless demonstration was …
