A Follow-Up Study Of Ellsworth Junior College Graduates And Students Who Transferred To Baccalaureate Colleges Or Semi-Professional Schools, Eleanor J. Andershok

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The junior college is uniquely American and a part of our total educational pattern as evidenced by its growth and progress in the last fifty years. The need to progress and improve is felt by all institutions of education. National educational surveys are made, but they do not reflect the heart of the individual school; they do not point out its individual strengths and weaknesses; they do not indicate the achievement of unique objectives and goals. If the junior college is to improve its educational effectiveness, it can only be done through introspection and self-study.

An Analysis Of The Moral Attitudes Of High School Sophomores And Seniors In The Public Schools Of Cedar Falls, Iowa, Beaumont Roger Hagebak

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It has been more than twenty years since G. W. Allport said, "The concept of attitude is possibly the most distinctive and indispensable concept in contemporary American l social psychology." Yet even though two decades have passed his words are still as vital and meaningful as when they were first uttered. The importance of attitudes, of value systems, needs no documentation or proof. We all teel the effects of the attitudes of others, we all affect others by our attitudes, every day of our lives.

The Records Of Selected Grundy Center, Iowa, High School Graduates Who Completed College And Comparable Graduates Who Did Not, Francis Fuhs

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

If our country is to maintain the position of a world power, it is important that each of its citizens receives an education in proportion to his potential. As Ginzberg states in his book, Human Resources: The Wealth of a Nation, "While every society must get along with such talent as it has, its accomplishments and even its survival will depend on its developing the maximum number of people with high potential. A counselor in the educational system might think in terms of this ideal of maximum development when visualizing an educational goal for his high school group. But ours …

A Drop-Out Study Of The Cedar Falls Community Schools, Bruce Roy Amble

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Every decade of this century has evidenced an increase in the amount of public education being received by American youth. Even so, the magnitude of concern over the number of students dropping out of school has not diminished. In 1900 the rate of students to continue in school until graduation was 6.4 to every 100 seventeen-year-olds in the population; more recently the ratio was 60.0 to every 100.

Evidences Of Positive And Negative Transfer Effects Between Highly Similar Perceptual-Motor Tasks, Ronald H. Peters, John R. Reil, David Leonard

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One hundred twenty male undergraduates, each assigned to one of two groups, performed highly similar perceptual-motor tasks varying in difficulty. The tasks were provided by the Multipoint Two-Hand Coordinator. On Day 2, one-half of the Ss in each group changed tasks while one-half continued on the same task. Evidences of positive and negative transfer effects were found with greater positive transfer from the easier to the more difficult task than in the reverse direction. A striking feature of the study was the persistence of negative transfer effects.

High School Science Achievement As Related To Interest And I.Q. Among Graduates Of Thibodaux High School, Thibodaux, Louisiana, And Malcolm Price Laboratory School, Cedar Falls, Iowa, Louis E. Barrilleaux

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Numerous articles on the possible causes of an increasing shortage of scientific manpower have been published. Many of these articles have stressed the lack of sufficient guidance in directing capable students in high school toward an emphasis in science. It is pointed out that insufficient guidance alone, among high school students, is a major factor in the increasing shortage of scientific personnel. As a result, the schools have been under criticism.

A Program Of Correlation For The Sixth Grade Teachers Of India, Jagdish C. Goyal

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The people of India had long been dissatisfied with the educational program which existed prior to the Basic system of education. The traditional system which preceded Basic education originated with the Charter Act of 1813 of the East India Company of Britain. Only a relatively few persons benefited directly from this system; it never reached the masses. This policy of "downward infiltration" created some complex and unfavorable results. It is important to note in this connection a statement from the 1958 UNESCO world Survey of Education that "owing to defects in the official policies, the position of mass education in …

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The goal of education today is to provide an opportunity for each student to develop to the optimum.

This study attempted to investigate guidance programs as they existed during the 1959-60 school year in Iowa high schools as …
