A Study Of The Effects Of The 1958 Junior High School Seminar In Science And Mathematics, Iowa State Teachers College, Upon The Pupils’ Attitudes Toward And Interest In Science And Mathematics, William Richards Babcock

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The current emphasis which the "atomic age" has placed upon the education of "gifted" or "talented" pupils in science and mathematics has provided educators with an opportunity to devise and implement new and unique programs in the elementary and secondary schools. Educators have utilized two approaches in meeting the challenge--acceleration and enrichment. Many secondary schools in all parts of the United States are offering pupils opportunity to take more advanced course work than the traditional curriculum had allowed. College courses, as well as high school subjects, are being offered at the high school level both during the regular academic year …

Empathic Ability Compared As To Environmental Setting And Concept Of Measurement, Alice Jane Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Since the turn of the century there has been a growing controversy as to the definition and significance of the term "empathy" in the separate fields of esthetics and psychology. People concerned with both areas use a similar basic definition - the ability to "feel into" an object or another person. It is in the attainment of this ability and the ways in which we can use it that the definitions vary. In the esthetic sense, empathy is thought of as a process of identification and projection. A person watching a play, for instance, projects himself into the actions and …

An Evaluation Of The Activity And Group Guidance Program In Roosevelt Junior High School In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Germaine Hausladen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of the new paths being tried by the Cedar Rapids schools is the home room guidance and activity program. The plan was the result of a two year study of a committee of teachers working under the supervision of the Director of Secondary Education. Considering the time and effort spent on the project, it is only reasonable to assume that there should be some measure of evaluation to see how the objectives are being met. That evaluation is the purpose of this research.

Comparison Of The Performances Of Analyzers And Non-Analyzers During Alternation Practice On A Perceptual-Motor Task, Richard W. Sheldon

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

A total of 15 analyzers and 15 non-analyzers were given an initial five standard trials and then 58 units of alternation practice on the Iowa Pursuitmeter. Each unit of alternation practice consisted of three reversed trials followed by one standard trial. The specific purpose of the study was to determine whether or not individual differences in the amount of interference displayed during alternation practice can be attributed, at least in part, to a tendency to analyze. The results lend some support for the view that the analyzers were less susceptible to interference than the non-analyzers.

The Effects On The Quality And Rate Of Cursive Writing Of A Seven Months Delay In Its Introduction In The Waterloo Schools, Mary Elizabeth Fredrikson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It has been the policy in the Waterloo school system for the past sixteen years to make the transition from manuscript to cursive handwriting during the last six to eight weeks in second grade. The first part of third grade is spent in a review of the formation of the small and capital cursive letters. Cursive writing is taught throughout the remainder of third grade and used as the primary writing tool throughout the grades. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the quality and rate of cursive writing were affected by delaying the starting of instruction in …

A Study Of Emotion In Selected Plays Of George Bernard Shaw, Winifred Hager Holkeboer

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of an infinite number of descriptions of George Bernard Shaw portrays him as a young Irishman who descended upon England with broom in hand, and, finding it full of philistine abominations, proceeded to make things lively for his self-satisfied host by sweeping the stables clean. Any sensible estimate of this remarkable man must at least admit to his having left England a different place than it· was when he found it. Indeed, his influence has extended beyond the bounds of his time and place; he stood like· a great cosmic giant astride the span of a near-century-one foot planted …

Analytic Tendency As A Factor In The Performance Of Women On The Iowa Pursuitmeter, David A. Hills

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Women subjects were dichotomized into analyzers and non-analyzers on the basis of their verbal statements regarding their approach in solving Kohs-type block design problems. Groups of analyzers and non-analyzers then learned to perform the standard task on the Iowa Pursuitmeter, and were found to differ only slightly in the amount of skill acquired over 24 trials. These results are in contrast to those of Miles for male analyzers who were found to perform at significantly higher levels of proficiency than non-analyzers. A sex difference apparently attributable to the extreme difficulty of the task for women is discussed.

Relation Of Grade-Point Averages And Placement Test Scores To Analytic Tendency And To Performance On The Iowa Pursuitmeter, Guy H. Miles, Don Lewis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Miles, in two closely related investigations (5, 6), dichotomized male subjects on the basis of their statements as to how they had gone about solving several block design problems of the Kohs type. The two categories were analyzers and non-analyzers. Subjects were classified as analyzers if their a posteriori verbalizations indicated a tendency, at the conceptual level, to break each design down into parts before any blocks were actually moved. They were classified as non-analyzers if their statements failed to suggest that a breaking-into-parts approach had been employed. In the common run of male undergraduate students at the State University, …
