Olavus Petri's Polemic Against Monasticism: A Translation With Critical Notes, Margaret Mary King

Masters Theses

Olavus Petri (1493-1522) is considered one of the primary figures of the Swedish Reformation during the reign of King Gustav Vasa (1523- 1560). Olavus Petri's polemical writings, dating from 1527 through 1528, are particularly significant in relation to the 1527 Recess and Ordinance of Vasteras which deprived the church of its substantial political and economic powers and privileges. The importance which the King and reformers attributed to control over and termination of the monastic and mendicant orders in Sweden is evidenced by Olavus Petri's treatise, En liten bok i vilken klosterleverne forklarat varder, printed November 13, 1528. This document, which …

Operant Control Of Pathological Tongue Thrust, George A. Thompson

Masters Theses

Pathological tongue thrust (reverse swallowing) has been linked to malocclusion, articulation problems, difficulty in eating, and excessive drooling. Observable tongue thrust in a 10-year-old severely retarded male was modified during lunch using a contingent pushback procedure. Comparison of baseline and treatment data collected by the partial interval method showed a significant reduction in tongue thrust and food fallout and a substantial increase in observed chewing. Results indicated the possibility that an operant approach to treatment can be effective in the modification of this physiological response.

Elementary Students' Definitions Of Reading, Kathleen M. Ngandu

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Many reading education authorities (i.e. Smith 1978; Stauffer 197b; Thorndike 1973) discuss reading as a meaning identification process in which the reader actively thinks about what s/he reads. Similarly, most classroom teachers include this relationship between reading and meaning in their definitions of reading (Green, Macaui, & Wood 1978).

Little research. however, has been done on children's perceptions of reading (Tovey 1976). How do children view reading? Do they also view reading as a process emphasizing meaning. or do they view reading as something else? The purpose of this study was to investigate children's definitions of reading. with a special …

The Gifted Student In The Intermediate Grades: Developing Creativity Through Reading, Sharon Dunn

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

There is no consensus on what makes a child gifted. Certainly it is a combination of a multitude of factors: The child's natural heredity sets an upper limit to his possibilities, but giftedness is not a package given at birth with no hopes of change. It is a growing, becoming process that constantly creates, elaborates and refines itself by selecting, comparing, and organizing life experiences (Strang, 1960).

Diagnosis--A Part Of Content Area Reading, Martha C. Cheek, Earl H. Cheek

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the major trends in education is that of relating reading instruction to the content areas. Middle and secondary school content specialists have been asked to incorporate appropriate reading or learning skills into their content teaching. Many content specialists have recognized this need and are attempting to meet the challenge. Much in-service education is being provided to assist these teachers. Additionally, many state certification standards are requiring that pre-service programs provide new content specialists with necessary instruction in teaching reading in their content areas.

Inferential Aspects Of The Cloze Task, Michael C. Mckenna

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The central assumption underlying the cloze procedure is that context can be used inferentially to predict deleted words (or other graphic units). The importance of this assumption suggests that an adequate understanding of the cloze task is impossible without an analytical knowledge of the role inference must play. The present discussion embodies a stepwise analysis of this role, from the point at which the context is read to the point at which the reader is able to distinguish acceptable responses.
