Some Implications For Learning Centers, Mark E. Thompson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

It should be quite clear from the research evidence that successful students tend to plan their work carefully, think ahead, are conscientious, independent, self-confident and recognize the importance of finding suitable conditions for effective study (Entwistle and Entwistle, 1970). Being able to organize, having a good self-image and being flexible are most important traits for students to have. For students that are handicapped in various ways, there is hope. Students can learn academic skills, if they have a good teacher and work to help themselves.

How Disabled Readers Try To Remember Words, Catherine Morsink, Donald P. Cross, Jane Strickler

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Studies of memory tasks with normal learners, involving letters and word-like patterns, indicate that recall is easier when stimuli present familiar patterns, either as pronounceable syllables (Gibson, 1965) or as contextual dependencies (Miller & Selfridge, 1950). Blumberg (1968), studying associative learning tasks, found brain injured children to have the least difficulty in making associations between visual non-word like stimuli and spoken words, while having greatest difficulty with visual word-like associations. Bakker (1967) reports that severely disabled readers were significantly poorer than better readers in the recall of meaningful, but not meaningless, sequences.

Bibliography: Solving Problems Through Reading, Willian S. O'Bruba

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Although bibliotherapy has been known and practiced since ancient times, the term itself is of more recent origin. It is generally credited to Samuel McChord Crothers in an article in Atlantic Monthly in 1916. Shrodes (1955) has defined bibliotherapy as "a process of dynamic interaction between the personality of the reader and imaginative literature which may engage his emotions and free them for conscious and productive use." The Association of Hospital and Institution Libraries has adopted as official the dictionary definition which reads . . . "guidance in the solution of personal problems through directed reading." Simply stated bibliotherapy is …

The Role Of Cultural Anthropology In The Education Of Social Service Personnel, James W. Green

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Anthropology contributes to the education of social work students through its emphasis on the role of culture and of social context in the delivery of social services. Examples are provided with special emphasis on child abuse and protective services. While anthropology has traditionally been associated with the study of minorities, its role in the critique of other social work concerns is suggested.

Statewide Academic Planning For Social Work Education: A Case Study, Michael J. Austin

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Statewide and regional educational planning has become a necessity in the light of budget cutbacks, mal-distribution of manpower and pressures for accountability. This case study describes one statewide planning experience and identifies implications for academic outreach, faculty organizing, faculty leadership development, educational planning, developing common language between academic and human service agencies, and projecting manpower needs.

The Operation Of Professional Journals In Social Work, Duncan Lindsey

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The concern of this paper is a systematic examination of one of the major social structures developed to foster the growth and regulation of the knowledge construction enterprise in social work-the professional journal. The foci of the analyses are: 1) the normative criteria of editorial board members, 2) the characteristics of the editorial judges, and 3) the factors which influence editorial decision making.

Destined To Die, Carol O'Connell

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

It is my belief that if society were better able to cope with death, then perhaps the individual would be better prepared for his own death. Death has always been distasteful to people because it is such a frightening happening. It is such an unpleasant and painful topic that no one wants to talk about it and discussions do not easily surface. How are we ever to understand it if it is never discussed? Perhaps we will never understand it fully, but we can at least try to prepare ourselves and others.

Professionalism And Social Work Education: Substance And Structure, Leslie Leighninger

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This paper looks at effects of the quest for "professional identity" upon social work education and practice. Professionalization in social work is seen as consisting of two major components: concern with producing effective service for clients and concern with gaining autonomy. The impact of these two goals, and the tension between them, is discussed in relation to social work knowledge-base expansion in the 1950's, and developments in the history of undergraduate social work education.

This paper is restricted to a discussion of one visual cueing technique underlining and some implications arising from underlining research.

Zeta Potential And Its Affects On The Washing Stages Of Newsprint Deinking, Stephen J. Shelton

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The use of zeta potential as a parameter in the washing stages of newsprint deinking is discussed. Previous research provided the temperature, time, and consistencies used in the hydropulper and washing stages. The research carried out tried to determine whether or not zeta potential can be used as a way of increasing the effectiveness of the washing stages. The research carried out tried to determine whether or not zeta potential can be used as a way of increasing the effectiveness of the washing stages.

Measurement Of Teacher Knowledge Of Reading, H.L. Narang

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The latest trend in teacher education is towards competency- based programs which focus on the specific knowledge, skills, and attitudes that teachers ought to develop in order to perform well on the job. One area of teacher competencies is knowledge of the subject-matter. Cooper (1973) calls this knowledge competency. Several writers have emphasized the mastery of subject-matter as an important component in teacher preparation. Bush (1954) says that students like teachers whom they regard as high in knowledge of subject; and pupil liking of teachers is related to pupil liking for the subject. Miller and Miller (1971) asked school adminstrators …

Professional Concerns, R. Baird Shuman, Billie Jo Rieck

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Because most states now require that all prospective teachers must have formal instruction in the teaching of reading in order to qualify for certification, the reading teacher must be prepared (1) to justify the requirement and (2) to teach the sort of course which will be valuable to students in a broad diversity of subject areas. In the article which follows. Professor Billie Jo Rieck of West Liberty State College in West Liberty, West Virginia offers a workable method for presenting the required course in the teaching of reading to the broad variety of students who pass through it.
