Mission Neighborhood Health Center: A Case Study Of The Department Of Health Education And Welfare As A Counterinsurgency Agency, Thomas S. Bodenheimer

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

In the 1960's, working class communities all over the country, particularly minority inner city neighborhoods, exploded in violent anger. The federal government responded with a pacification or cooling-out program: the War on Poverty. The War on Poverty provided federal funds to bring a few programs into the community, to create a few jobs, and to buy off working class leaders who were a threat to those in power. In the course of this program of counterinsurgency, the War on Poverty took over a slogan of the 1960's, "community control," and turned it into its opposite; rather than control by the …

Veterans' Medical Care: The Politics Of An American Government Health Service, Judith Lasker

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

The history of veterans' benefits and services in the United States is reviewed; it demonstrates their responsiveness to dominant political, economic, military and medical interests. The ideological position that social services must be "deserved" is also seen to be an important influence on the V.A. system. The consequent inaccessibility of V.A. medical care to most veterans and almost all non-veterans raises questions about the appropriateness of the V.A. system as a model for national health care.

Reading Research And Classroom Practices, Nicholas P. Criscuolo

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Research in reading has been voluminous over the years. Whether research has been conducted to satisfy one's doctoral requirements or whether it has been done by university or school personnel to prove or disprove an educational theory, a portion of the research studies done can be disclaimed for three simple reasons: (l) the hypothesis or premise under which the study was launched has been shabbily conceived, (2) the problem was not clearly defined, and (3) research results cannot be replicated or stand up against rigorous examination because of faulty research design.

Reading Comprehension Is Crucial But Not Critical, James W. Cunningham

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Reading and English teachers are often aware that many adults who dislike reading in general and literature in specific learned their dislike through being required to memorize and parrot the teacher's interpretation and evaluation of pieces of writing. Countless articles and books have reported this phenomenon and called on teachers to foster democratic principles by encouraging individual responses and divergent thinking in their classes. These same teachers, however, see many of their students unwilling or unable to offer any response to what they have read. The resulting dilemma requires that teachers either make negative value judgments about the thinking of …

Nurturing Intelligence In The Classroom, Eleanor Buelke

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

There is a fine balance, a significant subtlety, for a teacher to sustain in order to be a functional force in the classroom nurture of intelligence. Keenly sensitive perceptions are required if teachers are to Follow along, so to speak, ahead of the children, helping them to clarify, organize, and extend meanings as they reach out for understanding. "I Teachers' roles in this process demand a high degree of knowledge about our language and an active, creative part in its use. Pervasive habits of observing and listening should be enmeshed in the whole approach to teaching. More than that; as …

Can We Update Experienced Teachers' Beliefs And Practices In Reading?, Thomas W. Bean

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

A recent review charting the impact of educational research on classroom teaching found that teaching practices, particularly in reading, were rarely modified to reflect current research findings (Clifford, 1973). Clifford chronicled the fragmentary, "one short" nature of much of the educational research produced and reported over the last fifty years. He suggested that a more unified body of cumulative research findings in a cohesive area of investigation might stand a better chance of influencing change in the classroom.

Teaching Methods Utilizing A Field Theory Viewpoint In The Elementary Reading Program, Shirley Lechuga, Heath Lowry

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The trend in reading instruction during the past few years, has strongly focused on the whole child, his individuality, his feelings, beliefs, and goals as well as his cognitive abilities. All of these constitute the child's life space and are the "parts of the whole" that teachers must deal with. Consistent with this learning theory, the teacher's role has changed. Teaching now consists of the promotion and enrichment of the interactive learning process between the child and his environment. The teaching environment of the reading program is most important to the young reader's success. The acceleration of the reading process …

Appreciation Of Reading Through The Five Senses, Mary Jane Gray

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

While the definition of reading remains an elusive one for reasons pointed out by Edmund Huey (1908) more than seventy years ago, there is one component of the reading process which surely deserves attention. That component is the appreciation gained in reading through the five senses. How is this accomplished? An examination of reading and its relation to the five senses should help to make this clear.

Honors Theses

Work Ethic And Work Incentives: Values And Income Maintenance Reform, Beverly G. Toomey

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Although the American belief system surrounding the concept of work has been analyzed and challenged by social scientists seeking solutions to the problem of poverty, the strength of the work ethic philosophy is still evident in public resistance to welfare reform which would support adequate income maintenance and government efforts at job creation. This paper discusses the relationship between the work ethic philosophy, job creation programming and welfare reform. It reviews relevant theoretical and empirical literature and identifies some misconceptions which continue to hamper policy formulation and program development in welfare reform.
