The Teaching Of Reading In The United States, Blanche O. Bush

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The history of the teaching of reading in the United States is directly related to the background influences of the period. The changing institutions, religious, political and economic, are reflected in the aims, materials and procedures of reading in each era. In this paper the history of the teaching of reading has been traced from the early colonial period to the present time.

Toward Horizons Of Reading In The Aerospace Age, Barbara F. Edwards

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Milieu. We live in an age when reading is a subject of concern to the man on the street as well as to the scholar. The "This Week" section of recent Sunday newspapers serves as only one indication of the public interest in our subject. We live also in a time when scientific reasoning by a staff or team of administrators, teachers, and researchers is not only possible, but encouraged. We live at a time when the factors of group dynamics and individual counseling (6) are being considered as important elements in learning processes. In these things, all of us …

An Investigation Of The Genetic Basis Of Alcoholism, Daniel F. Malamud

Masters Theses

Introduction

Alcoholism: The Disease

"Alcoholism is a chronic disease manifested by repeated implicative drinking so as to cause injury to the drinker's health or to his social or economic functioning" (53). Such a definition of alcoholism points to the disease concept which went unrecognized until recent years. In addition to its medical implications, alcoholism has been the subject of considerable writing and research by academicians in such diverse fields as sociology, psychology, physiology, psychiatry, theology, and law.

At the outset it should be noted that the writer is aware of the arguments and opinions expressed by the advocates of the …

Comparison Of Alcohol Offenses Of College Students With Those Of Persons In A Similar Age Group Who Have Not Had College Experience, Cornelis Laban

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of the study was to·make· a comparison of the drunk driving behavior of college students with that· of those persons in a similar age group who have not had college experience. There is very little published information about the statutes governing "driving under the influence of liquor" (D.U.I.L.). The educable nature of persons involved in such offenses 8 and the probable anti-social and sociopathic behavior in individuals leading up to the offenses, also need thorough investigation. Very pertinent also is the question whether or not there is a biological basis for this particular behavior; an understanding of …

Developing Mental Content Through Creative Activities, Martha Barrett Newell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Each of us seeks the approval of our peers, and this is a natural desire of children, too. But, as adults we seem to have forgotten the warmth of response to the fact that "I made it myself." There is magic in creation, and a very special kind of magic to the child who senses that he is indeed part of what he produces. Everything, from the molded handprint of the earnest kindergartener (Do you not still have one of these pieces of loveliness . . .?) to the finished mural of the high school student, has in it a …

A Method Of Evaluating First Line Supervisory Training, Benjamin I. Killian

Masters Theses

Preface

This study is prepared to establish a method of evaluating supervisory training. An attempt to evaluate the following hypotheses will be considered: (1) There is a method of selecting the basic performance areas of a first line supervisor. (2) There are acceptable standards of performance in the basic area. (3) Performance appraisals prior to the introduction of training will determine sub-standard performance in the selected areas. (4) Follow-up performance appraisals will indicate the effectiveness of training in improving performance without undue contamination of the criteria by other influences.

During the study other areas of investigation to be examined are: …

Faculty Publications 1957-61, Western Michigan University

Faculty Contributions (1950-1981)

Faculty Publications 1957-61 is the first major compilation of the publications of the faculty of Western Michigan University. Compilations like this one are not unique. Nearly all the major universities, as well as many of the smaller institutions of higher education, have prepared them for a number of years. It seemed reasonable, when the enterprise was first planned, for Western Michigan University to publish the compilation as one of the Faculty Contributions of the School of Graduate Studies.

Mental Content And Its Relationship To Flexibility Of Reading, Homer L.J. Carter, Dorothy J. Mcginnis

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

If reading performance is to vary as to kind and degree and especially if rate of reading and the newer media of instruction are to be stressed, a greater emphasis must be placed upon mental content and its relationship to the reading process. For example, in the sentence "The whipple-tree and traces were seriously damaged," little meaning can be secured without adequate mental content. An increased span of perception provides limited help. Contextual clues are of little value. Structural analysis furnishes little aid, and a rapid rate of reading complicates the whole attempt to secure understanding. There must be mental …

Provocative Reading Experiences, Emeline J. Mccowen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

We are well aware of the complexities we face today in teaching our children to be able readers. It is a much bigger problem than to be able to verbalize words phonetically. Experts in the field of research in psychology, child development, and reading have contributed a great deal of valuable knowledge to aid teachers in the skill of teaching children to read. These ideas are being successfully practiced and we are producing capable readers. However, there is one phase of reading that needs greater stress. To derive the greatest benefit from living in our democracy and to cope with …
