The Teacher's Approach To The Study Of The Disabled Reader, A Homeopathic Concept, Dorothy J. Mcginnis

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Teachers in the classroom can provide remediation for children having difficulty in making a satisfactory reading adjustment. Students of education, without a background in clinical psychology and without adequate equipment or time for detailed investigation of causal factors, can make use of a homeopathic approach in their attempts to provide treatment for children with reading disabilities. It is the purpose of this paper to show how this goal can be attained.

Thoughts About A General Studies Program, Ollin J. Drennan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

One of the often repeated goals of a program of general or liberal education is that of promoting an awareness of the meaning of being human. The following thoughts were stimulated by the question "What does it mean to be human?" They represent an exploratory, not a definitive, statement. If they excite a response, they will have served the purpose for which they were placed on paper.

Scholarship And Ideology, Bhikhu Parekh

Perspectives (1969-1979)

One of the most distinctive characteristics of the modern university is the tremendous emphasis placed on research, on "expanding the frontiers of knowledge." The faculty has argued, and the university authorities have in many cases accepted, that research is the only worth-while academic activity and that the university largely exists simply to promote it. In its name the faculty has sometimes even ignored, with official connivance, many of its academic obligations. Although, from the standpoint of the university, teaching is more important, research has become a new industry, a new god whose directives, it is believed, only the illiterate could …

Learning To Swim, Richard R. Williams

Perspectives (1969-1979)

For, regardless of the current flurry of excitement concerning new directions in teaching and learning, I feel that we are still adrift and perilously off course when it comes to assessing what is in our best interest. Almost everyone nowadays is talking about educational reforms and there is a good deal of agreement that change must be in the direction of fostering more humanistic, life-enhancing processes. More often than not, however, what we term bold new ventures into self-discovery, enhancement of growth, or whatever phrase suits our taste, are actually old and quite stale wines in new wineskins. An old …

The Effects Of Repetitive Stimulation On The Aggressive Behavior Of The Fighting Cock: A Test For Habituation, Howard E. Farris, Thomas W. Cey

Honors Theses

A fighting cock was repeatedly presented with its own mirror image. The rate of aggressive display and attack behavior elicited by the mirror rapidly decreased to zero. Subsequent exposure of the experimental subject to a live target bird was found to be sufficient to reinstate responding to the mirror. However, upon repeated exposure to the mirror image alone aggressive responding quickly decreased again to zero.

Baseline Response Rate And The Effect Of A Stimulus Which Precedes Response-Independent Reinforcement, William M. Arnold

Masters Theses

The relationship between baseline response rate and the effect of presenting a stimulus followed by response-independent reinforcement on baseline response rate was investigated in this study. Six pigeons were divided into two equal groups, one of which was conditioned to key peck on a VI-DRH schedule of food reinforcement, the other on a VI-DRL schedule of food reinforcement. Once responding had stabilized, a tone was introduced seven times during each session followed by a response-independent food reinforcement. The results indicated no change in the response rate of the VI-DRH group during the tone, and acceleration of responding during the tone …
