Teaching Reading In The Secondary School: "The Fine Art Of Motivation", Kenneth Vandermeulen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The most significant thing about motivation is that it is an intangible element in education. Its presence may only be sensed by the teacher. It does not come in units like ohms, ergs, decibels, or ounces. We're not even sure that its absence can be detected by objective measuring devices. Teachers, therefore, spend much less time studying and discussing motivation than they do in talking about programs, machines, testing instruments, and evaluation. The term motivation is frequently used by promotional representatives in describing an educational item on the market; the practice is much like the use of the term fidelity …

Using Teacher Observation For Diagnosing Reading Problems, Wilma H. Miller, Ottilie Womack

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

This article discusses the values of using teacher observation as a diagnostic technique and illustrates how a teacher can be more effective in the diagnosis of reading problems. The article discusses using cumulative records and several different types of checklists as useful aids to teacher observation. Some of the checklists discussed are extremely valuable in locating a child's specific reading difficulties, but are not widely known by many elementary teachers.

A List Of Basic Sight Words For Older Disabled Readers, Jerry L. Johns

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The Dolch basic sight vocabulary of 220 words has generally been recognized by reading authorities as a valuable asset to reading instruction. Research by Dolch (1941), Fry (1960), and Zintz (1966) and Johns (in press) has shown that the 220 words comprising the Dolch list represent 50 to 75 per cent of all school reading matter in the elementary grades. According to Dolch, these 220 words are recognized instantly by good second-grade readers and by average third-grade readers.

A Reading Development Course, Angela M. Labmeier, Edward L. Vockell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The effects of speed reading courses have been widely researched (cf. Berger, 1968). Stevens and Orem (1963) have suggested that the superior reader entering such a course with a more rapid reading rate, is an average or above average student, and likes to read. Rauch and Weinstein (1968) and Combs (1966) stress "read, read, read" as the best method for gaining speed. However, the National Association of Secondary School principals (1965) has warned that speed and comprehension do not necessarily go hand-in-hand, a finding which challenged earlier research by O'Brien (1921). A study of Air Force personnel (Brim, 1968) suggests …

An Interdisciplinary Humanities Program As An Approach To Literature, Frederick F. Ritsch

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Let me conclude with a statement from Maxwell Goldberg, the author of Design in Liberal Learning: "Without becoming amorphous or aimless," writes Professor Goldberg, "we are trying to replace the static, mechanical, closed-system, monistic, and self-contained routine thinking of conventional liberal learning with the open-structured, pluralistic, multilinear, multilectic thinking of the new liberal learning." He provides us with an excellent metaphor here: the concept of "freedom flowing into form."* And I might add, in our case we do not seek a "new humanism," but rather seek to revitalize the presentation of that humanism which is an integral part of …

Liberal Arts And Livelihood: A Dual Design For Higher Education, George E. Lamore Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

True, there have been exceptions, and every educator thinks he is one, but generally speaking, the Liberal Arts student or graduate is deeply confused, disappointed and frustrated. He is aware that his college has taught him to think, but not to be a person or to do a job. For education to neglect these dimensions of the heart and hands is to produce something more tragic than the multiple amputee. It is to produce a truncated head, absolved from personhood and detached from practicality.

Reflections On General Education, Ollin J. Drennan

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Life is a series of events into which an individual enters, modifying each event by his memory and his expectations. Each of us finds ourselves involved in all the things that happen to us almost as though we were observers standing aside and watching as well as participating. Through our culture we learn to separate our thinking about our lives from the living of them. Often our living seems to flow inescapably and inevitably along and all we can do is learn to understand the more important parts of it. That we might affect the way that flow of events …

Concurrent Session 2

In terms of the nature of the institution, we're an undergraduate liberal arts college. We offer a pretty full spectrum of concentrations. We're divided organizationally into three operating areas, the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities, and offer some 20 to 25 areas of concentration, pretty much the conventional ones. But we also--and especially in our new program-have many ways in which students …
