Psycho-Social Factors Influencing The Learning Of A Second Or A Foreign Language, Dora Mae Rodgers Jan 1978

Psycho-Social Factors Influencing The Learning Of A Second Or A Foreign Language, Dora Mae Rodgers

Dissertations

Problem. With bilingualism now a world-wide phenomenon, language has become a powerful force for unity both at home and abroad. This, along with increased immigration, has emphasized the need for the study of second or foreign languages. In the United States, bilingualism and the learning of English as a second language are outstanding educational problems.

Competitiveness, Cooperativeness, And Assigning Grades In The High School Classroom, Nelson Edward Evans

Dissertations

Problem. Currently, educators and psychologists have been rejecting the generally favorable position competition has held as a motivator and value within education. This study focused on teacher and student orientations varying as cooperative or competitive and the effect that they can have on student grades. That the interaction among students and teachers varying by orientation may prove counter-productive in the classroom is a crucial concern for both educators and students.

Independent variables were chosen in accordance with this major hypothesis which was divided into …
