A Comparison Of The Achievement Records Of A United States History Class Taught By Socialized Methods And A United States History Class Taught By The Lecture-Question Method, Kenneth S. Hauge
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The basic problem confronting all teachers is how to help each student develop himself to full capacity, mentally and socially. Lack of student interest is often an important factor in the consideration of poor school records. This lack of interest is especially apparent in such courses as government and history. Various educators have suggested improved methods of instruction as one answer to this problem. Proponents of socialized recitation claim that the emphasis must be taken from the teacher and placed on the pupils. They believe that attitudes developed through study and classroom procedures are more important than the acquisition of …

Student Automobiles On The College Campus, Lois Elaine Qualben
Student Automobiles On The College Campus, Lois Elaine Qualben
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Two slightly related developments in recent years have greatly affected the general character of American college and university life: the great increase in enrollments, and the widespread student possession of luxuries while in college. Since much attention has been given to the effect of increased enrollments, the writer feels that the influence of the extensive possession of luxuries on the scholastic achievement merits examination. In this study, the writer intends to look at an increasingly common factor in college life—the possession of automobiles by college students and to see what, if any, significance it bears as a deterrent from study. …

An Experimental Study To Determine The Effect Of A Speech Of Introduction Upon The Persuasive Speech That Followed, Barbara Kersten
An Experimental Study To Determine The Effect Of A Speech Of Introduction Upon The Persuasive Speech That Followed, Barbara Kersten
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Basic textbooks in the area of public speaking frequently contain information concerning the importance of speeches of introduction. The authors consulted recommend that to achieve these purposes a speech of introduction should focus attention on the speaker without containing personal comments about the introducer, should focus attention on the subject without discussing it, and should build the speaker’s prestige without embarrassing him by over-praise. Despite this agreement among authors, there appears to be not direct experimental evidence to support the assumption that the effectiveness of a persuasive speech is influenced by the speech of introduction which precedes the communication. However, …
