A Study Of Teaching About Religions In Selected Iowa Public High Schools, Douglas W. Sprague

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study investigated public high school teachers perceptions about religions in the curriculum, and practices of public high school teachers when teaching about religions in public high school classrooms. The study used a modified version of the analytical induction model of qualitative research presented by (Bogdan & Biklen, 1982). Three pre-selected high schools in the state of Iowa were identified by the researcher for study. A common departmental structure was used to identify teachers from across the curriculum as participants in the study. The schools were of three different enrollment sizes. Thirty-four teachers who taught 79 different courses made up …

Chapter I Teachers As Reading Facilitators Through Connecting The Comprehension-Composition Processes, Elizabeth Ketter-Norton

Graduate Research Papers

Reading teachers in Chapter I school programs are currently following a job description based upon expectations of the past (Robinson & Pettit, 1978). Traditionally, the solution for schools' reading problems has been to employ specially trained teachers to work with students on a referral basis outside the classroom. An increased interest in reading and an abundance of government funding during the 1950 1 s and 1960 1 s served to reinforce this plan. The emphasis in these remedial programs was on correcting reading failure after it had happened rather than preventing it (Smith, 1962).

The Use Of Cooperative Learning As A Method Of Instruction For Talented And Gifted Sixth-Grade Math Students, Barbara Steele

Graduate Research Papers

In the 1980s, most teachers are striving to meet the diverse needs of all the students in their classroom. More emphasis is now being placed on developing programs and instructional methods for gifted and talented children. A recent mandate by the Iowa Department of Education states that every school district shall establish a program that meets the educational needs of identified talented and gifted students (State of Iowa Department of Education, 1988).

Facilitating Transfer Of Training To The Workplace, Mary Ann Yedlick

Graduate Research Papers

The role of training in the 1990's is predicted to expand sharply, bringing with it both problems and opportunities. Professional trainers must be increasingly concerned with creating effective programs. Organizations will focus on outcomes that are observable and measurable in on-the-job behavior.

A Survey Of Acceleration Programs And Selection Criteria For Intellectually Gifted Elementary Children In Selected Iowa School Districts, 1989-1990, Christy A. Vandeventer

Graduate Research Papers

Controversy continues in the realm of acceleration for gifted children. Acceleration is widely accepted and endorsed by experts in the field of talented and gifted education as a viable, valid, and necessary aspect in meeting the needs of intellectually gifted students (Aldrich, 1989; Bolenbaugh, 1980; Brody & Benbow, 1987; Daniel & Cox, 1987; Gohlke, 1979; Huffman, 1983; Kulik & Kulik, 1984; Pollins, 1983). However, it is an objectionable option for many educational policy makers and practitioners in the educational field and in local schools (Southern, Jones, & Fiscus, 1989).

Exercise Habits Of College-Age Students, Kevin Sullivan

Graduate Research Papers

Recent studies have shown that cardiovascular disease is a factor in 54% of all deaths (Kreplin, 1981), and that youngsters are not physically fit. Based upon these studies and others, it is likely that college-age students are not implementing good exercise habits. The purpose of this study was to determine the exercise habits of college-age students.

The design of the study was quasi-experimental. A researcher-generated exercise questionnaire (Appendix A) was constructed and administered to 112 subjects in 8 different summer school classes at the University of Northern Iowa. There were 41 males and 71 females who volunteered to complete the …

Mechanical Properties Of Polymeric Packaging Films After Radiation Sterilization, Viriya Pungthong

Theses

The use of radiation as a sterilization process is increasing. The well-developed technology of the radiation sterilization as applied to medical devices has assured the food industry that the process is reliable. Due to the food industry's possibility of widespread use, it is especially crucial that an appropriate packaging material be chosen so that its integrity is maintained after irradiation. This is because the commercial food packaging process carries products through more rigorous paths and channels than medical supplies. Many polymers used in the medical field show various degrees of degradation after radiation exposure, which can be determined either by …

The Misappropriation Theory: A Practical Means Of Imposing Rule 10b-5 Liability, Christine Marra

University of Richmond Law Review

The degree of insider trading has intensified in recent years. This intensification is partially due to the current law's failure to provide a clear standard for imposing liability. Rule 10b-5, formulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to implement section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, does not contain a clear definition of insider trading. The courts have struggled to define the scope of 10b-5; the leading case law demonstrates the difficulty courts have had determining what constitutes insider trading.

Steering Away From The Arbitration Process: Recognizing State Law Tort Actions For Unionized Employees, David C. Gardiner Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

When an employer and a labor union negotiate over an employment contract, their agreements are usually set forth in a collective bargaining agreement. The collective bargaining agreement defines the relationship between the employer and the unionized employees and addresses such matters as wages, hours, and other conditions of employment. Additionally, collective bargaining agreements usually include grievance procedures and arbitration clauses to resolve disputes between the employer and the unionized employees.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Antitrust And Trade Regulation, Michael F. Urbanski

University of Richmond Law Review

In this past year, as in previous years, Virginia courts have imposed strict requirements on plaintiffs bringing antitrust claims. While antitrust claims remain popular, many have foundered because the plaintiff either failed to show the existence of an antitrust conspiracy or antitrust injury, or the plaintiff inadequately defined the market allegedly affected by the antitrust violation. The courts' exacting scrutiny extends beyond the elements of the action itself to procedural rules, evidentiary requirements and remedies. While one Fourth Circuit case suggests a slight relaxation in the analysis of state action immunity, the apparent adoption of the "market screen" analysis in …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

The past few years of legal developments involving children have been marked in part by an increase in the number of major decisions from the United States Supreme Court which have had a direct impact on children. Some of those decisions have had a very dramatic effect, as noted in previous surveys, such as juvenile death penalty cases, cases addressing issues involving abused or neglected children, an opinion defining the associational rights of children, two cases further extending the rights of illegitimate children, decisions addressing the educational rights of handicapped children, and three important decisions narrowing the first amendment and …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1990 session of the General Assembly enacted legislation dealing with wills, trusts, and estates that added, amended, or repealed a number of sections of the Code of Virginia (the "Code"). In addition to this legislation, there were fifteen cases from the Supreme Court of Virginia, in the year ending June 1, 1990, which involved issues of interest to both the general practitioner and the specialist in wills, trusts, and estates. This article analyzes each of these legislative and judicial developments.

The Specificity Of Pleading In Modern Civil Practice: Addressing Common Misconceptions, Ian James Wilson, William Louis Payne

University of Richmond Law Review

The pleading procedure serves as the foundation for the entire legal process. Pleadings focus the issues, narrow the evidence admissible at trial, apprise the adverse party and the court of the matter in dispute, and provide the extent of the res judicata effect of the judgment. To secure the foundation and to effectuate the purposes of the pleading procedure, it is imperative that the pleading set forth sufficient allegations. The standard for determining the sufficiency of the allegations is referred to as the specificity requirement and serves as the focus of this Note.

The Surrogate Mother Contract: In The Best Interests Of Society?, Audrey Wolfson Latourette

University of Richmond Law Review

On March 31, 1987, Judge Harvey R. Sorkow upheld, for the first time, the validity of a surrogate mother-contract in his decision, In the Matter of Baby M. In broad and sweeping language, the judge deemed the contract between the natural mother, Mary Beth Whitehead, (termed the surrogate, pursuant to the contract language) and the natural father, William Stern, specifically enforceable. Judge Sorkow thus terminated Whitehead's parental rights to the child she bore and permanently denied her claims for future custody or future visitation. Creating new law, the judge held that baby selling and adoption laws do not pertain to …

As We Forgive Our Debtors: Bankruptcy And Consumer Credit In America, Michael J. Herbert

University of Richmond Law Review

Bankruptcy may soon join death and taxes as an inevitable consequence of human life. During the year ending June 30, 1988, (the most recent year for which there are conveniently available figures) 594,567 American individuals and companies filed for bankruptcy. There is more than a sporting chance that, come the next recession, bankruptcies will top one million per year. Good news for lawyers, if not the economy.

Substantial Connection And The Illusive Facilitation Element For Civil Forfeiture Of Narcoband In Drug Felony Cases, Steven S. Biss

University of Richmond Law Review

When Stanford Bradshaw returned home from the mall, Halifax County, Virginia, police officers arrested him for possession of cocaine. A subsequent search of his residence produced forty-nine grams of cocaine, a set of scales and a little over $17,000 in cash stuffed in a bank bag. Bradshaw was a cocaine addict who occasionally sold drugs from his house. Although he knew he had committed a serious crime, Bradshaw did not imagine the ultimate consequence of his criminal activity. The Commonwealth's Attorney seized Bradshaw's house and instituted forfeiture proceedings: the most powerful weapon in its arsenal. As a result of his …
