The Effects Of Early Intervention On Young Handicapped Children Who Are Nonverbal Or Have Limited Expressive Language Skills, Joyce Mott Anderson Jan 1997

The Effects Of Early Intervention On Young Handicapped Children Who Are Nonverbal Or Have Limited Expressive Language Skills, Joyce Mott Anderson

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of early intervention services on sixteen young handicapped children who were nonverbal or exhibited limited expressive verbal skills. It was proposed that these children would make gains in all areas of development including cognitive, receptive language, expressive language, fine motor, gross motor, self-help, and social/emotional as a result of carefully and systematically planned intervention. The subjects in this study had expressive language delays ranging from eight to thirty-three months. All children participated in an early intervention learning center that provided services noncategorically using a wholistic and transdisciplinary approach; The findings …


Rhetorical Byron: An Interpretation Of His Historical Tragedies, Vicki Maxine Bertolino Jan 1997

Rhetorical Byron: An Interpretation Of His Historical Tragedies, Vicki Maxine Bertolino

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This thesis shows that Lord Byron's history plays in particular may be works of fiction, but they may also be viewed as rhetorical discourses because they can be seen as direct responses to the complex social and political issues emerging from both the Industrial and French Revolutions. This claim was demonstrated by using a contemporary concept of rhetoric, Lloyd Bitzer's "The Rhetorical Situation." The major findings of this study were that Lord Byron was a rhetorician because his plays reflected a specific rhetorical situation, yet he also failed as a rhetorician because of his selection of an abstract, idealized audience …


College Students' Image Of Nursing As A Career Choice, Diana Teresa Mendez Jan 1997

College Students' Image Of Nursing As A Career Choice, Diana Teresa Mendez

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

This thesis is a study of the image of nursing among college students. It has been inferred that the poor image of nursing negatively impacts on recruitment into the profession. A convenience survey of two groups of college students was instituted to determine the image of nursing in relation to an ideal career, and to discover if there are factors which make the choice of nursing as a career more likely. The responses of a group of 163 nonnursing students were compared to the responses of a group of 93 nursing students; This survey indicated that the image of nursing …

Nurse And Patient Perception Of Stressors Associated With Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery, Rosemary Puetz

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The instrument utilized was the Cardiac Surgery Stressor Scale. The research data was analyzed by the following statistical techniques: (1) descriptive methods, (2) Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, and (3) Student t-test. Nurses consistently rated the stressors higher than the patients. The results suggest that nurses need to develop a method …

Teacher Conceptions And The Curriculum: A Longitudinal, Multicase Study Of College Chemistry Teaching., Charles J. Killebrew Jan 1997

Teacher Conceptions And The Curriculum: A Longitudinal, Multicase Study Of College Chemistry Teaching., Charles J. Killebrew

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Strategic innovations and interventions to reform college science teaching will be required to promote the retention and achievement of those students who might otherwise elect to defect at the entry-level courses. The extent to which this can be achieved will depend upon educational research into ways that the science curriculum can be restructured to accomplish the dual function of enhancing science literacy while promoting recruitment to scientific careers. To explore these issues, four introductory college chemistry classes were observed over a period of two years. The classes were designated either as traditional or conceptual. Selection into these categories was based …

Development, Change, And Poverty In The Informal Sector During The Era Of Structural Adjustments In Tanzania, Joe Lugalla Jan 1997

Development, Change, And Poverty In The Informal Sector During The Era Of Structural Adjustments In Tanzania, Joe Lugalla

Institute for Educational Development, East Africa

This article focuses on periods of economic crisis and structural adjustments in Tanzania, when the informal sector changed both quantitatively and qualitatively. It highlights that the traditional view that the informal sector accommodated the unemployed, the poor, the unskilled, as well as utilizing family labour and local resources, was questionable in most of the sub-Saharan countries which were experiencing a severe economic crisis and have adopted structural adjustment policies (SAPs). The author suggests that policy programs aimed at promoting the informal sector should acknowledge the fact that the crisis, as well as SAPs, have forced not only the poor, but …
