Removing Dust Bunnies And Expensive Paperweights From The Classroom : Effective Staff Development In Educational Technology, Margaret F. Krzywicki

Graduate Research Papers

With major funding directed toward putting technology in the classroom and training students to be tomorrow's workers, there needs to be an effective technology staff development program in place for the teachers. Developers of staff development programs need to include the learning style of adult learners (andragogy), instead of pedagogy. Successful staff development for the teachers must include innovation, release time, and quality equipment. The learning styles of adult learners should be foremost in the development of courses and workshops. Staff development is more than just the technical side of the technology. It should provide teachers with the tools to …

Wetlands Replacement Practices And Procedures For Indiana Highway Projects, James E. Alleman, Steve M. Graves Jan 2002

Wetlands Replacement Practices And Procedures For Indiana Highway Projects, James E. Alleman, Steve M. Graves

JTRP Technical Reports

It is estimated that Indiana has already lost more than 80% of its original, native wetlands, and concerns have been expressed that some fraction, and perhaps even a sizable fraction, of these losses can be historically linked to highway construction associated with INDOT-related activities. These wetlands are important for several reasons, in that they help keep ground water and surface water clean, serve as reservoirs for floodwaters, help recharge groundwater, provide habitats for many species of animals, and serve as recreational areas. This underlying concern behind this accusation, therefore, is that the construction of state and federal roads historically carried …

Music Collections In American Public Libraries, Linda B. Fairtile, Karen M. Burke Jan 2002

Music Collections In American Public Libraries, Linda B. Fairtile, Karen M. Burke

University Libraries Faculty and Staff Publications

This article presents a broad survey of music collections in public libraries in the United States. Characteristics common to the majority of American public libraries are discussed, including origin, funding, and mission as an educational institution. Using a 1949 survey compiled by Otto Luening, Music Materials and the Public Library, as a basis for comparison, the authors surveyed seven libraries representing one or more of the following communities: small towns, school districts with nationally recognized music education programs, large cities, and locations associated recognizably "American" musical styles (e.g., New Orleans and jazz). The results this informal web survey demonstrate …

Law Schools As Legal Education Centers, Martin H. Belsky Jan 2002

Law Schools As Legal Education Centers, Martin H. Belsky

Akron Law Faculty Publications

Legal education in the early twentieth century was divided into three concurrent paths-study at one of the "elite" law schools, consisting of mostly full-time students already possessing a college degree; study at one of the other mostly part-time practice based schools; and a course of study with a practitioner/mentor outside of formal educational institutions. ... Graduation was a serious event, as students were already thinking about passing the bar exam. ... Some of the reasons that law schools can deliver legal education to elementary and secondary students, obviously apply to junior college, college, and non-law school graduate and professional education …

A Comparison Of Faculty Role Ambiguity And Role Conflict At Freestanding And Component Community And Technical Colleges In West Virginia., Pamela Jane Hamilton

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The purpose of this study was to determine the difference, if any, between the levels of role conflict and role ambiguity as perceived by full-time faculty at two types of community and technical colleges in West Virginia. Full-time faculty from two freestanding and seven component institutions participated. Demographic characteristics were also compared with role conflict and role ambiguity by institutional type. Two survey instruments were mailed to the total population of 332 faculty. A return rate of 61% was attained. Role variables were measured with the Role Perception Questionnaire (Rizzo, House, & Lirtzman, 1970). A Faculty Demographic Questionnaire was used …

Daniel Defoe And The Reform Of The English Nation: An Examination Of His Moralistic Writings., Tiphanie N. Stocks Jan 2002

Daniel Defoe And The Reform Of The English Nation: An Examination Of His Moralistic Writings., Tiphanie N. Stocks

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) advocated social and moral reform in early eighteenth century England through his novels, pamphlets, essays, and other moralistic writings. This work traces Defoe’s reform efforts by analyzing his religious education and those political actions that helped him to develop his beliefs. While Defoe’s writings reflect religious and moral concerns that were typical of the era and addressed by other polemicists, he differed from contemporary reformers in that he used fiction as well as essays and pamphlets to disseminate his beliefs. While other writers quickly followed suit, up until 1720, only Paul Bunyan in The Pilgrim’s Progress, published …

An Unconstitutional Stereotype: Catholic Schools As Pervasively Sectarian, Gerard V. Bradley Jan 2002

An Unconstitutional Stereotype: Catholic Schools As Pervasively Sectarian, Gerard V. Bradley

Journal Articles

The Supreme Court first held public assistance to religious schools unconstitutional in 1971 in Lemon v. Kurtzman. From then until now the concept of “pervasively sectarian” has played a central role in “parochaid” jurisprudence; every holding against “direct” aid has rested upon it as a necessary premise. “Pervasively sectarian” refers to the assertedly religious (“sectarian”) character of the entire curriculum at parochial schools. Religion, it is said, so permeates the whole educational program that “direct aid” to any aspect of that program inescapably aids religion itself. And that, it is said, violates the Establishment Clause. Because aid statutes typically aim …

Attitudes Toward Spanish Language Maintenance Or Shift (Lmls) In The Lower Rio Grande Valley Of South Texas, Hugo A. Macias, Pamela L. Anderson, Ralph Carlson Jan 2002

Attitudes Toward Spanish Language Maintenance Or Shift (Lmls) In The Lower Rio Grande Valley Of South Texas, Hugo A. Macias, Pamela L. Anderson, Ralph Carlson

Writing and Language Studies Faculty Publications

This article considers attitudes among Spanish/English bilinguals of the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas toward Spanish language maintenance or language shift to English. The investigation was undertaken to replicate and compare results with similar data collected in 1982. Since the area has changed socially in the intervening years and is now the third-fastest-growing metropolitan-suburban area in the United States. it seems prudent to reconsider the sociolinguistic attitude changes that may also have occurred. Data collection. sampling. the indices. and the analysis of the 1982 study were replicated as nearly as possible for the present study. Results of the analysis …
