(1977) Philosophy In The Classroom: A Response To Wilson, Levinson And Moore, Philip C. Guin

Collected Papers of Philip C. Guin

In response to reviews of Philosophy in the Classroom (Matthew Lipman, Ann Margaret Sharp, and Frederick S. Oscanyan, 1977) by John Wilson, Daniel Levinson, and J.T. Moore (Teaching Philosophy 2(3/4): 392-395, attached here) Guin notes that the book was written for teachers, prospective teachers, administrators, and others preparing to implement an elementary program in philosophy without previous training in logic, epistemology, or ethics, and that the author’s claims are not speculative, but reflect documented achievements. He argues that the book is well-suited for teachers anxious to learn how to get at the ideas embedded in a philosophical novel, how …

The California Teacher Association As A Legislative Lobby, Liston Fred Sabraw

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The performance of the California Teachers Agsociation (CTA) as a legislative lobby during the 1958 -1974 period was examined in relation to seven operant questions and Laurence Iannaccone's typology of legislature-education lobby linkage structures.

It was found that in 1972-74 CTA had a reduced level of legislative influence and a 44 percent success ratio on CIA-sponsored measures compared to 68 percent in 1955-57 and greater legislative acceptance. California' s legislative and political systems moved from a phase II (united) to a III (disunited) legislature education lobby linkage structure in 1961-65. The 1961-70 years were a period of decline for the …

A Comparison Of Music Programs In California Unified School Districts With And Without Music Leadership, Thomas David Hopkins

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

There was a need to determine if there was any evidence that people in official music leadership positions in school districts had performed a service which had demonstrated effects on various elements of the music program.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not school districts WITH music leaders, as compared to those districts WITHOUT music leaders, have more (1) music students, (2) music classes and performance group opportunities, (3) music staff and development opportunities, (4) adequate financial support and adequate inventories for music, and (5) goal orientation in music. Also, the study was to determine if …

The Effects Of Counseling Involvement On Elementary School Student Behavior., Rosanne Marie Perry

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of varying degrees of involvement in the therapeutic process. The sample of this field study was comprised of those clients involved in a county mental health linked program administered by a private agency. The target population was kindergarten, first and second grade students in selected county schools. Having been referred by their teachers, each child was then treated by a counselor who provided individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, and/or consultation. If it seemed appropriate, in-class tutoring or compensatory classes were offered for the child. The two experimental groups were …

Features Of Serbo-Croatian For Language Teachers, Eric G. Vaszolyi

Research outputs pre 2011

Teachers of migrant children experience a great many difficulties in trying to understand and resolve their pupils' language problems. One basic problem is all too familiar: the teacher speaks English and the migrant child does not understand it or only understands it to some, rather limited, extent. Another problem area: the pupil picks up some English in the classroom, on the playground and out in the street but speaks it with a peculiar accent and peppers it with phonemic, grammatical and semantic errors. The child's deviations from the generally accepted patterns of English (i.e. the prevalent variety of English spoken …

Moora: Aboriginal Children In A Wheatbelt Town, Lois Tilbrook

Research outputs pre 2011

Moora town was established in 1875, when the railway from Midland Junction to Walkaway was built. There had always been Aborigines in the surrounding districts, and as land was taken up for farming, a number of them were employed as farmhands and domestics.

The town is the regional centre for the North Midlands, a subdivision of the Northern Agricultural Statistical Division of Western Australia. As such, it was developed to service the agricultural hinterland. The Northern Agricultural Statistical Division has a total population of 42,804 people (23,044 males and 19,766 females) of whom 1,828 or 4.6% are Aboriginal (1,003 males …

Talking With Children, Brian Lever

Research outputs pre 2011

This book is a collection of interviews with children. It is intended to give the reader a glimpse of some of the ways in which children think about things. Some of the interviews are almost whimsical. Others are quite serious.

The interviews were conducted by a group of twenty student teachers during their last term of teacher training. This group of student teachers were but a small part of a much larger group of students all of whom had been given the task of interviewing a child. The purpose of the task was partly to give the students an opportunity …

Research outputs pre 2011

A music drama in three acts, for Junior Primary School children. The story is based on the Ramayana saga, as told by Joanna Troughton in her book The Story of Rama and Sita. The words of the drama have been drawn from discussions with the children, and wherever possible the children's own words have been used.

Students from Churchlands College of Advanced Education were involved in the development of the drama, and in planning and conducting preparatory experiences for and with the children.

Language Problems And Aboriginal Education, Ed Brumby (Ed.)

Research outputs pre 2011

Effective communication must be an essential feature of any teaching/ .learning situation and it follows that considerable difficulties arise when teacher and learner speak different and mutually unintelligible languages or dialects. This, unfortunately, is the situation in which many, if not most, Aboriginal children and their teachers throughout Australia find themselves. This classroom situation reflects, of course, the difficulties and frustrations experienced on a wider scale by many Aboriginal parents and Aboriginal communities, and those outsiders who work with them. The problem is compounded further by the fact that few teachers or others who work in Aboriginal areas are given …

Work-Study Innovative Teaching Programme (Wsitp) : Evaluation Report, Rod Mcdonald

Research outputs pre 2011

The Work Study Innovative Teaching Programme (WSITP) was introduced in 1977. This followed the submission of a research proposal to the Assistant Vice Principal (Research Planning and Development) of Churchlands College by a group of interested staff, and the subsequent approval by the College that the programme be offered on a pilot basis for one year.

To quote from the original proposal: "WSITP will use a continuous practice-teaching experience as a means of helping students to become teachers rather than just lecturing about teaching. The WSITP will be designed to assist students in their exploration and discovery of personal meanings …
