Survey Of Education Of Aboriginal Children In Selected Western Australian Schools : (Preliminary Survey), C. Makin, D. Ibbotson

Research outputs pre 2011

Information was sought late in 1972 about problems encountered by teachers in schools with a fairly high proportion of Aboriginal children. For this purpose a questionnaire was designed to elicit information about the school situation, the surrounding community, enrolment, age and experience of the teaching staff and actual pedagogical problems encountered and methods of dealing with them. Another principle aim was to ascertain the extent to which the curiculum had been adapted to local situations and to determine what implications this might have for pre-service and in-service training.

All Master's Theses

This study investigated the impact of a Head Start program upon its participants and compared the performance of these children to their disadvantaged peers and children above poverty-level guidelines. The results of the study indicated there were no significant differences in the school readiness skills attained by the Head Start and disadvantaged peers groups. Both groups evidenced significantly weaker school readiness skills than did their more advantaged counterparts.

Recommendations include more activities for developing readiness skills and suggestions for additional research.

A Study Of Selected Walt Disney Screenplays And Films And The Stereotyping Of The Role Of The Female, Jerry P. Houseman

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Given this large involvement that children have with motion pictures, an educator is moved to inquire into the possible effects that movies might have upon them. It, therefore, seems appropriate that an educational dissertation be undertaken concentrating on Disney Production films, since as indicated by the foregoing, they are so universally viewed by American children.

Statement of the problem:

This study attempted to (1) analyze the five screenplays listed on page 6, (2) show two Disney films based on the screenplays analyzed to groups of children and administer a questionnaire to them. The investigator used the obtained data to determine …

A Study Of The Advice And Counsel Given By Omaha Pediatricians And General Practitioners To The Parents Of Retarded Children, Nancy Karen Kelly

Student Work

Since the beginning of man, the human race has had the problem of dealing with those individuals who could not function and learn as well in society as could the great majority. The vast majority of them are best known by the label, retarded. In ancient times, they were persecuted, mistreated, and even left to die . The rise of Christianity had not significantly improved their lot, and it wasn't until the 19th century that men and women such as Itard, Sequin, Montessori, and Decroly began to investigate their potential. Despite considerable effort, many thousands of retarded children and adults …

A Model To Elicit Optimum Internal Communications In Unified School Districts, Harry C. Weinberg

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Often it is the case unified school districts do not have optimum internal communications. "'Today school personnel, including administrator, often 'confound' their own language by failing to communicate adequately and effectively or by communicating unintentionally in a manner that is detrimental to them and the schools with which they are associated."

Each district has its own unique instruments and channels by which internal communications take place. Knezevich states~, "Communications is one of the least understood areas in administration." This study provides information about successful communication techniques and presents a viable model that should have positive practical implications for unified school …

An Organizational Typology : The Nature Of An Incongruent Organization, Ursula Loree Shepherd

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The research group was also anxious to take on this study because it was just following the first welfare worker’s strike in California. This had occurred at the agency in question and provided a situation in which the team would receive maximum cooperation. It was expected that the agency would be more likely to implement the team’s suggestions.

As the study progressed the questions which became of most interest were those which related to the issues of whether or not the organization could function well, where the sources of power and goal-setting lay, and what could be done. After a …

This contractual agreement was based upon Glasser's Reality Therapy and tailored to the individual problem child's own needs, in order to help him to improve his behavior and achievement.
