09. Ethical Inquiry: Instructional Manual To Accompany Lisa, Matthew Lipman, Ann Margaret Sharp
Middle School Curriculum
The aim of this program is to provide students with the tools they need to deliberate well about ethical issues. These tools include anticipating consequences, taking all the circumstances into account, giving good reasons, universalizing, being consistent, and projecting ideals of the people they would like to be and the world they would like to live in. In addition to the use of such tools, good ethical inquiry also involves an understanding of metaphysical, ethical, social, and aesthetic concepts. For this reasons, ETHICAL INQUIRY provides a host of introductions to concepts such as self, time, personhood, reciprocity, and freedom, as …

The Effect Of Metacognitive Strategy Training On Critical Reading Ability., Jacqueline Means Parson
The Effect Of Metacognitive Strategy Training On Critical Reading Ability., Jacqueline Means Parson
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The ability to read materially critically is recognized as a goal of educators. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of training metacognitive strategies on critical reading ability. Critical reading was defined as the ability to judge or evaluate written materials and to compare them against some norm or standard. Metacognitive strategies encourage a conscious awareness of and/or control over one's own mental processes. A review of literature indicated that past researchers had considered critical reading as a distinct skill area, but more recently, educators have begun to recognize it as a part of the overall comprehension …

Pupil Control Ideology And Pluralistic Ignorance In A Residential Facility For The Hearing Impaired: Hearing And Non-Hearing Teacher Perspectives., James Alan Vitagliano
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The study's purpose was to examine variation in pupil control ideology (PCI) and existence of pluralistic ignorance in a school for the deaf. Participant observation, survey administration, and ethnographic interview techniques were related to nine hypotheses focused upon informal group structures of hearing and non-hearing teachers within the school culture. The hypotheses were: (1) Hearing teachers will perceive PCI of non-hearing teachers as more custodial than non-hearing teachers report. (2) Non-hearing teachers will perceive PCI of hearing teachers as more custodial than hearing teachers report. (3) Hearing teachers will perceive hearing teachers' PCI as less custodial than non-hearing teachers' PCI. …

The Influence Of Federal Administrative Trends On The Budgetary Processes Of Nigeria’S Federal Universities., Iliya Wambi Samaila
Dissertations (Pre-2016)
The proliferation of university educational demand in Nigeria occurred as a result of the oil boom and the subsequent creation of nineteen states. In 1974, Ibadan and Lagos Universities were the only federal universities; in 1976 seven more universities were created. The sudden increase, from two in 1974 to thirteen federal universities in 1976, necessitated the adoption of the formula funding model, which was perceived as being capable of allocating resources to all similar academic programs in the institutions. The thirteen federal universities were used in the study. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability outcome of …
Children's Affective Expression In Human Figure Drawings: Adult Recognition Of Children's Depiction Of Six Affective Expressions., Ralph Darrell Ramsden
Children's Affective Expression In Human Figure Drawings: Adult Recognition Of Children's Depiction Of Six Affective Expressions., Ralph Darrell Ramsden
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The understanding of children's abilities to express affect in drawings of the human figure has clinical and developmental significance, yet is an area that until recently has received relatively minimal research attention. The present study investigated the abilities of child psychologists, graduate psychology students, and non-mental health raters to correctly identify the attempts of 72 kindergarten, second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth-grade students to depict six common affective expressions in human figure drawings. The affective expressions were: happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, surprise, and fear. Thirty-six adult raters (18 female; 18 male) reviewed 216 drawings, identified the perceived affective expression, and …

Evaluating The Effect Of Project H.O.P.E.: An After-School Study Hall, Eugene Joseph Schmidt
All Graduate Projects
The effectiveness of Project HOPE, an acronym for Helping Our People Educationally, was tested to determine if improved academic achievement would result from an after-school study hall. Intended for ninth grade students that fall behind because of uncompleted daily work and missed assignments, Project HOPE was created to give students "a last chance." It was thought that daily work scores would rise and that students would realize an overall increase in their final course grades. The actual experiment was run from November 19, 1984 until January 17, 1985. The experimental group was the writer's tenth grade English class. Despite improvements …

A Handbook For An Advisory Program In The Middle School, Deborah E. Brewer
A Handbook For An Advisory Program In The Middle School, Deborah E. Brewer
All Graduate Projects
The transescent child is in a state of metamorphosis in body, mind, emotions and value system. Because of these extreme changes, middle level students often experience feelings of inadequacy which result in poor school performance. The enhancement of self esteem through the development of an advisory program handbook is the goal of this project. This handbook will include units which promote student self concept and acceptance and in turn create an environment more conducive to student success and achievement.
