An Educational History Of The Gullahs Of Coastal South Carolina From 1700 To 1900 (Black Education), Elizabeth Hoit-Thetford Aug 1986

An Educational History Of The Gullahs Of Coastal South Carolina From 1700 To 1900 (Black Education), Elizabeth Hoit-Thetford

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The educational efforts of the first fifty years of the 1700s for the Gullahs, black slaves brought to South Carolina's low country, were a by-product of the Church of England's concern for the souls of heathens. Through the Church's offspring, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, missionaries were sent to South Carolina beginning in 1702. By 1704, Samuel Thomas, the Society's first missionary there, reported that he had taught about twenty blacks to read, and by 1743 the Society opened a school for blacks in Charleston despite a 1740 law prohibiting slave education. Using two …

An Alternative View Of Education For Deaf Children: Part Ii, Lil Brannon, Sue Livingston Jul 1986

An Alternative View Of Education For Deaf Children: Part Ii, Lil Brannon, Sue Livingston

Publications and Research

How might deaf children acquire one of the primary goals of education literacy in English? This article suggests that literacy in English as well as knowledge of the English language can be acquired concomitantly through developmental reading and writing activities that reflect principles of first language acquisition if students bring to these activities relatable experiences which they have already linguistically represented. Such activities engage students in reading and writing where content and context support them in their attempts to actively understand and convey meaning in English. The end product of, rather than the prerequisite for, this meaningful reading and writing …

An Alternative View Of Education For Deaf Children: Part I, Sue Livingston Mar 1986

An Alternative View Of Education For Deaf Children: Part I, Sue Livingston

Publications and Research

Quigley and Kretschmer (1982) asserted that the primary goal of education for deaf children should be literacy in English. This article presents an alternative view that there be two primary goals: (a) thinking and learning through the development of meaning-making and meaning-sharing capacities and (b) the acquisition of literacy in English. In this article, the first of these goals is viewed as the more fundamental since it facilitates the acquisition of knowledge while it simultaneously serves as the prerequisite for the acquisition of literacy in English. Because neither direct language instruction nor the exclusive use of English in sign will …

Humans And Other Animals: A Biological And Ethical Perspective, Ashley Montagu Jan 1986

Humans And Other Animals: A Biological And Ethical Perspective, Ashley Montagu

Attitudes Towards Animals Collection

What I have been hoping to do in this talk is to provide the scientific basis for the biological kinship of humans with other animals in particular and the whole of nature in general, and to show that the ethical perspective to which such a demonstration leads is inherent in the very nature of nature, that cooperation, love, not conflict and aggression, as we have long been led to believe, is the dominant principle by which living creatures are designed to live with each other. It was not Darwin, but the muscular Darwinists, like Herbert Spencer, who wasn't a biologist …

An Investigation Of Career Development By Community College And University Women : Importance Of Contributors To Advancement Into Higher Education Administration, Lynda A. Kuyper

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

Surveys of women in higher education administrative positions that identified factors which may contribute to career development have been conducted. However, the literature revealed little information regarding the importance placed on those factors by women in higher education administrative positions. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of selected contributors to career development of women in higher education administration. Data were gathered by a mailed questionnaire to a sample of women administrators employed in Florida state supported community colleges and universities. The 343 useable returned questionnaires represented a 65.5% response rate and 51.3% of the total population. …

Delayed Onset Of Muscle Soreness: Creatine Kinase As A Marker For Tissue Damage (Pgf(2a) Metabolite)., John Douglas Boatwright Jan 1986

Delayed Onset Of Muscle Soreness: Creatine Kinase As A Marker For Tissue Damage (Pgf(2a) Metabolite)., John Douglas Boatwright

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Twenty college age males participated in a weight-lifting experiment, 3 sets of 10 repetitions at 70% 1RM for the squat, to examine the time courses between creatine phosphokinase (CPK), prostaglandin F(,2) alpha metabolite (PGF(,2a) met) and ratings of perceived soreness (RPS). Both groups, aspirin (n = 10) and placebo (n = 10), received medication (3g/day) for four consecutive days, starting 1 day prior to workout. Ratings of soreness and blood samples were taken pre- and immediately post-exercise, and at 24 h intervals for 3 days after exercise. There was no significant difference (p < 0.05) between the groups for CPK and RPS across time, but the prostaglandins were significantly different (p < 0.01) at all time intervals between groups. Changes seen across time were quadratic for all variables. The 24 h prostaglandin level was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the pre-, post-exercise and 72 h levels, but not significantly different from the 48 h level. Ratings of soreness were not significantly different (p < 0.05) at the 24 and 48 h intervals, but both were significantly higher than at all other time intervals. The mean CPK levels at 24 and 48 h were not significantly different (p < 0.05), but the 24 h CPK level was significantly higher (p < 0.05) from the other time intervals. There was a significant correlation (p < 0.01) between the time courses of CPK and RPS. It was concluded that CPK can be used as a marker for tissue damage and that prostaglandins did not influence the subjects' perception of muscle soreness or the release or uptake of CPK.

Summer Time Allocation In Vocational Agriculture Programs In The United States (12-Month Programs, Extended Contract)., Susan Skripac Camp

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine what activities vocational agriculture teachers in the United States believed should be a part of their summer programs and what they actually did during the summer of 1983. Three instruments were used to collect data for this study: a two-page questionnaire to state supervisors of agricultural education to determine what statewide activities were scheduled for teacher participation, a three-page questionnaire to 227 vocational agriculture teachers to gather program and teacher information and to determine what the teachers believed should be accomplished during their summer program, and a one-page bi-weekly summary to be …

A Study Of Experiences Provided In The Home Environment Associated With Accelerated Reading Abilities As Reported By Parents Of Intellectually Superior Preschoolers., Jeanne Marie Laporte Burns

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to look beyond the general effect that intelligence and environment have upon the development of reading and investigate (a) differences in how accelerated readers and nonreaders perform on written language tasks and (b) differences in written language experiences provided in the home environment, as reported by parents, associated with the development of accelerated reading abilities. Due to the broadness of the term written language, only four aspects of written language were examined (i.e., awareness of concepts about print, awareness of print in the environment, awareness of letter/sound correspondences in words--invented spelling, and awareness during …

The Contextual Interference Effect In Learning An Open Motor Skill (Random Practice, Blocked Practice)., Sinah Louise Goode Jan 1986

The Contextual Interference Effect In Learning An Open Motor Skill (Random Practice, Blocked Practice)., Sinah Louise Goode

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this series of experiments was to assess contextual interference effects for novices learning an open skill. Previous research has found that a random practice schedule as opposed to a blocked or repetitious schedule of practice facilitates retention and transfer in the learning of motor skills. The task required female subjects to throw a ball at a target to coincide the arrival of a trackway of light with the arrival of the ball. All subjects were inexperienced in throwing and open sport skills. Experiment 1 was designed to test contextual interference results on novices learning an open skill …

The Effect Of Educational Technology Variables On Elementary Education Student Achievement (Instructional Materials, Educational Media)., Deborah Scruggs Miller

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine whether educational technology variables differentiate between "effective" and "ineffective" elementary schools. It was hypothesized that "effective schools" use educational media in instruction more frequently than "ineffective schools". It was also expected that "effective schools" use educational media in qualitatively superior ways to "ineffective schools". In addition, it was predicted that "effective schools" would have better prepared teachers in educational media and teachers with more years of teaching experience than "ineffective schools". The sample consisted of fourteen elementary schools located in 12 school districts throughout Louisiana. Each school was determined to be either …
