CGU Faculty Publications and Research

This paper describes the curricula contents, and presents data to evaluate the implementation, process and immediate post-test knowledge of Project Towards No Tobacco Use (Project TNT). Four different school-based tobacco use prevention curricula were developed to counteract the effects of three types of tobacco use acquisition variables typically addressed within a comprehensive social influences program: (1) peer approval for using tobacco (normative social influence), (2) incorrect social informational provided about tobacco use (information social influence) and (3) lack of knowledge or misperceptions about physical consequences resulting from tobacco use. Three curricula were designed to counteract the effects of single acquisition …

The Comparative Effects Of A Cognitive Learning Strategy And Movement Sequence Feedback During Motor Skill Acquisition., David Michael Cutton

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of an active, cognitive learning strategy and movement sequence feedback on learning the tennis forehand. Three experiments were conducted which involved manipulations of cognitive learning strategies and/or augmented, movement sequence feedback (AMSF). In Experiment 1 four groups of subjects (Advance Organizer (AO) strategy, Performer Self-Cueing (PSC) strategy, and two Control groups (differentiated by background)) performed 50 trials on 5 separate days in a pretest, posttest design, separated by 3 acquisition days. Subjects who used either strategy had significantly better outcome scores than the two Control groups. The PSC group's movement …

A Policy Approach To Educational Leadership In The State Legislature., Sue Wells Weaver Jan 1993

A Policy Approach To Educational Leadership In The State Legislature., Sue Wells Weaver

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study investigated legislative expert influence in the context of educational policy decisions. Institutional and behavioral approaches to legislative study were compared. In a chi square analysis of all legislative education enrollments in the 1993 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature, legislation introduction success was positively associated with author's level of credential and reputation expertise. Relative importance of type of expertise was indeterminable and some influence was unaccountable in the analysis. The policy approach, based on Theodore Lowi's theory that policy predicts politics, integrated the prior approaches. Lowi's distributive-regulatory-redistributive schema informed the independent policy variables, while influence, role, and subsystem …

An Exploration Of The Organizational Structure Of Instructional Supervision. (Volumes I And Ii)., Joseph Gerard Claudet Jan 1993

An Exploration Of The Organizational Structure Of Instructional Supervision. (Volumes I And Ii)., Joseph Gerard Claudet

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study explores the organizational nature of instructional supervision in schools. A conceptual model of the organizational/supervisory (O/S) structure and effects of school supervisory behaviors is presented. The model is based on an organizational conception of instructional supervision that views the variety of supervisory behaviors, interactions and decision making engaged in by school personnel as forming a unique supervisory subculture within the school organization. The model suggests that a school's overall O/S structure is determined through the complex interrelationship of an array of macro- and micro-level communicative elements or supervisory events. These macro- and micro-level elements are, in turn, influenced …

Toward Understanding Post-Structuralism And Curriculum., Wen-Song Hwu Jan 1993

Toward Understanding Post-Structuralism And Curriculum., Wen-Song Hwu

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This dissertation describes extensions of post-structuralism in contemporary curriculum discourses. Post-structuralist thought is mainly associated with the seminal work of Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Gilles Deleuze, Jean-Francois Lyotard, and Michel Serres. Post-structural criticism and analysis challenge prevailing structuralist approaches and question the fundamental assumptions upon which these approaches rest. A key assumption of structural approaches is that all phenomena are constituted by an underlying structure. In curriculum, these structural assumptions (often scientific) remain unacknowledged and thus are immunized against criticism; rather, they are incorporated into the preferred structural analyses, interpretations, and organizations promoted by the promise of order and rationality. …

A Sixth-Grade Literature Discourse Community: Making Social Meaning With Illustrated Literature During Interactive Reading Events., Elizabeth Lee Willis Jan 1993

A Sixth-Grade Literature Discourse Community: Making Social Meaning With Illustrated Literature During Interactive Reading Events., Elizabeth Lee Willis

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The study focused on six at-risk students enrolled in the sixth grade at a large urban Southern middle school. These students, along with their classroom teacher, participated in two interactive reading events using illustrated trade books. The purpose of the study was to examine how these students used the pictures and text to create meaning for the stories. The two illustrated selections differed in story complexity, amount of world knowledge required for interpretation, and relationship of pictures to text (i.e., a close relationship indicated both picture and text communicated similar information, while a distanced relationship indicated one source provided story …

Relationship Between Prosocial Orientation And Prosocial Behavior Of Preschoolers, Mark William Thompson Jan 1993

Relationship Between Prosocial Orientation And Prosocial Behavior Of Preschoolers, Mark William Thompson

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study concerns the multidimensional factors influencing preschoolers' prosocial behavior. Comprehension of this complex phenomenon requires a synthesized, theoretical conceptualization. This study develops the concept of prosocial orientation to meet this need. Prosocial orientation is posited as minimally composed of four core variables: perspective-taking, empathy, moral reasoning, and others-concept. The position is taken in this study that higher levels of some or all of these four variables may cluster statistically among some preschoolers. The second issue proposes that preschoolers with a relatively better developed prosocial orientation (i.e., higher levels of some or all of the four variables) would also likely …

A Study Of Collaborative Consultation Versus Traditional Methods Of Special Education Service Delivery., Jane Nell Guyer Luster Jan 1993

A Study Of Collaborative Consultation Versus Traditional Methods Of Special Education Service Delivery., Jane Nell Guyer Luster

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

This study examined the attitudes and perceptions of general and special educators engaged in collaborative consultation and those utilizing traditional self-contained or resource methods of special education service delivery. A difference in collaborative consultation and traditional educators was predicted on autonomy, as measured by Charters' (1974) Sense of Autonomy Scale (SAS), zone of acceptance, as measured by the Professional Zone of Acceptance Inventory (PZAI) (Kunz and Hoy, 1974), and pluralistic ignorance, as measured by the Pupil Control Ideology (PCI) form developed by Willower, Eidell, and Hoy (1967). School climate was measured using the Organizational Climate Description Question-Revised Elementary (OCDQ-RE) (Hoy …

Visual Transformations In Symbolic Elementary Algebra., Thomas Harold Awtry Jan 1993

Visual Transformations In Symbolic Elementary Algebra., Thomas Harold Awtry

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Competence in algebra requires knowledge of parsing and transformations. The parsing component specifies the structure of algebraic expressions based on conventional operation hierarchies. The transformational component specifies the real number properties used to transform algebraic expressions into equivalent forms. In standard models of mathematical cognition, both components are conceived as strictly propositional domains (e.g., Anderson, 1983a). Kirshner (1989b) demonstrated that parsing knowledge initially is apprehended in a visual (non-propositional) modality. This dissertation extends that visual analysis beyond parsing to the transformational component. It is proposed that transformations range on a continuum from highly propositional (e.g., x(y$\sp{-1}) = ({\rm x \over …
