The Effect Of Special Class Placement And Remediation On The Self-Concept Of The Learning Disabled Child, Marianne Seibert

Master's Theses

Results of this study do seem to indicate that learning disabled children enrolled in a heterogeneously grouped classroom develop appraisals of self in academic areas separate from a more general, overall perception of self. If this is the case, estimates of a global self-concept may cloud important differences in the individual components of self-concept.

An Analysis Of The Educational Effectiveness Of Seven School Districts In Western Douglas County, Robert James Jacquot

Student Work

The United States has never operated under a national system of education. Instead, all fifty states operate by a system of local school districts, intermediate units and state departments of education. Ultimate control of education rests with the state constitution and the state legislature. Most states have adopted a policy creating local school districts throughout the state and then delegating responsibility for their operation to local boards of education.

An Empirical Estimation Of A Cost Function For Elementary And Secondary Education, Alexander Bradley Holmes

Graduate Dissertations and Theses

Recent court cases, such as the California case of Serrano v. Priest, have revived interest in the question of equal educational opportunity. While The Supreme Court ruled that, in effect, education is not a right guaranteed under the Constitution and thus financing education on the basis of a local property tax is not unconstitutional, the provision of equal educational opportunity is still very much a live public issue, at least on the state level. The institution of the Fleischmann Commission in New York State to study educational financing with the mandate that "removing (educational) inequities deserves top priority" is …

The Home Manager's Education Level As Related To Perception Of Locus Of Control, Joyce Marie Lundell

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The relationship of level of education to degree of "internality" in home managers was investigated. Level of education was defined as the number of years of formal education completed. The degree of "internality" was defined as a score on Rotter's I-E Scale.

The instruments used were a background questionnaire and Rotter's I-E Scale.

The background questionnaire and the I-E Scale were administered to 163 home managers from Ogden, Utah, who were members of selected women's church affiliated organizations.

Two hypotheses were formulated and tested:

1. Higher level of formal education will be correlated with lower I-E Scale scores for home …

Defining And Attaining Equal Educational Opportunity In A Pluralistic Society, Ernest Q. Campbell

Vanderbilt Law Review

We in America have never made peace with the concept of pluralism. As a nation, we are fundamentally committed to the ideal of "equal opportunity"; yet, despite our presumably concomitant dedication to the principle that society should accommodate diverse values and goals,we have not conceptualized any means of determining whether equality of opportunity exists except by measuring people on the same scale. We have an appropriate rhetoric for describing equal opportunity--self-actualization, through which each person develops to the fullest extent in those directions that he or she wishes--but we have no institutionalized standards for determining whether realization of potential has …
