Developing Critical Literacy With Seventh Graders., Kasey L. Barr Apr 2001

Developing Critical Literacy With Seventh Graders., Kasey L. Barr

Student Work

The purpose of this study was to encourage and examine seventh grade students' aesthetic responses to literature that focus on issues of power and oppression. Transactional theory and critical literacy combined in the forms of written response and literature discussions. Data were students' response log entries, transcripts of literature circle discussions, and notes from debriefing sessions. Results revealed 1) the majority of students' response log entries were written from the aesthetic stance; 2) students responded to oppressed characters' situations by supporting or encouraging acceptance, passive resistance, active resistance, or adult assistance; 3) students described oppressed characters as subjects (as opposed …


The Vincentian Higher Education Apostolate In The United States, Dennis H. Holtschneider C.M., Ed.D., Edward R. Udovic C.M., Ph.D. Apr 2001

The Vincentian Higher Education Apostolate In The United States, Dennis H. Holtschneider C.M., Ed.D., Edward R. Udovic C.M., Ph.D.

Vincentian Studies

Dennis Holtschneider and Edward Udovic note that “in the United States, a college degree is the single most effective way to lift a person out of poverty.” Due to the rising costs of higher education, persons who are poor are much less likely to go to college, and those who do are less likely to graduate. Vincentian universities in the US educate poor persons to “break the cycle of poverty,” encourage all students to serve those in need, research causes of and solutions to poverty, and serve the poor in other ways. A brief history of American Vincentian educational institutions …

Assimilation Concerns Of Immigrant High School Students To The United States, Michelle Jeannette Garcia Apr 2001

Assimilation Concerns Of Immigrant High School Students To The United States, Michelle Jeannette Garcia

Student Work

This dissertation examined the difficulties in assimilation faced by immigrant students in our nation's public schools. One paradigm through which these difficulties might be viewed is the phenomenon of cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance was defined as the psychological discomfort aroused by dissonant cognitions experienced by an individual. A review of the literature substantiated the fact that immigrant students are bombarded by dissonant cognitions every day in American schools as they adapt to their new lives here. Some resolve the psychological stress caused by these dissonant cognitions better than others.


Communication And Collaboration With Educators: The Perspective Of Middle School Parents., Michelle M. Cox Apr 2001

Communication And Collaboration With Educators: The Perspective Of Middle School Parents., Michelle M. Cox

Student Work

This paper presents educational research about the uniqueness of middle school children, the perspectives of parents and teachers regarding communication with one another, and how schools can involve parents in the educational process. The literature reveals a lack of information regarding the perspective of parents of middle school children. Nine interviews were conducted with parents of middle school children in a small, midwestem community to gain their perspectives on communicating with teachers. Parents were asked to describe experiences with teachers to determine what types of communication were most effective and what conflicts existed. A social constructivist approach was used to …

Process And Impact Evaluation Of A Theory-Based Training Program Of Lay Health Volunteers To Facilitate Smoking Cessation Among African Americans In A Midwest City, Therese Sullivan

Student Work

Although cigarette smoking is the leading cause of disease and death for all racial groups in the United States, African Americans bear the greatest burden for health risks. Lung cancer is the leading incidence for all cancer deaths for this subgroup. Many of the past formal smoking cessation interventions had been initiated in the white middle class population. This study aimed to evaluate a pilot project developed around a modified version of the American Cancer Society’s Fresh Start Program to train the trainers in facilitating smoking cessation programs for a low-income predominately African American community in Omaha, NE. A group …
