A Study Of Factors Contributing To Achieving And Sustaining School Effectiveness In Elementary Schools, Janet A. Hageman Chrispeels Edd
Dissertations
An effective school is one in which there are overall high levels of achievement sustained over time and in which students from the lower socioeconomic (SES) subgroups are performing at levels comparable to higher SES groups. Through a case study methodology, the author analyzed the degree of effectiveness in eight elementary schools and factors that contributed to attaining this level of effectiveness. Over a five year period, data were collected at each school through interviews, effective schools surveys, CAP test results, and other school records. The effectiveness of each school was determined by applying three criteria that evaluated the overall …

A Study Of Iconicity In Korean: With Special Attention To Long And Short Forms, Kyu-Cheol Kim
Linguistics & TESOL Dissertations - Archive
This study of iconicity if Korean has examined the iconic relationship (non-arbitrariness) between form and meaning in phonology, morphology, and syntax. There are many pairs of linguistic expressions that carry roughly the same meaning. The two members of the pair exhibit different lengths or sizes: one of the pair is short (or small), i.e., the Short-Form, the other of the pair is long (or large), i.e., the Long-Form. The different lengths are focused upon in this study. This study begins with the question: why are there two forms which exhibit different lengths (or size)? In order to answer this question, …

Black Students In Private White Colleges: Changing Coping Strategies., Anece Faison Mccloud
Student Work
The present study was undertaken to investigate changes in the coping strategies of black students at private, predominantly white colleges, and the implications of their behavior for the future of black Americans. This population of students was selected for the study because blacks in private, predominantly white colleges who assimilate successfully and graduate from these institutions are presumed to have an advantage over other college graduates. A prestigious network in place through fellow alumni, former professors and "friends" of the college help them to move into the American mainstream. Consequently, they become part of a sub-group of privileged black Americans …

An Examination Of Mediation As An Atternative To Special Education Due Process Proceedings In Nebraska., Mark Charles Draper
Student Work
Prior to the Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (EAHCA), the educational rights of special education students in the United States were not clearly defined and varied greatly from state to state.

Procedural guidelines called for in EAHCA included the establishment of individualized education programs (IEP's). A second procedural guide¼ine was the requirement that handicapped children be served in the least restrictive environment in an educational setting. Procedural guidelines were also included providing handicapped individuals …

An Administrative Model For Professional Development Centers In The Reform Of Teacher Education, Norma J. Morrison
An Administrative Model For Professional Development Centers In The Reform Of Teacher Education, Norma J. Morrison
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem of this study was to identify a validated model of professional development centers (PDCs) for teacher education that could be applied collaboratively by administrators in higher education and the local school systems. A thorough investigation failed to reveal a model. Therefore, a professional development center model was synthesized from the literature, attributes of existing centers, and ideas of East Tennessee educators who were in positions to implement such a model. The examination of centers incorporated both quantitative and qualitative research methodology. The quantitative investigation was a combination of inductive and deductive analysis of responses to a survey form …

Financial health was defined as the ability of an institution to pay its current debts. Secondly, the study tested a number of hypotheses derived from the contingency model of leadership effectiveness. Lastly, the study attempted to determine if there was an association between two lists of institutions considered to be led by effective presidents. The study involved a stratified random sample of 263 private institutions accredited by the Southern Association of …

A Study Of Learning Activities Of Selected Caregivers Of Alzheimer's Patients In East Tennessee, Jeannette G. Mclaughlin
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem of this study was to identify and describe the individual learning activities of caregivers of people with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and to develop an analytical description of the patterns of learning of these adults. An instrument was not available for use; therefore, a focused interview guide was developed. The interview guide was developed through consultation with several spouses or adult children caring for Alzheimer's patients, professionals in the health care field, and a review of the literature. The major analysis procedure for the study was the constant comparative method, an inductive method that has been used …

Risk Analysis In Economics: An Application To University Finances, William D. Nordhaus
Risk Analysis In Economics: An Application To University Finances, William D. Nordhaus
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
Although the theory of decision making under uncertainty has been extensively studied for a half century, applications to business applications are relatively rare. This study frames a systematic risk analysis and applies the technique to the finances of private colleges and universities. It begins by constructing budgets for colleges and universities and then analyzes the major economic factors affecting those budgets. It estimates the variability (or unpredictability) associated with each major external variable from historical data and from economic forecasts. The study finds that government-spending risks outweigh all other external stock market, interest rates, inflation, and wage trends. The paper …
