Having Their Say: Parents Of High-Achieving African American Elementary Students Talk About The Home-School Relationship, Donna Mahler

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Having Their Say: Parents of High-Achieving African American Elementary Students Talk About the Home-School Relationship describes a qualitative research study that explored parents' perceptions of their role in education and how these perceptions translate into specific parent involvement practices both at home and at school. It also identifies the concerns that African American parents have about their children's schooling and offers their suggestions for improvement; Twelve parents of African American students identified as "high-achieving" and of varying socioeconomic levels participated in either a focus group discussion or in an individual in-depth interview about parent involvement in education. Epstein's theoretical model …

The Effect Of Participation In An Academic Support Group In Combination With Individual Mentoring Upon At Risk Students Grade Point Average, Robyn Greene Jan 1996

The Effect Of Participation In An Academic Support Group In Combination With Individual Mentoring Upon At Risk Students Grade Point Average, Robyn Greene

Theses

Studies involving the use of small groups as an academic tool have indicated success in the student's academic and social advancement. It is a widely held belief that self-concept or self-esteem is involved centrally in the learning process either as a contributing cause or an important outcome (O'Dell, Rak, Chermont, & Hamlin; 1994). According to systems theorists the implementation of group intervention will allow an increase of self-concept which constitutes a first order change (Bateson, 1972; Watzlwick, Weakland & Fisch, 197 4; Beckvar & Beckvar, 1991). Students who participate in an academic support group which results in an increased grade …

The Effect Of Assessment Procedures On Student Learning Outcomes In Religious Education In One Catholic Secondary School In Western Australia, Philip F. Cox

Theses: Doctorates and Masters

This study investigates the effect of utilising formal assessment procedures on student learning in the religious education classroom. There is a debate in the religious education literature concerning the place of assessment in religious education. This debate is reflected in the divisions that occur amongst teachers of religious education in Catholic schools. The debate has been polarised with an uncertain group being left between the two extremes. Teachers of religious education in Catholic schools are uncertain as to the best teaching methodology to utilise. This thesis outlines the philosophical arguments concerning the place of assessment in religious education in Catholic …

The Disparate Treatment Of Student And Family Farmer Debtors: Suggestions For Statutory Reform Of Bankruptcy Policy, Nancy H. Kratzke, Thomas O. Depperschmidt Nov 1995

The Disparate Treatment Of Student And Family Farmer Debtors: Suggestions For Statutory Reform Of Bankruptcy Policy, Nancy H. Kratzke, Thomas O. Depperschmidt

Northern Illinois University Law Review

The resolution of bankruptcy litigation involving individuals under the governmental student loan programs and family farmers under Chapter 12 of the Bankruptcy Code provides an intriguing insight into congressional policy. That divergence is especially prominent in the treatment of "disposable income" under these two statutory provisions. When deciding issues relating to whether income should go to unsecured creditors or be used to offset future farming costs, courts tend to interpret the Code in favor of debtors; conversely, the Code creates, and courts perpetuate through their rulings, a clear presumption against discharging student loan obligations. The debtor will prevail only if …

The Student Movement At Old Dominion: 1964-1970, Patrick Joseph Pané Apr 1995

The Student Movement At Old Dominion: 1964-1970, Patrick Joseph Pané

History Theses & Dissertations

Old Dominion College, located in Norfolk, Virginia, experienced student unrest during the 1960s. Students at Old Dominion, like their counterparts throughout the country, challenged the university's authority and protested the war in Vietnam. This thesis will examine the student movement at Old Dominion College (which became Old Dominion University in 1969) from 1964 to 1970 and how the reactions of presidents Lewis W. Webb, Jr. and James L. Bugg, Jr. influenced student protest from 1964 to 1970. Lewis Webb, chief executive of the college from 1946-1969, tried to limit the movement's impact on campus. His policies resulted in conflicts over …
