The Portrayal Of Single-Parent Families In Young Adult Fiction, Elaine M. Reicks

Hypotheses dealt with the status of single-parent units and the effect on the parent and the child in making the adjustment to the new family structure. Six of the hypotheses were accepted; seven were rejected. The researcher concluded that young adult fiction was realistically portraying the status of single-adoptive units, the single parent's financial stress and problems in household management, as well as the adolescent's …

Performances At An Aids Memorial Quilt Display: An Ethnographic Study Of Rehearsal, Joyce Anne Flodin Jan 1990

Performances At An Aids Memorial Quilt Display: An Ethnographic Study Of Rehearsal, Joyce Anne Flodin

Graduate Research Papers

Several tentative research questions posed early in the study focused on the audience. The study of audience was later abandoned because it would not have been feasible for one researcher to conduct analyses of audiences while also observing performers. A study of these audiences would have been interesting because these were not a typical audience coming to a theatre for entertainment. These audiences were emotionally tied to the topic of the texts. Most of the audience members were highly knowledgeable about AIDS and related issues. The only audience analyses in this study were the directors' and performers' impressions of audience …

The English Evangelical Revival Of The Eighteenth Century, Aaron T. Bicknese Jan 1990

The English Evangelical Revival Of The Eighteenth Century, Aaron T. Bicknese

Presidential Scholars Theses (1990 – 2006)

The philosophy of deism cannot be ignored for taking a considerable toll on preaching. Great efforts had been made to make Christianity "reasonable," and in the process, revelation was rejected as a possibility for the origin of the Christian faith. Deists discounted beliefs such as Christ's being God incarnate, claiming that such beliefs were added over the years by superstitious clergy. As John Harrison remarks, the Church of England did "virtually nothing" to stem the spread of the deistic philosophy. Rather, many churchmen became deeply influenced by it.

Use Of Storytelling By Iowa Elementary Library Media Specialists, Frances E. Lachance

Graduate Research Papers

Seventy-five percent of 41 randomly selected Iowa public school library media specialists who answered a storytelling questionnaire in November, 1990, indicated that they used one or more storytelling activities with students in grades prekindergarten to six. Eleven of the 12 storytelling activities were used more with students in grades three or below than they were with students in grades four to six.
