Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
The crises through which the world has passed and the demands for reconstruction to repair the losses caused by World War II, as well as the challenge to democracy, have intensified the recognition of the important part to be played in education. The insights, the skills, and the knowledge that might have enabled citizens to live successfully at the beginning of this century appear to be too inadequate today. Our world has become a complex technological maelstrom of rapid mobility, constant change, and interdependence in which the citizen must acquire certain critical abilities in order to survive. In the past …
The Relationship Of Creativity To Achievement And Other Student Variables., Woodrow G. Mayhon
The Relationship Of Creativity To Achievement And Other Student Variables., Woodrow G. Mayhon
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
From Chapter 1:
The definition of giftedness solely in terms of high IQ has never seemed satisfactory, but in spite of the apparent inadequacy of the IQ metric, the practice during this century has been to regard the intelligence score as representative summary of the full range of primary mental abilities and cognitive
processes that an individual is capable of exhibiting. This practice has been challenged sporadically ever since the inception of mental abilities tests, most often on the grounds that this concept of excellence binds us to a single form of cognitive giftedness, the high IQ
Such a restricted …

A Teacher Opinion Study Of Grouping In Classroom Organization., Florian Perea
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
Conscientious and devoted teachers have for years been aware of the problem that grouping poses in classroom organization. For years they have known that in order to reach every pupil in their classroom something must be done. Teachers have constantly sought for proficiency of technique and methodology that would enable them to provide more adequately for the needs of school children. They have attended institutions of higher learning where they might obtain the knowledge of the latest explorations in the field. The recommended methodology has changed from one technique to another. Wilhelms and Gibson (1961, pp. 410-411) remind us that …

The following principles were included: (a) relation of an unfamiliar experience to one already within the cognitive structure, (b) analysis and …

A Study Of The Extent To Which Further Consolidation Is Feasible And Desirable Within Selected County School Districts In Utah, Walter D. Talbot
A Study Of The Extent To Which Further Consolidation Is Feasible And Desirable Within Selected County School Districts In Utah, Walter D. Talbot
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Under the mandator consolidation act of 1915, the county-unit school district in Utah had its beginning (10). Although, through this consolidation movement, many small school districts were combined into larger ones, the elimination of the small districts did not, necessarily, provide for the elimination of the small schools. Due to several factors including distance, poor communication and transportation facilities, and a strong desire on the part of the people who lived in small communities for a voice in school matters, the consolidation of school attendance areas did not keep pace with school district reorganization.
With the improvement of highways and …

A Character Study Of Teachers As They Appear In American Fiction In 1900, Carol E. Alalouf
A Character Study Of Teachers As They Appear In American Fiction In 1900, Carol E. Alalouf
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
The advent of the twentieth century brought with it an increased concern about education, curricula, teachers, and the approaches used in the classroom by teachers. A history of American education could be written in terms of "movements" and "emphases." During the course of each movement, its advocates were likely to become over-enthusiastic about some teaching device, method, or technique. Somehow, the impression would be created that they found the answers to all significant educational problems. In recent years, many people have felt that the teacher and his abilities are not enough to impart knowledge to the students. Teaching devices, visual …

Factors Associated With Achievement, Marilyn R. Larsen
Factors Associated With Achievement, Marilyn R. Larsen
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
All students, regardless of their intellectual endowment, need to be led to achieve as highly as they are able. As Allport (1955) pointed out, there are upper limits to possibilities of growth, but these limits are movable by breadth of education. Stretching toward the limit and then raising the limit are necessary activities at every level of potential and accomplishment. The individual learner does most of the work involved, but teachers and parents assist. Is there a set of behaviors or traits unique to those children who rise above their supposed limits in school achievement, a pattern of growth into …
