An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Visual Perceptual Abilities And Reading Achievement, Dale L. Melada
An Investigation Of The Relationship Between Visual Perceptual Abilities And Reading Achievement, Dale L. Melada
Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs
It has long been recognized that reading problems may be of multiple causation. Some research studies have shown that certain visual perceptual abilities are related to success in early school learning and in beginning reading, but present tests commonly used do not point out strengths, weaknesses, or individual differences in visual perception among "normal children." The high percentage of children with reading disabilities, and children, boys especially, whose reading is not commensurate with their abilities warrants the need for the study presented. The purpose of the study was two-fold. Its first intention was to evaluate two visual perceptual tests, the …

A Discriminative Study Of Boys’ Physical Education In High Schools Of The Big Eight Athletic Conference, Burdon R. Daugherty
A Discriminative Study Of Boys’ Physical Education In High Schools Of The Big Eight Athletic Conference, Burdon R. Daugherty
All Master's Theses
As in any other part of the curriculum, physical education requires equipment, facilities, and personnel in order to help assure a successful program. The degree of attainment of this success will be shown by the opinions of those whose judgments are considered valid. In contrast with this will be the performance capabilities of the students who take part in the program in terms of physical fitness performance, physical fitness knowledge, and neuromuscular skills. Finally, attitudes about physical education are also held to be important and should also be judged.
