Home/School/Community Factors Which Compete With Time High School Students Spend On Homework, John A. Sadler
Home/School/Community Factors Which Compete With Time High School Students Spend On Homework, John A. Sadler
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Home/school/community factors of student jobs, extracurricular activities, church activities, community activities, family activities, and television watching were examined to determine the relationship between these factors and the time students spent on homework. Two hundred forty-seven high school students were used as subjects. A student time log and questionnaire were developed and used to collect the data. Eight students were closely examined through case studies. When time spent on homework was correlated with time spent at a job, the results were strongly negative (r = -.89). Time spent on homework was moderately correlated (r= + .46) with time …
Effects Of Knowledge Of Accountability In Mastery Learning Programs On Academic Achievement, Goal Setting Characteristics, And Locus-Of-Control Orientation, Donn C. Ritchie
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
During the past quarter century, over 1000 articles have documented changes in student behaviors related to participation in mastery learning programs. Although the results have been generally positive, a debate continues as to the cause for increased student performance: Are results due to changes in how students attend to the information, or simply due to increased study time as a result of remediation?
In this study, a videodisc-based program in fractions was used with fifth-grade students. The videodisc-based instruction was chosen to help minimize differences in instructional materials, instructional time, and instructional delivery. A pretest-posttest, control-group design was used to …

Validation Of The Use Of The Rapid Speech Transmission Index (Rasti) In Elementary School Classrooms, Aparna Rao
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The aim of this study was to assess the validity of an objective method of speech intelligibility, the Rapid Speech Transmission Index (RASTI), in elementary school classrooms, The RASTI can be obtained more quickly than subjective measures of speech intelligibility and has been shown to be highly valid with adult listeners in auditoriums. In this study RASTI values were correlated with scores on a subjective test of speech intelligibility, the word intelligibility by Picture Identification (WIPI) test, for 45 students in two elementary classrooms (grades 1 through 3 and grade5). Results indicated that the RASTI value is a poor predictor …
Parental Attitudes Toward Using Inventive Spelling With Kindergarten Age Children, Sue Dearden
Parental Attitudes Toward Using Inventive Spelling With Kindergarten Age Children, Sue Dearden
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
Across the United States millions of children are reciting spelling lists, participating in Spelling Bees, and taking spelling tests. In fact, a significant portion of an elementary child's school day is devoted to learning to spell words traditionally or correctly. With such an emphasis being placed on spelling, it is logical to assume spelling traditionally is valued in our society. However, a different philosophy, Whole Language, takes an opposite approach on how writing and spelling should be incorporated in the classroom. Whole Language focuses on children learning to write and read at the same time. The focus is not on …

In one of his educational goals for the nineties, President Bush declared that "By the year 2000, all children in America will start school ready to learn [i.e., in good health, having been read to and otherwise prepared by parents.]" (Elam, 1990, p. 41). By providing this particular goal, the President clearly emphasized the importance of the pre-school years for preparing children for school. Further, Elam interpreted this goal to mean that children must be prepared for school by their parents and that reading to children is one important factor in the child's readiness for learning.

The serger machine, also known as an overlock, has revolutionized home sewing. They are fast, convenient, andd produce a professional seam.

Another plus for sergers is the way they handle all fabrics from difficult to control silks and sheers to easy to handle knits.
