In recent years much attention has been given to the application of computer technology to psychometric methods, but researchers have concentrated on adapting traditional methods of psychological testing to the new technology instead of utilizing it to develop innovative methods of assessment. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a computerized assessment battery designed to evaluate cognitive functioning and attention could demonstrate reliability and validity. The Computerized Cognitive Assessment Battery (CCAB) was developed according to the PASS Model of Cognitive Functioning and administered via a Macintosh computer and test results included response style variables (mouse movement and response …

Efficacy Of A Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment Approach In Improving Academic Performance Of Low-Achieving Elementary-Age Children, John Brian Markey
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Low-achieving students tend to be "externals," lack mastery orientation, and often do not "take responsibility" for learning. Through the cognitive behavioral approach in this study, the goal is to help the low achiever become better at self-monitoring and encoding information.;Low-achieving students from two elementary schools were pre- and posttested using the Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test (to measure reading achievement), Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (to measure self-esteem), and the Children's Academic Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (to measure intrinsic motivation). The teachers completed, as both a pre and post measure, the Devereux Elementary School Behavior Rating Scale II to measure student classroom behavior. Thirty …

A Descriptive Investigation Utilizing A Family Systems Perspective To Study Elementary School Children Who Frequently Become Seekers Of Nurse Support (S.O.N.S.) And Their Families, David Bruce. Fletcher
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
It has been accepted that in order to maximize the educational growth of a child, the student should experience instruction in a consistent, uninterrupted fashion. Children who are disruptive, act-out, or otherwise obstruct the flow of knowledge may encounter problems when they must build upon information not learned at an earlier time. Students who frequently complain to their teachers of health issues or are sent to the nurse repeatedly, may suffer because of this break in their learning experiences. This research is directed toward exploring possible variables that may set children who frequent the nurse (Seekers of Nurse Support or …

Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of An Instructional Strategy To Teach Selected Problem-Solving Skills To Nursing Students, Rebecca Baum Rice
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
The purpose of this research was to determine if selected problem-solving skills of freshmen nursing students in an associate-degree nursing program could be enhanced by an instructional strategy that combined simulated patient encounters with two types of feedback obtained from experienced nurses. The skills were: (1) the detection, encoding, and retrieval of cues and (2) the generation of tentative problem formulations. Six videotaped simulations of nurse-patient encounters were shown to a group of experienced nurses, who were asked to write tentative problem formulations with relevant cues and summarizing assessments of the situations. Data of the nurses' information processing activities while …
The Use And Effect Of Puppetry And Bibliotherapy In Group Counseling With Children Of Divorced Parents, Kenneth Paul Bunting
The Use And Effect Of Puppetry And Bibliotherapy In Group Counseling With Children Of Divorced Parents, Kenneth Paul Bunting
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
For many years, the technique of puppetry has been successfully utilized within child counseling programs (Jenkins and Beckh, 1942) (Grant, 1950) (Koenig, 1951) (Dinkmeyer and Caldwell, 1970). Only recently the use of puppets was popularized by the introduction of the DUSO program (Dinkmeyer 1970, 1973). In fact, puppetry was cited as a potentially invaluable intervention strategy to facilitate affective educational programs to help stimulate young children to explore their feelings. However, little experimental evidence was gleaned from the literature to support the efficacy of the puppetry techniques (Strage, 1979) (Zingle, 1972) (Buffalo Public School System Project, 1975). Only testimonial and …

Rosenman and Friedman were pioneers in the discovery that a certain pattern of behaviors may be associated with the risk of heart disease. They designated these psychological factors as Type A behavior pattern and the absence of these factors as Type B behavior pattern.;Several behavioral techniques have been used to modify the Type A behavior pattern. It has been suggested that Type A individuals may need different types of intervention due to the educational, …
