Homework Insights: Benefits, Problems, And Recommendations, Carol Plotz Bradfield
Homework Insights: Benefits, Problems, And Recommendations, Carol Plotz Bradfield
Graduate Research Papers
"Do your homework now. Then you can play outside." Parents have used this expression time and time again. Homework is as the word says. It is work performed at home. Homework has become a dirty word for most children. It has been a daily event since schools came into being and many systems have required that their teachers make use of homework. For the first 18 years of life, perhaps about half of the waking time, a student is potentially educative. if one hundred, eighty 6-hour school days for twelve years are assumed, then 16.4% of the potentially educative time …
Nonliteral Comprehension, Janice J. Bolger
Nonliteral Comprehension, Janice J. Bolger
Graduate Research Papers
There is a general concern about the reading and thinking abilities of today's youth. Of special concern are students' abilities to make inferences about what they read. Recent data show that students' basic reading skills have generally improved or have remained stable during the 1970s, but the inferential comprehension of 13- and 17-year-olds has dropped. This, study focuses on nonliteral comprehension. Specifically, this study describes how researchers have defined nonliteral comprehension and ways the nonliteral comprehension of children might be improved.
Case Study For Student Advisement Centers, Donald Ray Elmore
Case Study For Student Advisement Centers, Donald Ray Elmore
Graduate Research Papers
The growing complexity of institutions of higher education, the threat of declining enrollments, and the greater diversity of student populations entering colleges and universities have sparked a renewed interest in academic advising. Advising programs are no longer viewed as a set of scheduling procedures, but are now becoming involved in the development of the students' total potential (Abel, 1980).
Counseling The Elderly With Drug Abuse Problems, Helen Juanita Hadley
Counseling The Elderly With Drug Abuse Problems, Helen Juanita Hadley
Graduate Research Papers
The elderly population is especially subject to adverse drug reactions and interactions since drugs are such an integral part of their life-style (Allen, 1980). As people age, an increasing number sustain chronic conditions and become dependent on drugs in the performance of their daily activities. Whether these drugs are physician-prescribed or self-prescribed OTC (over-the-counter) drugs, there are problems of noncompliance, misuse, and abuse (Krupka & Vener, 1979).
A Historical Analysis Of The Characteristics Of The Effective School Administrator, Ali Salih Khamis
A Historical Analysis Of The Characteristics Of The Effective School Administrator, Ali Salih Khamis
Graduate Research Papers
Technology is constantly changing society as well as having a great influence on schools and education. Therefore the development of school leaders is needed to assist education in these changes. It is not easy to determine the procedures for selecting effective school administrators. In recent years there has been tremendous emphasis on improving those procedures including the adoption of psychological tests and "team ratings". The problem is how to choose those persons who possess the essential characteristics to be potential effective school administrators. There is no clear cut way for individuals interviewing candidates to select those best qualified to lead …
Psychotropic Drugs As Impediments To Effective Counseling, Lois Jeanne Mayne
Psychotropic Drugs As Impediments To Effective Counseling, Lois Jeanne Mayne
Graduate Research Papers
While psychotropic drugs have proven useful in the treatment of a variety of psychological and behavioral disturbances, they simultaneously hinder the counseling process (Matorin and DeChillo 1984). There are so many possible drug side effects that it is increasingly difficult for a counselor to record accurate case notes on a client who is exhibiting drug induced psychological or medical conditions. Matorin and DeChillo (1984) recommended that the professional counselor, the attending physician and the client, if possible, meet to discuss the potential drug side effects thus assuring that the overall functioning of the client is taken into account. When assessing …
Developing A Framework For Effective Discipline, Allan Ray Billings
Developing A Framework For Effective Discipline, Allan Ray Billings
Graduate Research Papers
The single most important responsibility of the principal is in effectively performing his or her role as an instructional leader. The relationship between strong instructional leadership and effective schools has been well documented and most principals desire to devote a majority of their time in activity related to that role (Byrne, Hines, & McCleary, 1978; Hager & Scarr, 1983; Huddle, 1984; Kimball, 1984).
Programs For Improving The Academic Achievement Of The Marginal Student, David Joel Ziesmer
Programs For Improving The Academic Achievement Of The Marginal Student, David Joel Ziesmer
Graduate Research Papers
Education in America derives from a society that honors success, competition, and achievement. With these components being emphasized in schools there is an unavoidable consequence. 3 A group of students will see themselves or be perceived by others, as losers (Wehlage, 1983). The secondary educational system refers to these students as underachievers, non-achievers, disadvantaged, undermotivated, disaffected, school-alienated, at-risk for failure, and marginal.
An Overview Of Stressors Common To Stepchildren And Appropriate Counseling Interventions, Barbara Marilyn Wildung Kramer
An Overview Of Stressors Common To Stepchildren And Appropriate Counseling Interventions, Barbara Marilyn Wildung Kramer
Graduate Research Papers
Despite the recent research on the effects of divorce on adults and children, much less attention has been given to the effects of parental remarriage and stepfamily issues (Prosen & Farmer, 1982). With an estimated one-half million adults becoming stepparents every year and one out of every six American children under the age of eighteen living in a stepfamily, stepfamilies could be more prevalent than nuclear families by 1990 (Prosen & Farmer, 1982; Visher & Visher, 1979).
A Review Of Selected Neurochemical And Cognitive Hypotheses Of Depression, Kenneth Edward Klingman
A Review Of Selected Neurochemical And Cognitive Hypotheses Of Depression, Kenneth Edward Klingman
Graduate Research Papers
According to the American Psychiatric Association (1980), the characteristic traits of depression are quite well established. Symptoms include dysphoric mood, insomnia, psychomotor agitation or retardation, loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, loss of energy and fatigue, feelings of worthlessness, diminished ability to think or concentrate, and thoughts of death or suicidal ideation/attempt. Depressed persons also have been characterized as self-deprecating and unrealistically pessimistic as well as suffering from distorted cognitive processes (Coyne & Gotlib, 1983). The only essential criterion for a diagnosis of major depression is that the syndrome be present for at least two weeks (Willner, 1985).
Attracting, Rewarding, And Keeping Quality Teachers, David Michael Heeney
Attracting, Rewarding, And Keeping Quality Teachers, David Michael Heeney
Graduate Research Papers
The quality of American education was severely questioned in A Nation at Risk, released by the National Commission on Excellence in Education in 1983. Approximately 30 national reports concerned with educational reform have been published in recent years and nearly all have had one thing in common: the belief that excellence must be rediscovered and returned to our American schools. Cross (1984) pointed out that the 50 states had commissioned almost 300 task forces and had sent them out in search of excellence.
Prolonged Unemployment: The Reality And Responses, David C. Nethercott
Prolonged Unemployment: The Reality And Responses, David C. Nethercott
Graduate Research Papers
Prolonged unemployment is a profound social problem as evidenced by a rise in the suicide rate, mental hospital admissions, prison terms, homicides, and health related 1 deaths which appear in statistics several years later (Reigle, 1982). Roberts (1985) described the problem bluntly when she wrote, "unemployment is a killer" (p. 169). Shifron, Dye, and Shifron (1983) reported disturbing statistics that show an estimated 15 million Americans to be "hidden unemployed" or "discouraged workers", those who have given up on finding a job and no longer appear in labor statistics. Hidden unemployment in this article means simply 'not counted' in labor …
Children Of Alcoholics: A Review Of The Literature, Carol A. Tjaden
Children Of Alcoholics: A Review Of The Literature, Carol A. Tjaden
Graduate Research Papers
There are twenty-eight to thirty-four million children of alcoholics in the United States (Black, 1981; Edwards and Zander, 1985). Of these, twelve to fifteen million are currently living in alcoholic homes (Black, 1982). Children of alcoholics are three to four times more likely to become alcoholics themselves and half will marry an alcoholic (Parker, 1986). Studies have shown that alcoholism is involved in up to ninety percent of child abuse and neglect cases (Newlon and Furrow, 1986). Alcoholism is seen, then, as a source of distress for millions of Americans and a major problem facing society today. Children of alcoholics …
Alcoholism: Family As The Identified Patient, Patricia Ann Tomson
Alcoholism: Family As The Identified Patient, Patricia Ann Tomson
Graduate Research Papers
Alcoholism or chemical dependency is a disease that is chronic, primary, progressive, and fatal. The progression of the disease can be arrested but not cured (Johnson, 1973). There are over ten million .adult drinkers in the United states that are problem drinkers (United States Department of Health, 1980). Therefore alcoholism is a major health problem in the United states today.
Child And Adolescent Suicide: A Perspective For The Elementary School Guidance Counselor, Gene Albert Schultz
Child And Adolescent Suicide: A Perspective For The Elementary School Guidance Counselor, Gene Albert Schultz
Graduate Research Papers
The elementary school guidance counselor is in a unique position to assist in the identification of young people who are at-risk or potential suicide casualties. The counselor can enhance this identification by alerting the school population (administrators, teachers, staff, and students) to the dynamics of suicide among young people (Deykin, 1984). Suicide implies a total turning away from life itself showing the inability or refusal to accept the terms of human development, both physically and emotionally (Maris, 1981 ). The elementary counselor must be aware of suicide not only from its tragic consequences but from the standpoint of positive prevention. …
The Use And Implementation Of Microcomputers In Secondary Administration, Kevin Crawford
The Use And Implementation Of Microcomputers In Secondary Administration, Kevin Crawford
Graduate Research Papers
The growth of computers since 1975 has been remarkable. Throughout. the country, computer stores are opening their doors to a public that is realizing the many uses of computers in homes, businesses, and schools. Computer technology has been available for many years, but it has only been since the availabilty of relatively inexpensive microcomputers that elementary and secondary schools could afford the educational advancement. National and state commissions on education recommended that computers become a part of the school curriculum. Boards of education have purchased computers to place in schools. Private industry has joined the computer movement in schools by …
Educating The American Indian/Alaska Native, Randy Kent Hawk
Educating The American Indian/Alaska Native, Randy Kent Hawk
Graduate Research Papers
American Indian/Alaska Native education has been a concern addressed primarily by American Indian/Alaska Native educators, parents, and interested citizens. Their concern has not yet made a major impact on the American educational system. It has surfaced largely in areas that are directly associated with American Indian/Alaska Native schools and communities. With nearly 70 percent of the American Indian/Alaska Native youth being currently educated in public schools, it is imperative that these concerns be recognized and addressed by the Non-Indian world as well (National Education Association, [NEA], 1983).
In Search Of America's Missing Children, Karen Saunders Hanson
In Search Of America's Missing Children, Karen Saunders Hanson
Graduate Research Papers
It has been called a "National Tragedy". It can happen in the park, at the beach, near the church, at the supermarket, at the playground, on the street in front of the house. One moment the child is there: the next moment gone. Short of death itself what could be more shocking to a family than having to report a child missing? Yet it happens to tens of thousands of parents each year. Because children can not look out for themselves, it is our responsibility to look out for them.
Physical Attractiveness Perceptions: Effect On The Counselor / Client Relationship, Georgia Rose Keenan
Physical Attractiveness Perceptions: Effect On The Counselor / Client Relationship, Georgia Rose Keenan
Graduate Research Papers
The concept of physical attractiveness appears to be an important dynamic of human existence (Barocas & Vance, 1974; Berscheid & Walster, 1972; Corrigan, Dell, Lewis, & Schimidt, 1980; Pogrebin, 1983; Ponzo, 1985). In the United States, billions of dollars are spent each year for cosmetic aids to improve appearance and societal acceptance (Pogrebin, 1983). "We live in a society that spends millions more on looks than on education or social services, yet we are oblivious to the impact of these priorities on the economic and emotional texture of our lives" (Pogrebin, 1983). Ponzo (1985) stated that as a society we …
Sex Role Inequality And Marital Stress, Joyce A. Thomas
Sex Role Inequality And Marital Stress, Joyce A. Thomas
Graduate Research Papers
As the once clear definitions of marital roles become increasingly blurred by the new options available to women and as the incidence of divorce continues to rise, the relationship between sex role behavior and marital dissatisfaction has become an area of mounting concern. Many women today who find themselves in more traditional type marital roles are beginning to question if, in fact, their unequal role status within their marriage is truly satisfying.
Profile Of The Incestuous Father, Cheryl Ann Walters
Profile Of The Incestuous Father, Cheryl Ann Walters
Graduate Research Papers
Incest, defined by Taylor (1984) as " ... the sexual touching between an adult and a child in a family for the personal gratification of the adult", is a serious problem in the United States (p. 195). In particular, father-daughter incest has been seen by counselors and therapists as a more frequently reported problem (Finkelhor, 1984). Finkelhor's (1978) survey results stated that at least 5 women out of every 1000 had been sexually abused by their fathers. However, a more recent study by Russell (1984) reported that 1 out of 44 women had incestuous relationships with their biological fathers.

Graduate Research Papers
The purpose of this study was to examine the literature which deals with various student development programs which have been implemented in residence halls and the effects such programs have had on students' development. Specifically, the following questions were addressed: 1. What types of programs have been implemented in residence halls that utilize Student Development concepts? 2. Have these programs enhanced the educational growth of students?
An Analysis Of Using Teacher Colleagues In The Evaluation Process Of Faculty, Gary David Schwartz
An Analysis Of Using Teacher Colleagues In The Evaluation Process Of Faculty, Gary David Schwartz
Graduate Research Papers
Teachers have often been frustrated with the typical evaluation process that has an administrator doing the perfunctory, routine, bureaucratic requirements of assessing teachers once or twice a year (Rothberg, 1979; Wise & Darling-Hammond, 1985). Singh (1984) has claimed "some educators have charged that the existing ratings and written evaluations are of limited use in offering supervisory help to teachers for the improvement of instruction" (p. 73). Our nation, in the early days of American education, had practiced peer evaluation when the master teacher exercised evaluation responsibility over his colleagues (Ban & Soudah, 1978). As the public school system expanded and …
Countertransference In Counseling The Terminally Ill Client, Sharon Carpenter Curtis
Countertransference In Counseling The Terminally Ill Client, Sharon Carpenter Curtis
Graduate Research Papers
According to many authorities, probably the most universally shared human fears are those surrounding death (Clarke, 1981; Kubler-Ross, 1969; Momeyer, 1985). In counseling 11 life-threatened11 or dying clients, there is an urgent need for empathy and transparency on the part of the counselor. Ideally, it is essential for counselors to resolve as much as possible their own conflicts concerning "death issues" so that they are more able to help clients work through their own unresolved conflicts concerning the impending death.
Cognitive Therapy As A Treatment Technique Of Depression, Kathleen Moon Jordan
Cognitive Therapy As A Treatment Technique Of Depression, Kathleen Moon Jordan
Graduate Research Papers
A substantial body of research has indicated that the cognitive theory of depression, as well as the use of cognitive therapy in the treatment there of, has experienced widespread acceptance in the psychotherapeutic community. 1 Etiological theories of depression have been diverse, ranging from speculations concerning biochemical deficiencies and hereditary-constitutional deficits and speculation concerning internal psychological factors or subtle disruptions in patterns which travel between the organisms and the environment. Despite this diversity, the observed clinical syndrome has generally been described in strikingly consistent terms. Traditionally considered to be a disorder of affect, most descriptions also specify changes in cognitive, …
The Relationship Between Self Esteem And Substance Abuse In Adolescents, Martha Jill Windahl
The Relationship Between Self Esteem And Substance Abuse In Adolescents, Martha Jill Windahl
Graduate Research Papers
The rates of use of illegal drugs by youth in the United States is higher than in any other industrialized country in the world (Suffia, 1986). In a recent survey (Johnston & O'Malley, 1986) 1,600 high school seniors reported that: 5% used marijuana daily, 17% had tried cocaine (the highest rate ever recorded), 20% had used amphetamines sometime in their lifetimes. Ninety-three percent of all high school seniors surveyed had tried alcohol while 73% reported drinking heavily within two weeks prior to the survey. Although, except for cocaine use, these figures are lower than for previous years, trends, such as …
Picture Books And The Literary Connection: A Bibliography, Susan Hall
Picture Books And The Literary Connection: A Bibliography, Susan Hall
Graduate Research Papers
Both elementary and secondary aged school students are required to recognize and understand various common literary devices that are employed in the fictional literature they read. In order to facilitate this learning process, using appropriate trade picture storybooks combined with traditional textbook literature may better serve to enhance student comprehension of literary devices. An examination of the past five (1980-1985) years of picture storybook reviews from The Horn Book Magazine has revealed that the picture book genre does exhibit a broad spectrum of common literary devices such as satire, analogy, flashback, and metaphor. During a single class session carefully selected …

Graduate Research Papers
All of us are exposed to some form of stress throughout our daily lives. This stress could be experienced in a variety of ways, whether it be from our jobs, interpersonal relationships, insecurities, or other factors that affect us. The resident assistant (RA) is exposed to the same stresses as other college students, as well as the additional stress placed on one who is balancing academic pressures along with the responsibilities of the RA position.
Infertility: A Developmental Crisis Related To Parenting, Barbara Jean Braband
Infertility: A Developmental Crisis Related To Parenting, Barbara Jean Braband
Graduate Research Papers
The crisis of infertility strikes one in six couples of childbearing age. "Infertility, the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of regular sexual relations, or the inability to carry pregnancy to a live birth" (Menning, 1982, p. 155), will be experienced by 15-20% of the population of childbearing ages 22-40 years (Bernstein & Mattox, 1982; Goodman & Rothman, 1984). Infertility was diagnosed as either primary or secondary. According to Bernstein and Mattox (1982) primary infertility occurred if a pregnancy had never been achieved. If a woman had been pregnant at least once, even if that pregnancy resulted in an …

The Effect Of Theory And Clinical Instruction On Freshmen And Senior Nursing Students' Attitudes And Anxieties Toward Death And Dying, Mary K. Brown
Graduate Research Papers
Growing old and dying are aspects of life most people do not care to think about. We tend to deny, avoid and when possible hide death as a means of escaping from it. Nursing educators are drawn into this situation because they must prepare nurses to cope with the many losses that will occur prior to a patient's final physical death. They must also help individuals to deal with the death of loved ones.
