Bereavement And Sexual Functioning, Janette Serra-Stanford
Bereavement And Sexual Functioning, Janette Serra-Stanford
Graduate Research Papers
"With the death of a husband, you lose your present; with the death of a parent the past; but with the death of a child you lose your future" (Linzer, 1977, p. 11). There is no more devastating experience for parents than the death of their child. The impact of a child's death is profound because the parent-child relationship is generally regarded as the most reciprocally intense interpersonal relationship (Parker, 1979). A parent's grief is often inconsolable and never ending.
A Journey Into Christian Marriage Preparation, Paul Eldon Lippstock
A Journey Into Christian Marriage Preparation, Paul Eldon Lippstock
Graduate Research Papers
In 1981 the pastor of the Christian Community of St. Patrick in Cedar Falls, Iowa, requested one of the associate pastors to meet with several married couples in the parish and put together a process for marriage preparation within the parish community. Working closely l with the parish staff of the Christian Community of St. Patrick, the associate pastor and four (later reduced to three because one couple moved away) married couples began to meet regularly over a period of fifteen months. Together they constructed a marriage preparation program which included six months of preparation before marriage and twelve months …

What Are The Perceived Career, Educational And Personal Needs Of Secondary Students By Grade Level?, Steven Charles Bicknase
Graduate Research Papers
As the world has become increasingly more complex in the 20th century, the demands and pressures placed on individual societal members has risen significantly. Schools, as the primary societal agents responsible for the educational development of our youth, have experienced increasing pressures relative to preparing students for adulthood. Once primarily concerned with academic learning, schools have become increasingly aware of student needs beyond the areas of classroom learning. The inception of school guidance and counseling programs is evidence of the commitment of schools to meeting the career, educational and personal needs of students, particularly at the junior and senior high …
Chemical Dependency And Rational-Emotive Therapy, David Charles Towle
Chemical Dependency And Rational-Emotive Therapy, David Charles Towle
Graduate Research Papers
Chemical dependency is a major health problem in the United States ranking third among major health problems and surpassed only by cancer and heart disease. The social costs associated with chemical dependency are estimated to be over $40 billion annually. These social costs are reflected by such factors as lost job productivity, the medical costs of treating alcohol and drug related illnesses and injuries, the property damages and 25,000 lives lost per year to intoxicated drivers, and the cost of administering justice to those who are arrested and convicted of chemical abuse related offenses (Zimberg, 1982).
The Effects Of Self-Concept On The Academic Achievement On Elementary School Children, Michael Woodall
The Effects Of Self-Concept On The Academic Achievement On Elementary School Children, Michael Woodall
Graduate Research Papers
From the beginning the human is striving for individuality. The development of the self is intrinsic, and in the early months of life a baby is self-centered and perceives the world through senses governed mainly by basic organic needs. All of us, however, at an early age develop a concept of ourselves as a person. Although this perception of one's self as a person may have certain stable factors, it is in continuous development. Teachers should be aware that within us all there is a power to do our own thing and make our own decisions. Students are constantly changing …
A Critical Evaluation Of Rogerian Counseling In Terms Of Its Usefulness In Christian Counseling, James O. Sims
A Critical Evaluation Of Rogerian Counseling In Terms Of Its Usefulness In Christian Counseling, James O. Sims
Graduate Research Papers
Pastoral counseling, in its present condition, is dominated ''almost exclusively by therapeutic psychology, principally by Rogerian counseling" (Aden, 1984, p. 38). Depending on one's perspective, such a charge is either a sign of hope or an omen of doom. Gaylord B. Noyce, professor of pastoral theology at the Yale University divinity school sees it as the latter. He charges that an "exaggerated deference" to the client-centered theory and methodology of Carl Rogers is "undermining the ministry in hundreds of congregations today." "We have taken the immensely helpful, nondirective Rogerian pattern and made it gospel, not only for wide areas of …

Danger Signals Of Marital Dysfunction, Shelda Jean Hertzke Beener
Graduate Research Papers
As a fundamental social institution, the American Family has elicited research studies by sociologists, psychologists, anthropologists, historians, theologians, political scientists, and economists. Conflicting interpretations and conclusions about the family abound. Even so elementary an expectation as consensus on a definition of family has eluded us.
Counseling American Indian Students, Kathleen Curphy
Counseling American Indian Students, Kathleen Curphy
Graduate Research Papers
American Indians today are in a limbo created by their changing culture. While the traditional ways are still being taught in the home, white middle class values are being taught in school. Another factor contributing to this situation is the distorted image of the Indian which is sometimes projected by white writers and the mass media. The image of the American Indian today is that of a stoic, long-suffering, proud, warlike, lazy, drunken individual on the government dole. Indians have maintained their proud heritage, but they deal daily with their distorted image.
Merit Pay: Problems And Possibilities, Jim Ford
Merit Pay: Problems And Possibilities, Jim Ford
Graduate Research Papers
There has been a great deal of discussion recently concerning salary schedules for teachers based on merit pay. Effective teachers are more valuable to an educational program than ineffective teachers and deserve to be paid more for their services. But by what criteria and by whose standards should such merit be based? Can a merit pay plan be carried out objectively and fairly? If so, how? Who should evaluate a teacher for salary purposes? How many teachers in the school system should receive merit pay and how much should they be paid?
The Development And Effects Of "Program Sharing" At The Corwith-Wesley And Luverne Community School, Gary Stumberg
The Development And Effects Of "Program Sharing" At The Corwith-Wesley And Luverne Community School, Gary Stumberg
Graduate Research Papers
Many schools across the country have experienced serious problems over the past few years. Many of those problems have their roots in the relationship between student numbers and the financial resourses [sic] used to support educational programs. Declining enrollments have produced deficits in school funding which have pushed many schools beyond the brink of survival. Smaller student enrollments have caused many schools to alter or reduce curriculum offerings and to reduce school personnel. The ever increasing costs of textbooks, educational materials, transportation, and utilities have magnified the financial burdens faced by schools. These problems have resulted in lessened opportunities for …
Instructional Objectives Affects On Elementary Students' Career Awareness, Timothy L. Houts
Instructional Objectives Affects On Elementary Students' Career Awareness, Timothy L. Houts
Graduate Research Papers
It has been shown through current research findings that instructional objectives do help enhance learning. For example, reviews on incidental and intentional learning (Duchastel and Merrill, 1973) and l on mastery learning (Block, 1971) suggest that students are more likely to achieve clearly stated goals and instructional objectives than ambiguous or unknown ones. It would follow that career education concepts would be mastered at a better rate when career education instructional objectives are used. This study attempts to answer this question.

A Survey Of The Criteria For The Admission Of Minority Students To Iowa Colleges And Universities With Special Emphasis On The University Of Northern Iowa Freshman Class Entering In 1979, Phyllis Wyatt-Woodruff
A Survey Of The Criteria For The Admission Of Minority Students To Iowa Colleges And Universities With Special Emphasis On The University Of Northern Iowa Freshman Class Entering In 1979, Phyllis Wyatt-Woodruff
Graduate Research Papers
Prior to 1954, when Brown vs the Board of Education irreversibly changed the hue of the nation's schools from "colored and white" to "integrated," there was no need for special admission criteria for minority students. Due to prejudice and high tuition costs, less than 1% of Black students attended white colleges. Those who did attend white colleges were admitted under traditional admissions criteria (Thomas, 1981).
Parental Expectations Of The Secondary School Counselor, Kurt Everett Harthoorn
Parental Expectations Of The Secondary School Counselor, Kurt Everett Harthoorn
Graduate Research Papers
Many guidance programs are fighting for survival in the sense that we now know them. Budget cuts have forced reassignment of counselors to classroom teaching. Some counselors have had their time divided among neighboring school districts on a part-time basis. These moves may be expected to result in a loss of counseling effectiveness. It is unlikely a program can accomplish in half the time, all that it once accomplished on a full-time basis. Less time might result in less productivity, and before long, the necessity of the program could be questioned because of its apparent lack of production.
Problems Of Special Education Multidisciplinary Teams: Implications For Counselor Intervention, Marilyn Lindholm Kinne
Problems Of Special Education Multidisciplinary Teams: Implications For Counselor Intervention, Marilyn Lindholm Kinne
Graduate Research Papers
In 1975 Congress passed into law the Education for All Handicapped Children Act, Public Law (P.L.) 94-142. This law went into effect in September 1977. The intent of the law was to serve handicapped children whose needs were not fully met or were completely denied (Weintrab, 1976). The law had four major purposes (Ballard, 1978): .Guarantee the availability of special education programming to handicapped children and youth who require it . • Assure fairness and appropriateness in decision making about providing special education to handicapped children and youth • • Establish clear management and auditing requirements and procedures regarding special …
Media And Communication Considerations To Influence The Buying Decisions Of Farmers, Joel C. Geske
Media And Communication Considerations To Influence The Buying Decisions Of Farmers, Joel C. Geske
Graduate Research Papers
The agricultural market is an extremely large and extremely important segment of our economy. Agriculture, and the support services provided to agriculture, account for a $1.2 trillion market. This figure is roughly equal to ALL the assets of the Fortune 500 companies combined (Wefald, 1982). Because of the size of this market, it is important, as marketers, to understand the farmer, his media habits and his buying habits. It is important to know what factors carry the most weight when the farmer's decision making process gets underway. It is essential to know how to reach the farmer in each of …
A Comparison Of The Effects Of Middle School Grade Organization On Student Attitudes, Mary Estep
A Comparison Of The Effects Of Middle School Grade Organization On Student Attitudes, Mary Estep
Graduate Research Papers
In 1919, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools defined the junior high school as a school in which grades 7, 8, and 9 were housed in a separate building. The school had its own teaching staff and administrators. By 1920, approximately 400 junior high schools were in existence and the number was growing. By the mid-fifties there were approximately 6,500 junior high schools in the United States. After 40 years of existence, the deficiencies of the junior high school were notable relative to self-concept. In the late 1950s and early 1960s the middle school emerged as an …
Reading Readiness: Definitions And Assessment Circa 1950 And 1980, Sharon Rae Erwin
Reading Readiness: Definitions And Assessment Circa 1950 And 1980, Sharon Rae Erwin
Graduate Research Papers
This review proposes to discover how educators defined reading readiness and what they recommended relative to the cognitive skills assessment of reading readiness in 1950 and 1980. 2 A second purpose is to discover if standardized assessment devices reflect the definitions and recommendations. There is an ever increasing need to know what cognitive skills a child should be equipped with before learning to read. Today's society has increased pressure for academic achievement of elementary children. This pressure has resulted in early introduction of formal reading instruction in first grade and much attention to the reading readiness program in kindergarten (Hoffman …
The Conversion Of A Recreational Camp Into A Residential Environment And Educational Learning Center, Ellen Wells Ernst
The Conversion Of A Recreational Camp Into A Residential Environment And Educational Learning Center, Ellen Wells Ernst
Graduate Research Papers
Educational systems in our country have continually faced the challenge of providing educational opportunities for all our children. As well as maintaining a national goal of high educational standards, we have also encouraged an individualistic approach to meeting needs of students. Our educational systems must deal with an extremely wide range of personalities, beliefs, backgrounds, expectations, incomes and abilities. Teachers have a wealth of information available to help them determine students' individual needs and ways of meeting these needs. Students' needs can vary from cognitive-knowledge and moral-motivational needs to personal-emotional and physical needs. Curricula and programs generally attempt to insure …
The Perceptions Of Teachers Concerning Three Major Causes Of Burnout, Linda Lee
The Perceptions Of Teachers Concerning Three Major Causes Of Burnout, Linda Lee
Graduate Research Papers
Considerable attention has recently been given to the record number of teachers who are choosing to leave the profession. In 1979, National Education Association President Willard H. McGuire stated that "a major new malady has afflicted the teaching profession and threatens to reach epidemic proportions if it isn't checked soon" (p. 5). He was referring to teacher burnout, which has stricken thousands of dedicated teachers and precipitated their desire to leave the teaching profession. One such teacher is former Iowa State Education Association President Ken Pfile, who in February, 1983, handed in his resignation after 16 years of teaching. Mr. …

The Language Experience Approach And Its Possible Implications For The Reading Disabled, Pamela Mueller Leahy
Graduate Research Papers
The Language Experience Approach (LEA) has been around a long time as a supplemental enrichment or reinforcement activity to be utilized occasionally in the traditional phonics or skills approach to teaching reading. with the advent or resurgence, depending on one's philosophy, or the whole language approach supported by Goodman (1972), Stauffer (1968), and van Allen (1967) a new look has been taken at the language experience approach and the contributions it can make in the teaching of reading. The purpose or this paper is to present LEA not only as a supplement but also as a possible viable program option …

Reading In The Content Areas: A Review Of In-Service Approaches And A Personal Experience, Marnell Keas Lyle
Graduate Research Papers
Prior to the 193O's, the function of secondary school reading instruction was to expand upon the basic reading knowledge a student had acquired by concentrating on the literary works. However, by 1937, thinking began to change regarding secondary school participation in the reading skills process and, in particular, the content area teacher's participation in the teaching of reading.
Effect Of Small Group Competition On Seventh Grade Mathematics Achievement, Biff Renner
Effect Of Small Group Competition On Seventh Grade Mathematics Achievement, Biff Renner
Graduate Research Papers
Mathematics is an area which has shown some decline in standardized test scores as well as a shortage in the number of educators graduating in the field. In mathematics, average SAT scores have fallen 40 points since 1963, and a 1981 survey of 45 states revealed a shortage of mathematics teachers in 43 states. This report by the National Commission on Excellence in Education (1983) states that "We are a nation at risk" because of this decline in educational achievement since the early 1960s. This decrease in mathematics achievement is a concern of many educators, including the researcher. What may …

Every year billions of dollars are spent on photographs for the purpose of advertising, portraits, illustrations in magazines and on billboards. The editors are forever searching for the "creative" photo, the one that has a very unique quality about it. It is a very elusive quality, one that is difficult to define, and one that is still more difficult to teach to aspiring photographers.
Four Major Components Of A Behavioral Objective And The Advantage Of Using Behavioral Objectives, Jon Beringer
Four Major Components Of A Behavioral Objective And The Advantage Of Using Behavioral Objectives, Jon Beringer
Graduate Research Papers
Certainly everyone who has ever attended a lecture, seminar, or class has undoubtedly asked themself, what purpose was served by that presentation. Unfortunately, there may also be those times when lecturers have to ask themselves the same question. When this situation occurs the result is a waste of money, resources, time, and human energy. This waste, and many other problems, could be eliminated with the use of well-written behavioral objectives. But there seems to be a resistance to using behavioral objectives by many of those who are involved in message design and instruction. Many reasons exist which tell why message …
A Study Of Support Groups Among Iowa School Counselors, Robert Laurence Huber
A Study Of Support Groups Among Iowa School Counselors, Robert Laurence Huber
Graduate Research Papers
Among the helping professions a common concept is the support group. "The social-professional support system (group) affords members ••• opportunities for analyzing problems they encounter and discussing how they feel about these problems. It provides a structure for support and rewards" (Moracco and McFadden, 1980, p. 63). From a review of the literature it is apparent that many support groups both inside and outside the helping professions have been created and utilized. For instance, outside the school counselor's domain, groups such as the Compassionate Friends, Families Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Smokenders, and Widowed Persons have all served as support groups for …

The Grass Isn't Always Greener: A Comparison Of Programs For The Gifted And Talented, Maryann Beattie
Graduate Research Papers
It seems to be a generally accepted premise that in education an extra effort is needed when teaching exceptional children. In the case of Public Law 94-142, it is federal law that equality of educational opportunity shall be provided in education. As a rule, students on one end of the spectrum 1 (students with learning disabilities, mental retardation, or emotional disturbance)have well defined services, well qualified personnel and these personnel practice well-delineated procedures. If we govern our behavior within the context of the principles of Fairness and Balance, then it would be good to provide an equality of services for …
Decreasing Debilitating Test Anxiety In Elementary Remedial Readers, H. Marlene Watson
Decreasing Debilitating Test Anxiety In Elementary Remedial Readers, H. Marlene Watson
Graduate Research Papers
Diagnosis is an integral part of the remedial reading program. It gives direction, facilitates decisions, and provides a basis for choosing instructional techniques and materials. It is a complicated process of choosing what information is appropriate, what decisions are to be made, and what methods can best implement these decisions. In short, diagnosis is a comprehensive process necessary to reading instruction. In fact, as its best, it is a type of instruction known as diagnostic teaching. One factor in this process of diagnosis is assessment (Peters,1977).
The Effects Of Student Financial Aids On Persistence, Attrition, And Academic Achievement, Elaine Robinson
The Effects Of Student Financial Aids On Persistence, Attrition, And Academic Achievement, Elaine Robinson
Graduate Research Papers
Student retention and attrition have been familiar topics in institutions of higher education for years. Thirty percent of entering freshmen left their original institution during the first year, another twenty percent left during the second year, and twenty percent left during the third year, resulting in a cumulative attrition rate of sixty percent over four years (Odutola, 1981). Researchers have indicated that forty percent of all freshmen would not graduate {Odutola, 1981). Because of the decline in enrollment, institutions of higher education must produce new marketing strategies to attract new students. The new strategies may be helpful in alleviating a …
