An Investigation Of The Phenomenon Of School Phobia, Juliet Ocenar Ruiz
An Investigation Of The Phenomenon Of School Phobia, Juliet Ocenar Ruiz
Graduate Research Papers
School phobia is a perennial problem but very little has been written about it in recent years. The problem of school phobia seemed to have gained more attention in the 1950's and 1960's, with greatest concern for the adolescents' affliction in the 1970's. The purpose of this paper is to revive the reader's consciousness to this problem and to encourage understanding and empathy for children exhibiting a pathological fear of attending school.
Model For Kindergarten Orientation, Lillian Mae Frantz
Model For Kindergarten Orientation, Lillian Mae Frantz
Graduate Research Papers
There is a variation in the way children adjust to school as they enter with different levels of maturation. A basic factor in understanding the nature of children is the recognition that every child.is unique. Children are born with genetic variations that predispose them to be different in appearance, temperament, growth patterns and learning style. All of these factors are interrelated and interdependent and function as a unit to produce unique personalities. In terms of promoting competence, individuality dictates a tolerance and understanding of learning differences, a variety of approaches to teaching and learning in the classroom or at home, …

Graduate Research Papers
It has been observed over a number of years that college students in South Africa, especially the blacks, experience problems in their academic performance. Approximately 20 percent of all the students who enroll for junior degree studies in black universities complete their studies in the minimum expected period of three years. About 70 to 80 percent of all freshmen at these universities fail to obtain sufficient credits to pass on to the second year course studies.

Behavioral Tendencies Of Known Catalog Buyers, Sandra J. Hendrickson
Graduate Research Papers
According to the Direct Mail/Marketing Association, more than five billion catalogs were mailed in 1982 and mail orders generated approximately 40 billion dollars in consumer sales mostly from catalogs. This is a very large increase compared to earlier years (Time, 1982). The increase in catalog consumers is due to several factors, one being the sophistication of computer systems. Computers have provided catalog films with a method of targeting their mailings to specific groups or types of individuals.
Writing The Screenplay: An Investigation Into The Craft, Thomas E. Leonard
Writing The Screenplay: An Investigation Into The Craft, Thomas E. Leonard
Graduate Research Papers
The lure of the motion picture is one that touches millions of people worldwide. It transcends political, religious, cultural, and national boundaries. The basic component of this lure is the actual experience of viewing a motion picture. People go to the cinema for many reasons, mainly for entertainment, but watching a motion picture also satisfies certain psychological needs such as belonging, participation, and fantasy role playing. For the majority of people the role of viewer is their only involvement with motion pictures. There is, however, a select group of people for whom the act of viewing is merely a catalyst …
Self-Image Psychology And Its Effects On Human Potential, Lila Porter Staff
Self-Image Psychology And Its Effects On Human Potential, Lila Porter Staff
Graduate Research Papers
All human beings have a wealth of talent and ability lying dormant within them. This hidden wealth has been labeled human potential. People have not yet determined an accurate way to measure or predict human potential. But, if they were to look back over history, they could clearly see hills and valleys of human achievement. The intent of this paper is to share insights and concepts that will allow people to develop more of their own potential. Then, with this understanding of concepts, instructional designers can more intelligently and successfully develop instruction that is consistent with the way their students …
Exploring Children's Attitudes Toward The Elderly, Beverly Moore Smith
Exploring Children's Attitudes Toward The Elderly, Beverly Moore Smith
Graduate Research Papers
The number of persons in the United States over the age of 65 has grown faster than the population as a whole. Projections for the years 2000 and 2020 show 13% and 18% of the population over 65, respectively. This growth is attributed to a static birth rate and an upsurge in life expectancy. The fact that 25% of the American voters are elderly has captured attention in the political arena. Despite the growing recognition of the unique problems and needs of the aged, social policies fall short of meeting their requirements for a secure and dignified life.
Personality Differences And Computer Assisted Instruction, Jack Wolgamuth
Personality Differences And Computer Assisted Instruction, Jack Wolgamuth
Graduate Research Papers
The introduction of computers into the field of education has spanned more than two decades. The use of computers and information about them has been growing at a very phenomenal rate. One of the biggest areas of discussion and study has been that of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI). Most software in educational use today is based on instructional applications of the computer. Intuition tells us, and studies generally concur, that some CAI designs will work well with some students, while others do not. It is the design of CAI software that is the focus of this paper.
Differences In Gifted And Nongifted Students And Their Birth Order, Linda Meyer
Differences In Gifted And Nongifted Students And Their Birth Order, Linda Meyer
Graduate Research Papers
In recent years research has been conducted to determine the effects of birth-order on a child. A child's sex, physical attributes, size of family, presence or absence of parents, and order of birth, all have effects on a child's development. Birth-order places a child into a special arrangement with the other members of the family. A child's birth-order in his family is both a structural and a processional variable (Albert, 1980). Family structure determines which family member will have the greatest effect on the child. As a process, birth order helps determine the length and intensity of family influences on …
A Plan For Improving The Curriculum And Instruction For The Lower Secondary Schools Of Thailand, Pusaporn Phongboon
A Plan For Improving The Curriculum And Instruction For The Lower Secondary Schools Of Thailand, Pusaporn Phongboon
Graduate Research Papers
"Prior to the 20th century, education was for royalty or for monks" (The Office of Prime Minister, 1978:263). Thailand had no formal school system. Education generally was undertaken as a family task. "The first formal schools were opened only about one hundred years ago" (Bennett, 1975 :26). However, as society became more complex, special institutions were developed to promote desired educational activities. Such developments have been gradual, and in large measure in reference to national interests.
A Study Of Kindergarten Attendance Patterns, Clark William Goltz
A Study Of Kindergarten Attendance Patterns, Clark William Goltz
Graduate Research Papers
In 1956 the first kindergarten was established in the city of Watertown, Wisconsin by Margarethe Meyer Schurz, a disciple of Friedrich Froebel. (Cutright, 1981) The kindergarten and kindergarten curriculum were designed by Froebel in Germany in the 1830's and 1840's. The original kindergarten concept was established for preschoolers three to seven years old. Smith (1971) states that the kindergarten was a system of intellectual, moral and physical education, which reflected pedagogical principles considered foolish and extreme in the middle of the 19th century, namely the significance of play and the need to base the curriculum on the child's interest and …
Investigation Of The Effect Of Television On Student Achievement, Charlotte A. Fiser
Investigation Of The Effect Of Television On Student Achievement, Charlotte A. Fiser
Graduate Research Papers
It has been observed by the researcher that during "sharing time" (activity where children bring things to show and tell about or share their experiences) many of the low achievers tell about television shows with much more frequency than high achievers. These accounts consistently deal with noneducational or commercial television. This led to the hypothesis that a negative correlation existed between noneducational television and student achievement. Concerning noneducational television, Schramm states that major studies show that television viewing tends to be associated with lower-than-average achievement. Television reduces reading time, social interaction time, and the opportunity to practice certain skills necessary …

Developing And Managing A Media Design And Production Facility, Clark Walter Petersen
Graduate Research Papers
Although there is a difference of opinion in the number of educational institutions offering graduate and undergraduate programs in media, in the United States there are between 120 and 160 graduate and undergraduate degree programs in media according to Richard Nibeck (1982) Deputy Executive Director, Association for Educational Communications and Technology. Less than 50% of these 2 schools require more than two courses in management with less than 25% requiring additional course work in business management or other business relate
Some Considerations Of Oral Reading In A Remedial Reading Program, Roberta K. Wright
Some Considerations Of Oral Reading In A Remedial Reading Program, Roberta K. Wright
Graduate Research Papers
It is understood that both oral reading and silent reading instruction are necessary functions of a successful reading program. It is also understood that silent and oral reading have many common skills although they represent different processes for the proficient reader. However, a remedial reading setting is not representative of proficient readers. The question to which this research review has been directed is: What are some potential uses of oral reading in a remedial reading setting with elementary age students who have reading problems? The concern of this paper is in areas in addition to the important role that oral …
A Proposed Course Of Instruction In Resources For Communications For Saint Ambrose College, Stephen Thomas Fehring
A Proposed Course Of Instruction In Resources For Communications For Saint Ambrose College, Stephen Thomas Fehring
Graduate Research Papers
To effectively convey a message can present a difficult task. Communicating means more than merely getting a message from a sender to a receiver. To be effective, the message must be understood by the receiver on the sender's terms. The instrument used to convey the message is the medium, and the medium is often as important as the content of the message. Today, someone with a message to convey can select from a wide variety of media to aid in the effective delivery of their particular message. Media have been employed as communications aids since the time of Moses. When …
Teaching The Written Subtraction Algorithm: Emphasizing Language As The Connecting Link Between Manipulatives And Processes, Carole Wilkinson
Teaching The Written Subtraction Algorithm: Emphasizing Language As The Connecting Link Between Manipulatives And Processes, Carole Wilkinson
Graduate Research Papers
The second National Assessment of Education Progress (Carpenter, et al., 1981) mathematics assessment covered content areas at four levels: lmowledge, skill, understanding, and application. The report suggested that educators had directed their instruction toward the knowledge and skills level but that instruction for understanding received less emphasis. Students at best had only a superficial understanding of mathematical concepts and processes. Evidence of this was apparent. As long as students were able to remember an algorithm they were successful. However, if part of the algorithm was forgotten or diversity in other ways was present they were not successful. Further, it was …
Reading Comprehension: Cloze Procedure Vs. Sustained Silent Reading In The Fourth Grade, Deborah Jo Barkley
Reading Comprehension: Cloze Procedure Vs. Sustained Silent Reading In The Fourth Grade, Deborah Jo Barkley
Graduate Research Papers
In Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged the term read is defined: "...To understand the meaning and grasp the full sense of...''; In this paper reading comprehension is the term used to describe this process. In the book Why Johnny Still Can't Read, by Rudolf Flesch, the author proposes that the only way to learn to read is by using phonics, a method used since the beginning of time. He states "The child learns the mechanics of reading, and when he's through he can read" (p.3). The method of look-and-say works differently. "The child is taught to read before he …
A Study Of Gifted Students: Relationship Of Intelligence And Self-Concept, Leah H. Lorber
A Study Of Gifted Students: Relationship Of Intelligence And Self-Concept, Leah H. Lorber
Graduate Research Papers
As a result of current statistics and studies offering contradictory views of the self-concept of mentally gifted children, this study has been designed to add to the descriptive literature investigating the relationship between self-concept and intelligence in this area. Specifically, this study examines the hypotheses that (a) no relationship exists between self-concept and intelligence in a total population of students and (b) no difference exists in self-concept scores between students who obtain high intelligence test scores and those who do not. The test instruments used to measure the constructs of self-concept and intelligence were the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale and …

Nonverbal Communication In The Elementary Classroom, Jacqueline J. Smith
Graduate Research Papers
The focus of this paper will be upon the various aspects of nonverbal communication and their effects upon students and the educational process in the elementary- school. Large sums of money and much research have been concentrated on educational technology, instructional media, and their effects on the learner. While this is important, success in the classroom depends on the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers-communication (Hurt, 1978).
Positive Social Learning Through Television, Erin Lonergan
Positive Social Learning Through Television, Erin Lonergan
Graduate Research Papers
Social learning theory, especially Bandura's (1969) observational learning provides a theoretical framework for the research on television's effects on children. Observational learning involves changes in the observer's behavior after viewing others directly or through films, television, books and other media. Bandura (1969) states that performance is not necessary for learning of a behavior, nor is obvious reinforcement to the model observed or to the person doing the observing. It has been well established that observational learning does take place (Bandura, 1969).

Graduate Research Papers
Psychographics or lifestyle measures have become a useful means of identifying audiences along psychological dimensions. They are valuable segmentation tools and excellent descriptors of consumers for direct marketers. (Burns, Harrison, 6, p. 32). It's a beneficial way of narrowing direct marketing efforts to those people who are truly interested in specific products or services.

The Counseling Center: A Student Evaluation, Lynn Lee
The Counseling Center: A Student Evaluation, Lynn Lee
Graduate Research Papers
Professional school counselors are taught to identify important factors in providing effective counseling services. Although the importance of these services is not always recognized by the general school population, it is the personal responsibility of the school counselor to see that these services are provided. In establishing a desirable guidance program, students, faculty, administrators, and members of the community can help the counselor identify needed services and aid in the establishment of priorities. Hollis and Hollis (1965) express the opinion that all good guidance services develop from recognizing the needs of these factions. When a new program is implemented, a …

The social studies has been changing during the last twenty years. Until the 1970's, more than 100 major social studies curriculum projects were financed by the U. S. federal government, ·foundations, and institutions of higher learning. However, there was little agreement on which concepts or ways of working in the social sciences were most fruitful and representative of accepted structure.
A Comparative Study Of Freshmen Entering The University Of Northern Iowa In The Fall 1975 Who Received A First Semester Grade Point Average Below 2.00 And Who Completed A Baccalaureate Degree By Summer 1981, Margaret Rolfe
Graduate Research Papers
For the past decade educators in institutions of higher learning have begun to open their doors to a diverse population of students and to design programs that would help them to best "fit" into the college environmental milieu. This diverse student group has brought along with it a multitude of values, cultures, needs and interests that have been totally different from those of the traditional middle-class college-going population. These two groups differ in terms of academic abilities, educational aspirations, career goals, and usually grade point averages. This is not always the case, but oftentimes some students form the diverse population …

The Social Behavior Of Undergraduate Music Majors - Are They Socially Different?, Dawn Michelle White
Graduate Research Papers
This study will examine two concerns relating to the social patterns of undergraduate music majors at the University of Northern Iowa. The first concern is whether or not undergraduate music majors have different patterns of social interaction and behavior when compared to their non-music major counterparts. In this, the researcher is interested in the truthfulness of many stereotypes that have been placed upon undergraduate music majors by their peers in terms of their so called "unusual" day-to-day activities. Are they quite different at the University of Northern Iowa? The second concern is interested in the inward feeling expressed by music …

Career Planning Programs And Processes For Undergraduate Students, Marilyn C. Hawkins
Graduate Research Papers
College students, traditional or non-traditional, experience a state of development in which they are searching to discover themselves. Chickering (1969) assumes that they are searching to discover what he has labeled the seven developmental vectors. They are: achieving competency, managing emotions, becoming autonomous, establishing identity, freeing of interpersonal relations, clarifying purposes and developing integrity. The student may face difficulty in adjusting to these developments because of peer and family pressures and because of the need to maintain a stable academic life. To ease the transition period, they are in need of understanding and mature role models. These role models should …

For many years business and industries have been slow to identify and provide for many needs of workers. Because of union movements in the last fifty years, the worker has achieved a variety of benefits: increased wages, comprehensive medical care, retirement programs, etc. The evolution of mental health coverage has grown from worker pressures to simple economics. A healthy worker is a productive worker and a productive worker increases corporate profit.
