An organization has different resources available to use in meeting its objectives. These resources are monetary resources, raw materials, capital investments, and human resources. Today's organizations are finding it necessary to develop their employees (human resources) into a more productive, satisfied work force, thereby making efficient use of all resources. Human resource development and particularly training and development programs become critical.
The Influence Of Spelling Instruction Of Basal Vocabulary Words On The Comprehension Performances Of Third Graders, Dawn M. Williams
The Influence Of Spelling Instruction Of Basal Vocabulary Words On The Comprehension Performances Of Third Graders, Dawn M. Williams
Graduate Research Papers
Two successive intact third grade classes were involved in a study to test the hypothesis: If spelling instruction is coordinated with the basal reader by teaching the spelling of the basal vocabulary words, then reading comprehension performance will be greater than when an uncoordinated spelling-reading program is used. To determine comparability, the control and experimental groups were analyzed using the Otis-Lennon Mental Ability Test and the reading subtest of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills resulting in no significant differences between groups concerning IQ and prior reading achievement. The control group used Spelling: Words and Skills for its uncoordinated spelling-reading …
Media And Youth: The Potential Influence Of Television On The Behavior Of Children, Sandra Marie Brown
Media And Youth: The Potential Influence Of Television On The Behavior Of Children, Sandra Marie Brown
Graduate Research Papers
Television is, indeed, an extraordinary medium on which almost anything can be revealed or portrayed. It can capture such events as the launching of a space ship or satellite into outer space, or the attempted assassination of a world leader in such a manner as to make the viewer feel likes/he is actually at the site of the event. With all this glory and recognition at its disposal, is it any wonder that television is such a popular medium? Nevertheless, despite its popularity, television can be detrimental to the emotional well-being of certain human beings, the children of our societies.
A Descriptive Study Of The Use Of Audiovisual Materials To Motivate Reading In The Literature Curriculum Of The Middle School Years, Joyce Zarnik
Graduate Research Papers
Recent studies have shown that children spend much more time watching television then they do reading. For thousands of children in the middle school years, the reading of literature is fast becoming the lost art of the affective domain. This paper is a descriptive study of the methods employed by teachers of the middle school to take advantage of the popularity of audiovisual materials to motivate children in the reading of literature.
Literature And The Gifted Kindergarten/Primary Child, Louise M. Huebner
Literature And The Gifted Kindergarten/Primary Child, Louise M. Huebner
Graduate Research Papers
Children who are gifted often enter school having mastered basic reading skills and as avid readers. Trezis (1978) found that "Nearly half of Terman's (1925) highly gifted students...learned to read before starting school, apparently--reported by parents--by some osmotic means!" (p. 743). These children do not need basal reading group skill training where they often become bored, frustrated, and negative about reading and school. Yet, Spache and Spache (1977) found the basal reading approach is used by "95 to 98 percent of primary teachers ••• every day" (p. 10). This signifies a need to change reading instruction and programming for gifted …

A Comparison Of Piagetian And Psychometric Measures Of Intelligence, Kathryn Ann Berntson
A Comparison Of Piagetian And Psychometric Measures Of Intelligence, Kathryn Ann Berntson
Graduate Research Papers
The ideas of Jean Piaget have sooner or later been applied to practically every aspect of education. These ideas are based on Piaget's theory that every individual progresses through four cognitive developmental stages: the sensorimotor stage, the preoperational stage, the concrete operational stage, and the formal operational stage. According to Piaget, during these stages an individual progresses from reflex reactions to the environment to the point, if and when he reaches the level of formal operations, he can think abstractly and test hypotheses.
The Single-Parent Father In Contemporary Society, Mary E. Crawford
The Single-Parent Father In Contemporary Society, Mary E. Crawford
Graduate Research Papers
The word "love" is perhaps the most widely used and abused term in the English language. We love our parents. We love our brothers and sisters. We love our pet and fruit, vegetables and meat, our home, and our car or truck. We love our country and flag. We love, both animate and inanimate objects. Human beings, today and throughout history, have had the need to love and to be loved. The search of finding or simply recognizing this love, first of all, and then giving and receiving love, is often a frightening experience. There also seems to be a …

Relationship Between Size Of School And Least Preferred Coworker Score For Elementary School Principals, Stephen Carter Foster
Relationship Between Size Of School And Least Preferred Coworker Score For Elementary School Principals, Stephen Carter Foster
Graduate Research Papers
In the complicated, subjective field of leadership, school administration ranks as one of the least well understood areas on the scale. Business, with their billions have been able to spend the money and the time examining leadership in the business environment and have established considerable data which, because of the lack of money and time in education, must be translated to our field before analysis. This translation occasionally diminishes the value of the results obtained from the research. For this reason, it is of major importance that educators adjust and apply some of the ideas developed in business to educational …
Effects Of An On-Campus Orientation Experience On New Uni Students' Perceptions Of The Campus Environment, Charlene W. Backman
Effects Of An On-Campus Orientation Experience On New Uni Students' Perceptions Of The Campus Environment, Charlene W. Backman
Graduate Research Papers
Summer orientation programs are common means of registering new freshmen students at colleges and universities. Frequently, these programs also aim to affect perceptions and attitudes of their students toward the institution (Forrer, 1974). Black (1974: 102) states that orientation"...assists students to become better acquainted with a new educational environment." According to Robert H. Shaffer {1970: 7-121)"...the purpose of the orientation process might well be summarized as that of communicating to the student and all those influencing him what a college, a college education, and a college educated person are."

Family Crisis Intervention With An Adolescent At Risk Of Suicide: A Study Of The Family Crisis Intervention Unit Of Polk County, Iowa, Michael Perry Bleadorn
Graduate Research Papers
Suicide: the act of killing one's self intentionally. The word reaches out and grabs every one of us who reads or hears it. It is a word which is at the very heart of our innermost fears. Suicide is an action which has been romantically praised in western culture by William Shakespeare in "Romeo and Juliet." It has been glorified in the eastern culture through the ritual of Hari-kiri and also in the kamakazi mission of death. "Suicide, which once ranked twenty-second on the list of causes of death in the United States, now rates tenth, and in some states …
A Comparison Of The Career Paths Of Men And Women Qualified For School Administration From The University Of Northern Iowa, 1975-80, Nel Little
Graduate Research Papers
Career paths and attitudes of school administrators have been fairly well documented over the last quarter of a century (Carlson, 1972; Hemphill, Griffiths & Frederikson, 1962; Barter, 1959). These studies have focused on men, since they dominate the field of school administration. The most recent nationwide data available (1972-73), from NEA's 26th Biennial Survey, show that men represented 80.4% of the elementary principals, 97.1% of the junior high school principals, 98.6% of all high school principals, and 99.9% of superintendents in the United States. The number of men in school administration has increased constantly from 1955 when men represented only …

In the past two decades considerable effort has focused on the degree to which college environments exert important impacts on students' values, attitudes, and behaviors. However, since college and university environments are so rich and multi-dimensional, it may be more appropriate to center attention on the subenvironments. The college residence hall is one such subenvironment which has received considerable attention during the past decade.

This has resulted in the development of some interesting and innovative techniques, as well as some that are …
Counselor's Responsibilities And Student's Needs At The Junior High School Level, Ken H. Winter
Counselor's Responsibilities And Student's Needs At The Junior High School Level, Ken H. Winter
Graduate Research Papers
In the past decade, the necessity for a junior high school counselor seems to have increased more than ever before. Formerly, the child's needs were handled by the teacher through homeroom and classroom guidance programs (Baughman, 1974; Grambs, et. al., 1961). Gradually, socioeconomic forces of the past decades have encouraged a full time specialist, or the equivalent, available in guidance and testing for every 250 to 300 pupils in a junior high school (7th and 8th grades) (Conant, 1960; Tink, 1963).

Improving Interpersonal Communication Skills: An Inservice Design For Iowa School Administrators, Troyce Lindaman Fisher
Improving Interpersonal Communication Skills: An Inservice Design For Iowa School Administrators, Troyce Lindaman Fisher
Graduate Research Papers
Recent studies have shown that the school principal is the pivotal person in determining the effectiveness of a school. (24:1) He or she has more influence over both the institutional and the individual dimensions that comprise the operations of the school than any other single participant in the educational enterprise. Newell (31:5) has suggested that the reason administrator relationships have such far-reaching effects on education is because the goals the administrator sets out to achieve are realized chiefly through other people. It is inherent to an administrator's effectiveness to nurture positive human relationships.

A Study Of The Effect Of Programmed Reading Vs. Basal Reading On Spelling Achievement, Kathleen Ann Callan
A Study Of The Effect Of Programmed Reading Vs. Basal Reading On Spelling Achievement, Kathleen Ann Callan
Graduate Research Papers
The problem of spelling has concerned educators since the late nineteenth century. "How well children learn to spell is affected by what is done in reading, in written work, in handwriting, in speaking, in addition to what is done in periods devoted specifically to spelling. Recognizing the fact that spelling is an integral part of the many facets of language, considerable amounts of research have been compiled taking many different approaches. Leonard Cahen (1971) in his survey of the research of spelling difficulties cited more than 100 studies just in the area of attempting to predict spelling difficulty. Those did …

The Life Management Project: A Comprehensive Treatment And Training Approach To Rehabilitation For Adult Offenders, Elaine Rose Penn
The Life Management Project: A Comprehensive Treatment And Training Approach To Rehabilitation For Adult Offenders, Elaine Rose Penn
Graduate Research Papers
In the past fifteen to twenty years, penal reform has undergone a structural and service model trend toward vocational training and counseling. In many state penal facilities inmates can now take advantage of vocational/technical training and even obtain external degrees through correspondence programs with local colleges and universities. There is a need to supplement these training efforts by preparing inmates emotionally and socially for the kinds of pressures they will face upon release. The high rates of recidivism, substance abuse and unemployment represented by the ex-offender population are highly indicative of the special needs of this group .
