Selected Topics On Individualized Instruction, Wilmer Purvis Peeler
Selected Topics On Individualized Instruction, Wilmer Purvis Peeler
Graduate Research Papers
The formal development of individualized instructional programs in America began as a reaction against the age-graded lock-step system in which all students were constrained to study the same materials, in the same way, for the same length of time. Arguments for breaking down uniformity of instruction gained support with the appearance of instruments for measuring human abilities. It became clear that students differ not only in intelligence but in creativity. It also became clear that great differences between competence and performance are possible, and that inequalities in intellect, physical ability and social behavior, great in childhood, increase as students move …

A Study Of The Role And Responsibilities Of A Secondary High School Department Chair As Perceived By Selected Secondary High School Department Chairs In Iowa, Dennis Carl Schroeder
Graduate Research Papers
The position of department chair exists in most moderate to large secondary high schools. This position exists because of an earlier identified need of the principal and other administrative superordinates for assistance in organizing a moderate to large staff of certified personnel in an efficient and effective manner. The position of department chair may be regarded as an extension of the administrative entity by serving as a means to provide leadership to a substructure or segment of the total staff of a moderate to large high school.

Production reports show the physical changes (i.e., production quotas go down) but what causes these changes? How does it affect industry and how can industry help their employees at middle age?

A Study Of Elementary Inservice Programs In The State Of Iowa, Craig Robert Campbell
Graduate Research Papers
The key question now confronting public education in America is how to provide more and better education in the coming decades for the school children of our country. The elementary school plays a vital role in the process of educating students. Elementary teachers, supervisors, and administrators must assume major responsibilities if the elementary school is to meet successfully today's critical challenges. Preparation for teaching elementary students is a process that is never completed. The elementary school exists for the purpose of providing instruction, therefore educators must strive continuously to upgrade instruction to stay relevant. To facilitate this idea within the …

An Investigation Of Differences In Frequency Of Health Problems Between Internally And Externally Oriented College Students, Stephen Kent Klein
An Investigation Of Differences In Frequency Of Health Problems Between Internally And Externally Oriented College Students, Stephen Kent Klein
Graduate Research Papers
During the past 15 to 20 years there has been a great deal of personality research on the concept of internal, versus external control of reinforcement, or locus of control. A major portion of the research is probably explained by the availability of the Rotter Internal-External Control Scale. Locus of control has not just been limited to a "measurable" concept in psychology; it has also been associated and applied to current social concerns and problems. Much of the research in personality and social psychology today is problem oriented. Some of the topics and concerns are mastery and control over the …

The Effect Of Peer Counseling On The Frequency Of Adolescent Alcohol Abuse, D'Arcy Ann Heine
Graduate Research Papers
Alcoholism is a major health problem in the United States. There are an estimated ten million people stricken with the illness, a 100 percent increase over the estimated five million alcoholics in 1958. Even more startling is the fact that alcoholism among this country's adolescents has risen an alarming 300 percent in the last decade. Over one fourth of the adolescents who drink are no longer classified as social drinkers, but are early, middle or late stage alcoholics. Eighty-three percent of the high school students drink alcohol, in varying amounts, with varying frequency. An estimated 25 percent abuse alcohol. By …
A Descriptive Survey Of Evaluation Methods Of High School Principals, Barry Robert Reese
A Descriptive Survey Of Evaluation Methods Of High School Principals, Barry Robert Reese
Graduate Research Papers
The concept of formal evaluation of high school administrators has been afforded increased attention in recent years. With demands for accountability from the public sector and increasing pressures from within the profession, varying methods and practices have been sought to encapsulate this area. Even so, at the present time there is less than a clear picture of what, if anything, the public schools are doing in a systematic fashion in evaluating the performance of the secondary administrators, namely high school principals.

A Study Of How Academic Department Heads Perceive The Division Of Extension And Continuing Education In Regards To Future Departmental Development, John Sykes Hall
Graduate Research Papers
The closing of the decade of the 70's has also brought with it the closing of an era in American History, the baby boom era. The post-war infants of the late 40's and early 50's have progressed steadily through the elementary, secondary, and post-secondary schools swelling each in turn to its capacity. The early 70's saw these young adults, in numbers the likes of which this country has never before seen, entering a highly competitive and highly specialized job market. Due to advances in technology and an ever increasing amount of knowledge these young adults are now demanding of society …
The Role Of The Elementary School Counselor In Child Abuse, Thomas George Petaros
The Role Of The Elementary School Counselor In Child Abuse, Thomas George Petaros
Graduate Research Papers
Child abuse has existed for as long as man has inhabited the earth. In spite of its long history, child abuse has only recently been recognized as a problem in need of investigation and study. In earlier ages, children were considered property of their parents. As with their property, parents were allowed to treat their children in any manner they desired. The children were left with few, if any, rights. In addition, the sole responsibility for child rearing was placed in the hands of the parents. Agencies were not available to take care of children if parents could not or …

Graduate Research Papers
"They just can't read the material" is an expression which can be heard in almost any teacher's lounge. Often it is a science, social studies, or mathematics teacher who is complaining about the inability of students to comprehend what is read in textbooks. Media coverage suggests that children are experiencing difficulty with all the basic skills (Howe, 1979).

A Review Of Special Class Placement Vs. Regular Class Placement And Its Relationship To Academic Achievement Of The Low Iq Student, Aleta Mary Leavens
Graduate Research Papers
Since the inception of special education in this country, many educators have elected to serve those children described as mentally retarded, emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, etc., ..• This investigation was aimed at those who are low functioning intellectually. Numerous such students have been identified, labeled, and placed in special programs outside of the regular classroom setting. The problem lies in the fact that the majority of special educators have blindly accepted specialized programs as a panacea to an ever-present dilemma. In the face of educators' suggested inability to deal effectively with "low IQ" students, they have been frequently segregated from …

The Reading Habits Of Mesquakie Parents, Linda Benson Tyon
The Reading Habits Of Mesquakie Parents, Linda Benson Tyon
Graduate Research Papers
A number of texts used in the teaching of reading discuss :factors related to reading readiness, achievement, and attitudes. One of the most significant factors discussed is the home or family environment. Under the broad topic of home or family environment, numerous subcategories are operating. Some of the sub-categories include the socioeconomic background of a family (Artley, 1968); the bilingual/ bicultural background of a family (Allen, 1976); the emotional and psychological state of the family (Harris & Sipay, 1975); and the behavior and attitudes about reading within the family (Karlin, 1978).

The Effect Of Teachers' Expectations, Attitudes, And Managerial Abilities On Student Achievement, Catherine Tremblay Allison
Graduate Research Papers
Success in school is presumably thought to be a function of both internal and external stimuli that impinge upon the student (Breen, 1979). In recent years, more attention has been given to the internal stimuli. These affective and attitudinal factors are beginning to play an increasingly important role in the educational process.
Using Children's Literature To Stimulate Children's Writing, Lois Jane Auliff
Using Children's Literature To Stimulate Children's Writing, Lois Jane Auliff
Graduate Research Papers
Writing helps children use language in new ways. The process of writing brings order to unorganized thinking. It brings o a conscious level vague realizations. Because writing can make ideas more concrete, it helps learning take place. As Cook relates, "It is only by putting pencil to paper, by sorting out what we have written, that we come to grips with what we know and believe."

Developing Self-Directed Learners In Secondary Reading Lab, Jane L. Olsen
Developing Self-Directed Learners In Secondary Reading Lab, Jane L. Olsen
Graduate Research Papers
One of the major objectives of formal education should be developing skills which will assist individuals in self-directed learning activities once they graduate from high school. Educators tend to assume self-directed study skills are mastered when in reality the skills have not been a major concern for development in the classrooms. Generally at the secondary level teachers set the priority for mastery of course content rather than for development of study skills which would lead to independence in learning that content. The instructors prescribe activities, materials, and content according to their assessments of students' needs for the experiences to come …

The Effect Of Using Study Guides To Facilitate The Comprehension Of Short Stories, Roberta Ladd Bodensteiner
Graduate Research Papers
In the secondary level, when most students are beyond the "learning to read" stage and are immersed in "reading to learn," the need for suitable materials and strategies for reading becomes quite important. One recognized and practiced method of guiding students through their reading is the use of a study guide. The purpose of this study was to determine whether tenth grade English students in an experimental group would have significantly higher quiz scores after having used study guides during a study of short stories. The following question was examined: Does the use of a study guide facilitate student comprehension …
