Parental Perceptions Of Their Child's Speech And Language Development, Jana M. Keasler

Honors Theses

This thesis discusses parental knowledge of their child's speech and language development. To assess this topic, a survey was administered to 104 parents of preschool children in Arkadelphia, AR. The survey asked general questions concerning speech and language development in children . Results revealed that parents, regardless of income level or education level, have minimal knowledge of speech and language development in their children. Parents with four or more children scored higher on the survey than parents with three fewer children. Implications for further studies are discussed.

Economic Education In Arkadelphia Elementary Schools, Judy Crumby

Honors Theses

In order to learn more about the economic education of Arkadelphia elementary school pupils I was granted interviews with Mrs. Neal, principal of the Arkadelphia Elementary School, Mrs. Goodloe and Mrs. Baber teachers in the same school.

Extensive economic education, especially in the elementary school, began three years ago in 1962. It began with the Economic workshop held at Ouachita Baptist University where five Arkadelphia teachers and two administrators first learned of the potential for economic education in elementary schools.
