Serial Learning In Young Children, Charlene A. Keller
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The effects of sex and tutorial instruction were studied as they influenced the seriation ability of pre-school children. The research was conducted at the Utah State University Child Development Laboratories with 24 four year old children enrolled at that time. Twelve of the children, six girls and six boys, were given seriation tasks. The remaining 12 children, six girls and six boys, were not given any seriation training.
It was found that the 12 children who had received individualized instruction seriated significantly better on every task than the 12 children who had received no training. The children who were trained …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The free play behavior of two of the Utah State University nursery school groups was observed and recorded according to the time sampling instrument devised to assess the musical activity of children. Twelve group music experiences, in addition to those of the regular curriculum, were presented to the experimental group while the control group received two such experiences.
Sex was found not to be a significant factor in the amount of musical activity; however, girls were slightly more active rhythmically than the boys. The children between 3 years 10 months and 4 years 4 months were the most active musically …

The Content Of Preschool Children's Original Stories, Danae Elaine Dana
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The early years of childhood are characterized by new ideas; experimentation; the building of relationships; fears, both real and imagined; and play, through which the child tries to assemble these experiences into a meaningful whole. The early years are an exciting, complex and vibrant time of learning while the child grows in his understanding of himself and the world around him.
Children's Relationships With Peers, Carla Nelson
Children's Relationships With Peers, Carla Nelson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
A child's family is the center of his world during infancy and extending into the preschool years. As a child nears school age and in succeeding years, he reaches out into the world beyond his home environment. He comes in contact with the world of other people who arc not included in his family circle. In this new world of peers, the child finds something he does not find at home. Here are other individuals like himself who have many things in common, such as age, appearance, interests, and desires. We find in this peer culture, children who can better …
Differences In Frustration Reactions Of Nursery School Children, Sharon Marshall
Differences In Frustration Reactions Of Nursery School Children, Sharon Marshall
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The study of frustration has been of interest to various people including psychiatrists, psychologists, and educators for a number of years. These people have been interested in frustration because the complexity of our modern life has involved so many frustrating experiences. Frustration has been defined by Dollard (8, p. 7) as "an interference with the occurrence of an instigated goal response at its proper time." Ruch (21, p. 151) defined frustration as "the denial or thwarting by some obstacle which lies between a need and its goal." These two definitions are in essence identical. The average person has many obstacles …

An Analysis Of The Differential Responses Of A Group Of Nursery School Children To A Variety Of Musical Presentations, Eva Louise Godfrey
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The problem of what kinds of music provide the most meaning for the young child has long been a concern of the author. It arises not only out of close experience with young children, but also out of a concern for the responsibility of providing them with meaningful aesthetic experiences. From this background of experience the problem is not purely an academic one. Its first and ultimate concern is an experiential one. Because it arises out of this particular background, the analysis of the problem and its study is less concerned with academic and scientific validity than might otherwise have …
Differential Responses Of Student Teachers To Children In Nursery School, Carroll Carman Lambert
Differential Responses Of Student Teachers To Children In Nursery School, Carroll Carman Lambert
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
For some time the writer has observed the keen, creative sensitivity with which children respond to their world. She has also observed, however, that many teachers and parents seem to be quite unaware of this sensitivity. An illustration of this lack of awareness is the following experience: One day a nursery school teacher had a painful headache; in fact, it was suggested that she go home for the remainder of the day. Instead of going home, however, she decided to stay, thinking that her headache would soon abate. The teacher was sitting on a chair observing the children, unaware that …

Differences In Frustration Reactions Of A Group Of Preschool Children, Lorraine Storey
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In recent years, the concept of frustration has been central in both mental hygiene and social psychology. This is rightfully so. Frustration has been defined as any kind of thwarting or blocking of the motive (4, 7, 14). Any person involved in modern day living is confronted with many types of situations which do actually block or thwart his wishes or drives. A person may be blocked because of conditions existing in the environment, because of personal inadequacies, and because of conflicting drives. Since a person is forced to face so many sources of frustration, the method that he chooses …
