Teacher Preparation For Social Studies On The Secondary Level As Recommended By Selected Colleges Of Education And As Preferred By Selected School Districts, Clare Ignatia Sharp

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

The curriculum changes in the social studies from the expostulatory method with history and economics content, to the inductive method with an interdisciplinary approach which included all the social studies, made it difficult for those prepared in the traditional teacher education patterns to adapt to the "new social studies." It was the purpose of this study to survey the programs recommended by selected colleges of education, and to survey the programs preferred by the school districts. This study also attempted to survey any changes that had taken place in teacher preparation on the one hand, and any changes in teaching …

The major problem investigated by this study was whether or not Mexican American bilingual fourth and ninth grade students represent the same language population in their English syntactic usage as do Anglo American fourth and ninth grade students in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

Identification Of Infants At Risk For Potential Developmental Problems Secondary To Stress In Their Mothers., Susanne Bradley Brown

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

One of the first tasks of mothering is the feeding of the child. It is recognized that certain mothers have difficulty carrying out this function. If the mother has extreme difficulty with this task, her child is at risk for neurologic and the subsequent educational problems.

This study looked at the amount of stress in the mother in the year preceding delivery to the rate of weight gain in her child. The hypothe­sis that mothers with increased stress would have the greatest difficulty feeding their infants could not be accepted. There was, however, an in­dication that once the total stress …

Contemporary Historical Research Conference, John A. Henschke Edd

IACE Hall of Fame Repository

The problems and rewards of conducting contemporary historical research are related in the light of the author's experiences in preparing an Ed.D. dissertation analyzing Malcolm, S.

The problems raised by this form of research are discussed by the author. Three areas of …
