Instrumentally Based Conditioned Avoidance Response Acquisition In Goldfish In A Simultaneous Presentation Task, Dominic Zerbolio, L L. Wickstra Apr 1979

Instrumentally Based Conditioned Avoidance Response Acquisition In Goldfish In A Simultaneous Presentation Task, Dominic Zerbolio, L L. Wickstra

UMSL Emeritus

Goldfish, run in a Y-maze, with the simultaneous presentation of a cue associated with shock and a second cue associated with safety (no US), acquired a decided preference for the safe cue. These data are interpreted as representing a clear demonstration of stimulus-specific conditioned avoidance. Because earlier research has been challenged by unusual control performances, this instrumental learning conclusion is hesitantly drawn.

Educational Reform In The Context Of Community-Based Nonformal Education Programs, David R. Evans Jan 1979

Educational Reform In The Context Of Community-Based Nonformal Education Programs, David R. Evans

David R. Evans

During the past decade, nonformal education has become an accepted part of the educational scene in developing and developed countries alike. A good part of its popularity can be attributed to the belief that nonformal education could achieve some substantial reforms in the provision of education. Nonformal education appeared to h old out the possibility of dealing with problems of equity of access to education, of decreasing the distance between education and the world of work and life, of promoting development of rural areas, and of accelerating political participation and social development. Nonformal education was quickly seen to be a …

The Role Of Women In Tanzania: Their Access To Higher Education And Participation In The Labour Force, Asayehgn Desta Dec 1978

The Role Of Women In Tanzania: Their Access To Higher Education And Participation In The Labour Force, Asayehgn Desta

Asayehgn Desta

A self-administered questionnaire given to 526 postsecondary students and 424 employed university graduates provides data on the participation of Tanzanian women in higher education and in the work force. Research shows that Tanzanian women students are more likely than men to come from more developed regions, reside in urban areas, have relatively well-educated and highly paid parents in professional or administrative occupations, and be enrolled in courses that reflect stereotypical ideas of women's role. Though women initially earn as much as men, they wait longer for initial employment, and pay differentials between the sexes increase over time in favor of …

Schooling For Alienation: The Ethiopian Experience, Asayehgn Desta Dec 1978

Schooling For Alienation: The Ethiopian Experience, Asayehgn Desta

Asayehgn Desta

Conducted with 1500 randomly selected Ethiopian twelfth grade students, this study explored reasons for student alienation in Ethiopia. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. Findings indicated that students are more alienated when they perceive the school environment to be closed. Students who were more anxious about passing the highly selective Ethiopian School Leaving Certificate Examination were more alienated than those less anxious, suggesting that this test is a cause of alienation. Students in institutions with lower prestige felt more alienated, reflecting perhaps their knowledge that students from such institutions have a smaller chance for later success. Finally, the most …
