Cognitive Effects Of Community Colleges And Four-Year Colleges: Further Evidence From The National Study Of Student Learning., Ernest Pascarella, Marcia Edison, Amaury Nora, Linda S. Hagedorn, Patrick Terenzini

The two-year community college has become one of the major institutional configurations in the American postsecondary system. It has undoubtedly increased both the access to higher education and the social mobility of numerous individuals whose education world otherwise have ended with high school (Cohen & Brawer, 1989; Nunley & Breneman, 1988). However, critiques of the community college posit that, although it may largely guarantee equality of opportunity for access to higher education, it has not, in relationship to four-year colleges and universities, provided equal opportunity in terms of the outcomes or benefits of higher education (Brint & Karabel, 1989; Grubb, …

Mathematical And Theological Beliefs: A Cognitive Science Perspective, Ron Benbow
Mathematical And Theological Beliefs: A Cognitive Science Perspective, Ron Benbow
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995
In recent years, research studies have shown that control decisions and processes, beliefs about the nature of mathematics, attitudes, and other affective variables have enormous impact on the mathematical performance of students. This paper gives an overview of the research on mathematical beliefs and reviews some work done in Christian education relating to theological beliefs. It then compares the two.
Using Data To Develop Mathematical Methods, Philip R. Carlson
Using Data To Develop Mathematical Methods, Philip R. Carlson
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995
An analysis of ordered pairs and their scatter plots leads to interesting questions related to mathematical modeling. Some statistical methods suggest ways to approach this analysis of the ordered pairs. Both high school and college methods are illustrated in this paper.
The Intermediate Value Theorem, Dale Varberg
The Intermediate Value Theorem, Dale Varberg
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995
The Intermediate Value Theorem (a continuous function on an interval assumes all values between any two of its values) is one of the big theorems of calculus. Yet the theorem is absent or briefly mentioned in most calculus textbooks. The theorem deserves better as we intend to show by listing ten picturesque consequences that we think could enliven any calculus course.
What Does A Computer Program Mean? An Introduction To Denotational Semantics, Gene B. Chase
What Does A Computer Program Mean? An Introduction To Denotational Semantics, Gene B. Chase
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995
This paper is for mathematicians who are curious about how topology is being used to prove computer programs correct. Those advanced parts have been limited to Sections III, V, and VI, and they are marked by a [clock symbol]. By contrast, sections II, IV, and VII are suitable as a companion to existing textbooks in a Computer Science course such as Organization of Programming Languages, the course CS 8 as described in Curriculum [1979]. Perhaps in a first reading you might read just those sections.
Among many books and articles on the semantics, or meaning, of computer languages, …
Statistics, Mathematics, And Teaching, David S. Moore
Statistics, Mathematics, And Teaching, David S. Moore
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995
In discussing our teaching, we may focus on content, what we want our students to learn, or on pedagogy, what we do to help them learn. These two topics are of course related. In particular, changes in pedagogy are often driven in part by changing priorities for what kinds of things we want students to learn. It is nonetheless convenient to address content and pedagogy separately. Pedagogy, certainly the less specific of the two, is the topic of my second paper. This paper concerns content, and in particular contains one side of a conversation between a statistician and mathematicians …
Constructivism, Mathematics Education And Christianity, Ted Watanabe
Constructivism, Mathematics Education And Christianity, Ted Watanabe
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995
In this paper, I briefly describe what constructivism is and its implications in the field of mathematics education. I will then discuss what this epistemology may mean to Christians who are in the field of mathematics education

Many have tried to determine the greatest mathematicians in history. The purpose of this paper is to consider making such a list, along with some criteria to consider in making a rank order of these mathematicians.
Experimenting With The Calculus Laboratory Setting, Glen Van Brummelen
Experimenting With The Calculus Laboratory Setting, Glen Van Brummelen
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995
Reform of post-secondary mathematics education, particularly introductory calculus, is becoming commonplace across North America. Although there are many varieties of reform, most can be placed within the philosophical camp of social constructivism. According to this movement, mathematical knowledge is constructed in an interactive way through instructor-student and inter-student dialogue, rather than built in an axiomatic sense such as the "new math" of 20 years ago, or in the reductionistic, algorithmic sense dominant in secondary and introductory college mathematics. While I hold serious concerns about the relativizing of mathematical knowledge that occurs when social constructivism is adopted as a philosophy of …
Improving The Teaching Of Mathematics, David S. Moore
Improving The Teaching Of Mathematics, David S. Moore
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1995
No one concerned about the teaching of college mathematics--and few mathematicians who are not concerned--can have missed the movement to reform teaching in the mathematical sciences at all levels. The teaching of any active branch of knowledge, like the church, is of course "reforming and ever to be reformed." Calls to modernize what we offer students are always with us. What is striking about the current reform movement is not only its momentum but the fact that it centers on pedagogy rather than on content. We ought, say the reformers, to radically alter our style of teaching. My purpose in …

Classroom Personalities Of Effective Teachers Within A Technical College Setting, Fred Manley
Classroom Personalities Of Effective Teachers Within A Technical College Setting, Fred Manley
Dissertations
This study used student ratings to examine relationships between instructor personality and teaching effectiveness for technical college faculty. Research was specifically conducted to address three questions: (1) what personality traits are associated with effective teaching, (2) do the personality profiles of effective teachers differ by academic area, and (3) are there personality dimensions that distinguish above average from below-average instructors.
Students enrolled in classes taught by instructors randomly selected from the accounting, computer information systems, marketing, and office occupations departments at five Wisconsin technical colleges rated their instructors on 29 personality traits and 18 teaching behaviors. Pearson product-moment correlations were …

The Relationship Between Student And Faculty Learning Style Congruency And Perceptions Of The Classroom Environment In Colleges Of Teacher Education, Patrick N. Kariuki
The Relationship Between Student And Faculty Learning Style Congruency And Perceptions Of The Classroom Environment In Colleges Of Teacher Education, Patrick N. Kariuki
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of congruence between teachers' and undergraduate education majors' learning styles in selected colleges of the Tennessee Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, and to determine if the style congruence was related to student perceptions of the classroom learning environment. A related purpose was to identify needed changes in classroom environments based on the characteristics of the actual and ideal classroom environments as perceived by students, characteristics of the actual classroom environment as perceived by their teachers, and characteristics of actual and ideal classroom environments as perceived by men and women …
Machiavellian Attitudes Acknowledged By Principals Of Tennessee Secondary Schools, George M. Williams
Machiavellian Attitudes Acknowledged By Principals Of Tennessee Secondary Schools, George M. Williams
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to determine the level of Machiavellian attitudes acknowledged by secondary school principals as measured by the Mach V Attitude Inventory Scale. The data were collected from an ex post facto survey of 169 public and nonpublic secondary school principals, grades 9-12. Principals completed the Mach V scale and a 13-item demographic survey. Sixteen research questions were formulated to examine the relationship among the variables which produced seventeen null hypotheses. Of the seventeen null hypotheses, four were found to be significant and thirteen were nonsignificant. A review of the descriptive data indicated that the majority …

Consumer-Directed Advertising Of Contraceptive Drugs: The Fda, Depo-Provera, And Product Liability, William Green
Consumer-Directed Advertising Of Contraceptive Drugs: The Fda, Depo-Provera, And Product Liability, William Green
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Pharmaceutical manufacturers have advertised prescription drug products to the public for over a decade. These consumer-directed advertisements often are promoted, like those for other consumer products, with appeals to vanity, insecurity, and pain. Prescription drug advertisements possess certain unique features, most notably a statement that consumers must visit their doctor before purchasing the product. These advertisements also encourage consumers to obtain more detailed information from the manufacturer, often by using 800 numbers to phone in requests for free video tapes, brochures, and information packets. Depo-Provera is one of these prescription drugs.

Negotiating The Future: Nlra Paradigm And The Prospects For Labor Law Reform, William C. Green
Faculty Research at Morehead State University
Japan's rising economic prowess in the 1980's and its penetration of the North American automobile marketplace produced a major economic restructuring. Seven Asian automobile assembly plants, along with four Japanese-Big Three joint ventures, and GM's Saturn were built across the industrial heartland of the United States and Canada.' This common experience, accompanied by a transformation in industrial production methods and the reorganization of work defined in terms of Japanese lean production techniques and cooperative labor relations, created a crisis for the Fordist regime of industrial production, its system of labor-management relations, and organized labor. Lean production has also created a …

Theory And Practice On Preparing Human Resource Development Professionals, John A. Henschke Edd
Theory And Practice On Preparing Human Resource Development Professionals, John A. Henschke Edd
IACE Hall of Fame Repository
Theory and practice in college and university academic programs preparing Human Resource Development (HRD) Professional Practitioners have seldom been addressed in the same places or times. This paper clarifies the terms, theory, practice, academic program, learning, learning organization; traces some history of the issues; provides a case illustration of how an HRD professional prepared in a program advocating a supportive connection between theory and practice, modeled that in his own professional career and developed support within the university setting.
Developing A Mentoring Program Improvement Evaluation Model, John A. Henschke Edd
Developing A Mentoring Program Improvement Evaluation Model, John A. Henschke Edd
IACE Hall of Fame Repository
Formal adult teacher model mentoring programs tend to have a predictable set of elements: policies, mentor selection procedures, mentor training activities, mentor role expectations, mentor-adult teacher matching, and secondary development relationships. Mentoring is an individualized, long-term, teaching/learning relationship between two people used to accomplish a variety of purposes. Yet, little evaluation has been conducted to determine its results, or the effectiveness of the current process, with an eye to making program improvements. The purpose of this qualitative research study was to: develop a program improvement model for an adult teacher mentoring program; apply the model to a formal adult teacher …
