Long-Term Effectiveness Of Educational Intervention On The Assertiveness, Self-Esteem, And Well-Being Of Displaced Homemakers, Marc F. Mathias

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The purpose of this study was to determine if educational intervention could cause a decrease in distress, and if so would this change last up to a year. The sample consisted of displaced homemakers from three Northern Utah counties enrolled in a seminar (educational intervention) to prepare for the development of employment skills. Pre-test, post-test and follow-up tests were given to measure the change in stress.

It was concluded that the educational intervention did reduce the distress level and that the …

Enok Mortensen And Askov, Hans Henningsen

The Bridge

The connection between Enok Mortensen and Askov Folk High School in Denmark came about accidentally, as it were, in the middle of the 1950s. The background was that rector Knud Hansen made some critical remarks, in an interview, about the United States and American foreign policy. This caused a great to-do in the press, so much so that the American ambassador decided to visit Askov Folk High School to judge for himself whether it were possible that Askov had "gone communist." Shortly thereafter Knud Hansen received an official invitation to spend three months in the United States. The visit, which …

These students were compared with a randomly selected cohort comparison group who were not known to have language learning problems. Major findings included: A higher percentage of the SLD group (81.4%) …

The Effect Of Cooperative Learning On The Spelling Skills, Self-Concept, And Locus Of Control Of Below Average Learners, Lyle Rangel Edd

Dissertations

THE PROBLEM A pilot study had shown that below average learners have commonalities in their learning styles. Since the literature had demonstrated that matching students’ learning style with a compatible teaching approach could improve the academic performance of children, this study attempted to determine what the impact of teaching cooperatively, a teaching approach that closely matched the preferred learning style of the below average learners, would have on such learners. The impact of the teaching strategy was evaluated through changes in spelling scores, in self-concept and in locus of control. Further, the impact on boys and girls was monitored to …

An Investigation Of Strong Religious Cultures In Selected Catholic Secondary Schools, John Philip Pejza Edd, Osa

Dissertations

The culture of a school includes the values, symbols, beliefs, and shared meanings of members of the school community.

As a result, religious cultures quite distinct from those of public schools exist in Catholic schools. This study investigated strong religious cultures in six selected west coast Catholic secondary schools selected through a reputational analysis survey. Schools were selected to include representation from six major groupings using the criteria of (a) type, of school (diocesan and private), (b) student body (coeducational and single sex), and …
