Addressing and assessing critical thinking in intercultural contexts: Investigating the distance learning outcomes of military leaders
Reinforcing the Divide: The Influence of the U.S. Census on American Identity Development
Accounts of race in the United States have traditionally been steeped in prejudicial notions consistent with the society (Lusane, 2000; U.S. Census Bureau, 2000; Griffin, Caplinger, Lively, Malcom, McDaniel,&Nelsen, 1997). The U.S. Census has been used as an instrument in the continued dichotomous division of American citizens into either one of two groups, Whites and Nonwhites (Ngai, 1999). This essay examines the impact of the U.S. Census on U.…
Literacy in the 21st Century: Emergent Themes
The most difficult task facing policymakers is to understand that the strong feelings on both sides of the reading debate may not be truly reflective of the choices before them. It is not a choice between teaching reading through phonics or whole language. A good whole-language program must include phonics. And good direct-phonics instruction, while essential, is only one part of an effective program. Policymakers should seek to walk the fine lin…
A Comparison of Alternatively and Traditionally Prepared Teachers
By 1993, 40 states had instituted alternative certification (AC) programs for degree holders wishing to teach (Sindelar & Marks, 1993). Although these alternative certification programs have occasioned controversy over their value, researchers have conducted very few substantive investigations on their effectiveness. The few extant studies have somewhat contradictory results. One problem with investigations and even discussion of AC and tradition…
Whole Language: A Research Agenda for the Nineties
This article examines the current rift in perspective between whole language arts and traditional language arts instruction by analyzing the basis of each view in research and theory. Suggestions are made regarding research developments that might alleviate the present impasse. These include not only hypotheses to be tested but also explain the need for a variety of designs, improved instrumentation, and collaborative investigations
Whole Language and the Need for Open Inquiry: A Rejoinder to Edelsky
God as father in the Bible and the father image in several contemporary ancient Near Eastern myths: A comparison
Psychoanalytic approaches to biblical religion
In defense of monotheistic father religion
A Validation Study of the Inventory of Teacher Knowledge of Reading
The reliability and construct validity of an instrument designed to measure teacher knowledge of reading are examined. The instrument was administered to a sample of 304 elementary school teachers. Results revealed significant differences among teachers grouped by number of years of teaching experience, degree level, number of reading courses, and grade level taught. All differences were interpreted as supporting the construct validity of the ins…
