The paper summarizes five different approaches to the Amores (those of Paul Veyne, J. T. Davis, Barbara Weiden Boyd, Ellen Gre…

Mastery motivation in boys and girls
Maladaptive Achievement Patterns in Students
Guided by a theoretical model of academic achievement, the studies described here employed a multimethod approach to explore the interplay of factors that lead some children to strive harder in the face of failure and others to exhibit a maladaptive “helpless” response pattern. Converging evidence from laboratory and field research demonstrates that children with extrinsic motivational styles are more susceptible to helpless behavior, particularl…
Writing as a tool for learning
The faculty at Ward College of Technology CT, USA is expanding emphasis on writing as a method of improving student learning. The approach is three-pronged: first, to expand the writing portion of laboratory reports; second, to include free writing exercises in theory classes; and third, to introduce oral presentations into the laboratory. As a result of these efforts, students are becoming more organized and critical in their thinking and writin…
Retention of Women in Technology Programs
The consistent growth trend in the percentage of female students in schools of technology is apparent, but the actual number of females is still relatively small. To compound this problem, the attrition rate for this female minority is higher than that of males. Therefore, the challenge of the 1980's is to continue active recruitment of competent females and, once recruited, to retain them in academic programs. To do so, curricula must be creativ…
