How to Succeed in Three Cultures
Programs developed in response to teen pregnancies
This paper describes programs developed in response to the dramatic rise in adolescent pregnancies and births during the past 15 years. In the main, these programs are targeted to reduce pregnancies among the teen population, as well as to teach teen mothers positive parenting and health care practices. The emphasis on parenting skills arose due to the fact that low-birth-weight and premature children tend to occur in large numbers in teen popula…
Language
Language arises out of the infant-caregiver's nonverbal communication patterns. These patterns are transactional in nature and are in part stimulated by genetically based fixed-action patterns of the infant. Child-rearing practices of the caregiver greatly influence the rate and nature of infant's language development and later measures of achievement, particularly IQ scores. Marked differences in child-rearing patterns are found among social cla…
Language Patterns of Poverty Children
Improving teenage attitudes toward children, child handicaps, and hospital settings
The recent increase in teenage pregnancies increases the risk of of low-birth-weight premature infants born to young mothers. Facilitative child-rearing practices, aimed at overcoming effects of perinatal stress, are being taught to middle-grade students before they become parents. Students participating in the program score higher than controls on measures of positive attitudes toward and knowledge of normal and handicapped children, hospitals, …
Cognitive development and the acquisition of language in three subcultural groups
A Comparison of Guided Discovery, Discovery and Didactic Teaching of Math to Kindergarten Poverty Children
A number of recent innovations in curriculum have at their philosophical-psychological base an emphasis on the students' use of inductive procedures. Suchman's (1961) inquiry training, Dewey's (1910) problem solving, and Gagne's (1961) process goals similarly emphasize the child's development of heuristics to solve problems rather than his acquisition of knowledge through memorization. Bruner's (1961) statement placed the emphasis on discovery le…
Personality Traits of Teachers Nominated as Strong and Weak
Teachers who were nominated as strong or weak by curriculum consultants were asked to rate themselves on Gough's (1960) Adjective Check List. Statistically significant results indicate more women were nominated as strong, more men as weak, more weak teachers delayed returning the questionnaire until pressed to do so, one adjective was checked more frequently by the strong group and seven by the weak. Both groups approached the mean on Gough's sca…
Assimilation and Contrast Effects in Principals' Ratings of Teachers
Adjectives checked by 10 principals who rated 14 teachers each showed clearly that each principal tended to check the same adjectives for himself and teachers he rated high ( r = .88). Negative adjectives chosen for low teachers were not chosen by the principal for himself
Experimental Use of Pre-Instrumental Music Melody Instruments
All teachers of beginning instrument classes face the problem of selecting the properly qualified children for instrument instruction. In September, 1963, the music and research departments of the Palo Alto Unified School District, Palo Alto, California, began a research project designed to study the effect of pre-instrument and instrument training upon children's scores on the Kwalwasser-Ruch (achievement) and Kwalwasser-Dykema (aptitude) standa…
Success” in First Grade as Seen by Teachers
As part of a larger study teachers were asked to check adjectives on the Gough Adjective Check List which describe the boys they had rated high and low on a teacher rating scale, Success in First Grade. Sixty positive items and 20 neutral items were checked significantly more for high boys than they were for low boys. Sixteen negative and 36 neutral items were significantly more often checked for low boys. The possible halo effect and/or behavior…
