DEALING WITH PROSPERITY AND DEPRESSION: THE INTEREST METHOD IN A COMMUNITY COLLEGE HISTORY UNIT
Title
DEALING WITH PROSPERITY AND DEPRESSION: THE INTEREST METHOD IN A COMMUNITY COLLEGE HISTORY UNIT.
Creator
MOSES, JAMES HENRY., Florida Atlantic University, Mohl, Raymond A.
Abstract/Description
This thesis contends that using the interest method of teaching history motivates learning and maintains the challenge of teaching. The philosophy behind the interest method stems from the conflict between elitist and realist thinking at the community college level. This clash is often reflected in poor student-response and in effective teaching. The interest method integrates the positive points of each philosophy. All student levels are served without sacrificing individual achievement...
Show moreThis thesis contends that using the interest method of teaching history motivates learning and maintains the challenge of teaching. The philosophy behind the interest method stems from the conflict between elitist and realist thinking at the community college level. This clash is often reflected in poor student-response and in effective teaching. The interest method integrates the positive points of each philosophy. All student levels are served without sacrificing individual achievement groups or course material. The instructor's intellectual activity is also stimulated promoting teaching efficiency and enthusiasm. The prosperity and depression decades (1920-1940) are chosen to best illustrate the interest method.

NEW USE FOR GENERALIZATIONS IN THE TEACHING OF WORLD HISTORY
Title
A NEW USE FOR GENERALIZATIONS IN THE TEACHING OF WORLD HISTORY.
Creator
STANTON, MARY E., Florida Atlantic University
Abstract/Description
In an effort to resolve the declining popularity of World History in the Community Junior College, "A New Use for Generalizations in the Teaching of World History" was designed. Students have rebelled at traditional World History courses because they have been forced to memorize masses of irrelevant data; they have not been shown meaningful transitions that would give students a sense of confidence in their inheritance from the past; and students have not received help from World History...
Show moreIn an effort to resolve the declining popularity of World History in the Community Junior College, "A New Use for Generalizations in the Teaching of World History" was designed. Students have rebelled at traditional World History courses because they have been forced to memorize masses of irrelevant data; they have not been shown meaningful transitions that would give students a sense of confidence in their inheritance from the past; and students have not received help from World History content to solve current problems. "Living Ages," a syllabus for a World History course using generalizations was included in the dissertation. The course had been taught by Mary Stanton while head of the Social Science Department and professor of history at Palm Beach Atlantic College in West Palm Beach. A slight revision of the chronological time-line models gave more time for the emerging Third World Nations. The author's current revision utilizing the principles of the doctoral dissertation will make the course ready to teach as a survey of World History on the college level.

It contains specific concept based lesson plans in the areas of geography, American history and government. All of the concepts are achieved through the use of art skills rather than textbook interpretations. They require the student to use higher level taxonomic skills in the preparation of a final observable product such as maps, posters, flags and models. The concepts presented contain a teacher's rationale, student's discovery question, list of necessary materials, suggested textbook sources, method of presentation by the teacher to the students and discussion questions to follow the presentation by the students of their product.

Title
Exploring the impact of electronic textbook tools on student achievement in world history.
Creator
Bonner, Cathy E., College of Education, Department of Curriculum, Culture, and Educational Inquiry
Abstract/Description
This mixed-methodology study examined the effect of using Electronic textbook highlight and animation tools on the knowledge and comprehension achieved by10th grade students. Eighty-two students enrolled in a regular World History course were purposefully selected and assigned to 1 of 4 groups: (a) Highlight, (b) Animation, (c) Highlight-and-Animation, or (d) Comparison. A One-Way ANCOVA with a Bonferroni Adjusted Alpha was used in analyzing the results of the knowledge and comprehension...
Show moreThis mixed-methodology study examined the effect of using Electronic textbook highlight and animation tools on the knowledge and comprehension achieved by10th grade students. Eighty-two students enrolled in a regular World History course were purposefully selected and assigned to 1 of 4 groups: (a) Highlight, (b) Animation, (c) Highlight-and-Animation, or (d) Comparison. A One-Way ANCOVA with a Bonferroni Adjusted Alpha was used in analyzing the results of the knowledge and comprehension World History pretest and posttest that were administered. A Factorial ANCOVA with a Bonferroni Adjusted Alpha was used in analyzing the influence of the Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) moderator. Using the eEdition World History textbook tools of highlight and animation did not significantly impact the World History knowledge and comprehension scores achieved by participants and the participant's SRI level did not significantly moderate the relative effectiveness of the conditions. Interview data from 3 Student Focus groups and 1 Teacher Focus group were analyzed with an open exploratory coding strategy. The resulting classification code of "ease of use" was characterized by: (a) time required to learn to use the tools, and (b) time to complete the tasks. A second code, "choice" was characterized by: (a) choice of instruction tools, and (b) choice in monitoring and assessing student activity. The focus groups indicated that they would use the tools in the future due to benefits such as the ability to modify the information to match their learning and instructional preferences. They also stressed that more instruction on the use of eEdition tools was needed.

Historical research contributes to the knowledge of the underpinnings of nursing education practices and the socialization process of nurses as a profession within the male, patriarchal system of medicine. This inquiry identifies select nurse-woman leaders and their contributions in incorporating a new value system for education and nursing based on feminist principles. The implications of this paradigm shift for nursing education, practice and research are discussed.
