Career development of gifted and regular elementary school studentsCase, Gerald D. January 1993 (has links)
The purpose of this research was to investigate career development of gifted and regular elementary school students. Students in grades four through six from a university laboratory school were examined by ability, grade level, and gender in several areas of interests, using the Holland (1985a) Theory of Vocational Personalities and Work Environments.The Self-Directed Search - Form E (SDS-E; Holland, 1985b) and The Occupational Alternatives Questions (OAQ; Slaney, 1980) were administered to 148 students, 34 of which had been identified as gifted. Holland (1985b) SDS codes were assigned to the SDS obtained scores and the stated occupational choices. Prestige of occupational choices were also assigned, using the socioeconomic index of Stevens and Cho (1985).Demographic variables and hypotheses were tested by MANOVA and ANOVA statistical procedures to determine the nature of relationships between variables.Results indicated overall significant main effects in the MANOVA of obtained SDS codes for the independent variables of grade, sex, and ability. Males scored higher than females on the Realistic code. Females scored higher on the Artistic and Social codes. Gifted students scored higher on the Investigative code. On the ANOVA of the differential variable, there were significant differences by grade and sex, with fifth grade students and females more highly differentiated. / Department of Counseling Psychology and Guidance Services

Long-term effects of an early intervention program for gifted and talented studentsAlexander, Julie January 1995 (has links)
A combined longitudinal and retrospective multiple-case study followed all students from their initial identification for a gifted and talented (g/t) program at the end of 3rd grade to the present. The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term effects of a three-year, self-contained program for students who were identified by the local school district as gifted and talented based on an identification procedure approved by the State Department of Education. The population consisted of 109 students from eleven elementary schools who were formally identified for a full-time, self-contained gifted class for the 4th, 5th, and 6th grades. The gifted classes were offered at two sites in the midwestern school district. Archival data and a questionnaire were used to collect data.A variety of statistical treatments were used to analyze the quantitative data available. Scores from the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, California Achievement Test, ISTEP Test and SAT, along with GPA and class ranking, provided achievement data from the school records. Qualitative data were generated from a follow-up questionnaire.The findings indicate that students who participated in the program perceive it as having long-term positive effects. Students in the experimental group showed significant differences from the control group on all measures of achievement. Students in the experimental group chose majors and career goals in the math and science areas almost twice as often as students in the control group. Students in the control group were significantly different from the experimental group in initial verbal ability indicating possible socio-economic differences between the groups. This was reinforced in student responses for reasons why they chose not to participate in the g/t program. A significant number of experimental group responses reported feelings of isolation during program years. A statistically significant difference in lower math scores for girls was substantiated in quantitative measures on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills at the 3rd grade level and on the SAT. / Department of Educational Administration and Supervision

The effects of psychotherapeutic treatments and sex differences on creative fluency and internal control scoresCooper, Frankie H. January 1983 (has links)
This study was an attempt to answer the following specific question. With posttest creative fluency total (F tot) scores and posttest internal control (I+, I-) subscale scores as dependent variables, are there main effects for psychotherapeutic treatments and for sex differences? In order to answer this question, univariate and multivariate analyses of variance statistics were computed and associated F statistics were tested for significance.The subjects (4-6 graders, N=101) were drawn from a suburban public school. Some were enrolled in general education programs, others were enrolled in special gifted/ talented education programs. The ethnic breakdown of subjects was approximately 60% white, 30% black and 10% from other ethnic backgrounds.The study consisted of a think-aloud treatment group (N=34), a tension-relaxation treatment group (N=33) and an untreated control group (N=34). A 3 x 2 fully-crossed factorial design with random assignment (by sex and grade level) to the aforementioned groups was the basis for data collection.It was found that the posttest mean Ftot, I+ and I- scores for the three treatment conditions did not differ significantly. Moreover, the posttest mean Ftot, I+ and I- scores for males and for females were not significantly different. Thus, it appears from these findings that neither the psychotherapeutic treatments administered nor the sex of the subjects had an effect on creative fluency and internal control scores. However, this study did demonstrate the feasibility of: (1) self-administering psychotherapy using an audio-tape approach, (2) administering psychotherapy to large groups using a teacher to model the desired behavior and (3) administering the think-aloud treatment and the tension relaxation treatment to teach students self-management skills.

An examination of the inservice process used in the introduction of the Tap-a-Talent Program in a selected Indiana metropolitan school corporation / Examination of the inservice process used in the introduction of the Tap-a-Talent Program.Beights, Raymond M. January 1983 (has links)
The purposes of the study were to 1) determine if responses from teachers to items on the pre- and post- administration of the questionnaires would change after viewing the Tap Tapes series and 2) provide members of the Tap - A - Talent committee with recommendations on how to proceed with the inservice process if, in fact, the process should continue.The pre- and post- questionnaires were mailed to randomly selected teachers of grades one through five employed by the school corporation during the 1980-81 school year. Usable questionnaires were returned by 101 teachers and constituted the sample for the study.Data reported represented changes in responses to items on the pre- and post- questionnaires as tabulated by number and percent.The following conclusions were formulated from the summary of the findings based on teacher responses on the pre- and post- questionnaires:1. Teachers who viewed all or some of the seven-part Tap Tapes resulted in a small but positive increase in desired responses in the questionnaires.2. The responses of teachers who viewed none of the Tap Tapes reflected a decrease in the number of desired responses in the questionnaire.3. While many teachers participating in the study reported, by the responses, an overall agreement with the statements in the questionnaire prior to viewing the Tap Tapes, the data reflect a general strenthening of views and attitudes by teachers following the viewing of the tapes.4. The video-tapes, mini-workshop series, known as Tap Tapes, appeared to be an effective inservice component.

Virtual Personalization: Technology-Mediated Interactions and the Opportunities for Engagement and Connection in a Blended Learning ProgramOngaro, Christopher January 2021 (has links)
This case study explored the ways that aspects of a high school blended learning program (pseudonym: BL High) encourage or discourage personalization. For K-12 learners a major concern exists in the increasingly rigid dominion of the programmatic over the personal, which leaves many students disengaged and disconnected. Having expanded the ways in which students can interact with curriculum and teachers, 21st-century technology introduces new conditions that may, or may not, encourage personalization instead of standardized, efficiency-based policies and practices.In response to digital technology’s possible impact on education, this study documents student and teacher experiences as evidence of the ways in which personalization is encouraged or discouraged. Personalization was approached generally as a matter of context and power, such that factors shaping the learning process could be altered and that each learner could make decisions about those factors.
Through the participation of nine students and three teachers, data were collected in interviews, photographs, and program and course documents. Findings showed that personalization at BL High was a complex matter that occurred through a collection of factors and a series of decisions. That collection of factors allowed students to engage in learning in and out of school while also supporting connections to school peers and teachers. The collection of factors was labeled the PATH model of personalization and was conjunctively defined as the overlap of program, agency, time, and help. Overarching findings were threefold: (a) the learning process at school involved far less flexibility in content and assignments than anticipated, (b) that limited flexibility coincided with student learning and agency that extended to personal passions beyond the school program, and (c) flexible timing existed as a double-edged sword, providing students with the opportunity to structure their use of time and pursue passions of their choosing but also leaving them at risk of time management challenges and stalled academic progress. Implications are discussed for researchers, teachers and school leaders, and the field of gifted education.
