This project represents the comprehensive study of architectural duties on an archaeological excavation known as the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis. This project is meant to serve as an overview of the duties and expectations of an architectural staff member for recruitment and enrichment purposes. The project is divided into 5 main categories: The Sardis Architecture Manual, recruitment lecture transcript, an exhibit of Ball State University staff and student work pertaining to the excavation, an analysis of the future of architectural recording at Sardis, and process work done in the completion of the project.In the future, the Archaeological Exploration of Sardis may not have the necessary Senior Architects to train the new Student Architects from Ball State University. It is hoped that this project will allow new Architect staff members to properly perform the duties pertaining to an archaeological excavation with a minimum of training from senior members. / Department of Architecture

This creative project is a handbook for teaching language arts by the use of mass media concepts. It is divided into four sections: radio (audio), television (video), newspaper, and magazine (printed media) with a total of 33 exercises. Exercises are based on commonly accepted program and sectional breakdowns of the mass media. Exercises are divided into twelve parts: (1) Title, (2) Medium, (3) Description (This is a. synopsis of the exercise.), (4) language Arts Tie-ins (This explains some of the direct applications of the exercise.), (5) Purpose and Objectives, (6) Materials and Equipment, (7) Advance Preparation, (8) Preliminary Activities, (9) Review Skills and Background Information (This suggests the academic material that could be presented.), (10) Activity Procedures, (11) Time Required, and (12) Additional Assignments (These have been included in appropriate areas.)The handbook is to be used by language arts teachers to supplement their classroom program and serve as a motivational tool. Exercises are designed so that teachers can use the handbook using whatever equipment is available.

Mathematics is regarded as a driving force in economies worldwide. The performance of South African learners in mathematics over the past decade has highlighted that problems are being experienced across all grades. This situation needs to be addressed with urgency. The South African Department of Education stated that quality learning must be the objective for all grades. The implementation of good teaching practices plays a crucial role in improving the quality of education and in guiding learners towards quality learning. To achieve quality mathematics teaching and learning it is imperative to determine what good mathematics teaching practices are. The identification of good mathematic teaching practices will provide a yard stick to measure the mathematics teaching competency of teachers. This study identifies a set of good mathematics teaching practice indicators and evidences applicable to teachers in the Intermediate phase as a first contribution. These indicators and evidences frame the second research contribution: an assessment instrument entitled “A Classroom Observation Tool for Observing Mathematics Teaching Practices in Primary Schools”. As a third research contribution a generic profile of a Grade four mathematics teacher has been built. This generic profile has been built through an analysis of data gathered by means of self-assessment questionnaires completed by the research sample, as well as through applying the observation tool. The value of the generic profile lies in the identification of shared strengths and shared improvement opportunities in the mathematics teaching practice of the sample and as such, it forms the basis of a theory on Grade four mathematics teaching practice. The fourth research contribution is the design and application of an intervention that addresses the shared improvement opportunities. The research study concludes by comparing pre-intervention classroom observation data with post-intervention classroom observation data and reporting on the impact of the intervention.

1. Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual model for a marketing approach for administering community colleges. This model was based on Eugene McCarthy's marketing model which provides for emphasizing customer needs and developing the product, price, promotion, and place variables in relationship to customer needs and institutional resources. The concept of the model was developed as an operational tool in the form of a handbook for marketing the community college. 2. Methods and Procedures: The literature and "juries of experts" were used to develop the criteria for and content of the handbook. After the literature review two community college presidents were interviewed to determine the criteria for the handbook. Using the literature and the interview findings an outline, Preface, and one chapter were written and sent to six community college presidents for review and comments. The entire handbook was then written, using the literature, the jury members' criteria for acceptance and the researcher's knowledge of marketing. A draft of the handbook was sent to twenty-one college administrators and faculty, along with a ten-question, open ended questionnaire. The reviews of this jury were summarized for the purpose of revising the handbook. 3. Conclusions: Although there is a growing interest in the use of marketing techniques by community college administrators, most of them do not know the proper procedures to use in order to accomplish their marketing goals. There was not a handbook, book, or manual available that addressed the entire procedure for marketing the community college. The handbook which was developed during this study was judged by the reviewers to be of value to the community college administrator who is interested in using marketing techniques. / Ed. D.

In 1991, the NCAA created Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success (CHAMPS)/Life Skills (NCAA, 2005). The CHAMPS/Life Skills program concentrates on five areas: Academic Commitment, Athletic Commitment, Personal Development Commitment, Career Development Commitment, and Service Commitment (NCAA, 2005). Very few amendments and modifications have been made to the CHAMPS/Life Skills educational material since the program was developed. In the present creative thesis project, revisions and updates were implemented to the current material to satisfy the needs of collegiate student-athletes. Hence, the purpose of this creative thesis project was to update the Academic Commitment module within the CHAMPS/Life Skills manual. Specifically, the Time Management and Study Skills components were revised. These revisions were evaluated by three university professors. In conclusion, the present creative thesis project will assist in presenting CHAMPS/Life Skills material to student-athletes. / School of Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science
