Effects Of Simulation On Cognitive Achievement In Agriculture M Echanics, David M. Agnew, Glen C. Shinn

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

Teachers constantly face the decision of how to design instruction which will best meet the needs of the learner. These decisions include selecting methods and techniques. The selection process requires not only that the teacher be aware of how to use various techniques, but that he/she know which types of students learn best with various techniques, which techniques should be used under various conditions and what levels or types of information can best be learned using various techniques.

Self-Study Report: 01 Schedule & Introduction

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Materials and History

The five year Comprehensive Department Review provides the Department with a special opportunity to do two things -- to look back on accomplishments of the past five years since our last review, and to look ahead toward the goals, the challenges and the opportunities in the years ahead.

The Department of Agricultural Education took bold steps at a staff retreat in Aurora, Nebraska in the summer of 1987, to establish departmental priorities or program "thrusts." Little did we realize at the time that we were taking steps that would soon be followed by all units within the Institute of Agriculture …

Self-Study Report: 02 General Information

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Materials and History

Agriculture and agribusiness are Nebraska's dominant industries. Ninety-six percent (47.1 million acres) of the state's land area is occupied by 55,000 farms and ranches. Over one-half of the states workers depend upon agriculture and business for their livelihood. The average growing season ranges from 170 days in southeast Nebraska to 120 days in the northwest. Underneath Nebraska is stored nearly 2 billion acre-feet of water, and in Nebraska we receive an average of 90 million acre-feed of precipitation yearly.

Approximately 17 million acres are utilized as cropland, of which approximately 8 million are irrigated. Corn, soybeans, winter wheat, and sorghum …

Self-Study Report: 03 Strategic Plans

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Materials and History

Much time and effort have gone into the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR) and the Department of Agricultural Education's strategic planning effort. Coincidentally, the Department had started its own process of strategic planning in the summer of 1987 where it identified the four departmental "thrust" areas.

The IANR process was started in the fall of 1987 by the Vice Chancellor Omtvedt of the Institute and was to be followed by a series of meetings, not only within the Institute, but with town hall meetings around Nebraska, to ensure a broad representation of input regarding future directions of IANR. …

Self-Study Report: 07 Center For Leadership Development

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Materials and History

According to Naisbett and Aburdene (Reinventing the Corporation, 1985) it will be the management of human resources rather than management of economic resources that will determine-the margin of success for organizations in the future. In addition, the recently (1988) published report from Stanford Research Institute (SRI) International, called "New Seeds for Nebraska," indicated that skilled and adaptable human resources are a major area where action is needed to give Nebraska the competitive advantage in tomorrow's economy. The report encouraged the University of Nebraska to be more proactive in developing the human resource capital available in the state. The Center for …

Representations Of The Self In Social Phobia: Vulnerability To Social Threat, Debra A. Hope, Ronald M. Rapee, Richard G. Heimberg, Mark J. Dombeck

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

A revised Stroop color-naming task was used to test hypotheses derived from Beck’s cognitive theory of anxiety disorders which proposes that social phobics are hypervigilant to social-evaluative threat cues. Color-naming latencies for social and physical threat words were compared to matched neutral words for both social phobics and individuals with panic disorder. As predicted, social phobics showed longer latencies for social threat words, and panickers had longer latencies for physical threat words. Latency for color-naming social threat words correlated with self-reported avoidance among social phobics. These results are consistent with Beck’s notion of self-schemata which facilitate the processing of threat …

Dsm-Iii-R Subtypes Of Social Phobia: Comparison Of Generalized Social Phobics And Public Speaking Phobics, Richard G. Heimberg, Debra A. Hope, Cynthia S. Dodge, Robert E. Becker

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Social phobic patients who fear most or all social interaction situations are labeled generalized social phobics in DSM-III-R. Thirty-five patients who met this criterion were compared with 22 social phobic patients whose fears were restricted to public-speaking situations. Generalized social phobics were younger, less educated, and less likely to be employed, and their phobias were rated by clinical interviewers as more severe than those of public-speaking phobics. Generalized social phobics appeared more anxious and more depressed and expressed greater fears concerning negative social evaluation. They performed more poorly on individualized behavioral tests and differed from public-speaking phobics in their responses …

Cognitive Behavioral Group Treatment For Social Phobia: Comparison With A Credible Placebo Control, Richard G. Heimberg, Cynthia S. Dodge, Debra A. Hope, Charles R. Kennedy, Linda J. Zollo, Robert E. Becker

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Forty-nine patients participated in a study comparing cognitive-behavioral group treatment (CBGT) for social phobia with a credible placebo control. CBGT consisted of exposure to simulated phobic events, cognitive restructuring of maladaptive thoughts, and homework for self-directed exposure and cognitive restructuring between sessions. Control patients received a treatment package consisting of lecture-discussion and group support that was comparable to CBGT on measures of treatment credibility and outcome expectations. At pretest, posttest, and 3- and 6-month follow-ups, patients completed assessments that included clinician ratings, self-report measures, and behavioral physiological and cognitive-subjective measures derived from a behavioral simulation of a personally relevant phobic …

Centennial On The Northen Plains: An Introduction, George Mcgovern

Great Plains Quarterly

Although I am now sixty-eight years old, I have thought of myself during the past half century since my eighteenth birthday as a young man. Perhaps that is partly because I have been blessed with good health and personal vigor, but it may also be because I was born and reared in a young State. South Dakota was only thirtytwo years old when I first came on the scene at Avon in 1922. My father, a pioneer Dakota clergyman, whom I always thought of as an old man, was born in 1868--twenty-one years before South Dakota achieved statehood. He knew …

Review Of Women With Vision: The Presentation Sisters Of South Dakota, 1880-1985, Sandra Schackel

Great Plains Quarterly

In the mid-eighteenth century, a young Irish woman, Nano Nagle, renounced her wealthy upper-class background and dedicated herself to ministering to the poor. Her belief in "women's potential as nurturers and ethical models for children" prompted her to establish several schools for needy boys and girls as well as to minister to the sick. After Nagle's death, the order she founded in 1776 became known as the Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and as part of a growing movement among Catholics in America in the ineteenth century, the Presentation sisters expanded their outreach to the American …

"Proving Up And Moving Up": Jewish Homesteading Activity In North Dakota, 1900-1920, Janet E. Schulte

Great Plains Quarterly

In the spring of 1908, Morris Zemsky, a Russian- Jewish immigrant homesteading in Ashley, North Dakota, sent a letter to the Industrial Removal Office (IRO) of the Baron de Hirsch Fund in New York. Joseph Kaminer, Secretary of the Ashley Farmer's Bureau, wrote the note for Zemsky, who spoke only Yiddish. The letter requested advice on the condition of Zemsky's parents "who are now in New York and are actually starving to death. As they are several in the family and no one of them can find work."¹ Zemsky requested the IRO to send his parents to his North …

The Segesser Hide Paintings: History, Discovery, Art, Thomas E. Chávez

Great Plains Quarterly

T here is no doubt that the Segesser hide paintings are among the most novel and important artifacts of the Spanish Colonial history of New Mexico. As aesthetic works they are striking and as hide paintings they are unique. As historical documents they have already sparked revisions in historical interpretation of the period, providing valuable information on significant factors such as modes of warfare, uniforms and clothing, and the war panoply of the Plains Indians. As artifacts, they are among the most valuable acquisitions made by the Museum of New Mexico. Most important, their presence in the Palace of the …

The Hispanic Presence On The Great Plains: An Introduction, Miguel A. Carranza

Great Plains Quarterly

In April 1989, the Center for Great Plains Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln sponsored its thirteenth annual symposium on the topic "The Hispanic Presence on the Great Plains." Scholars from across the United States and Mexico presented papers on a wide variety of topics covering the history, culture, politics, and images of people of Spanish origin on the Great Plains. These presentations focused on the Hispanic presence from the early Spanish explorers who entered the southern fringes of the Great Plains, to the vast migrations of Mexicans coming to "EI Norte" beginning in the early 1900s, to the creation …

Review Of Tejanas And The Numbers Game: A Socia-Historical Interpretation From The Federal Censuses, 1850-1900., Camilo A. Martínez

Prior to this work did we have a well-balanced portrayal of the Tejano (Mexican American) who resided in the South, Central, and West Texas counties during the last half of the nineteenth century? Evidently not.

Review Of The Good Red Road: Passages Into Native America., Raymond J. Demallie

Great Plains Quarterly

In John G. Neihardt's Black Elk Speaks, the red road represents the path of life, of peace, and of the continuity of the generations. To many American Indians today it stands for the old, traditional ways, a state of being in harmony with the universe. In this book, the symbol of the red road has been generalized to embrace all humanity, a deeply-felt psychological sense of oneness and balance that serves as counterpoint to the frenetic lifestyle of modem America.

Review Of Historical Atlas Of Texas., Frederick C. Luebke

Great Plains Quarterly

This volume, the latest in a well-known series published by the University of Oklahoma Press, offers sixty-four topics relating to the history and geography of Texas with accompanying maps. The first six topics outline basic geographic characteristics-location, topography, physio-graphical regions, rainfall, and native plant life. Then follow two dozen maps that treat topics antedating the annexation of Texas by the United States in 1845. They include the route followed by various explorers from Cabeza de Vaca in the sixteenth century to the James Long expeditions of 1819-22, as well as several topics relating to the Republic of Texas, 1836. The …

Review Of The Shortgrass Prairie, James H. Locklear

Great Plains Quarterly

Perhaps the most poorly known and least appreciated ecosystem in all of the U.S. is the shortgrass prairie. It is not as though this vegetation type only occurs in a limited area of the country. Shortgrass prairie dominates the landscape of an enormous region stretching from Canada to New Mexico. Why is there so little understanding of this expansive grassland? Perhaps it is because few people have bothered to write about it. Ruth Cushman and Stephen Jones took on this task and we may be thankful to have their book, The Shortgrass Prairie.
