The effects of a community-based literacy program on young children's language and conceptual development.

Effects of a community-based literacy program on 1-, 2-, and 3-year-old children's language and conceptual development were assessed. University students were trained to teach Head Start parents effective methods for reading to their children. Families were randomly assigned to receive 18, 3, or 0 instructional visits. Results indicated that parents in the 18-instructional-visit program increased their participation in appropriate literacy behaviors such as reading to their children, teaching concepts to their children, and using the library, more than parents in the 0-instructional-visit groups. Children in the 18-instructional-visit program showed greater gains in language and conceptual development than children in the 0-instructional-visit group. Few differences were found between children in the 3-visit and 0-instructional-visit groups. Thus, only a high-intensity community-based intervention designed to train parents was effective in increasing emergent literacy in low-income ethnic children.

HyperDesigning: an instructional design model applied to the development of a HyperCard computer assisted instruction on intramuscular injection sites.

As more instructional software is designed by faculty, it becomes increasingly important, as well as time efficient, that faculty approach development of software from an instructional design perspective. Today, faculty can select among emerging technologies, and the future will undoubtedly present even more options. Educators who want to design their own computer assisted instruction (CAI) programs are frequently left to their own devices for instructional design. Instructional design models can provide helpful guidelines for selection and development of relevant programs. This article outlines the development of a faculty-designed software program using the Seels and Glasgow model of instructional design. The Seels and Glasgow model employs the essential components of analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation, and diffusion with iterative intermediary steps.

Sealants: training and educational needs for dental students and dental auxiliary students.

A program of instruction in pit and fissure sealants has been described that includes didactic, preclinical, and clinical components (Table 4). The entire program requires the equivalent of three curriculum days. However, reinforcement of the principles of the technic should continue during the students' entire clinical training period. There are 203 accredited dental hygiene programs and 285 accredited dental assistant programs in the United States. Enrollment in these programs during the 1982-83 academic year was 10,051 hygiene students and 7,977 assisting students. Since 29 states currently allow dental hygienists to apply sealants and 11 states allow dental assistants, there is a compelling reason for sealants to be included in the curriculum of dental auxiliary programs. Unfortunately, other than Dr. Terkla's brief survey, there is no reliable information on the number of auxiliary programs that teach sealants, nor are there curriculum guidelines on sealant instruction for these programs. Nevertheless, the same training outlined in this article for dental students applies equally for dental hygiene and assisting students. A controversial question is whether clinical training in sealant application should be part of the curriculum of dental auxiliary programs in states that only allow dentists to apply them. This is not a question that can be resolved in this article, but must be considered at the individual schools involved. In these situations, a careful balance must be achieved between the academic freedom to teach current practices in dentistry and the dental practice acts of the state. The first commercially available pit and fissure sealant was marketed in 1970.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
