The effect of remedial teaching on children with learning disabilities.

A study of questionnaires completed by the parents and class teachers of 70 children with learning diabilities revealed evidence of considerable parental satisfaction with scholastic progress and improved behaviour. These advances were attended by a significant reduction in domestic tension and concern about the children's future. However, teacher ratings indicate that despite prolonged remedial teaching more than half of the group remained at a scholastic level below the average class performance.

Social inhibition and motor skill performance in first, third and fifth grade children.

A systematic literature search over a period of 7 years yielded 28 articles about social inhibition with few of them addressing the relationship between social and motor functioning. Two sets of empirical data are reported. Firstly, a replication of the study performed by Zimmer in 1981 on the relationship between social inhibition and motor skill performance has been carried out with first, third and fifth grade children. Contrary to Zimmer's (1981) earlier findings with pre-school children, no relationship was found between motor skills test and social inhibition at any of the three age levels studied. Secondly, a group of children who attended extra physical education classes because of delay in motor performance (called "motoric remedial teaching") was found to score significantly lower on the motor skills test and higher on the social inhibition scale than a matched group of classmates. These findings indicate that although social inhibition appears not to be related to motor skill performance in the normal population, a significant relationship is present in a special sample of motorically delayed children.

Minimal brain dysfunction.

The syndrome of minimal brain dysfunction is found in at least 5% of South African schoolchildren. The aetiology and pathology of this entity are uncertain. Presenting features include hyperactive behaviour, problems of fine motor co-ordination, learning disabilities and certain 'soft' neurological signs. Skilled remedial teaching is the mainstay of successful management.

A critical look at geriatrics in a teaching hospital. Part II. The remedy.

Measures to improve the organization of geriatric care in South Africa are recommended after a study of overseas methods. The necessity for a geriatric unit in a teaching hospital is stressed, for the specific purposes of education of medical and paramedical personnel, and the linkage of hospital and community facilities.

A preparatory course for medical students who lack a conventional academic background.

McMaster University School of Medicine admits students who may not have had an extensive education in physics, chemistry, and biology. For several years a short preliminary course was offered to those students. The course has since been discontinued, and its objectives have been incorporated into the M.D. program. This approach has been taken in an attempt to conform to the educational policy of the program. However, since the course was seen to be highly successful and, therefore, may be of use to others, its objectives and teaching methods are described.

ODWIN expansion program: a study in success.

Of 182 students who successfully completed an eight-week program for high school graduates with marginal credentials and who were admitted to schools of nursing, 125 (69 percent) subsequently received degrees or certificates. This success rate compares favorably with national and regional norms. This study documents the marginality of the students' credentials and evaluates their success rates. Of 11 academic variables correlated with successful completion of nursing programs, the two subjective evaluations of each student by the academic personnel teaching the eight-week program were the only variables to reach significance (p = .01).

Evaluation of a program of systematic instructional procedures for extremely poor retarded children.

A demonstration program was conducted in which 54 innercity children classified as educable mentally retarded were selected on the basis of age, IQ, family income, race, and achievement scores. They were then placed into self-contained classrooms with two classes being taught by precision-teaching procedures and two classes being taught by the methods particular to their teachers. Tesults showed that a high percentage (60 percent) of the children taught by precision-teaching procedured were capable of acquiring the basic skills necessary for regular-class placement.

Let's talk about it. Using conversation to facilitate language development.

For centuries, educators have searched for the best way to teach language to deaf students. Throughout this time period, no one specific approach has emerged. In this article, we examine and justify the use of conversational approaches to teach language to deaf students. Classrooms for deaf students are often not conducive to conversation. We suggest that to promote conversation in classrooms, teachers must reexamine how they teach as well as how they structure their classrooms and curriculums. The article closes with descriptions of activities that teachers can use to encourage conversation in their classrooms.

The autistic label and its potentially detrimental effect on the child's treatment.

This study asks whether adults teach a child labeled "autistic" differently from a child labeled "normal". Twenty undergraduate college students served as student-teachers. Results showed that the student-teachers gave significantly more praise and reward marbles for incorrect responses, as well as significantly less verbal correction, when the child was labeled "autistic". The inference is that such treatment could make it more difficult for the autistic child to acquire new skills.
