Utilizing film as a teaching tool in a personal leadership development course helped undergraduate students synthesize authentic leadership concepts. "Iron Jawed Angels" facilitated the culminating lesson as students applied course concepts to an observed leader. Three objectives guided the final lesson: (a) critique Alice Paul's…

This paper introduces a new model to represent how individuals can develop a deepened understanding of both a foreign culture and of their own culture as a result of viewing and engaging with foreign media, and in particular foreign films and television series. The model emerged from data collected in a study of how Chinese university students…

Examines the role of modeling and social reciprocity in the regulation of young boys' aggressive actions. Tested in pairs, 100 first- and second-grade students were assigned to five experimental conditions differing in whether one or both boys saw a film depicting aggression directed toward persons or toward inanimate objects.

Two groups of fourth graders performed a science activity. The treatment group first watched a filmed explanation of the activity by selected students from the class; the control group did not watch the film. The treatment group generated significantly more positive behaviors and less negative behaviors in the activity. (MLH)

Since vision is the main source of perceptual information, this study attempted to assess the effect of motion information on the ability of ninety-two, first-grade children to analyze and depict spatial relationships. Three groups of children received either motion picture or stationary visual training to compare motion effects with methods more…

Reviews literature related to modeling in a rehabilita- tive setting. Suggests modeling effectiveness is influenced by sex, prestige, and able-bodiedness of the models. Both live and film models prove effective. Modeling is applicable to social, emotional, educational, and vocational problems. Different disability groups react to models in…

Since the publication of their seminal article entitled, "Transmission of Aggression Through Imitation of Aggressive Models" (Bandura, Ross, & Ross, 1961), the work of Albert Bandura and his co-authors has had an immeasurable impact on the field of psychology, in general, and educational psychology, more specifically. The purpose of this report is…

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of motion pictures utilizing black models on the self-concept of black fourth and sixth grade students; that perhaps, mediated black models may be effective in bringing about a more positive self-concept among black students. The design of this study was of the post-test form only. This was…

The paper defines and assesses a concept acquisition model for describing the behavior processes through which conceptual-observational instruction influences teaching behavior. This model is contrasted with two other views of the relationship between this mode of instruction and performance: an imitative behavior model and a behavior labeling…
