Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities, 1981.

Involved in this study were one hundred students, content area teachers and reading specialist at an urban community college. First the need for a program of specialized vocabulary words was established; then the writing of performance goals in priority order was done according to a student-teacher survey. Next a specialized vocabulary textbook was designed including pre tests, words definitions and practice exercises. After this, the newly created book Basic Vocabulary for the Behavioral Sciences: Sociology and Psychology was pilot tested with summer school students. Adjustments were made where necessary.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Involved in this study were one hundred students, content area teachers and reading specialist at an urban community college. First the need for a program of specialized vocabulary words was established; then the writing of performance goals in priority order was done according to a student-teacher survey. Next a specialized vocabulary textbook was designed including pre tests, words definitions and practice exercises. After this, the newly created book Basic Vocabulary for the Behavioral Sciences: Sociology and Psychology was pilot tested with summer school students. Adjustments were made where necessary.
520 $a The following fall semester, one hundred students who were enrolled in both a reading and at least one course in the behavioral sciences were designated as control and experimental groups of fifty each. The groups were matched as closely as possible by reading level, course load, and age. Both groups were instructed in reading skills; the experimental group was taught specialized vocabulary of the behavioral sciences while the control group was taught traditional vocabulary-development techniques.
520 $a At the end of the semester, pertinent data were collected and the results analyzed by the use of an F Test to determine if students who had completed a specially designed reading course which developed specialized vocabulary achieved a significantly higher grade at the .05 level in a psychology or sociology course than did comparable students who had been taught traditional vocabulary development techniques.
520 $a Statistical analyses indicate that students taught specialized vocabulary unique to the behavioral sciences and concurrently enrolled in psychology classes achieve significantly higher passing grades than do comparable students taught traditional vocabulary techniques. However, students taught specialized vocabulary of the behavioral sciences and are concurrently enrolled in sociology classes show no significant differences in passing grades when compared to students taught traditional vocabulary development techniques.
520 $a Reasons for this difference in results vary, but it is suggested that the major cause may be found in the instructional techniques used. In sociology, concepts are developed by class discussion, while in psychology, concepts are taught by the use of textbooks and lectures. Therefore, it can be inferred from this study that instruction in specialized vocabulary is an effective alternative to the teaching of traditional vocabulary development techniques for courses that are taught by lecture and textbook.
