    A STUDY OF THE IDENTIFICATION OF CORE CONTENT OF TECHNICAL COURSES IN THREE ALLIED HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES Peggy Ann Bensman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY March 1975 BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY il ABSTRACT The study was undertaken to determine if there were a common core of content included in the technical courses of dental hygiene programs at the certificate or associate degree level and nursing and radiologic technology programs at the associate degree level. The study also ascertained whether there were possible additions or deletions to content that was being taught in these programs. The information was obtained through a questionnaire survey which was sent to the directors of all of the three types of programs in the United States. Five levels were used to determine the amount of emphasis placed on each item of content. Two cores of common con­ tent were identified: core A which included content on which 75% or more of the respondents placed average or greater emphasis and core B which included content on which 51% or more of the respondents placed average or more emphasis . Thirty-two items of content were analyzed as to whether they were common to two or three of the programs under investigation. The findings revealed that seventeen items of content were common to the three programs at the core A level and twenty-three at the core B level. Six were common to two programs at the core A level and eight at the core B level.

    CARLOW ROUNDTABLE PROCEEDINGS 1 THE CARLOW UNIVERSITY PRESS 2 3 CARLOW ROUNDTABLE 2017 PROCEEDINGS THE CARLOW UNIVERSITY PRESS 4 Mercy: The Story Continues THE SEVENTH CARLOW ROUNDTABLE The Seventh Carlow Roundtable bore the marks of all those that preceded it: shared scholarship, comradery, mutual discovery, enrichment. We came together as scholars from diverse disciplines and research backgrounds with a common interest in the mission of Mercy education and an exchange of ideas, information, and methodologies. We gathered in the first Mercy classroom in Mercy International Centre and at Glendalough—a fifth century monastic settlement renowned for wisdom and learning. With these shared interests and in these settings laden with meaning, we did the work of the Roundtable. The following papers offer a glimpse of the richness that flows from such common purpose and common inspiration. 5 Contents 6 Sustainability in Higher Education: A Marriage of Necessity and Mercy Mission Tracy K.
