Conflict Between Philosophical Beliefs About Language Arts Instruction and District Mandates WHOLE LANGUAGE TEACHERS: CONFLICT BETWEEN PHILOSOPHICAL BELIEFS ABOUT LANGUAGE ARTS INSTRUCTION AND DISTRICT MANDATES by CYNTHIA KELLEY TRUETT (Under the Direction of JoBeth Allen) ABSTRACT Teachers in the study were mandated to follow district and school mandates that were anti-thetical to their beliefs about literacy instruction. All of the participants had adopted the whole language philosophy, which informed their classroom practices. External forces such as changes in leadership as well as political and parental pressures caused new mandates to become imposed on their teaching practices. Extensive interviews were conducted to determine how these teachers dealt with such mandates. The results indicated that the teachers developed various coping strategies in an attempt to reconcile the incongruence between their beliefs about literacy instruction and mandates that were in opposition to those beliefs. The strategies used by the teachers consisted of compromise, giving up, direct compliance, appearance of compliance, closing the door and ignoring the mandates, and leaving the school system.

The process of writing this dissertation has been a long journey due to many curves life has thrown my way in the midst of trying to complete this study. There were many individuals along the way who helped me finally reach completion and I appreciate their support in helping me reach this long-standing goal. First of all, I want to thank my husband, Chuck, and my daughters, Kelli and Katie, for their continual support over these many years. Thanks for never doubting my goal to complete this study. I thank you for your interest, encouragement, the quiet writing time and for the times you pulled me away from writing to do other things. You have always been an important reminder of what is truly important in life. I could not have finished without your support, encouragement, patience, and interest in my study. I also want to thank my parents, Bob and Faye Kelley, for their steadfast belief in me, no matter what I attempt, and for their constant encouragement to complete this study. As an educator, I want to thank my mentor and Major Professor, Dr. JoBeth Allen, whose support of my study never waned and whose encouragement was a motivating force throughout the study.

Your input provided insight on ways to improve this study and make it relevant to current practices in literacy instruction. I v appreciate the longevity of your membership on my committee and your willingness to hang in there for the long haul. I want to thank several of my colleagues without whom this would not have been possible. I owe a huge thank you to Nancy Morrison and Stephanie Twitty Carmon for their support when I needed time off to analyze data. Your support of this time was a huge catalyst in allowing me to finish this project. Thank you for keeping all the pieces together in my absence. I also want to thank Kay Elder and Debra Ault-Butenko who have graciously endured working with a new principal while she attempted to complete a dissertation.

One group that kept the writing fires burning for me was my writing group. I want to thank the members of my writing group, Dr. Terry Burns, Dr. Shane Rayburn, Dr. Sara Angeletti, Dr. Jane Rogers and Mrs. Sharon Clark. You were all such a strong source of encouragement and support. Thank you for reading drafts, good and bad, and for allowing me to be part of your dissertation journey.

DESCRIPTORS *Educational History; *Educational Practices; Futures (of Society); Instructional Materials; *Reading Instruction; *Reading Processes; *Reading Research; Reading Skills; Teaching Methods IDENTIFIERS *Reading Theories ABSTRACT This paper discusses reading instruction in the 20th century. The paper begins with a tour of the historical pathways that have led people, at the century's end, to the "rocky and highly contested terrain educators currently occupy in reading pedagogy." After the author/educator unfolds his version of a map of that terrain in the paper, he speculates about pedagogical journeys that lie ahead in a new century and a new millennium. Although the focus is reading pedagogy, the paper seeks to connect the pedagogy to the broader scholarly ideas of each period. According to the paper, developments in reading pedagogy over the last century suggest that it is most useful to divide the century into thirds, roughly 1900-1935, 1935- 1970, and 1970-2000. The paper states that, as a guide in constructing a map of past and present, a legend is needed, a common set of criteria for examining ideas and practices in each period--several candidates suggest themselves, such as the dominant materials used by teachers in each period and the dominant pedagogical practices.

DESCRIPTORS Child Language; Literatureyeviews; Oral Language; Primary Education; *Reading Research; *Structural Analysis (Linguistics); Textbook Content; *Vocabulary; *Vocabulary Development; *Word Frequency; *Word Lists ABSTRACT To offer a historical perspective on vocabulary studies, this paper presents summaries, reviews, and critiques of vocabulary studies in chronological order of publication. The only variance from this format bre published rebuttals and/or critiques, which are presented immediately following the original studies. The paper is divided into two parts. Part one presents the "Early Studies: Pre-1950" and contains the studies thatwere published before 1950. Part two presents "More Recent Studies: Post-1950" and contains the studies published since 1950. No attempt is made to classify the studies except in historical sequence. Basically the studies are concerned with the reading, writing, and spoken vocabulary of yourTh children, in grades one, two, and three. Also, "original"'and primary sources are used, not secondary. Thepaper concludes With a summation of the studies, noting that while.the earlier studies were mainly concerned with an analysis of vocabulary through frequency word counts and comparison of previously published lists, the last three decades from the 1950s to the present give evidence of a shift in emphasis to a linguistic analysis of the language. An extensive bibliogtaphy is included.

Los alumnos de tercero, viajaron hasta un colegio situado en Ruan, una ciudad del noroeste de Francia. Meses después, alumnos franceses asistieron a nuestro colegio durante unos días. Todos coinciden en que fue una gran experiencia y la volverían a repetir. Los alumnos de bachillerato estuvieron en un colegio de Boston. Boston, es la capital del Estado de Massachusetts, y una de las ciudades más antiguas de los Estados Unidos.Las familias de estos alumnos, acogieron después a los estudiantes norteamericanos, para completar el intercambio. Un colegio de Dublín, próximo al mar, ha sido el destino de los estudiantes de cuarto de la E.S.O. ''Para mí, el intercambio con Irlanda ha sido una manera de aprender otra cultura y conocer cómo es estudiar en ese país, ya que cuando vas de turismo es algo que no sueles ver.
