  Two hundred students in an undergraduate physical geography course were assigned to a group which received either factually oriented quizzes or quizzes which stressed higher level behaviors such as application and analysis. Evaluation of the results indicated that the variation in testing procedures had no discernable effect on student scores in the course. (MLH)

  Effects of Curriculum Maps and Guiding Questions on the Test Performance of Adolescents with Learning Disabilities
  Previous research on students with learning disabilities has indicated that they benefit most from explicit instruction. However, few studies have examined how explicit instruction may be translated to the logistical demands associated with large-group instruction in high school general education settings in ways that are socially acceptable to high school teachers. This intervention study evaluated the effects of two types of explicit instruction, curriculum maps and guiding questions, compared to the use of simple reviews of repeated information. Each was used to teach core curriculum content in a group-instruction format with 30 high school students with learning disabilities. A repeated-measures research design was used. Results of the comparison of student test scores associated with the three interventions indicated that the use of the curriculum maps significantly enhanced learning for students with learning disabilities more than guiding questions, and the use of guiding questions enhanced learning more than simple reviews of repeated information. Based on these findings, core curriculum general education teachers may be able to begin making their instruction more explicit and powerful by incorporating simple routines comprised of the use of curriculum maps to depict the importance and structure of the content and using these maps to lead and review learning through guided and interactive questioning.

  This article draws from a phenomenological study on the experience of being a bereavement counselor. Ten bereavement counselors shared their experiences in bereavement counseling. Spiritual and emotional aspects of bereavement counseling with grieving and dying persons are discussed as well as the spiritual effects on and growth processes of the bereavement counselors. Participants also describe their self-care strategies pertaining to their bereavement counseling work. For the purpose of this article, bereavement counseling comprises provision of support and psychotherapy to those who have experienced the death of a loved one as well as those who are preparing to die. The preponderance of literature indicates providing bereavement counseling carries a risk for personal suffering. Kassan (1996) interviewed 60 therapists and found that his participants cited death as one of the most difficult topics to discuss with clients, noting the clinicians' memories and experiences seemed to interfere with the therapy. Because of the lack of information about positive experiences of bereavement counselors in the literature, the basic research question in the current study was "What are the lived experiences of bereavement counselors?" The overall topic of experience was broken down into subsidiary questions focused on the thoughts, emotions, physical feelings, memories, behaviors, effect on the counselor's life, and any other aspect of bereavement counseling the participants chose to share.
