Item Cultural communication problems experienced by Native American students of the Advance by Choice (ABC) program at Montana State University(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1990) Webber, Susan Ann; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Karen C. JacobsonItem The effect of learning style of Native Americans on achievement in academic subject areas in Montana tribal colleges(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1989) Atwell, Beverly ArleneBecause Native Americans have had difficulties in conventional college settings resulting in wide-spread attrition, this study investigated the effect of learning styles on achievement in subject areas of Native Americans in Montana tribal colleges. The Canfield Learning Style Inventory was administered to 693 students. A one-way analysis of variance was used to investigate the differences in achievement depending on learning style in each of eight subject areas of Liberal Arts, Science, Mathematics, Business, Vocational, Native American Studies, Developmental, and Physical Education. Tukey a priori post tests were performed on all significant differences. Significant differences at the .05 level were found in all eight subject areas. A total of 39 significant differences were found. These differences suggest that learning styles contribute to the success of the Native American student in all subject areas. Native American students should be made aware of learning style strengths, and should receive counseling on learning strategies. Instructors should use a variety of teaching methods. Overall conclusions suggest that since most students can learn, changes need to be made to teaching-learning methods, grading, and staff development. Areas for further research include similar studies with other ethnic and age populations, replication using larger samples in mathematics and science, and use of results along with learning strategies to counsel students to see if such counseling would produce better achievement.Item Perceptions of Native American women in college of the impact of the teachers' attitudes and the classroom environment on their K-12 learning(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1999) Parker, KoleenItem Factors that enabled success of Native American baccalaureate nursing graduates at Montana State University from 1986 to 1995(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1997) Yurkovich, Eleanor EloiseItem Native American students' perceptions of counselor effectiveness at Montana State University(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1983) Dynneson, Verla VesterItem Listening to the student voice : a case study of the Little Big Horn College Mission(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1996) St. Pierre, Nathaniel RickItem Predicting retention of adult university students(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1996) Waldo, Susan MarusiakItem Learning strategies in the Fort Peck Reservation community(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1997) Bighorn, RobinItem A study of selected characteristics of successful and unsuccessful American Indian students enrolled at Montana State University from September, 1967 to June, 1972(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1974) Voyich, Daniel LouisItem An investigation of learning strategy, selected characteristics, and achievement of tribal college students in Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1992) Hill, Michael Joseph
