The Development And Evaluation Of A Children's Gospel Principles Course, Lynn R. Applegate
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis is the description, defense and critique of a course developed to teach gospel principles to 7- through 9-year-old children. The development process through which the course went, its formative evaluations and summative evaluation are described. The summative evaluation employed the pretest-posttest control group design. Thirty children, ages 7 through 9, were in the evaluation. After the pretest, 15 of the children were taught the 19-lesson course by their parents during a 23-day period.

Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to examine the two gubernatorial terms of J. Bracken Lee, Governor of Utah 1948-1956, and the effect he had on education during these years. Lee has been accused by his detractors of being opposed to education. He has been defended by his supporters as being a friend whose only desire was to have education operated on a sound fiscal basis. During his two terms as governor he was almost constantly involved in some dispute with the education people in the state and was frequently on the defensive against anti-education charges.

The Introduction Of Asian History Into Utah High Schools, Carol M. Hinckley
The Introduction Of Asian History Into Utah High Schools, Carol M. Hinckley
Theses and Dissertations
Asian history is increasingly recognized by experts as a necessary part of a high school student's world history experience.

To date, however, in Utah there are no separate Asian history courses being taught and few teachers include Asia as an important part of the world history course.
Schools in other parts of the nation have instituted practical Asian history courses and Utah can follow their example. Teachers should consider how much time can be devoted …

In an effort to solve the above problem among its membership, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has established a program of week-day religious instruction, commonly referred to as the "Seminary program." This organization is currently engaged in an …
