A Comparison Of Two Methods Of Teaching Computer Programming To Secondary Mathematics Students., Mary Diane Bodin Calamari
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study was formulated in order to gain information about the effectiveness of two methods of instructing secondary mathematics students in introductory computer programming. Investigation of programming instruction in a reduced period of time was a major component of the study for those educators who choose to teach programming as a portion of a mathematics course must do so under time constraints. The research was conducted in three public secondary schools in St. Mary Parish in Louisiana. The subjects were enrolled in an algebra II or a geometry class during the spring semester of the 1982-83 academic year. An experimental-control …

Effects Of Teachers' Use Of Mastery Learning Techniques On The Minimum Competency Test Performance Of Rural Second-Grade Students (Louisiana)., Betty Becker Gatipon
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study tested the effects of having teachers use mastery learning techniques in preparing rural second-grade students for the Louisiana minimum competency test. Experimental teachers were trained in the use of mastery learning and assisted in planning instruction that applied the strategies, particularly formative testing and corrective teaching. Each skill in the Louisiana minimum competency curriculum was taught by the regular classroom teacher, according to the Louisiana Basic Skills Test Specifications: Grade 2. Initial instruction was similar in methods and materials in all classrooms as was time spent on instruction. Experimental teachers concluded each lesson with a formative test. Corrective …
A Study Of Reading Achievement In Terms Of Symbol Reversals In First Grade Children (Louisiana)., Bernard Leon Heydorn
A Study Of Reading Achievement In Terms Of Symbol Reversals In First Grade Children (Louisiana)., Bernard Leon Heydorn
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study was designed to investigate reading achievement in first grade children who are symbol reversers vs non-reversers and who are male vs female, and also to determine the effectiveness of a modification of the Kirshner Program (1977) in reducing symbol reversals. The sample was comprised of 115 first grade children in seven classes in two schools in East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The students were selected from a number of volunteer grade one classes on the basis of their being representative of the district at large in terms of racial composition and socioeconomic factors. The study used a randomized …
