Effect Of Self-Evaluation And Teaching Setting On Teacher Intensity Behaviors Among Preservice Elementary Education Majors Enrolled In A Music Methods Course., Cynthia Melissa Colwell
Effect Of Self-Evaluation And Teaching Setting On Teacher Intensity Behaviors Among Preservice Elementary Education Majors Enrolled In A Music Methods Course., Cynthia Melissa Colwell
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of teaching setting and self-evaluation on the development of teacher intensity behaviors among preservice elementary education majors enrolled in a music methods course. Subjects (N = 44) completed a pre- and posttest and four treatment lessons which were videotaped and analyzed by the investigator using a behavioral checklist which was divided into three sections: Personal Delivery Skills, Accuracy of Instruction and Classroom Management. There were four treatment groups: peer/general, practicum/specific, practicum/general, or peer/specific. Peer teaching subjects taught in the university classroom while practicum subjects taught at a kindergarten. General self-evaluation …
Methodological Content And Teaching Delivery Used By Vocational Teacher Education Faculty In University Council And Other Selected Higher Education Institutions., Robert Barry Blair
Methodological Content And Teaching Delivery Used By Vocational Teacher Education Faculty In University Council And Other Selected Higher Education Institutions., Robert Barry Blair
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to identify the methodological content and teaching delivery used by vocational teacher education faculty in University Council for Vocational Education (UCVE) institutions and other selected higher education institutions (NON-UCVE). The population for this study was defined as: full-time vocational teacher education faculty in programs at Research I, Research II, and Doctorate Granting Colleges and Universities I where comprehensive vocational education programs were offered. Administrative leaders for each institution identified the vocational teacher education faculty which established the frame for the study. A stratified-random cluster sample of vocational teacher educators from UCVE institutions and NON-UCVE …
Use Of The History Of Science In A Nonscience Majors Course: Does It Affect Students' Understanding Of The Nature Of Science?, Linda Easley Roach
Use Of The History Of Science In A Nonscience Majors Course: Does It Affect Students' Understanding Of The Nature Of Science?, Linda Easley Roach
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
In response to a call for more research into using the history of science to teach the nature of science, a call for curriculum materials for inclusion of the nature of science in undergraduate nonscience majors courses, and in keeping with the nature of science described in the literature, interactive nature-of-science historical vignettes were utilized in a quantitative and qualitative investigation. Interactive nature-of-science historical vignettes employ the interrupted story form and binary opposites involving conflict to generate student participation and spark discussion about the nature of science. They were utilized as an experimental technique in a university level, introductory nonscience …
Investigation Of High School Chemistry Students' Concepts Of Chemical Symbol, Formula, And Equation: Students' Prescientific Conceptions., Ali Abdallah Al-Kunifed
Investigation Of High School Chemistry Students' Concepts Of Chemical Symbol, Formula, And Equation: Students' Prescientific Conceptions., Ali Abdallah Al-Kunifed
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This exploratory study investigated 11th grade high school chemistry students' understandings of the science concepts of chemical symbol, formula, equation, reaction, reactant, and product. It also investigated students' ideas about the meaning of plus sign, reaction sign, subscript, and coefficient. In addition, it attempted to assess the impact of students' prior mathematical knowledge on their understanding of these fundamental concepts. A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods were employed in a two-stage approach involving a preliminary study and a main study over one academic school year (1990-1991). The cooperating high school chemistry teacher was an active participant consultant throughout the …
