Peer Tutoring To Increase Mathematics Performance: An Examination Of Generalized Changes In Classroom Behavior., Malinda Lee Mckenzie
Student Work
A peer-tutoring package was implemented to improve the accuracy of mathematics performance of two students, aged 11 and 14 years, in an engineered school classroom. A reversal design was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of peer tutoring for one student, with subsequent extension of the tutoring package to the second student. Examinations were made of changes in accuracy as a result of tutoring, as well as the correlated effects of treatment on on-task and disruptive behavior. Investigations were also conducted of the generalized effects of treatment to another math period (with similar problems) in which tutoring was never implemented, differentiated …

A Study Of The Relationships Between The Wallach & Kogan Tests Of Creativity, The Barron-Welsh Art Scale And Ego Strength, Gail L. Sunderman
Student Work
A test of the Wallach and Kogan Tests of Creativity was conducted using the Barron Welsh Art Scale as a criterion of creativity. The Wallach and Kogan Tests measure verbal fluency and uniqueness of ideas, supposedly the basis of creative behavior. The Barron-Welsh Art Scale, on the other hand, differentiates known creative people from non-creative along a dimension of preference complexity or simplicity. The Barron Ego Strength Scale was included as a measure of a trait found to be higher in creative people than in the normal population. High intercorrelations between the three measures were hypothesized. No relationship was found, …
