The Effect Of Time-Threat On An Arithmetic Test Situation, Russell Dean Flaskerud
The Effect Of Time-Threat On An Arithmetic Test Situation, Russell Dean Flaskerud
All Master's Theses
There has been a difference of opinion regarding whether or not timing tests of ability is advantageous or hinders performance. Much experimentation has been done in the area of intelligence testing, but little has been done on actual classroom-type testing. The results of timing intelligence tests have been varied with little agreement among the studies. The purpose of this study was (1) to test the effect of time-threat on the performance of eighty-two sixth grade students taking an arithmetic test, and (2) to investigate the effect of time-threat on students of different arithmetic abilities.

Final Examination Scores In Algebra As A Function Of Retesting, Otto Francis Ruud
Final Examination Scores In Algebra As A Function Of Retesting, Otto Francis Ruud
All Master's Theses
Many teachers as well as students feel that our system of evaluation is far from perfect, but these same people have offered no alternative workable plan which would in whole or in part relieve the objections. Hopefully this study will demonstrate a philosophy of the teaching of mathematics in conjunction with a companion plan of evaluation which will relieve many of the basic objections while at the same time produce more learning. The philosophy that a more cooperative attitude in regard to assignments, testing, and make-up work are more conducive to learning is the basic aspect of this study. It …

The Effects Of Contingency Management On Reading Achievement Of Institutionalized Offenders, Forest J. C. Hertlein
The Effects Of Contingency Management On Reading Achievement Of Institutionalized Offenders, Forest J. C. Hertlein
All Master's Theses
The hypotheses to be tested in this study are concerned with the use of contingency management. In general, the theory states that behavior normally occurring at a low rate may increase when it is followed by activities which are highly desirable to the student (Premack, 1965). Also suggested in the theory is that a response does not have a zero operant level (Bijou and Baer, 1961). It was assumed, then, that institutionalized offenders enrolled in remedial reading classes have an operant level of some degree for a specific response that could be strengthened by positively reinforcing that response. Because the …
