In The Tristate Area Consisting Of Kansas, Missouri, And Oklahoma, A Local And State Level Comparison Of High School Chemistry Prerequisites, High School Chemistry Instructor Preparation, And The Readiness Of A High School Student For College Chemistry, Greg Howard
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this thesis is to create an awareness among secondary and post-secondary instructors as to the student’s preparation in high school Chemistry I and the student’s readiness for General Chemistry I in college for a tristate area consisting of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Student preparation in this research included chemistry I course prerequisites, high school chemistry teacher qualifications including preparation, and student exposure to rigorous science and math course patterns in high school as these relate to college readiness.
Data was gathered from a local cohort group consisting of high schools in Southeast Kansas (SEK), Southwest Missouri (SWM), …
Mathematical Operations Used In Ordinary Occupations And Suggestions For Incorporating Them In High-School Mathematics, W. R. Binns
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to determine the type problems in algebra, geometry, and general mathematics that are most frequently used by high school graduates. The applicability of these mathematical operations to ordinary problems of daily life is to be decided by means of a survey among high school graduates who have had courses in algebra and geometry. An enumeration and analysis of the type problems that are most used by these graduates will give a much better conception of what should be taught in a general mathematics course. This investigation proposes to apply the criterion of usability in …
The Relative Merits Of Teaching Schorling And Clark Mathematics Without The Aid Of Drill, Compared To Teaching It With The Aid Of Two Kinds Of Drill, Edward E. Royse
The Relative Merits Of Teaching Schorling And Clark Mathematics Without The Aid Of Drill, Compared To Teaching It With The Aid Of Two Kinds Of Drill, Edward E. Royse
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
This study attempts two things: (1) to find if Schorling and Clark Modern Mathematics, one of the adopted texts of Kansas, provides enough drill in the eighth grade; and (2) to weigh the value of two kinds of drill, viz., a flash-card machine and a drill test book.
