A Syllabus Of Enrichment Activities To Enhance Content Area Reading In Science, Lynn Carol Swanson
A Syllabus Of Enrichment Activities To Enhance Content Area Reading In Science, Lynn Carol Swanson
All Graduate Projects
A syllabus of 65 enrichment activities was developed to accompany the third grade Addison Wesley science text. The activities were designed to aid children in transferring study skills, context clues, comprehension and vocabulary from reading instruction to content material. Objectives and teaching strategies were developed to accompany each of 26 skills. Suggested vocabulary activities and materials were included. Each of the activities focused on helping students to transfer necessary study skills, context clues, and comprehension skills to the science text in order to improve their proficiency to read and use the text effectively.
Use Of Supplemental Audiovisual Materials With Remedial Science Students, Marjorie Ruth Yergen
Use Of Supplemental Audiovisual Materials With Remedial Science Students, Marjorie Ruth Yergen
All Graduate Projects
This project was undertaken to determine if the use of supplemental audiovisual materials would benefit identified remedial seventh grade science pupils. Two experimental groups of remedial pupils were presented various amounts of supplemental audiovisual materials. Both groups were then compared to a control group of remedial pupils receiving no experimental treatment. The results showed support for the hypothesis that there would be no significant difference in learning when supplemental audiovisual materials were used.
