Fractions, Decimals, And Percents : A Fifth Grade Curriculum Unit, Jeffrey Li
Fractions, Decimals, And Percents : A Fifth Grade Curriculum Unit, Jeffrey Li
Graduate Student Independent Studies
This independent study outlines a fifth grade curriculum unit for fractions, decimals, and percents. The unit utilizes a problem-solving approach to lead to deep understanding of fractions and their relations to decimals and percents. The study is influenced by writings by Hiebert, Dewey, Piaget, \/ygotsky, and Fosnot, and uses a lesson planning format created by Hal Melnick. Four explorations drive the unit:
Exploration 1: What is a fraction?
Exploration 2: Going Deeper with Fractions
Exploration 3: Connecting Fractions to Decimals and Percents
Exploration 4: Comparing Fractional Amounts
Students’ Assessment Of Biology Education At Marshall University, Chris A. Barker
Students’ Assessment Of Biology Education At Marshall University, Chris A. Barker
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
The purpose of this thesis research was to evaluate the quality of scientific education offered in the College of Science’s Department of Biology at Marshall University. The objectives of this study were to emphasize the important aspects of higher education assessment, point out that a scientifically literate citizenry is imperative for society to function effectively, and to determine what factors contribute to differences among students with regard to their perception of the quality of scientific education they are receiving at Marshall. A survey questionnaire was administered to students in eleven biological science courses during the Fall semester of 2003 and …

The Cousteau Log Centering On Marine Animals For Elementary School Children, Annie Suffron
All Graduate Projects
"Centering on Marine Animals for Elementary School Children" was a multi-curricular learning center design in four parts. It consisted of an introduction on Bubbles the Whale, including a picture, a puppet, a song, a Sea Script, and task cards. Following the introduction were three units on Sea Monsters of the World, the Migration of the Grey Whale, and the Ecology of the Southern Sea Otter. Each unit contained a picture of the sea animal, a puppet, a song, a Sea Script, a Quiz, map(s), and task cards.

Transformational Geometry Unit, Elizabeth Ann O'Neill
All Graduate Projects
The study included the development and writing of a unit on transformational geometry which involved a holistic approach including the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. This unit was taught to the eighth grade class in the Oakville School District in Oakville, Washington. The results showed support that the teaching of this unit was effective.
An Evaluation Of An Early Introduction Of Algebra I To Junior High School Students On An Extended Basis, Ralph H. Peterson
An Evaluation Of An Early Introduction Of Algebra I To Junior High School Students On An Extended Basis, Ralph H. Peterson
All Master's Theses
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the program of mathematics for eighth grade students that provides for an early introduction to Algebra I. The study will (1) gather evidence needed upon which to base a decision to continue the type of grouping described above, and (2) gather evidence to determine changes in the students' attitudes and interest concerning mathematics in general.
An Analysis Of Selected Science Curriculum Guides, Juanita S. Ellison
An Analysis Of Selected Science Curriculum Guides, Juanita S. Ellison
Graduate Student Research Papers
This study is an analysis of six science programs for the primary grades by examination of the guides. The guides have been studied; first, for rationale--the reason given for the guide; second, for the content--what is being taught and at what grade level; and third, for the processes used in teaching. The guides are: 1. Madison Public Schools, Guide to Teaching Science, 1960. 2. Richland Public Schools, Teaching Science in the Elementary, 1966. 3. Pomona Unified School, Primary Science Guide, 1962. 4. Seattle Public Schools, Science Source Book, Book I, II, and III, 1962-64. 5. American Association for Advancement of …

Graduate Student Research Papers
This study's purpose is to develop a flexible-scheduling program in ninth-grade mathematics for Chief Joseph Junior High School, Richland, Washington, which can be integrated into the over-all curriculum at the time when the school adopts the idea of flexibility.
An Elementary Science Course Of Study Developed For Use In The Stockton Unified School District, David H. Smith
An Elementary Science Course Of Study Developed For Use In The Stockton Unified School District, David H. Smith
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Elementary science has made rapid strides in the last four or five years. In our elementary schools we have the laymen and scientists of tomorrow. The masses should have a speaking acquaintance with science and know the value to society through its modern inventions and discoveries. Knowledge of facts discovered by scientists give rise to conceptions that vitalize thinking in many fields and cause the redirection of human activities. Scientific conceptions such as time, space, change, variety, adaptation, and interrelationships have exerted profound influence upon thinking in wide areas of human affairs. These concepts can never be mastered, but they …
