An Overview Of Mechanism And Function Of Respiration In The Human Organism, James Morley Freese
An Overview Of Mechanism And Function Of Respiration In The Human Organism, James Morley Freese
Graduate Student Research Papers
The purpose of this paper was to take a seemingly simple concept of zoology, reveal in some measure its complexity, and show how this concept is often inadequately expressed and taught.
The Importance Of Teaching About Beneficial Insects In Secondary Science Instruction, Larry Ralph Whitney
The Importance Of Teaching About Beneficial Insects In Secondary Science Instruction, Larry Ralph Whitney
Graduate Student Research Papers
This paper will attempt to determine the value of placing more emphasis in secondary science instruction on beneficial insects. Is this somewhat neglected area of knowledge important enough to have a significant place in an already full curriculum?
Motivating A Fifth And Sixth Grade Classroom Interest By Teaching Science Units At The Center Of The Curriculum, Theodore R. Reich
Motivating A Fifth And Sixth Grade Classroom Interest By Teaching Science Units At The Center Of The Curriculum, Theodore R. Reich
All Master's Theses
The problem was to set up a classroom situation in which fifth and sixth grade students were able to use the study of magnetism, electricity, and electronics in such a way that interest and motivation toward regular curricular studies could be stimulated. The following devices were chosen to evaluate the experiment: (1) interest and motivational questionnaires, (2) a science completion test, (3) The Iowa Basic Skills Test, and (4) the behavior journal.
A Comparison Of Second And Fourth Grade Children’S Multiplicative Abilities, Bernard Eugene Dillon
A Comparison Of Second And Fourth Grade Children’S Multiplicative Abilities, Bernard Eugene Dillon
All Master's Theses
It was the purpose of this study to (1) compare the multiplicative abilities of fourth graders using the textbook form of learning to that of second graders using the textbook form of learning supplemented by the Cuisenaire Rods; (2) determine which area of multiplication might be stressed in the coming years to give the district a better primary arithmetic program; and (3) determine if the rods were as helpful to the slow learners as they were to the fast learners.
Is There A Way To Teach Terminology In The Biological Science?, Kenneth Eugene Bongers
Is There A Way To Teach Terminology In The Biological Science?, Kenneth Eugene Bongers
Graduate Student Research Papers
The present :national emphasis on the teaching of Biological Science in High School has brought about many inquiries relative to teaching terminology in a meaningful way. Every biology teacher is faced with the problem of how to communicate the meaning of terms every biology book assumes the students already know.
The Position Of Solid Geometry In The Mathematics Program, David A. Fitzgerald
The Position Of Solid Geometry In The Mathematics Program, David A. Fitzgerald
Graduate Student Research Papers
Curricular change is a dynamic process. It does not lend itself -well to a snapshot illustration, but rather to the continuity of a moving picture. Such a picture is to be presented in this paper. As new programs evolve, certain weaknesses develop. This paper proposes to point out possible danger areas existent in the recent teaching of solid geometry.
