This experiment deals with the phenomenon of latent learning. It was specifically designed to measure the effect of prior unrewarded maze exploration upon subsequent performance under condition of both positive and negative reinforcement.
The Role Of Chromosome Mutation And Aberration In Species Formation And Differentiation, Frederick Earl Reesman
The Role Of Chromosome Mutation And Aberration In Species Formation And Differentiation, Frederick Earl Reesman
All Master's Theses
Some aspects of evolution and species formation are easily understood, and as more information is compiled from the related fields of science, the processes of organic evolution will be more evident. The occurrence of chromosome mutations and aberrations, their role in the evolution of new species, and their integration with the process of gene mutation is of much more importance than is often given in many genetics texts.
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.

It was the purpose of this study to (1) compare the achievement gained by youngsters being taught by two different methods of arithmetic; (2) find, for the benefit of the district, whether the children receive a better concept of numbers and processes through the Scott, Foresman method; and (3) determine whether the Scott, Foresman method makes the teaching of problem solving more efficient.
A Study Of Benefits Gained From Industrial Mathematics By Students In The Inglewood Unified School District, Inglewood, California, Roy Dale Stull
A Study Of Benefits Gained From Industrial Mathematics By Students In The Inglewood Unified School District, Inglewood, California, Roy Dale Stull
All Master's Theses
In order to study the benefits gained from Industrial Mathematics by the students in the Inglewood Unified School District, something of a geometric approach has been used. Starting from several varied points, an attempt has been made to plot a single “unknown point,” the actual value of Industrial Mathematics.

Experimental And Observational Geometry, Albert D. Field
Experimental And Observational Geometry, Albert D. Field
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
Geometry has the distinction of being one of the oldest subjects given in the high-school.
Its subject-matter was formulated and organized by the Greeks into a fine system of thought before the time of Christ. Since leaving the hands of the Greeks, geometry has received only a few minor changes, and these largely in recent years.
Heretofore, the study of geometry has been made almost entirely dependent upon memory and reasoning. Geometricians have been slow in adopting the laboratory and observational methods.
This thesis has been written to encourage the student in his work of observing geometrical forms, and in …
