The Problem and Its Background
The Purpose of the Study
The teaching of physics in the high school has been modified over the years to meet the changing needs of students and to include the developments of modern times. Together with these changes there has been in recent years much controversy concerning the purpose and value of laboratory work that accompanies the course. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between achievement in high-school physics and the amount of laboratory work that may be included.

The Problem and Its Background
The Objectives of the Teaching of Science
The place of science education in the program of the secondary school has long been justified. Hence, recent committees have not dealt with the need for science courses, but, rather, have devoted their efforts toward establishing feasible objectives for the teaching of science, and toward developing curricula and courses of study that would meet these objectives. Among these various committees are two that have exerted great influence in developing feasible objectives for science teaching, and in suggesting curricula and courses of study.

Masters Theses
Chapter I
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
This study, entitled, "An Experimental Study of the Value of Mental Arithmetic in Grades Seven and Eight," is the report of an experimental investigation in teaching arithmetic. It was conducted for the purpose of determining whether or not the use of daily drill in the four fundamental processes or arithmetic, as well as in thought problems that involve one or more of these fundamental processes, has a tendency to develop general arithmetical abilities in children.
As far as the writer can determine, little research has been done in this area. The dearth …

An Experimental Study Of The Relative Effectiveness Of Drill And Incidental Teaching In The Learning Of The Multiplication Tables, Rena May Gates
Masters Theses
Chapter I
The Problem and Its Background
The Importance of Arithmetic
Man, since ancient times, has found a need for the use of numbers. This need started with simple numeration of quantities in daily life, and developed gradually to the complex use of arithmetic in trade and exchange. In the simplest form of family life, the number sense was exhibited in counting members of the family, years in one's life, or articles in one's possession. But as a family contacted other groups, and simple exchange took place, a gradual increase in need for numbers resulted in greater use of systems …

A Comparison Of The Relative Effectiveness Of Teaching Seventh Grade Arithmetic With A Textbook And Without A Textbook, Alfred John Reynolds
Masters Theses
Chapter I
The Problem and Its Background
The Place of Arithmetic in Modern Education
The subject of arithmetic is as old as human history itself and yet it holds a very important place in modern education. In order to have a clear understanding of its present position it is desirable that a brief history of arithmetic be given. Since the history of arithmetic is long and since much has been written concerning it, an attempt will be made here to cover only the main thread in its development.
The Babylonians, according to records, made the first use of arithmetic. Karpinski …

Chapter I
The Problem and Its Background
Biology in the Secondary School Curriculum
There is ample evidence, both direct and tacit, that biology has justified its place in the curriculum of the secondary school.
Among the direct evidence is that stated by Heiss, Obourn, and Hoffman1 as follows:
"On the Senior High School level, general biology is well established as a tenth grade course and is usually offered as an elective for each of three years. There is a considerable body of evidence available that seems to indicate that both general science and biology are going a long way …

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 …
