Student Learning Objectives For A One Semester Junior High Aerospace Course, Jerry Wayne Salstrom

All Graduate Projects

The purpose of this project was to write a list of instructional objectives for a one semester introductory aerospace course at the junior high level. The objectives would be classified by topic for the aerospace class or for interdisciplinary use by teachers in other subject areas. While not all-encompassing, the list would be broad enough to allow some selection by individual teachers in developing their own programs.

Concept And Scope Of Aerospace Education, Merridee L. Matson

All Graduate Projects

A teacher's guide, answering frequently asked questions about aerospace education, was developed to enhance a teacher's ability to study and describe the concept and scope of aerospace education. The questions determined the components of an aerospace education taxonomy. A major category of components included history, concept, reasons, resources·, methods, and people. Five additional categories were suggested. Major aerospace education publications from 1903 to 1983 were reviewed. A selection of documents best describing the concept component were included in the project.

A Plan And Guide For The Implementation Of A Computer Curriculum At Southeast Fountain Elementary School, Robert Joseph Baker

Masters Theses

This project was developed to provide an orderly plan for the introduction of microcomputers into the total curriculum. A computer curriculum was developed that became a vibrant part of the total experience at the elementary level. The uniqueness of an elementary curriculum has been the manner in which each subject area complemented the other. Science, for example, has not been taught as an independent content area. It has been taught as an extension of the reading program. Also computer instruction must be blended with the other disciplines.

It was the purpose of this study (1) to show a plan for …

An Elementary Art Curriculum For Private/Parochial Schools, Linda Porter Allison

All Graduate Projects

This project is written with the hopes of offering assistance to the private/parochial schools that either have not committed themselves to an art program or that are floundering within stagnating commitments or those that need stimulus to think about the benefits of an art curriculum. The seed thoughts for this project were first planted when the author began teaching in a private school and observed first hand curriculum deficiences in local private/parochial schools. The author conducted a survey of similarly founded schools which led to suspicions that art curriculum of the private/parochial elementary schools in the State of Washington are …

Pattern And Mathematics: Math Enrichment Activities For Gifted Fourth, Fifth And Sixth Grade Children, Janet K. Zuber

All Graduate Projects

The purpose of this project is to provide assistance to the elementary math teacher in meeting the needs of the student gifted in the area of math. A collection of activities is provided to use with gifted intermediate students and should serve as an example of the type of activities appropriate for the gifted student. These activities would be most appropriately used with gifted students in grades four through six. The activities would be of greatest benefit if students were grouped in a homogeneous manner with one teacher taking responsibility for their math needs, Homogeneous grouping would allow for faster-paced …

Development Of K-12 Science Handbook For The Thorp School District, Sim Egbert

All Graduate Projects

A handbook was created for the Thorp School District to provide teachers with science goals and objectives for each grade level. A science philosophy, a sample evaluation sheet, elementary science scope and sequence, a list of current textbooks, and the sequences of science classes were also presented in the handbook. Curriculum guides from several districts were studied before the goals and objectives were written for the handbook. The research on the needs of a curriculum and the past and current trends in science curriculum was reviewed. The literature regarding science curriculum supported the development of the handbook. Recommendations were proposed.

The Development Of A Curriculum Model For Undergraduate Education Of Manufacturing Engineers, Mark Allen Curtis

Masters Theses

The purpose of this research was to identify course work that could be used to develop a specific unified undergraduate curriculum in manufacturing engineering technology, that both satisfies existing academic constraints and thinking, as well as industry's desire for a practical, yet highly qualified engineer.

The population surveyed was a combination of educators and industrial people with a vested interest in manufacturing engineering, from across the United States. The survey results, rating the relative importance of ninety seven different courses, were used to develop a model undergraduate curriculum in manufacturing engineering.

The findings supported the original hypothesis by showing that …

Chapter 15: Adapt Faculty: Who Are They?, Robert Fuller

ADAPT Program: Essays

You have had a chance to read about the ADAPT program. The presentations in this book are as varied as the styles of the people who participated in the ADAPT project. Amidst all of this variety of information, you may be wondering just what the essential features of the ADAPT program really are. Is it essential to have six different disciplines in the program? Does it make any difference which six disciplines you choose? Do evaluating psychologists play a key role in such a project? There are, I believe, two necessary conditions for starting an ADAPT-type program: a first-rate, tenured …

Chapter 8: Content Versus Reasoning: A Physics Instructor's Struggle, Robert Fuller

ADAPT Program: Essays

In concluding this chapter, I want to try to generalize on my experience with the physics component of ADAPT and try to express my impressions about what has happened in the other ADAPT disciplines during this project. I would like to believe that professors who think formally about their discipline are able to sit down in a quiet place and carefully analyze the structure of their discipline into a sequence of topics that increase montonically in terms of the level of reasoning required of the students. However, I think our experiences in teaching the ADAPT program indicate otherwise. We can …

Chapter 12: Piaget And Social Problems, H. Jay Corzine

ADAPT Program: Essays

Although the attention given to problems of teaching sociology greatly increased during the 1970's, the implications of Piaget's ideas for college level instruction remained unexplored by most sociologists. In 1978, only one of twenty-five articles published in Teaching Sociology, the discipline's only journal devoted to teaching-related issues, contained references to Piaget's work. Thus, the social problems course offered through the ADAPT program during the 1980 spring semester represents one of the few attempts to apply Piaget to teaching sociology in a university classroom.

Recent developments in social problems theory (Spector and Kitsuse, 1977) are complementary to the constructivist epistemology underlying …

Chapter 16: The Adapt Workshop And Its Legends, Robert Fuller

ADAPT Program: Essays

Almost from its beginning, the ADAPT project had faculty development workshops as one of its products. Early in the ADAPT project the staff agreed that ADAPT was not a set of curricular materials to be developed and marketed. Rather the ADAPT faculty saw the insights gained from Piaget’s work as a different way of understanding college teaching. This understanding may manifest itself in active learning classroom exercises based on the Learning Cycle. Perhaps, more importantly, the constructivism of Piaget transforms the mission of the college teacher and it provides clues to proper teaching behaviors. The best way to share the …

Chapter 9: Development And Learning: Complementary Or Conflicting Aims In Humanities Education?, Robert D. Narveson

ADAPT Program: Essays

It will be clear from these sketchy examples that working out some of the implications of Piagetian theory for an educational program such as ours offers us a continuing challenge. The theory perhaps does more to console us for some of our failures as teachers than to tell us how our failures may be overcome, for if the fault is in the developmental level that our students have attained, then the fault is not in us. Our teaching, Piaget tells us, can play a role in fostering development, but only a fairly limited role. On the other hand if we …

Chapter 10: Piaget And Teaching Composition, Robert F. Bergstrom

ADAPT Program: Essays

As someone who teaches composition regularly and who is always aware of and interested in his students' writing, I have come to think that the most serious problem students have with their writing is a general inability to structure their thoughts with logical clarity and rhetorical skill. Not commas or parallel structure or sentence fragments. Organization. I have written notes to students by the hundreds about this problem, and sometimes the papers come back to me with a much clearer organizational pattern. All too often, however, they are returned lovingly with the commas in the right places, a one-sentence opening …
