Computer Literacy In The Junior High School, John E. Odom

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

There must be some design to the computer related curriculum in the secondary school. The conference board of the Mathematical Sciences Committee on Computer education fettle base of such a curriculum should be a junior high school course in "computer literacy". These materials must be designed to provide enough information about the nature of a computer so that students can understand the roles which computers play in society. This thesis is designed to (1) Provide the student information on how a computer works, (2) present the student with a sampling of ways the computer is used in society, (3) introduce …

Comparison Of Oral And Silent Comprehension Scores On An Informal Reading Inventory, Linda Leah Carlton

All Master's Theses

The study presented in this paper was designed to compare the comprehension scores of an informal reading inventory taken orally with the scores of an informal reading inventory taken silently to determine any significant differences. The final data analysis indicated that no significant difference existed when the scores where compared using the two-tailed t-test at the .05 level of significance.

Further study and testing with the informal reading inventory is recommended for additional information.

Development And Testing Of An Individualized Programmed Guide Designed To Introduce Selected Components Of Production Typewriting, Irvin W. Sonker

All Master's Theses

The purpose was to design and field test an individualized programmed guide for learning selected aspects which are normally introduced in second-trimester typewriting. The selected aspects were (1) analysis and typing of business letters of selected styles and lengths, and (2) analysis and typing of tables of selected styles and lengths. the guide was developed, pilot tested, revised, retested, and field tested with seventy-four students with positive results.

Recommendations include additional testing comparing different methods of presentation of the selected aspects.

The Effect Of Instructional Gaming Upon Absenteeism: The First Step, Layman E. Allen, Dana B. Martin

Other Publications

In assessing'an experimental instructional gaming program in seventh- and eighth-grade mathematics at Pelham Middle School, Detroit, MI, absenteeism was taken as the most pervasive and pragmatic measure of student attitudes toward the learning environmentof the mathematics classroom. The experimental learning environment contained three major elements in addition to regular mathematics instruction: EQUATIONS, a problem-generating type of game; a twice-a-week tournament arranged to award reinforcements frequently and equally among the participants as well as to individualize the learning experience foreach student; and the organization of classes into teams designed to elicit cooperation. Experimental and control classes were taught by the same …

Improving Skill In Applying Mathematical Ideas: A Preliminary Report On The Instructional Gaming Program At Pelham Middle School In Detroit, Layman E. Allen, Joan Ross

Other Publications

Performance of 237 students in ten 8th-grade mathematics classes Was assessed to measure their ability to solve'problems which involve only computation and problems which involve both computation and recognition of the relevance of a particular mathematical idea which is indispensable to-the solution of the problem. Pretests and post-tests focused upon 21 mathematical ideas which are presented in the present.series of IMP (Instructional Math Play) Kits, 16-page pamphlet simulations of a computer programmed to play EQUATIONS like a good teacher rather than like a good player.

Results show that the combination of playing EQUATIONS over two-year period and then working intensively …

An Experimental Study Of Two Audio-Visual Aids Used In Beginning Drafting, Ronald Norman West

All Master's Theses

This paper presents a study designed to identify the effectiveness of two visual aids, the chalkboard, and the overhead projector, as they are used in a junior high drafting program. The students involved in the study were randomly selected and placed in two treatment groups and one control group. The experiment did not prove that either visual aid was better than the other, but indicated that the overhead projector had more advantages and greater versatility than the chalkboard.

Assessing The Effectiveness Of An Experimental Method Of Presentation Of The Sullivan Mathematics Program, Harry L. Carthum

All Master's Theses

This study compared the effectiveness of a revised presentation method with the standard presentation format of the Sullivan Mathematics Program. Using two measures of achievement gains, a comparison of results revealed no significant difference between the experimental and the standard methods. The study was limited by the use of a highly inferential standardized achievement test, and possibly, by the "Hawthorne" effect.
