Student Perceptions Of The Transition From Year 10 To Year 11, Tim Mcdonald

Theses : Honours

Issues associated with the transition from Year 10 to Year 11 have largely been ignored by researchers. Previous research has predominantly focussed on the primary to secondary transition experience. The existing problem of lower school to upper school transition has been compounded by the increased importance of upper school and the rising retention rates. This study investigated student perceptions of the transition from Year 10 to Year 11. It explored student concerns encountered in the transition and the differences they perceived between Year 10 and Year 11 after having entered Year 11. A case study approach, incorporating both qualitative and …

Department Of Entomology Newsletter - No. 5, Part 1, 1988, George R. Manglitz

Hexapod Herald and Other Entomology Department Newsletters

When the last Newsletter was published in 1976 (No.4), it was assumed that it would be followed by another In 4 or 5 years. And indeed, considerable effort has been expended on the production of No.5. However, for various very good reasons No.5, although close to publication several times, aborted several times. Now largely because this is the centennial year of our Department, we feel that we can wait no longer. Because of that fact, the format of this Newsletter will be slightly different from those in the past. We have the "news" that you furnished about yourselves 5 or …

The Conversion Of A Recreational Camp Into A Residential Environment And Educational Learning Center, Ellen Wells Ernst

Graduate Research Papers

Educational systems in our country have continually faced the challenge of providing educational opportunities for all our children. As well as maintaining a national goal of high educational standards, we have also encouraged an individualistic approach to meeting needs of students. Our educational systems must deal with an extremely wide range of personalities, beliefs, backgrounds, expectations, incomes and abilities. Teachers have a wealth of information available to help them determine students' individual needs and ways of meeting these needs. Students' needs can vary from cognitive-knowledge and moral-motivational needs to personal-emotional and physical needs. Curricula and programs generally attempt to insure …

Informational Needs Within A Decision Making Model For Curriculum Development, Sandra J. Rowell

Theses

This thesis analyzes informational needs within a decision-making model for curriculum development, focusing on the Francis Howell School District's shift from decentralized to centralized curriculum in the 1970s. The study uses Lipham's decision-making model, which involves recognizing a problem, gathering information, considering alternatives, making a choice, and evaluating the outcome.

The author, a member of the planning committee, provided information and suggestions for the study, including criteria for curriculum guides, sample guides from other districts, and a review of goals and objectives. The thesis also explores different value bases and curriculum theories, emphasizing the importance of understanding these values in …
