Logics: Subverbal, Verbal, And Superverbal: An Approach To Evolutionary Psychology, Selden Smyser

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Let us attempt in thirty minutes to trace the million-year history of man's blundering yet ever more successful efforts to learn to think, to solve problems, to cooperate, construct and create. If we can trace the important steps by which the man-animal has become man and has developed thought patterns for the discovery of the truth he needs to guide his action and to solve his problems, we shall in so doing indicate the essential nature of a phylogenetic psycho-logic of importance for a fundamental science of education, i.e. a science of the evolution of human intelligence.

Experimental Results Of Training In General Semantics Upon Intellingence-Test Scores, Joseph C. Trainor

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The theory of General Semantics in its present (1935) form is essentially that there exists in the human nervous system a general mechanism, somewhat similar in nature of concept to that type of functioning which we have been calling vaguely, intelligence. In distinction, however, to the commonly held views on intelligence, General Semantics implies that this mechanism is exceedingly amenable to environmental influences; that it may, in other words, show marked effects of training in Semantic methods.

To this end a group of thirty sophomores in the Washington State Normal School at Ellensburg, Washington, were given the Detroit Intelligence Test, …

A Technique For Inter-Translating Psychological Theories, Joseph C. Trainor

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The present situ.at ion in psychology is a strange mixture of para.dox, dilemma and confusion, with many self-confident schools of thought in the field, each somewhat antagonistic to the others. The history of other sciences reveals that these are the growing pains out of which there will emerge the matured science. Meanwhile, the squabbles and the confusion are here and we must do something about them.

The Relationship Between The Home Environment And Certain Phases Of Achievement, Maude M. Meriwether

Graduate Thesis Collection

This study is the outgrowth of the writer's conviction that the home environment has a great deal to do with the lack of progress among the retarded pupils and the rapid achievement of our better students. After visiting the homes of what are often termed, "the problem cases," we usually return with the feeling that with such home conditions, it is a great wonder that the pupils progress as well as they do.

The Development Of Projects In The Elementary Grades, Florence Kuehn

Bachelors’ Theses

The advocates of the project method claim that the project method brings the school close to "real life" by the use of concrete situations in the environment of the child. To organize a curriculum wholly upon the basis of activities of life, rather than in terms of subjects is ideally desirable. The old saying that one learns to do by doing is as true at the present time as at any time. When the children are engaged in activities that they enjoy, they enter it zealously, and besides acquire veritable,incidental knowledge, attitudes, and new interests which will keep them busy …

The Changing Methods In The Teaching Of English Composition Since 1850, Eva H. Lycan

Graduate Thesis Collection

During the depression public education has been subjected to serve criticism by the taxpayers who are demanding retrenchment in the schools.  Some critics have asserted that the methods of teaching and the subject matter of such basic courses as English have undergone few changes since those days of the little red school house when a teacher could be hired for a "song".  These statements have raised in the minds of those most interested such questions as - What have been the changes in the methods of the teaching of English composition since 1850?

Oral Reading In The Intermediate Grades, Mildred Gudex

Bachelors’ Theses

By silent reading we mean the single process of getting the thought from the printed page; by oral reading we mean the getting and the giving of the thought from the printed page. Oral reading is, accordingly, a much more complex process than silent reading. Silent reading involves the recognition of the symbol - that is, the word - and the as sociation of the word with the idea or getting the thought. Oral reading involves the recognition of the symbol; the as sociation of the word with the idea - getting the thought; and the vocal utterance of the …
