The Period Of Rapid Progress In Fundamental Reading Attitudes, Habits, And Skills: Second Year, Arabelle T. Weich

Bachelors’ Theses

"The justification of any subject in the curriculum is that it enables pupils to engage effectively in desirable life activities."

If the training accomplishes this and so makes better citizens, then its inclusion is justified. Instruction in reading should take into account the reading experiences of children and adults both in school and social life. We must therefore first consider the kind of reading adults do. That will be the kind children will have to learn to do better. A great change has occurred in the educational field in the last years. The course of study has been greatly enriched. …

First Grade Reading Activities, E. Esther Nimz

Bachelors’ Theses

After years of scientific research, educators are agreed that in order to teach primary reading successfully, the laws of learning must be utilized. The three important laws which govern learning, are the Laws of Readiness, Effect and Exercise.

As soon as a child shows a desire to read, he should be encouraged to do so and an opportunity should be provided. He should be surrounded with interesting and attractive reading material because according to the law of readiness we find that when a bond is ready to act, it will result "in satisfaction; not to act will result in annoyance.

What Is The Gifted Child?, Jessie R. Pendergast

Bachelors’ Theses

The purpose of this study is to identify the gifted. As it is to them that the world must look for progress, their identification should become the most important of all social arrangements so that they may not become corrupted by luxury or starved by poverty. This selection is most important. As general intelligence is not to be determined from external symptoms but from the quality of thinking, the most satisfactory methods of identifying the gifted are by means of those characteristics which distinguish them as a group. These characteristics may be determined through reactions in general intelligence tests and …

The Teaching Of Art In The Public Schools, Emma Dorothy Hamann

Bachelors’ Theses

We are in the midst of a vigorous and widespread reform movement in educational methods. The great aims of the new trends are creative self-expression and development of a tolerant adaptation to environment. In contrast to uni­formity, standardization, and conformity to ideas of others, the twentieth century philosophy emphasizes confident affirma­tion or the importance of self, uniqueness and originality. Development of technique becomes a means toward an end, not an end in itself. The new education seeks to evoke and to build upon the urge to create. Hughes Mearns so fittingly stated, "It cannot be summoned. It can only be …

The Exceptionally Bright Child, And Provisions Made For Him In The Classroom, Ella T. Poppe

Bachelors’ Theses

Leadership and efficiency will always be determined by the sane, the apt, the well-balanced. If this be true then the gifted ones should be so trained and given opportunity commensurate with their natural aptitudes and thus be made levers by which the whole plane of existence may be lifted to higher levels of intelligence, conduct and happiness.

The apt, the .bright, the gifted pupil is not only entitled to our consideration as his right, but because of the necessity for his leadership in the progressive movements of our civilization. The public schools are criticized for not making provisions for the …

Teaching Of General Science In The Junior High School, Joseph T. Petska

Bachelors’ Theses

In this age of science and materialism there is not in the writers opinion, a more enriching course in our high schools as is a well balanced, well organized course in general science! It is enriching because, if taught well, it functions in the lives of the learners, it bridges the gap between the life of the learner and his environment.

The writer feels that the work in general science is of great importance and is worthy of the best thought of those responsible for the details of the courses in this subject in the junior high school. In spite …

A History Of The Secularization Of The Missions Of California, Mervyn V. Miller

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The characteristic attitude of the major portion of native Californians toward the California Missions is one of innocent, ignorant acceptance combined with but little interest or concern. By this I mean that the Missions are accepted as forming part of the Historical beauty of the State of California, but the pa- sons for this belief are not known--nor the reasons for the fact that these old adobe churches moulded an older generation into a foundation stone upon which rests the present glory of a State unsurpassed in scenic or historic grandeur they exist, hence they were..

Report Of The Curriculum Conference Held At Rollins College, January 19-24, 1931, John Dewey

Books about Rollins College and Winter Park

In January 1931, Rollins hosted a Curriculum Conference, with the distinguished educator John Dewey as chairman. Leading educators gathered to discuss a number of matters, including core curricula, general education and purpose of a bachelor’s degree as a whole. The resulting recommendations–which emphasized "Individualization in Education"–were implemented by Rollins in the fall of 1931. So provocative were these innovations that Sinclair Lewis, in his Stockholm address accepting the Nobel Prize in literature, listed Rollins as one of only four colleges in the United States doing the most to encourage creative work in contemporary literature.
