Making Curriculum Decisions And The Nature Of Mathematics, Paul Zwier

ACMS Journal 2004

This paper clearly presents eight aspects of mathematics and contrasting perspectives in each that will affect the teaching of mathematics and the design of curricula. It also presents a collection of affirmations that could reasonably characterize a Christian perspective on teaching mathematics.

Introduction

In modern man's attempt to understand human nature, two major modes of perceiving human experience, the humanistic and scientific, have often been in conflict. C.P. Snow labelled this dichotomy "the two cultures." As the power of science and accompanying technology have grown in the past forty years, the distance …

Utilization Of Wave Energy, Walter R. Schmitt

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

When looking upon an aroused sea, many wonder how this seemingly large energy resource could be used. Inventive minds have gone to work on devices of all kinds - pumps and bellows, buoys, barges, and ramps, surface and subsurface siting, using alloys and plastics, etc. -generally based on mechanical or hydraulic principles. They would probably all work (if somebody would build them), but none thus far have been shown to do so profitably.

Ec79-1206 Roses, Donald H. Steinegger, Frederick P. Baxendale, John E. Watkins, Amy Greving

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Roses are one of the most versatile and exciting plant groups to use in landscape compositions. There are rose cultivars (varieties) adapted for almost any garden site or landscape purpose, including formal beds and perennial borders, arbors, trellises, hedges, ground covers, steep banks, edging, accent, specimen plants, and as patio or tub plants.

The most common rose types are hybrid teas, floribundas, grandifloras, and climbers. More people are becoming familiar with the so-called "old fashioned" or shrub roses. Many of these are well-adapted to Nebraska and to water-conserving landscapes.

Report On Survey Of Diploma Of Teaching Graduates In Science From The N.C.A.E. Who Are In Their First Year Of Teaching (1978), Research Committee, Nedlands College Of Advanced Education

Research outputs pre 2011

This survey of graduates with the Diploma of Teaching (Science) was conducted with the intention of providing Science Department Staff of the N.C.A.E. with information which would allow changes to be made that would more accurately meet the needs of their students.

Preliminary discussions with the College science staff have already initiated several changes as suggested by the interviewees. Some recommended changes have already taken place during the graduates' first year of teaching (such as a change in the timing of the Assistant Teaching Programme)...

The Liberating Function Of Philosophy In Education, Leonard M. Fleck

Perspectives (1969-1979)

"But wherever ideas are effective, there is freedom"¹

The primary intent of this paper is not to advance or defend any novel philosophical theses. Rather, the purpose is to provide what I will call a "philosophic service" for undergraduate teachers of philosophy. More specifically, I am concerned both with the continued decline of interest in the liberal arts (philosophy in particular) among undergraduates and with the apparent inability of many teachers of the liberal arts to articulate satisfactorily a rationale for the pursuit of the liberal arts. In this paper I cannot analyze all the complex economic and socio-cultural …

Adventures In Health Careers Education, Lois M. Kloker

Masters Theses

The purpose of the study was to interest students in health occupations and to provide information concerning personal qualifications, education, licensing, remuneration, career mobility and where more information could be obtained.

To accomplish this, health workers were invited to the school during the noon hour to speak to students who were interested. Interest was promoted by means of a prominently placed, permanent bulletin kept up-to-date with a year-schedule and a current-meeting announcement attached. Intercommunication system announcements were made the day prior to and the morning of each meeting. In addition, by means of a sign-up sheet to note attendance, a …
