Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Students at this institution represent many different nationalities, cultures, customs, and religions, and much guidance is needed.

A New Approach To General Chemistry Laboratory In College (With) A Laboratory Manual For General Chemistry, Constantine G. Vlassis

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Statement of the problem. This study was carried out to determine: (1) what advantages a laboratory-centered general chemistry course might have over the conventional laboratory course, and (2) whether improved understanding of laboratory work leads to better learning of chemistry. The four following questions were raised in connection with the study or this problem:

1. What is the need for a laboratory-centered course?
2. What has been done in the past to meet this need?
3. Can students learn chemistry more effectively in a laboratory-centered course as compared to the conventional course?
4. Is a laboratory-centered course to be preferred over the conventional course …

A Laboratory-Centered General Chemistry Course For College Freshmen, Alexander Vavoulis

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In order to give the laboratory-centered course a trial run and to compare it with a lecture-centered course it seemed necessary to the author that both courses should be taught and compared. The latter gave rise to the following hypotheses:

1. Students in a laboratory-centered general chemistry course show more favorable attitudes toward chemistry than do students in a lecture-centered course.
2. Students in a laboratory-centered course show as good a subject-matter mastery as students in a lecture-centered course.

Content, Sequence, And Emphasis Of Arithmetical Concepts As Presented In Six Textbooks And An Analysis Of Student Errors In Fifth Grade Arithmetic, Lorenzo Groutage

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Arithmetic problems and the mastery of such problems play an important role in society as it exists today. The pressure from the public has been and is for better teaching of the basic skills. Public school teachers have often evaded this issue (2). For the past decade the emphasis has been "Why Johnny Can't Read," but it seems equally important, because of the relationship of reading and arithmetic, that the focus also center on the mathematical phase of educa­tion (8).

A Movement West, Robert Katz

Robert Katz Publications

I did not discover that I had any interest in teaching or in academic life until late in my twenties, and then only through a sequence of unrelated circumstances.
I was born in 1917. My parents were Russian-Jewish immigrants who came to New York City at about the turn of the century.
At sixteen I enrolled in Brooklyn College, a recently organized, tuition-free, municipal college, then housed in rented office buildings in downtown Brooklyn. It took an hour to get to or from school on the subway. I managed to choose this inconvenient location because this school seemed most likely …

An Investigation Of The Feasibility Of Establishing A School Of Nursing In Connection With Bella Vista Hospital, M. Eulalia White

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The Bella Vista Hospital has had problems of staffing since it opened. Nurse shortages have been typical of all insular hospitals.

This would give opportunity for Seventh-day Adventist young people who seek nursing education and would help prepare nurses to staff the hospital.

Through a survey of the Seventh-day Adventist church and youth membership in the Inter-American Division, it was found …

An Evaluation Form For Professional Staff Nurses, Barbara Jean Brauer

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The problem of this study was to develop an evaluation form to measure the differentiation in quality of nursing care given by professional staff nurses.

A review of nursing literature did not reveal the existence of an evaluation form based on verifiable data of performance upon which an objective evaluation could be made.

The critical incident technique was used to gather the data for the study. The respondents were nursing supervisory personnel employed in …

A Problem Situation Unit In In-Service Education For Graduate Nurses, Bessie E. Irvine

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to develop a problem situation unit that could be used for stimulating graduate nurses to assume their responsibility regarding the use of pain and anxiety relieving drugs, namely narcotics, tranquilizers, and barbiturates.

The general use of these drugs presents a danger to public health when they are used indiscriminately. Therefore, nurses should be informed as to their responsibility to the doctor, the patient, and to themselves in regard to the use of these drugs.

This study was developed by presenting briefly the following:

1. Principles and history of group discussion and problem situation unit teaching; …
