The Role Of The Elementary School Principal In Administration Of Cuisenaire Materials, Vernon John Harkness

Graduate Student Research Papers

It was the purpose of this study (1) to review literature regarding new trends in the elementary arithmetic program; (2) to investigate the role of the elementary school principal in administration of Cuisenaire materials; and (3) to investigate the current elementary arithmetic programs in the Highline School District #401 and, where evidence was available, in other school districts using Cuisenaire materials. The program in the Highline School District was investigated to determine the curricular goals and content of schools using Cuisenaire materials and of schools not using such. Other school districts using Cuisenaire materials were investigated to obtain further results …

The Teaching Of Succession Through The Use Of Pond Infusion Cultures, James E. Cole

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

The approach to teaching biology for general education is significant. In a course of this nature, the learning of biological principles should be of primary concern. It is hoped that such principles then will lend themselves to the understanding and use of the scientific approach to everyday happenings. To do this, however, requires that the teacher use the inductive method for developing an understanding of the principles, and the deductive method for applying them.

Planners of these basic biology courses attempt to define areas of real concern and interest to students. Having defined these areas, the planners …

Use Of Computers In Undergraduate Education, Donald H. Taranto

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Over the past several years automatic digital computers have become accessible to many undergraduate students. This accessibility has given an impetus to the inclusion in the undergraduate curriculum of various aspects of computer utilization such as programming, numerical methods, and computer applications. This paper will examine some of the reasons for including such material in the undergraduate curriculum, and in the course of such examination, some of the ways in which this can be done will become evident.
