A Comparison Of Second And Fourth Grade Children’S Multiplicative Abilities, Bernard Eugene Dillon

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study to (1) compare the multiplicative abilities of fourth graders using the textbook form of learning to that of second graders using the textbook form of learning supplemented by the Cuisenaire Rods; (2) determine which area of multiplication might be stressed in the coming years to give the district a better primary arithmetic program; and (3) determine if the rods were as helpful to the slow learners as they were to the fast learners.

Motivating A Fifth And Sixth Grade Classroom Interest By Teaching Science Units At The Center Of The Curriculum, Theodore R. Reich

All Master's Theses

The problem was to set up a classroom situation in which fifth and sixth grade students were able to use the study of magnetism, electricity, and electronics in such a way that interest and motivation toward regular curricular studies could be stimulated. The following devices were chosen to evaluate the experiment: (1) interest and motivational questionnaires, (2) a science completion test, (3) The Iowa Basic Skills Test, and (4) the behavior journal.

The Importance Of Teaching About Beneficial Insects In Secondary Science Instruction, Larry Ralph Whitney

Graduate Student Research Papers

This paper will attempt to determine the value of placing more emphasis in secondary science instruction on beneficial insects. Is this somewhat neglected area of knowledge important enough to have a significant place in an already full curriculum?

How Teachers Of High School Biology May Introduce Heredity And Birds Through The Use Of Doves, Donald Hood Dickinson

Graduate Student Research Papers

It was the purpose of this study (1) to present a method of teaching principles of heredity at a level understandable to students of a high school biology class, (2) to present a list of resource materials for use in a heredity unit, and (3) to show how the use of live animals might intensify student interest in this subject as well as in other phases of bird life such as nest building, incubation of eggs, hatching of eggs, voice and communication, and effects of nutrition on chick development.

An Overview Of Mechanism And Function Of Respiration In The Human Organism, James Morley Freese

Graduate Student Research Papers

The purpose of this paper was to take a seemingly simple concept of zoology, reveal in some measure its complexity, and show how this concept is often inadequately expressed and taught.

A Comparative Study Of Two Methods Of Teaching Arithmetic, Evalyn Bamborough Pflueger

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study to (1) compare the achievement gained by youngsters being taught by two different methods of arithmetic; (2) find, for the benefit of the district, whether the children receive a better concept of numbers and processes through the Scott, Foresman method; and (3) determine whether the Scott, Foresman method makes the teaching of problem solving more efficient.

Is There A Way To Teach Terminology In The Biological Science?, Kenneth Eugene Bongers

Graduate Student Research Papers

The present :national emphasis on the teaching of Biological Science in High School has brought about many inquiries relative to teaching terminology in a meaningful way. Every biology teacher is faced with the problem of how to communicate the meaning of terms every biology book assumes the students already know.

The Position Of Solid Geometry In The Mathematics Program, David A. Fitzgerald

Graduate Student Research Papers

Curricular change is a dynamic process. It does not lend itself -well to a snapshot illustration, but rather to the continuity of a moving picture. Such a picture is to be presented in this paper. As new programs evolve, certain weaknesses develop. This paper proposes to point out possible danger areas existent in the recent teaching of solid geometry.

A Survey Of The Methods Of Teaching Evolution In Minnesota High Schools, John Darel Jackson

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

The purpose of this study was to survey the methods of teaching evolution in Minnesota public and parochial high schools. No attempt has been made to compare these groups. There remain areas where the populace remains hostile to the teaching of evolution. In each of the three groups surveyed there were a significant number of teachers who do not present the theory of evolution in their classes.(Lutheran High Schools, Catholic High Schools, Public High Schools). The survey of public and parochial high schools of Minnesota did not show evolution to be a highly contested issue.

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 …

Utilizatioon Of A Natural Area In Teaching Junior High School Biological Science, Warren V. Nelson

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

It has long been suggested that biology, being the study of life, should place emphasis on living organisms. This should be especially true of junior high school study. For this reason the use of any available natural area should be exploited to the utmost. Since there is a natural area immediately adjacent to the school in which the author teaches, this study has been developed. Junior high school students in biological science courses spend much time learning to describe and identify organisms. This is an important part of this course and junior high school students usually enjoy this type of …
