The Development Of The Italian Madrigal, Jack D. Waddington Aug 1962

The Development Of The Italian Madrigal, Jack D. Waddington

Graduate Student Research Papers

In recent years the madrigal has gained considerable popularity. While this is good, unfortunately, the intricacies of this type of music demand a thorough understanding.

In view of these factors, this study would seem to have value.

An Investigation Of Trends Towards Departmentalization In The Elementary Schools, Donald R. Breitenfeldt Aug 1962

An Investigation Of Trends Towards Departmentalization In The Elementary Schools, Donald R. Breitenfeldt

Graduate Student Research Papers

There have been many organizational plans, including the departmental, intended to improve the "self-contained classroom" so as to increase the child's intellectual development without hindering his personal-social development. It may be that one or more of the new plans will improve the self-contained classroom. Research evidence, not plain argument, must be relied upon to provide the answers needed. There is very little research evidence to support the claims for any elementary school plan, the self-contained classroom plan not excepted.

The Organization Of A Guidance Program With Emphasis On Human Relations And Inclusion Of Human Relations Classes, Marian Wells Irwin

It is the writer's firm conviction that without genuine Human Relations atmosphere some child is being deprived of his opportunity for complete development. Second was the earnest hope that this plan may, through the adoption of Human-Relations' principles, contribute toward the improvement of conditions in a specific school district. Third …
