A Comparative Study Of Teacher Prepared And Commercially Purchased Transparencies In Industrial Arts Education, Larry J. Yetter

Theses and Dissertations

Most graphic arts laboratories in Industrial Arts Teacher Education Programs are equipped with darkroom, process camera and offset printing equipment. The utilization of this equipment for the production of overhead transparencies could update instructional materials for industrial arts courses.

Several processes for producing overhead transparencies were investigated by means of a documentary study of educational and industrial literature. The information gathered was then studied and experimentation was conducted to determine the feasibility of producing single color and multicolor transparencies in the graphic arts laboratory of the Industrial Arts Department.

The results of this study provided the following:

1. Technical information …

Response And Associative Learning In Warmup, Allen Mayo Raffetto

Theses and Dissertations

Improvement in learning successive lists has been found in both serial and paired-associate verbal learning tasks. Both intrasession and intersession effects have been observed, although it is well established that intrasession effects are greater in magnitude. Intrasession improvement in learning successive verbal tasks has been called warmup. Earlier investigators (e.g., Heron, 1929; Irion, 1949; Thune, 1950) favored an explanation of warmup similar to that used in motor skills learning. They viewed warmup as postural and attentive changes taking place within a learning session. These changes were seen as nonassociative and temporary. Warmup was regarded as separate from intersession improvement, usually …

An Investigation Of A Structural Model Of Small Group Problem Solving, David Dwight Harshbarger

Theses and Dissertations

Past research on the nature of small group problem solving has led to contradictory findings. Using complex problems, Shaw (1954b) found a decentralized interaction structure, i.e.,a group arrangement in which group members can communicate freely, to be most effective in reaching accurate solutions. Mulder (1960), using Shaw's complex problems, found a centralized decision structure, i.e., a group arrangement in which decisions were made by a small proportion of group members, to be most effective in reaching accurate solutions. Hutte (1965), suggested greater accuracy was found when a decentralized decision structure was used in complex problem solving. In none of these …

The Effectiveness Of Cognitive Conflict And Active Participation As Methods Of Inducing The Conservation Of Substance, Leila K. Beard

Theses and Dissertations

This study was concerned with the possibility of training for conservation. With the component elements held constant across all groups, the effectiveness of two methods of presentation, cognitive conflict and active participation, were tested by a pretest-training-posttest procedure using a 2 x 2 design with a common control group. Within the treatment groups, a conflict presentation of addition-subtraction and perceptual components was contrasted with a non-conflict presentation of the same addition-subtraction and perceptual components, each in a separate series. An active manipulation procedure was contrasted with passive participation. Results indicated that conservation responses increased within the treatment groups significantly more …

Physicians' Degree Of Concern As A Function Of Numerical Medical Information Indices, Frederick W. Theye

Theses and Dissertations

The present investigation was essentially exploratory and descriptive in purpose. Utilizing the direct scaling method of magnitude estimation (with assigned modulus) the study attempted to: (1) determine if lawful relationships existed between the clinical judgment of licensed physicians and the results from nine numerical medical information indices, and (2) to quantitatively describe such relationships.

It was believed that direct estimation methodologies have been shown through empirical studies to be superior to the psychophysical models of Fechner and Thurstone. Previous work has also illustrated that the power law of S. S. Stevens' has provided a powerful methodology in studying the topic …

Rheological Study Of Concentrated Silica Suspensions, Prakash N. Mishra

Theses and Dissertations

Concentrated suspensions of silica in water were investigated using a rotational viscometer and a Zeta-Meter. The viscometric data was analyzed for shear dependence, solid concentration dependence and pH dependence. The data for electrophoretic mobility was analyzed for pH dependence.

The experimental data was applied to the Bingham plastic model and the power law model and the power law model was found to describe the experimental data more closely than the Bingham plastic model. The parameters for these two models were correlated to solids concentration, pH and electrophoretic mobility.

Effect of particle size on apparent viscosity was also studied but no …

The Panama Canal Tolls Question In The Upper-Midwestern Press, Grant K. Anderson

Theses and Dissertations

In 1912, the United States Congress passed a measure which granted free use of the Panama Canal to ships engaged in the coastwise shipping of the United States. Although Great Britain protested that the measure was a violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty of 1901, President Taft signed the bill into law. Two years later, newly elected President Woodrow Wilson appeared before a joint session of Congress and requested repeal of the disputed clause. Several months later, Congress concurred in this point of view and repealed the exemption clause. The question arises: What was the reaction of the upper midwest to …

Distribution, Food And Life History Of Tiger Salamanders In Devils Lake, North Dakota, Gary L. Buchli

Theses and Dissertations

Food, growth, distribution, migration, metamorphosis, neoteny, and breeding habits of Ambystoma tigrinum diaboli Dunn were studied in Devils Lake, North Dakota. Salamanders I vere captured in gill and frame nets, and growth and metamorphosis were followed on specimens caged in the lake, lood habits were ascertained from stomach analyses and migrating adults were caught in gill nets and trench-barrier t raps.

Salamander adults breed readily in Devils Lake and display a sex ratio of 13 females to 10 males. The population appears to consist of larvae, neotenous gilled forms, aid adults. Adults leave the lake in fall and return in …

An Exploratory Study Of The Characteristic Of Rural Public Libraries In North Dakota, Merilyn L. Peterson

Theses and Dissertations

The importance of libraries and their shortage in most agrarian areas prompted the writer to evaluate the libraries in rural North Dakota. This was done through questionnaires sent to sixty-nine libraries existing in towns with a maximum population of 5,000. All except three responded, giving a 96 per cent return. As the questionnaires were received, their results were coded and placed on IBM cards. The data were then processed to record frequency and percentage of responses to each question. This study reveals the extent of the individual library collec tions, circulation statistics, service to patrons, the physical characteristics of each …
