The Only True Multi-Medium Is The Human Being, Milbert Krohn

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

I would like to react to the present mood of our culture by paraphrasing a statement from Lewis Mumford's great book, The Myth of the Machine. "What is needed in education today is a multi-medium for teaching so varied, so many sided, so flexible, so responsive to human need, that it can serve every human purpose .... " And then he says, "The only true multi-medium remains the human organism itself."

K-12 Science Education In Iowa: Did You Know That . . ., Lynn W. Glass

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The State is divided into 15 geographical areas for the improvement of education in Iowa schools. Each area has a local board of education and the authority to levy taxes. The total K-12 enrollment ranges from a low of 16,876 in Area XIV to a high of 136,719 in Area XI. In general, these 15 areas are of approximately the same geographical size.

A Comparison Of The Effects Of A Team Approach And A Conventional Approach On Achievement In High School Biology, Paul Joslin, John Montean, John Schmitt

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

It is very easy to come by reports in support of almost any new practice in education. Teachers would rather report favorable results and journals would rather print them. It was the many published reports enumerating the advantages of team teaching that first interested us in a team teaching experiment. At the time we started in 1964, we summarized 141 publications with team teaching in their titles. There are only a limited number of advantages and disadvantages that can be hypothesized for any particular practice. It was not surprising, therefore, to find that recent reports tend to merely reassemble what …

A Simple Machines Lab For Seventh Grade Students, Peter H. Sweedy

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Having taught physical science for two years at the high school level, my new assignment to teach seventh grade science was met with mixed emotions. I had heard that junior high students were very energetic (mostly for mischief) and were very limited in learning ability, due to a low reading level and a lack of mathematical skills. I know I had also wondered, like many of you in high school and college teaching, just why did high school age students have such poor concepts of motion, energy, light, sound and graph interpretation and use.

New Istj Format, Robert E. Yeager

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The financial problems of the Iowa Academy of Science caused the Board of Directors to approve a budget for 1972-73 which decreased the support for the Iowa Science Teachers' Journal by nearly two-thirds. As a result of this austerity program it was necessary to alter the format, size and printing for Volume 9, No. 4 of the Journal. Several alternatives were considered before the ISTJ editorial board recommended a new format to the IAS Publication Committee. This issue represents the recommended and approved format which will characterize the next three issues of Volume 10 as well.

So You Want To Be An Outstanding Teacher!, Barton Philipps

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

Great teachers are great because of the long vacations, short working day, easy work (if you call it work), and good pay. WHAT? Who said that? Truly GREAT teachers rarely take a vacation and work overtime without pay, to guide the students in learning situations. And as for the pay, the garbage collectors in many areas make more than the teachers.

An Analysis Of Data And Records Of Two Selected Groups Of Students In The Context Of The Admissions Program At The University Of Northern Iowa, Jack Lloyd Wielenga

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was undertaken to compare the level of academic success of two groups of students as they were affected by admission policies and practices at the University of Northern Iowa. Students in both groups ranked in the lower half of their respective graduating classes. Students in Group I were denied admission, and students in Group II were admitted to the fall semester 1964.

High school counselors and college registrars at 232 schools were asked to provide transcripts of records and/or completed reporting forms for each of the 185 students in Group 1 who had previously attended their institutions. This …
