A Comparison Of The Effectiveness Of Worksheets And Manipulative Games Used In Seventh-Grade Mathematics As Methods Of Drill On The Four Basic Operations With Whole Numbers And Fractions, Richard Lee Capps

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was conducted in the fall of 1971 at Nell McGowen Junior High School, Knoxville, Iowa. The subjects of the study were 146 seventh-grade mathematics students. The students were ability grouped by the principal. No attempt was made to keep a constant sex ratio. The problem of this study was the comparison of two methods of drill on the four basic operations with whole numbers and fractions. The methods were games and worksheets. An analysis of covariance design was used to analyze the data. Achievement and attitude pre-test scores were covariates. Achievement and attitude post-test scores were dependent variables. …

Paradise Regained: An Intellectual Drama Of The Nature Of Being And Freedom, Michael Biehl

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The major problem confronting a student of Paradise Regained is to relate theology, philosophy, and drama. Critics, in the main, have either oversimplified the issues, or have given lopsided interpretations of the poem, emphasizing one aspect to the detriment of others of significance. Consequently, as noted in the Introduction, our study examines Paradise Regained's central theological and philosophical equation of Being and Freedom. Furthermore, our mode of approach is a running commentary and analysis to help us trace the poem's developing intellectual drama. Book I sets the stage for the conflict of ideas. During the first council with his cohorts, …

The Educational Match, Daleanne Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Many educators are arguing that if education is to be successful, classroom teachers must be able to match the instructional material for each student with that student's level of achievement. Supposedly, providing material that is too difficult or too advanced for the student's ability can result in failure and eventually a loss of motivation. On the other hand, providing material far below the present level of achievement can lead to a similar loss of motivation. According to this line of argument one of the basic tasks facing the teacher is the proper "matching" of the curriculum to the student's capabilities. …

A Survey Of Reading Programs In Selected Junior High Schools In Six Iowa Counties, Daniel Charles Manning

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this survey was to assess the current status of junior high reading programs. Fifteen schools were randomly selected from the schools within the counties surrounding Blackhawk County. Criteria which indicated aspects of successful reading programs were selected and were subsequently used in the assessments. Particular emphasis was placed upon individualization, diagnosis, language arts integration, reading in the content areas, and on organizational structure. Visitation requests were sent, and acceptances were received from thirteen schools. During the spring term of the 1971- 1972 academic year, visitations were made. Data was obtained through teacher interview and classroom observation.

Mechanical Lettering Devices For Drafting, Wilson G. Forbes

Graduate Research Papers

Having taught mechanical drawing in high school, grades nine through twelve for nearly six years this writer has stressed the importance of lettering to students many times. However, freehand lettering is a very short unit, with limited experience using a Leroy Lettering Guide. The desire to discover other means of lettering drawings prompted the selection of this topic.

A Study Of Dr. Donald Maley's Theory -- "Research And Experimentation In Industrial Arts", John Edward Ferree

Graduate Research Papers

The problem of this study is to make a thorough examination of Dr. Donald Maley's theory -- "Research and Experimentation in Industrial Arts in the Junior or Senior High School."

Perhaps now in 1968, more than ever, concern for what is in store for industrial arts is, or should be, considered more "grave" than expressed in the above quote of Dr. Maley in 1959. Certainly now it could generally be agreed that all theories concerning the future path of industrial arts, of which Dr. Maley's Research and Experimentation theory is one, deserve a full measure of study and evaluation by …

The Library And Educational Innovations, Marlene Muller Prigge

Graduate Research Papers

The past decade has seen the school library transformed from a center of print materials to a center for instructional materials of all types and varieties. The service offered by the library has undergone a concomitant change. However, one can still not describe a library or instructional materials center with any certainty that the description will be the same tomorrow. For as with education today--the only lasting characteristic seems to be change.
