Two Program Processors For The Preparation Of Instructional Materials In Chemistry, Lloyd V. Gayman

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The use of inductive or inquiry techniques in the teaching of science has been emphasized. A possible technological aid to the inquiry process is the electronic computer. A review of the literature in this area led to the development of two program processors, one to produce simulated experiments, the other to generate problems for student use.

The first processor, SIM/G, can be used to produce tables or charts. Five sample programs were prepared to illustrate the use of the SIM/G processor. Directions for use of the processor have been given. Documentation has included both a complete verbal explanation and a …

A Search For Goals In Selected Writings On General Music In The Junior High, Keith Alan Haan

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Junior high General Music courses vary considerably in regards to the activities and learning experiences which take place-in them. The goals for the classes, teacher backgrounds, and scheduling practices also vary from one school to another. The purpose of this study is to see if there is agreement among selected writers regarding the goals of the junior high General Music course. ·The purpose is also to see if these writers provide guides or directions which can be used by individual teachers when establishing the goals for their classroom situations. Sources for this study were selected from theses, books, and related …

The Role Of The Science Supervisor As Perceived By Elementary And Secondary Science Teachers, Thomas Graika

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The problem that was considered in the study was whether the role of the science supervisor was perceived differently by secondary and elementary teachers of science.

A fifty-four item questionnaire was developed. The items on the questionnaire consisted of statements of tasks which a science supervisor could do, and the teachers were asked to respond on a scale of opinion if they considered this task a role of the science supervisor.

The sample represented five school systems in Iowa which employ a science supervisor. Questionnaires were sent to 156 secondary science teachers and 153 elementary teachers. Ninety-five of all the …

A Program Of Library Instruction For Junior High School, Jane Lewis Abbas

Graduate Research Papers

An integrated program of library instruction reflects the philosophy, objectives, and goals of the school's educational program. The library assumes a role of ever increasing importance in the educational process. An effective multi-media center provides a well-integrated program of instruction.

A program of integrated library instruction becomes a reality when the administrators, faculty, and librarian plan together to develop library skills relevant to the students. The skills relate to interests, needs, and abilities of the individuals. The library is most promising for improving and enriching classroom instruction.

Plastics: Mold Design And Fabrication, Duane H. Rippe

Graduate Research Papers

Students have often asked if additional molds were available which would make different objects other than golf tees. Literature provided with the injection molder described several methods of mold construction which could be fabricated in the school shop. The writer considered the possibility of making another mold, however, a time factor and limited experience prohibited construction.

The problem seemed to be appropriate for the Projects Course 33:270 at the University of Northern Iowa. The course and research involved would assimilate the needed information to construct a mold and to teach plastic injection mold construction more effectively.

Open Letter To Science Teachers: Society In The Science Classroom, Darrel Hoff

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

In a speech given to a group of scientists and science educators last spring, Paul deHart Hurd repeated a remark made earlier by Bentley Glass that "a serious mistake has been made in the development of our national curricula in not stressing the social implications of science". Indeed this is true. You will search in vain for a reference to atomic weapons in the index of the Chem Study text. You will find no listing for hydrogen fusion weapons in the index of the PSSC text. DDT goes unlisted in the CBA index. You will find no reference to the …

The Toxic Activity Of Main Trunk Wood From Diseased Dutch Elm Trees, Lyle C. Baugess, J. Lester Dalton

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The Dutch Elm disease is caused by Ceratostomella ulmi (Schwartz) Buis (1); and, two types of elm bark beetles (9) are its vectors (3,4,9). Growth of the fungus occurs in the xylem tissue, which predominantly is concerned with conduction of water to the foliage. The spores and bud cells of C. ulmi are smaller than the elm wood vessels (1,2). C. ulmi, too, can be transmitted through root grafts.

A Consideration Of Student Understanding Of Science In Two Approaches To Bscs Biology, Harry F. Fulton

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The understanding of science by students is considered by science educators to be a worthwhile goal in the teaching of science. Attempts have been made to achieve this goal in the various curricula that have been developed, and the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study is one of these curricula. Several studies have been attempted to measure the understanding of science as a student outcome in a particular course such as BSCS Biology. In most studies the Test On Understanding Science (TOUS) (1) was the most common instrument used.

Batteries And Bulbs With An Average Class Of Ninth Graders, Richard D. Mcvey

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

During the fall semester of 1969 I had occasion to try some elementary science units with a low group of ninth graders. Of the units tried, the E.S.S. "Batteries and Bulbs" had such interesting results that it instilled in me the idea of trying the unit with my regular ninth grade class.
