A comparison of the level of understanding of science between secondary teachers and students was made by P. E. Miller in 1962. The measuring instrument used was the Test On Understanding Science (TOUS), Cooley & Klopfer 1961. The science teachers were compared with groups of secondary students in grades seven through twelve.

Participation Of Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod Elementary Schools In Federal Aid Programs, Marvin Brandt

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The issue of federal aid for nonpublic education is intensifying year after year with the ever increasing enrollments in nonpublic schools and with the increasing number of federal programs which provide various types of aid for children in public as well as nonpublic schools. Already in 1955 Dr. Arthur L. Miller, executive secretary for the Board of Parish Education of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod stated that the issue of federal aid to nonpublic schools was intensifying because of the growing financial needs of the schools and the growing demand for federal aid to education in the public schools. …

Guides To Teaching Concepts Of Music For The Self-Contained-Classroom Teacher At The Primary Level, C. Elaine Kinsinger Clark

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

This study was initiated to deal with a problem faced by the teacher of the self-contained elementary classroom. She cannot be equally well-prepared to teach all subjects. Music frequently is poorly taught or neglected by the teacher who feels musically inadequate. It was the purpose of this study to provide materials for these teachers so that they might teach music more effectively.

A Conductometric Study Of The Reaction Velocity Of Halodinitrobenzene With Piperidine, F. Emmitt Jacob, Terrill R. Berkland

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The rates of reaction for 1-chloro-, 1-bromo-, and l-iodo-2,4-dinitrobenzene and piperidine in 95% ethanol were determined for various concentrations and temperatures by a conductometric process. An RC-18 Conductivity Bridge with an oscilloscope detector was found to be very satisfactory in the study. The specific rate constants gave the halogen reaction series Cl > Br >> I at all temperatures and concentrations used. The conductometric method for determining reaction velocities has shown itself to be very effective since it allows continuous monitoring of the system thereby eliminating the necessity of a chemical analysis.

Some Trends In College Physics And Their Reflections On High School Physics, J. E. Kasper, L. D. Flansburg

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

We are much struck with the desirable results that follow from introducing brief discussions of modern physics topics during the course of ordinary, relatively routine first courses in physics for college freshmen and sophomores. We propose in this paper that teachers of secondary physics courses might well also consider the incorporation of such discussions into their courses.
