The Problem and Its Background

Importance of Consumer Education

Today, the terms "consumer education" and "economic education" are used commonly in discussions of the public school curriculum. However, such discussions are often undertaken without a full understanding of the various implications of the terms. But, to define the terms specifically is considered by some leaders in the field to narrow their scope and application. This is clear in the statement by Wilson,¹ namely, "To limit the application of consumer education to one segment or area of the school's work is to reduce its vitality." Thus consumer education …

The Problem and Its Background

The Objectives of the Teaching of Science

The place of science education in the program of the secondary school has long been justified. Hence, recent committees have not dealt with the need for science courses, but, rather, have devoted their efforts toward establishing feasible objectives for the teaching of science, and toward developing curricula and courses of study that would meet these objectives. Among these various committees are two that have exerted great influence in developing feasible objectives for science teaching, and in suggesting curricula and courses of study.

A Statistical Analysis Of Strength Characteristics Of Handsheets, Edward J. Horvath

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A literature survey was made in order to provide an outline of fundamental statistical definitions, formulas and methods which are used by the paper technician. These methods, if properly applied, would furnish valuable information as to the accuracy of test values, significance of differences and merits of various operations.

A demonstration is made of the application of statistical methods to test data obtained from samples of unbleached kraft pulp in the form of wet laps, air-dry pulp and soaked pulp. The analysis was devoted to the study of strength variations, uniformity and duplicability of handsheets produced from the three samples.

The Value Of Mental Arithmetic In Grades Seven And Eight, Edward Oren Kay

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

This study, entitled, "An Experimental Study of the Value of Mental Arithmetic in Grades Seven and Eight," is the report of an experimental investigation in teaching arithmetic. It was conducted for the purpose of determining whether or not the use of daily drill in the four fundamental processes or arithmetic, as well as in thought problems that involve one or more of these fundamental processes, has a tendency to develop general arithmetical abilities in children.

As far as the writer can determine, little research has been done in this area. The dearth …

A Comparison Of The Relative Effectiveness Of Teaching Seventh Grade Arithmetic With A Textbook And Without A Textbook, Alfred John Reynolds

Masters Theses

Chapter I

The Problem and Its Background

The Place of Arithmetic in Modern Education

The subject of arithmetic is as old as human history itself and yet it holds a very important place in modern education. In order to have a clear understanding of its present position it is desirable that a brief history of arithmetic be given. Since the history of arithmetic is long and since much has been written concerning it, an attempt will be made here to cover only the main thread in its development.

The Babylonians, according to records, made the first use of arithmetic. Karpinski …

An Experimental Study Of The Relative Effectiveness Of Drill And Incidental Teaching In The Learning Of The Multiplication Tables, Rena May Gates

Masters Theses

Chapter I

The Problem and Its Background

The Importance of Arithmetic

Man, since ancient times, has found a need for the use of numbers. This need started with simple numeration of quantities in daily life, and developed gradually to the complex use of arithmetic in trade and exchange. In the simplest form of family life, the number sense was exhibited in counting members of the family, years in one's life, or articles in one's possession. But as a family contacted other groups, and simple exchange took place, a gradual increase in need for numbers resulted in greater use of systems …

A Recommended Program Of Related Instruction For Electrical Apprentices, Andrew C. Luff

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

The Role of Apprenticeship

The institution of apprenticeship has been an important educational process since the beginning of history. Centuries ago trade skills were passed on from father to son, and from master to novice through an association whereby the craftsman taught the novice the skills of his trade. Down through history apprenticeship has flourished either in one form or another, and today it is an important part of the industrial system. Apprenticeship has developed in accord with industrial progress.

In order to avoid confusion, it may be well at the outset to designate the meaning of …

The Effect Of The Use Of A Textbook As Compared With Supplemental Material In Teaching Biology, Wayne A. Stafford

Masters Theses

Chapter I

The Problem and Its Background

Biology in the Secondary School Curriculum

There is ample evidence, both direct and tacit, that biology has justified its place in the curriculum of the secondary school.

Among the direct evidence is that stated by Heiss, Obourn, and Hoffman¹ as follows:

"On the Senior High School level, general biology is well established as a tenth grade course and is usually offered as an elective for each of three years. There is a considerable body of evidence available that seems to indicate that both general science and biology are going a long way …
