Sign Me Up! Determining Motivation For High School Chemistry Students Enrolling In A Second Year Chemistry Course, Nilda N. Camarena Dec 2014

Sign Me Up! Determining Motivation For High School Chemistry Students Enrolling In A Second Year Chemistry Course, Nilda N. Camarena

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

A sample of 108 Pre-AP Chemistry students in Texas participated in a study to determine motivational factors for enrolling in AP Chemistry and University Chemistry. The factors measured were academic attitude, perceptions of chemistry, confidence level in chemistry, and expectations/experiences in the chemistry class. Students completed two questionnaires, one at the beginning of the year and one at the end. Four high school campuses from two school districts in Texas participated. Two campuses were traditional high schools and two were smaller magnet schools. The results from this study are able to confirm that there are definite correlations between academic attitudes, …

A Study Comparing The Understanding Of Selected Principles Of College Chemistry By Intermediate Grade Pupils In Ellensburg And Mercer Island, Washington, Geoffrey Wallace Mills Aug 1968

A Study Comparing The Understanding Of Selected Principles Of College Chemistry By Intermediate Grade Pupils In Ellensburg And Mercer Island, Washington, Geoffrey Wallace Mills

All Master's Theses

It was the purpose of this study (1) to teach the content as identified in the Ellensburg Study to fifth and sixth grade pupils in West Mercer Elementary School; (2) to determine if differences or similarities existed between the Mercer Island and Ellensburg groups; and (3) to develop an attitude scale to reflect pupils' concerns about science.


A Study Of Critical Incidents Relating To Effective Instruction In Secondary School Physics, Chemistry, And Biology, Ernest Solomon Palmer Aug 1958

A Study Of Critical Incidents Relating To Effective Instruction In Secondary School Physics, Chemistry, And Biology, Ernest Solomon Palmer

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, to compile a list of factors aiding in the effectiveness of instruction in secondary school chemistry, physics, and biology classes, and second, to determine whether or not these factors aiding effectiveness have elements in common. The problem will then be to characterize these common elements.


An Experimental Study To Determine The Effect Of Frequent Testing On Mastery Of Chemistry Content, Harold L. Lindstrom Aug 1958

An Experimental Study To Determine The Effect Of Frequent Testing On Mastery Of Chemistry Content, Harold L. Lindstrom

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect upon a student’s knowledge of chemistry resulting from participation in a program where quizzes were given regularly over all assigned work as an integral part of a course in beginning high school.
