The Effect Of Feedback Of Quiz Results On Achievement In Introductory College Economics., William Guilbert Darling

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Problem: Kelley's "Teaching Information Processing System (TIPS)” provides informative feedback (IF) from non-credit quizzes to students, teaching assistants, and instructor. Differentiated assignments are made according to quiz results. TIPS classes achieve reliably higher midterm scores than control classes in introductory economics; no final examination comparisons have been reported. TIPS may be an important contribution to educational technology, but questions may be raised about (1) the contribution of quizzes-cum-feedback-to-students to achievement, as measured by the. Test of Understanding in College Economics (TUCE), and (2) the effects of the interaction of personality variables and informative feedback (IF) intervals on achievement.

Purposes: 1. …

J. Bracken Lee And Utah Public Education, Elwin Lee Reynolds

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the two gubernatorial terms of J. Bracken Lee, Governor of Utah 1948-1956, and the effect he had on education during these years. Lee has been accused by his detractors of being opposed to education. He has been defended by his supporters as being a friend whose only desire was to have education operated on a sound fiscal basis. During his two terms as governor he was almost constantly involved in some dispute with the education people in the state and was frequently on the defensive against anti-education charges.
