A Comparison Of Two Methods Of Teaching Computer Programming To Secondary Mathematics Students., Mary Diane Bodin Calamari
A Comparison Of Two Methods Of Teaching Computer Programming To Secondary Mathematics Students., Mary Diane Bodin Calamari
LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses
This study was formulated in order to gain information about the effectiveness of two methods of instructing secondary mathematics students in introductory computer programming. Investigation of programming instruction in a reduced period of time was a major component of the study for those educators who choose to teach programming as a portion of a mathematics course must do so under time constraints.

Marginal Images: Art And Ideology In The School, Dan Nadaner
Marginal Images: Art And Ideology In The School, Dan Nadaner
Journal of Social Theory in Art Education
Art has come to connote something that is eclectic and unpredictable. Art may be concerned with the aesthetic organization of visual elements, or it may defy conventional aesthetics; it may seek to interpret visual experience, or it may interpret psychological phenomenon that have no visual manifestation; it may have significant social content, or it may not. Art defies generalizations about its form, but welcomes more readily a characterization of its spirit. Art is inquiring, open-ended, illuminating, often startling. Art is very close to the central concerns and experiential reality of the artist. While it is increasingly difficult to say what …
An Exploratory Functional-Structural Analysis Of American Urban Traditional And Alternative Secondary Public Schools, Mary Ellen Sweeney
An Exploratory Functional-Structural Analysis Of American Urban Traditional And Alternative Secondary Public Schools, Mary Ellen Sweeney
Dissertations and Theses

The three goals of this study are to: (1) collate a large share of the literature on the function, social context and organizational characteristics of conventional and alternative secondary public school organizations, (2) explicate a theoretical framework or interrelated set of propositions of organizational principles regarding modern organizations, including …
Modifying The New York State Public School Financing Formula After Levittown, Elizabeth M. Flinn
Modifying The New York State Public School Financing Formula After Levittown, Elizabeth M. Flinn
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Spending on public education is primarily an obligation of state legislature and local school districts in the United States. Legislatures determine not only the amount of education spending, but also how much money is to be given to specific school districts. As a result, there have been growing discrepancies over how much financial assistance one district will have over another, leaving children from poor and fiscally overburdened districts at a disadvantage. This Note focuses on the New York case, Levittown v. Nyquist, as well as the New York funding formula, and ultimately recommends adoption of a school finance system that …

Family Choice: An Idea Whose Time Has Come And Gone?, James J. Fishman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The heart of the criticism of the existing educational system is the feeling that public schools no longer meet the needs of society, educational bureaucracies account to no one, parents have little say or choice in the educational options for their children, there is little diversity in public schools, and the public school establishment has resisted any attempts at reform or distributing data that could be used to challenge the present system.

The Relationship Of Location To The Effectiveness Of Marriage Enrichment Retreats And Workshops, Lavon W. Rupel
The Relationship Of Location To The Effectiveness Of Marriage Enrichment Retreats And Workshops, Lavon W. Rupel
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The Problem. The proliferation of marriage enrichment programs in the past two decades has generated much public interest. Little controlled research, however, has been done to guide sponsoring community agencies and churches in program effectiveness. It has been assumed that a retreat location, removed from daily routines and stresses, enhances the learning and growth opportunities for a couple who wish to focus on their relationship. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of one marriage enrichment program and to investigate the importance of location as a factor in the effectiveness of marriage enrichment weekends. In addition, the …
The Effects Of L1 And L2 Instruction On The Metalinguistic Awareness Of Spanish-Speaking Children, Rene Merino
The Effects Of L1 And L2 Instruction On The Metalinguistic Awareness Of Spanish-Speaking Children, Rene Merino
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The Problem: While middle class students can succeed in L2 immersion programs, there is growing evidence that language minority students from low socioeconomic backgrounds do better in Ll programs. Jim Cummins' linguistic interdependency hypothesis resolves this apparent paradox by proposing that middle class students enter school with cognitive academic language proficiencies (CALF), which allow them to succeed in language mismatch situations. He claims that CALF is best developed in Ll and that schools should_teach language minority students in their first language. This study attempted to test the validity of Cummins' CALF construct. It also investigated the effects of Ll and …
