A Model For Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Mainstreaming., Yvonne Crockett

Student Work

Years ago it was a common and accepted practice to segregate handicapped students from their nondisabled classmates. It was presumed that handicapped youngsters needed a sheltered segregated environment in order to make satisfactory progress in school. Handicapped students were given a special curriculum and social contact with their school peers was limited (Dunn, 1968). However, since the 1960's there has been a trend towards moving handicapped children from segregated classrooms into regular class settings. This trend gained momentum which led to the passage of the federal mandate Public Law 94 142 which stated that handicapped individuals should not be inappropriately …

Some Relationships Between Student Curriculum Choices And Approximation Of School Goals, William F. Coker

Student Work

In 1642, a Massachusetts law was passed which contained what was probably the first list of educational goals in colonial America. According to this list, the child was to learn to read, to understand and obey the laws of the country, and to understand and live by Christian principles. It is interesting to note that these goals were stated as duties of the parents, since public schools were not required by law (Johanningmeier, 1980). Since that time, many different lists of educational goals have been developed. In general, these goals have been based on tradition, politics, and religious beliefs rather …

Identification And Remediation Of Children's Errors In Subtraction, Larry Anthony Cebulski

Digitized Theses

Three studies were conducted in order to determine the source and frequency of children's difficulties in subtraction and to examine different approaches to remediation. In Study 1, 56 third grade children were asked to solve subtraction problems and were observed and questioned regarding their solution processes. Analysis of verbal reports and written solutions suggested that the main source of difficulty involved borrowing procedures. Children who had difficulty either attempted to borrow incorrectly or made inversion errors, that is, they ignored the location of the digits and subtracted the smaller number from the larger. Study 2 examined two minimally intrusive methods …
