Directionality As A Sequence Effect In Programmed Learning Of A Verbal Concept, L. Xavier Keele Aug 1966

Directionality As A Sequence Effect In Programmed Learning Of A Verbal Concept, L. Xavier Keele

Student Work

Thirty years ago Sidney Pressey (1926) published an article describing an apparatus for presenting multiple choice questions which gave the student immediate feedback regarding the correctness of his response to the questions. Although this device was intended to be a "testing machine" rather than a "teaching machine", it is often generously designated the status of being the first teaching machine. Pressey's machine had little impact upon the educational world and for a generation teaching machines were all but forgotten. In the 1950's B.F. Skinner began the modern movement to automate education. Psychologists, but as noted by Bugeleki (1964, p. 208) …


An Eclectic Approach To Individualized Reading In The First Grade, Sandra S. Scherer Aug 1966

An Eclectic Approach To Individualized Reading In The First Grade, Sandra S. Scherer

All Master's Theses

Past experience has revealed a definite need to release children, at least partially, from the traditional ability groupings and allow more flexible groupings.

Since the teaching of reading occupies a central position in the elementary grades, and since children have a wide range of reading abilities and interests, an investigation of individualized reading was prompted.


The University And The Liberty Of Its Students -- A Fiduciary Theory, Alvin L. Goldman Jul 1966

The University And The Liberty Of Its Students -- A Fiduciary Theory, Alvin L. Goldman

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The disciplinary power of a university is a force which every student has cause to fear. The exercise, or threat of exercise, of a school’s disciplinary power is felt in every area of campus life. Invocation of disciplinary sanctions against a student whose personal conduct or attitudes contravene standards dear to the school authorities has occurred in such ludicrous cases as the failure of a co-ed to be a “typical Syracuse girl.” In another case, a student was expelled because she refused to pay purported debts which she asserted were properly her husband’s obligations. As insidious as it may be …

The Place Of The Family In The Church's Educational Ministry, Oscar E. Feucht Jun 1966

The Place Of The Family In The Church's Educational Ministry, Oscar E. Feucht

Concordia Theological Monthly

Parents are the child's most potent teachers. They provide the all-important environment. Good manners, good English, love of good books and music, life's ideals, in fact, the whole outlook on the world are developed largely in the home. And so are dislikes and prejudices, religious views as well as political views, habits of going to church, of receiving Holy Communion, of prayer and reading the Bible. The paths which adult feet travel find their origin in childhood, and one way is as likely to be traveled as another, if started upon in the preschool days.

Editorial, Gilbert A. Thiele

Concordia Theological Monthly

To some it may seem a bit late in the day to urge that the family and family life are important in the training of Christian children. Others may feel that Oscar E. Feucht's article on the place of the family in the educational work of the church is unnecessary, as though Lutheran families have known this all along and have acted accordingly. There may be still a third group which will see in the publication of this material another part of a conspiracy to downgrade parochial school education, especially as its objectives have to do with the imparting of …
