A Longitudinal Comparison Of Attitudes And Achievement Of Sixth Grade Children In Traditional And Modern Mathematics Programs, Magit E. Mcguire

All Master's Theses

New mathematics has been part of the elementary

school curriculum long enough to be seriously evaluated by

educators. The problem investigated was as follows: has

the new mathematics improve children's mathematical attitudes

and achievement?

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether

sixth graders who have attended school throughout the modern

mathematics era have achievement levels and attitudes that

are different from sixth graders who attended school when

the more traditional programs were offered.

Traditional Vs. Individualized Fifth And Sixth Grade Arithmetic Program, Donald Paul Giaudrone

All Master's Theses

This paper presents a comparative study involving two methods of arithmetic instruction for fifth and sixth grade students. Thirty pupils were taught arithmetic using a traditional approach and thirty pupils were taught arithmetic using an individualized approach. Each group was divided into high, average, and low ability students and between group achievements compared at the end of an eight month period with encouraging results. Evaluation and statistical analysis followed. The findings were discussed and recommendations offered for further study.

Effects Of Points Exchangeable For Grades On Junior High Mathematics Students, James Edward Perkins

All Master's Theses

This paper presents the effects of a token system used in a regular eight grade mathematics class. Two classes containing 21 and 23 students were implemented. The study was designed to increase attendance, behavior, and mathematical achievement in a test group and measure the effects against a control group. The scores revealed a significant difference only in attendance favoring the test group.

Recommendations included pairing stronger reinforcers with the points used and suggestions for future research.

Transient Solutions For Field Propagated By An Electric Source In A Perfectly Conducting Cone, Jon A. Sholberg

All Master's Theses

This paper makes use of the results of the doctoral thesis written by Professor K. Gamon entitled "The propagation of waves and pulses in the presence of conical structures." The use of such results is made by considering the expression for the field of a cone due to a ring source excitation and then obtaining the solution of a new field propagated by a given pulse.

Also, the electric and magnetic components for these new fields are derived along with the expression for the radiated energy.

A New Test For Normality, Richard Leroy Roller

All Master's Theses

This paper presents a new test for normality which is based on a complete characterization of the normal distribution. Motivation for the test is given in terms of a proof of this characterization. The test is derived and evaluated by computer-simulated sampling from alternative distributions. The empirical powers of the test generated from such samplings are tabled and compared to nine commonly used tests. Evaluation of the proposed test is discussed and further avenues of investigation are suggested.

A Comparative Investigation Of The Effects Of Frequent Testing Upon Achievement In Secondary Advanced Algebra, John Thomas Fullerton

All Master's Theses

Relatively speaking, few studies have concerned themselves with the problem of frequent testing, and as Keys pointed out, empirical evidence, uncomplicated by differences in the amount of testing material employed, on the effects of frequent testing is, at best, scarce (14:427). Also many studies used tests and test results for direct instruction, thus introducing additional variables. Furthermore, the choice of subjects and disciplines has been limited, the better part being taken from college psychology and sociology classes or high school science classes. This investigation was not an attempt to modify previous experiments, nor was it an attempt to identify which …

Orthogonality In Normed Spaces, Martin R. Mccarthy

All Master's Theses

This paper presents three definitions of orthogonality in normed spaces. Each definition is shown equivalent to the inner product being zero when restricted to an inner product space. The definitions arise from such properties in two space as the diagonals of a rectangle being equal and the Pythagorean Theorem. The third definition shows that the idea of an inner product can be generalized under certain conditions.

An Evaluation Of An Early Introduction Of Algebra I To Junior High School Students On An Extended Basis, Ralph H. Peterson

All Master's Theses

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the program of mathematics for eighth grade students that provides for an early introduction to Algebra I. The study will (1) gather evidence needed upon which to base a decision to continue the type of grouping described above, and (2) gather evidence to determine changes in the students' attitudes and interest concerning mathematics in general.

Relationships Between Reversible And Connected Automata, Robert Michael Johnson

All Master's Theses

The present investigation explores some of the relationships among special classes of automata defined by Bavel and Muller (1:231-240), Trauth (6:170-175), and Cutlip (2).

Final Examination Scores In Algebra As A Function Of Retesting, Otto Francis Ruud

All Master's Theses

Many teachers as well as students feel that our system of evaluation is far from perfect, but these same people have offered no alternative workable plan which would in whole or in part relieve the objections. Hopefully this study will demonstrate a philosophy of the teaching of mathematics in conjunction with a companion plan of evaluation which will relieve many of the basic objections while at the same time produce more learning. The philosophy that a more cooperative attitude in regard to assignments, testing, and make-up work are more conducive to learning is the basic aspect of this study. It …
