An Experimental Investigation Of Relative Effectiveness Among Three Different Arithmetic Teaching Methods., Jimmie Joe Greathouse

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

A substantial body of literature and theory trends during the past decade was aimed at upgrading elementary arithmetic programs.

The impetus created by this literature is continuing at the present time. Currently, research and pilot projects in elementary school arithmetic instruction, experimental arithmetic curricula, commercial arithmetic textbooks, and university elementary teacher-education programs are cooperatively promoting widespread implementation of meaningful arithmetic teaching approaches and materials.

A Sociometric Investigation Of The Persistency Of Choice In Grade Levels Two Through Six, Dolores Lapointe Linton

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Statement of the problem. There is a general conjecture among elementary school teachers that friendships and social preferences in the lower elementary grade fluctuate considerably, and that they tend to become increasingly more stable in the higher elementary grades, sometimes to the detriment of a well-ordered child society. Statements such as, “the younger ones don’t care with whom they are friendly,” and “Their best friends change every week” express the general feeling of instability and fluctuation in the lower grades. By contrast, many persons teaching in grades four to six feel that there is a tendency toward the development of …

"Development Of Ability To Think" As A Purpose Of American Education: A Philosophical And Scientific Analysis, Charles Albert Glatt Sr.

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

One outstanding characterization of public education in the United States is the lack of consensus about the central or primary purpose for even having an educational system. Due to the decentralized nature of American public education, there is no national agency with power to control, to direct, or to supervise the policies which guide the work of the many schools.
