An Elementary Science Course Of Study Developed For Use In The Stockton Unified School District, David H. Smith

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Elementary science has made rapid strides in the last four or five years. In our elementary schools we have the laymen and scientists of tomorrow. The masses should have a speaking acquaintance with science and know the value to society through its modern inventions and discoveries. Knowledge of facts discovered by scientists give rise to conceptions that vitalize thinking in many fields and cause the redirection of human activities. Scientific conceptions such as time, space, change, variety, adaptation, and interrelationships have exerted profound influence upon thinking in wide areas of human affairs. These concepts can never be mastered, but they …

The new elementary school of the Central Washington College of Education, at Ellensburg, which was completed in September, 1939, is a foremost example of the new type of structure which is replacing the old and inadequate formal training school.

The curriculum is based upon contemporary life and individual student needs. It provides facilities for enabling teachers in training to secure the necessary experiences essential to the administration of the modern elementary school.

Visual Instruction As An Aid In Teaching Geography In The Grammar Grades, Eva May Seivert

Bachelors’ Theses

Visual education, visual instruction, visual aids, visual-sensory aids, etc. are terms rather loosely employed· to label the use of illustrative material and devices in all forms of education. Visual education implies the complete educative process or a distinct subject or purpose classification. Visual aids and visual-sensory aids denote the physical materials and arrangements necessary for the "seeing" experience. Visual instruction emphasizes the value of concrete imagery in the learning process.

The Need For Conservatism In Educational Theory, Joseph C. Trainor

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

THE so-called "progressive" movement in education has in recent years given rise to the theory that the educator's primary function is to improve society. By assuming leadership education will force such improvements in the social order in directions such that the children of the next generation will develop more naturally. A two-fold attack is presented by those who hold this viewpoint. A concerted campaign of propaganda is carried on to bring about as rapidly as possible the assumed trends toward collectivism of one kind or another, while at the same time the internal environment of the school is transformed into …

Maneuvers In World History, Harold E. Barto

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

In February 1935 the Washington Education Joumal carried a brief article under the title of "World History, 'What's It All About?'" Since then several letters have come from world history teachers from within the state. Frankly, they have caused some embarrassment. In almost one accord they have chided the writer with pointing out some of the problems relative to presenting world history without giving a hint as to possible remedial measures. The following suggestions no doubt represent methods which are being employed by all history teachers either directly or indirectly. They are neither new nor unique. However, they may help …
