The Use Of Marionettes As A Project In The Elementary Schools, Elizabeth M. Grady

Bachelors’ Theses

A few years ago we associated the marionette entirely with the Italian showman. Now a veritable renaissance of interest in marionettes seems to be sweeping over every country, our own included. Many artists were quick to see the educational as well as enjoyment possibilities in this fascinating form of drama. The result has been that in almost every city and town some sort of work with marionettes is being done in the public, private and parochial schools from the primary grades to high school.

Speech Training In The Elementary Schools, Adell M. Schott

Bachelors’ Theses

One of the strongest impulses of the human heart is self-expression, the most important medium of which is spoken English. The fact that more attention and interest are directed at the perfection of written. English cannot be refuted when an intelligent investigation is made into the progress of spoken English. By spoken English, I mean the general training of the voice for speech.

Building The School Entertainment Day By Day: Sharing Experiences With The Community, Jennie Moore

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

"What school experiences will my pupils enjoy sharing with their friends?" you ask yourself. As you think of the people in the community, it seems probable that many of them learned to read by the word method, that they mastered spelling by the valiant repetition of letters, that history to them was a mass of names and dates, and that their recesses were listless breaks in the routine of classes. To see their children or their neighbor's children doing happily that which was drudgery to them will be a rare treat. And so arises the idea for your first school …

Supervised Study, Alice L. Priestley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University in 1929, examines supervised study as an instructional method and argues for its superiority over traditional recitation-based teaching. Priestley traces the historical development of the teaching function through three stages, from the teacher as disciplinarian, through an emphasis on psychologizing instruction, to the contemporary movement toward directing and supervising pupils' independent learning activities.

The thesis reviews a series of experimental studies comparing supervised study to conventional recitation and home study methods, including investigations by Reavis, Richard, Hill-Quest, Breslich, Minnich, and Brown and Worthington, conducted across subjects including algebra, plane geometry, arithmetic, and poetry at …

The Teaching Of Reading Affords One Of The Greatest Opportunities For The Development Of Character In The Junior High School, Dolores O. Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University of Louisiana in 1929, argues that reading instruction in the junior high grades should be oriented toward character development rather than mechanical skill alone. Johnson distinguishes between oral and silent reading, contending that silent reading had been comparatively neglected in schools despite making up the bulk of reading done outside the classroom, and examines factors affecting reading rate and comprehension, including vocalization, lip movement, and purposeful practice.

The thesis also addresses the use of literature to build character and citizenship, recommending variety in reading material, the use of class discussion and oral recitation to …

The Project Method In Education, Ralph O. Paff

Bachelors’ Theses

Hence our problem is to determine what the desirable things are that children may do, what means we may use to develop and teach these things, and by what standards we may judge the efficiency of our teaching. Much of the subject matter and many of the habits formed in our schools do not conform to desirable social life outside of school. For instance, we tell children not to receive help from or give help to anyone in an examination or test. To do so is unfair. Yet we ask children to be mutually helpful, to assist the needy, and …

Typical Methods Of Learning, Esther Zemke

Bachelors’ Theses

In discussing methods of learning at all, it may be well to define the word method. What is meant when one speaks of method? One dictionary definition is a mode of procedure, a manner, or way as a method of teaching. Dewey defines it in this way, "Method means that arrangement of subject matter which makes it most effective for use." If this definition is used, a relationship between method and subject matter must be conceded, the one cannot be isolated from the other although the attempt is still being made in many schools of today. Some of the dangers …

Institutional Management And Home Economist, George H. Black

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

We are on the threshold of a new technique in education for adults as well as for little children. The chief feature of the new technique, as opposed to the old and now conventional type, is that it is based upon participation while the old depends chiefly upon rationalization.
