Kindergarten Teachers' Conceptions Of Reading, Kelly Duane Tolman
Kindergarten Teachers' Conceptions Of Reading, Kelly Duane Tolman
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This study attempted to identify the reading conceptions of a sample of kindergarten teachers in the state of Utah in terms of five basic approaches to beginning reading. The subjects responded to a survey instrument that included 45 statements about various beginning reading methodologies.
The descriptive data generated from the study indicates that no significant differences exist among the teachers' preferences for any of the five conceptions of reading. The data also indicates that no significant differences exist between teacher preferences for "content-centered" conceptions of reading and "pupil-centered" conceptions of reading.
This apparent lack of a preference for the "pupil-centered" …

Simulations For Teaching Concepts On Washington State, Cynthia Louise Buettgenbach
Simulations For Teaching Concepts On Washington State, Cynthia Louise Buettgenbach
All Graduate Projects
Simulation lessons and materials were developed to teach concepts on Washington State to a classroom of fourth grade students. The activities in which the students participated were the following:
1) planned trips to the five geographic regions of Washington State;
2) became part of an Indian tribe and held a meeting with other tribes at Sacajawea Park;
3) played a board game, traveling with Lewis and Clark to the Pacific Ocean;
4) held mock state elections and one legislative session.
Students showed an increased interest in social studies through the simulations.

Physical Science Workshop Course For Elementary Teachers, Glen T. Clayton, Harry D. Downing, Thomas O. Callaway
Physical Science Workshop Course For Elementary Teachers, Glen T. Clayton, Harry D. Downing, Thomas O. Callaway
Faculty Publications
Science for elementary school grades K-6 varies somewhat in content from one textbook series to another, but it is fairly common that 40-60% of the material covered is directly related to physics. These texts suggest that certain learning activities such as experiments, demonstrations, and observations be carried out by the teacher and the class. Often the apparatus for a learning activity is to be constructed from simple, readily available materials. The typical elementary school teacher has had little experience in performing experiments and is often frustrated in his/her attempts at carrying out the suggested learning activity. To meet this need …

Data for this study was collected during the period September, 1982 and April, 1983 at Sunnyside Elementary School, North Clackamas School District Number 12, Clackamas, Oregon. The raw data for the measured interest and recreational nonfiction books checked out were arranged by Dewey Decimal Classification tens. By using the Pearson product-moment correlation …

Educator Preparation & Leadership Faculty Works
The intent of this yearbook is to provide a positive posture for nurturing desirable changes in the status of science teaching. It is written for elementary school teachers and all who are involved or concerned with curriculum and instruction in the elementary school. The yearbook provides the basis for continued professional growth of teachers by stressing ways to logically and realistically infuse science and science-related instructions into schools and to assure that science will remain valued as new patterns of schooling evolve. As a means of promoting science relevancy and literacy, interfaces between science teaching and other areas of human …
