Mathematics Education For Gifted Students, Wayne Roberts

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Three Minnesotans were among the 25 secondary students invited to a special training session held on the campus of the Naval Academy at Annapolis this past summer. This program, designed for students who represent an important national resource in a technologically competitive world, is held each summer. Students qualify for invitation on the basis of a series of examinations conducted by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA).

The over-representation of Minnesota is noteworthy because it reverses a long-standing pattern in which our best students have been underrepresented in the MAA program to identify outstanding students of mathematics. The results in …

An Evaluation Of Science Education In Minnesota: Grades 7-12, Frances Lawrenz, Elizabeth Thornton

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

There is a national priority for change in education, and in science education particularly (1). In a review of national data, the National Science Board (2) states that American students perform poorly in comparison with students from other industrialized nations and even with students from some third world countries. The 1986 National Assessment of Educational Progress science assessment (3) provides evidence that student understanding of science concepts is improving from the recent past but still has not compensated for declines in the 1970s. The NAEP science data suggest that a majority of our nation's 17-year-olds are poorly equipped for informed …

Issues In Teaching Science, M. Ediger

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Vital issues in the science curriculum include: 1) product versus process goals; 2) inductive versus deductive learning; 3) a psychological versus a logical curriculum; and 4) subject centered versus activity centered units of study. Each student needs to achieve optimally regardless of the position(s\ taken by science teachers on any one of the above named issues.

Effect Of Behavioral Objectives On Student Achievement In Biology, Dale R. Carlson

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

This study attempts to determine if utilization of behavioral objectives in the freshman biology sequence significantly improved student achievement. The mean grade point of students in the sequence in the two years preceding the use of behavioral objectives was compared with the mean grade point of students in the sequence in two years when behavioral objectives were applied. A one tailed t-test using mean biology grade point was used to test the directional hypothesis: the experimental group achieved at a. significantly higher level than the control group. The directional hypothesis was tested at the .05 level of significance for a …

Interactive Statistical Computing For Undergraduate Liberal Arts Education, Becky Lindquist, William L. Carlson, Ralph Bjork

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

St. Olaf College at Northfield, Minnesota, has an Interactive Statistical Analysis System for classroom research usage. SODAS (St. Olaf Data Analysis System) operates on a Minicomputer Time Sharing System (DEC PDP / 1140 has 15 terminals, 64K of core, and 3 disks). SODAS is used extensively by students for study of statistics, course projects, and research. In addition, it is used for faculty research . This system has increased student interest by involving them in realistic problems. In addition, student sophistication in problem solving has increased. The paper discusses the system design, the philosophy of interactive computing, and the pedagogical …

An Experimental Introductory Course For Prospective Secondary Science Teachers, Marjorie A. Boeck

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Described is a first course in education at the University of Minnesota for prospective science teachers which combines educational psychology, science content and micro-leaching experiences. The methods used and logistical problems related to such a course also are described. Students in the course kept daily logs of their reactions lo curricular materials, teaching techniques, and the micro-teaching experience to provide positive feedback to the instructors. In an examination covering the psychology aspects, all students in the combined course scored above the median for students from other sections. This experimental course has been adopted as the pattern for all science education …
