A Comparative Investigation Of The Effects Of Frequent Testing Upon Achievement In Secondary Advanced Algebra, John Thomas Fullerton
A Comparative Investigation Of The Effects Of Frequent Testing Upon Achievement In Secondary Advanced Algebra, John Thomas Fullerton
All Master's Theses
Relatively speaking, few studies have concerned themselves with the problem of frequent testing, and as Keys pointed out, empirical evidence, uncomplicated by differences in the amount of testing material employed, on the effects of frequent testing is, at best, scarce (14:427). Also many studies used tests and test results for direct instruction, thus introducing additional variables. Furthermore, the choice of subjects and disciplines has been limited, the better part being taken from college psychology and sociology classes or high school science classes. This investigation was not an attempt to modify previous experiments, nor was it an attempt to identify which …

Final Examination Scores In Algebra As A Function Of Retesting, Otto Francis Ruud
Final Examination Scores In Algebra As A Function Of Retesting, Otto Francis Ruud
All Master's Theses
Many teachers as well as students feel that our system of evaluation is far from perfect, but these same people have offered no alternative workable plan which would in whole or in part relieve the objections. Hopefully this study will demonstrate a philosophy of the teaching of mathematics in conjunction with a companion plan of evaluation which will relieve many of the basic objections while at the same time produce more learning. The philosophy that a more cooperative attitude in regard to assignments, testing, and make-up work are more conducive to learning is the basic aspect of this study. It …

Graduate Student Research Papers
Curricular change is a dynamic process. It does not lend itself -well to a snapshot illustration, but rather to the continuity of a moving picture. Such a picture is to be presented in this paper. As new programs evolve, certain weaknesses develop. This paper proposes to point out possible danger areas existent in the recent teaching of solid geometry.
Providing For Individual Differences In The Elementary School Arithmetic Program, Robert S. Allen
Providing For Individual Differences In The Elementary School Arithmetic Program, Robert S. Allen
Graduate Student Research Papers
How can individual differences be provided for in the elementary school arithmetic program? It is obvious that if all pupils in the elementary schools are required to follow the same course of study, read the same books, do the same exercises, solve the same problems, and pass the same examinations, there can be little provision for individual differences. It was the purpose of this study to present practices used or usable to provide for individual differences.
