The Central Midwest Educational Research's (CEMREL) Elements of Mathematics Program (EM) for gifted students was piloted in Tidewater for five years. Before deciding whether to continue or expand the program, it was necessary to devise a method of evaluating the program's effectiveness. In the process of this evaluation, two separate com­parisons were made:

- a lateral comparison between an experimental and an existing control class over a period of four years, and

- a longitudinal comparison of successive experimental classes over a four year period.

The History Of Men's Intercollegiate Swimming At Old Dominion University 1936-1975, William B. Baylor Jr.

Human Movement Studies & Special Education Theses & Dissertations

In this paper I have undertaken the task of compiling a history of the men's intercollegiate swimming teams of Old Dominion University. Swimming has been and still is a poorly publicized varsity sport at Old Dominion University. The many hours of grueling practice the swimmers endure and the fine individual efforts put forth in the meets are seldom topics on campus or in the community. As a swimmer for four years at Old Dominion University I was always disturbed by the apathy toward intercollegiate swimming. I feel as though the swimmers past, present, and future deserve some recognition and I …

Are facilities and equipment necessary to teach this course available in the local high schools? 4. Is there enough time available in the teaching schedules of the Distributive Education coordinators to allow the addition of the new senior intensified retail selling program?

Electroplating, James G. Farrell

OTS Master's Level Projects & Papers

Electrometallurgical industries comprise an important segment of the world's manufacture of metal products. These industries involve three major categories: electrowinnowing, electrorefining and electroplating. Electrowinnowing consists of purifying raw ore to a relatively pure metal by electrolysis. Extraction of aluminum from bauxite is an example. Electrorefining involves electrolysis of metallic solutions to recover or produce extremely pure metal. Recovery of precious metals is often done by electrorefining. Electroplating involves the coating of one metal or object with another metal for various reasons. The chief reasons are the protection of a part from corrosion or its beautification. Another type of electroplating is …

An Interdisciplinary Semantic Analysis Of Labels For "Emotional Disturbance", Mary Lou Green

Communication Disorders & Special Education Theses & Dissertations

A systematic pilot investigation of connotative differences in the meaning of commonly used labels for "emotional disturbance" was undertaken with psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, elementary-education teachers, special-education teachers, and counselors in the Tidewater area of Virginia. The Semantic Differential technique de eloped by Osgood (1952) was selected as the method of investigation, and an instrument was prepared from a sample of the professional and nonprofessional populations through the use of a modified paper-and-pencil free association.
