Team Oriented Research In The High School, D. N. West

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The purpose of this article is to describe a method used by the author to introduce a group of high school students to the research method. The initial search of literature and type of experimentation always require much expenditure of time and effort. Beyond a doubt the most consuming part of the entire investigation is verification of data obtained.

Collection And Culture Of Lower Animal Forms, Cameron L. Christensen

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The trend in secondary biology is to use living material in so far as it is possible. Biology instruction, as it has advanced beyond the descriptive level, has included more projects requiring living animals. The local collecting and culturing of some of these organisms adds just that much more biological experience to the course.

A Study Of The Public Relations Program Of The Valley Park School, Cedar Falls, Iowa, Puran L. Rajpal

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Public relations is a relatively new field in educational administration and it has possibilities for further study that have scarcely been explored. "It is new in the sense that the importance of this field was not formally recognized until a few years ago when provisions were made for it in the management of educational institutions. In recent years educational leaders have been increasingly aware of the importance of effective school public relationships. James L. Hymes, Jr., said, "Home-school relations is a new field. Very little research and experimentation are available as direct guides.”

It was the purpose of this study …

A Validation Study Of The Beck Word-Color Association Test With The Minnesota Counseling Inventory, Camilla Russell Bernauer

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Educators are always alert and watchful for new and better instruments of measurement to be used in serving the student in gaining new insights into his concept of self.

Any new test, any new approach to this assessment, is worthy of careful research and analysis. While studying at the State College of Iowa, the writer was introduced to the Beck Word-Color Association Test. In the analysis of two gifted boys in Cedar Falls, Iowa, it …

A Study Of Selected Employers’ Opinions Regarding The Terminal Education Programs Of Secondary Schools In Davenport, Iowa, Gerald Dwight Clemmensen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of the failings of American education today is its inability to meet the needs of the average student in high school. Because of this failing, many young people, mostly boys, will drop out of high school sometime between beginning the tenth grade and finishing the twelfth grade. Because American education does not meet the needs of the average student, many youths, job hunting immediately following graduation from high school, will face a more difficult time in locating some type of employment than their elders did during the early 1930's.
