A Study In Retention In Fundamental Operations In Algebra, George Adams

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The problem is to discover as nearly as possible, "The retention of sophomores, who the preceding year had taken algebra, in the four fundamental arithmetic operations of positive and negative numbers.” The four fundamental arithmetic operations are namely: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In making computations with positive and negative numbers there are four possibilities involving cases concerning a positive and a negative, a negative and a positive, two negative, and two positive numbers. Negative numbers are numbers having a minus value and positive numbers are numbers which have a plus value.

The Opportunity Class Of The Mary D. Hill School., Gladys E. Wyatt

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In almost every classroom in the country there are overage boys and girls, retarded children who have been pushed along through school after repeated failures have convinced both them and their teachers and companions that they are of little consequence. Since not much can be done to remedy the situation after so many years, the only solution in most cases is to pass the children along as rapidly as possible, allowing them to sit in the successive grades where the intellectual tasks are completely beyond their limited abilities. Here they acquire more bad habits and often become personality or behavior …

Non-Attendance And Ways To Improve Attendance In West Virginia, Richard Erwin Mccoy

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Partial completion of a task undertaken will never enable the participant to secure the full joy that accomplishment will bring. For a child to start this trend in the early stages of his training may lead to a thwarted aim, as well as, muted ambitions or incomplete behavior patterns. It has been the discouraging role of principals and teachers to observe the regressive effects of non-attendance upon children in the public schools. They have seen pupils who were doing good work in schools start being absent, their work become of poorer quality, until it was apparent the child would be …

A Study Of Form And Content For A Laboratory Manual To Be Used By Students In General Chemistry Laboratory, Berne P. Broadbent

Theses and Dissertations

This investigation was carried out for general chemistry classes in which recitation and laboratory work are closely integrated and in which very close supervision is given to laboratory classes. Results indicate that there are fewer failures under these conditions if students do individual work. Students receiving grades of over 80% seem to work just as effectively in pairs as they do when working individually, but about 5% who fail when working in pairs could, apparently obtain grades above 60% if they did individual work. The formal full statement type of report is substantially more effective than the questionaire report as …

Man is reciprocal:

The function of man's education is concerned with the dynamics of the reciprocity between man as the in- individual and man as a social group.

A Study Of The Academic Success Of Group Three In Halleck Hall Junior High School., Irene T. Hughes

An attempt has been made, under the direction of the principal, to classify pupils entering Halleck Hall Junior High School, into homogeneous groups. The low group composed of slow learners is known as Group Three. When the pupils enter Halleck Hall Junior High School, they are classified on …
