Cursive Writing, Kathy Bittle
Cursive Writing, Kathy Bittle
Honors Theses
There is no generally accepted agreement concerning the exact time when cursive writing should be introduced. Ruth G. Strickland says that the second grade appears to a number of people to be too early for two reasons: (a) children still have not developed enough muscular skill to make cursive writing easy and an excessive amount of time must be spent learning it, and (b) children have just reaching the stage in which they can enjoy manuscript writing as a tool and are beginning to be better writers. Herrick says that, in general, the time necessary for making the transition decreases …
Teaching Music Concepts Through Games, Gennie Eldridge
Teaching Music Concepts Through Games, Gennie Eldridge
Honors Theses
The purpose of this Honors Project is to derive games and visual aids to help a child learn different musical concepts. From my own experiences of being a student and from teaching piano, it is my opinion that the more creative and versatile a teacher is, the more a child will learn.

It is a well-known fact that children dislike practicing, but by presenting different concepts in a way that …

The focus of this project is on fundamentals, and little attention is given to the more advanced problems one encounters in writing interview, speech and feature stories.

Behavior Modification, Lois Cox
Behavior Modification, Lois Cox
Honors Theses
Even though this seems to be a relatively new area of education, as early as 1920 behavior modification has been used in correcting behavior.
J.B. Watson had four basic ideas in this area: 1. The educational response of fear could be conditioned. 2. It would transfer to stimuli other than the initial stimulus which caused the fear. 3. The fear would last over a period of time. 4. It could be unlearned.
These four items are very similar to the techniques used today in the modification program. Watson's experiment with a small child named Albert proved his above theories to …
