In addition to finding out the kinds of errors and their frequency, it is earnestly hoped that some conclusions may be reached as to what instructional methods may be employed to advantage in teaching English to dictation students in such a way that they will be well prepared for the tasks that the business office will require of them.

Maneuvers In World History, Harold E. Barto

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

In February 1935 the Washington Education Joumal carried a brief article under the title of "World History, 'What's It All About?'" Since then several letters have come from world history teachers from within the state. Frankly, they have caused some embarrassment. In almost one accord they have chided the writer with pointing out some of the problems relative to presenting world history without giving a hint as to possible remedial measures. The following suggestions no doubt represent methods which are being employed by all history teachers either directly or indirectly. They are neither new nor unique. However, they may help …

A Comparative Study Of The New-Type & Old-Type Assignment, Mary Tanner

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The assignment is the teacher's one best chance of stimulating children with a desire for the work that is to follow. For this reason it should be carefully and methodically given and should be definite and clear. Study increases in intelligence somewhat in the degree that the main or salient features of the material to be studied are emphasized in the assignments.

The History Workbook, Helen Porter

Bachelors’ Theses

The aim of this thesis is to determine whether or not the use of the workbook is justified, and if so in what a good technique consists. Several workbooks have been examined in this attempt, and books and magazines secured from the Milwaukee Public Library and the Marquette University Library have furnished the writer with much of the material used.

It is the purpose of the writer of this thesis to show that there is an awakening consciousness, among school administrators and authorities in the field of English teaching, of the need of clear and definite aims in the teaching of language, and to present some of the aims and objectives of upper grade language teaching at present in force in various school systems

The Teaching Of Current Events, Bernard C. Wiczynski

Bachelors’ Theses

The method of teaching current events received little or no attention by educators until after the World War. Teacher training institutions offered no courses in the subject; textbooks on methods failed to treat current events, because as a study it had not been given a formal place in the curriculum; and as a consequence, the classroom teacher, if she taught the subject at all, devoted but a few minutes a week from the history class to this branch of study. Because of the lack of proper guidance, current events was, as a rule, poorly taught.

Modern Concepts Of The Teaching Of Geography, Cora S. Peterson

Bachelors’ Theses

Geography as a subject has had a very slow growth in comparison with other subjects of the school curriculum in our schools as well as in European institutions of learning - its growth has, indeed, been slow - from a descriptive stage, through the present pseudoscientific stage, to the ideal stage of the future: that of a philosophical science. This coming science occupies a most important position in a well balanced scheme of education. It should, therefore, be taught in such a manner, particularly in the elementary schools, that it will be productive of that wide, deep, and practical culture …

Tests & Study Guides In Literature For Secondary Schools, Ida Nance

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

When the time came to choose a thesis subject, I immediately said Objective Tests Applicable to Collateral Reading. Having been told "nothing has been done along that line - almost nothing at all," I decided to extend my investigations to include any and all tests in high-school literature - tests for comprehension and appreciation, survey and achievement tests, and tests designed for collateral reading. Each phase of the study has been interesting, but I fear that I have remained somewhat partial to the unit first begun and have perhaps given it a bit more consideration than the other divisions have …

Is Formal Grammar Necessary In The High School?, Edward Ray

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This study does not attempt to decide which is the better method of presenting grammar to the high school pupil; that is a question which would require much more extensive research to answer. We are interested primarily in determining and evaluating the success in college formal grammar of students who have had formal grammar in high school as compared with the success of those who have not had high school formal grammar. The study, therefore, is an attempt to show the differences existing in preparation for college formal grammar on the part of the students who have had high school …
