Attitudes Of Freshmen In The Pre-Professional Preparation Program At Central Washington State College, Fredrick Newton Paul

All Master's Theses

This study investigated the effect of the Central Washington State College pre-planned quarter on prospective teacher's attitudes toward pupil-teacher relations. For this study, "attitudes toward pupil-teacher relations" was operationally defined as the score gained on the Minnesota Teacher Attitude Inventory. A key concept introduced by the Pre-Professional Preparation Program at Central Washington State College (in addition to the group living concept) was the actual classroom experience afforded the participants. This was one of the main experiences provided in the pre-planned quarter. If prospective teachers were going to leave college with skills which would give them the best opportunity for teaching …

A Reading Study Skills Course For A Community College, La Ree C. Rasmussen

All Master's Theses

The ability to read is no longer limited to the literal meaning of the word, but is increasingly dependent upon the reader's ability to recognize the style of writing, so that he knows whether to apply denotative or connotative meanings to what he is reading. Because reading needs have changed and will continue to change as rapidly as our culture changes, it is necessary to continuously develop and improve reading skills. The purpose of this study is to: (1) enumerate the reading study skills needed by college students, (2) describe the details of a reading study skills program, (3) and …

An Elementary Mathematics Curriculum Study To Determine If Achievement And Attitude Can Be Influenced By A Textbook Adoption, Elsie M. Railey

All Master's Theses

There is on the market a wide range of contemporary mathematics textbooks available. Textbooks approach mathematics differently and there is a variation in terms of the amount of time allocated to a topic, the development of elementary concepts and laws of arithmetic, and the amount of drill and repetition. The sequential development of the texts follows closely, but the scope and content differ significantly. Specifically, it is the purpose of this study to determine if there is a significant difference between series, as opposed to those in another mathematics series, in the variables of attitude and achievement. The two textbooks …

An Application Of A Revised Morrissett's Curriculum Analysis System To A High School English Program, Eldon Richard Loewe

All Master's Theses

The problem presented in this thesis is threefold. Taken together, these items present the bulk of work for any person attempting curriculum evaluation at the local level:

1. Meaningful evaluative information must be obtained. Instead of glib and generalized assumptions about what ought to be, one should achieve specific information relevant to the researcher as well as his departmental colleagues.

2. The information must relate to other studies so that a larger curriculum analysis will result. If the soundest method of national evaluation is to create concrete building blocks locally, these individual studies must mesh to provide something larger and …

A Study Of The Values And Problems Relative To The Use Of Parents And Other Resource Persons In The Elementary School Social Studies Program, Evelyn L. Larson

Graduate Student Research Papers

One of the purposes of this study was to find if the use of resource persons is a valuable and sound method of teaching. Another purpose was to find the values of such teaching to the child, to the teacher and to the parent. Is it a justifiable technique for developing the purposes and reaching the goals of a well planned social studies program? Another purpose was to expose the problems involved in the use of this method and to try to solve at least some of them.

[p.5, ed]

This essay deals with the problems which Australian universities face. [p.6, ed]

It deals with issues of attitudes towards Australian universities, subjects, curriculum, barriers to entry and much more.

Institutional Management And Home Economist, George H. Black

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

We are on the threshold of a new technique in education for adults as well as for little children. The chief feature of the new technique, as opposed to the old and now conventional type, is that it is based upon participation while the old depends chiefly upon rationalization.

A Review Of The Pedagogical Studies In The Teaching Of Spelling, Mary A. Grupe

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Despite the fact that a few far-seeing men have, from the early years of the eighteenth century, inveighed against the dominance of spelling and the "cruel drudgery" it entailed upon the learner, the subject remained an independent discipline far into the nineteenth century. To be able to spell was the criterion whereby to judge the educated man and so ingrained did this become in the popular mind that even to this day our grandfathers, nay our fathers, dubiously shake their heads because spelling no longer occupies a conspicuous place on the schoolroom program and because, as they insist, the rising …
