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 …

Building The School Entertainment Day By Day: Sharing Experiences With The Community, Jennie Moore

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

"What school experiences will my pupils enjoy sharing with their friends?" you ask yourself. As you think of the people in the community, it seems probable that many of them learned to read by the word method, that they mastered spelling by the valiant repetition of letters, that history to them was a mass of names and dates, and that their recesses were listless breaks in the routine of classes. To see their children or their neighbor's children doing happily that which was drudgery to them will be a rare treat. And so arises the idea for your first school …

Supervised Study, Alice L. Priestley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, submitted to Xavier University in 1929, examines supervised study as an instructional method and argues for its superiority over traditional recitation-based teaching. Priestley traces the historical development of the teaching function through three stages, from the teacher as disciplinarian, through an emphasis on psychologizing instruction, to the contemporary movement toward directing and supervising pupils' independent learning activities.

The thesis reviews a series of experimental studies comparing supervised study to conventional recitation and home study methods, including investigations by Reavis, Richard, Hill-Quest, Breslich, Minnich, and Brown and Worthington, conducted across subjects including algebra, plane geometry, arithmetic, and poetry at …

Typical Methods Of Learning, Esther Zemke

Bachelors’ Theses

In discussing methods of learning at all, it may be well to define the word method. What is meant when one speaks of method? One dictionary definition is a mode of procedure, a manner, or way as a method of teaching. Dewey defines it in this way, "Method means that arrangement of subject matter which makes it most effective for use." If this definition is used, a relationship between method and subject matter must be conceded, the one cannot be isolated from the other although the attempt is still being made in many schools of today. Some of the dangers …

Project Teaching Of Manual Training, Henry J. Whitney

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Recent numbers of this magazine and other good publications have emphasized the necessity that manual training teachers have a well recognized theory back of their work, and further, that the value of the work of any teacher is in direct ratio to the clearness with which this theory is comprehended and followed in practice. A project is any activity purposed by an individual and by him carried through. Project teaching of manual training is the most difficult kind of teaching, but withall the most fruitful, for it furnishes the opportunity to develop those qualities of manhood that our democratic society …
