Building The School Entertainment Day By Day: Cooperating Rather Than Competing In Play, Jennie Moore

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

To justify any school entertainment as an educational instrument, it must be rich in the learnings gained by day in the school through careful teacher guidance. How well does the average athletic meet express sound educational practice?

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 …

Phonics A General Survey Of The Subject, Mary Rosalie

Bachelors’ Theses

"Phonics is a term usually applied to the study of sounds as they are related to reading." Its aim is to give the child power in the independent recognition of words, therefore, a knowledge of the use of phonics has always been considered a necessary part of the primary teacher's equipment, and probably no question has been more widely asked in the field of primary reading, than, "How and when shall phonics be taught?"

Health Work In The Elementary And Grammar Grades And Its Motivation, Alice Thies

Bachelors’ Theses

If we examine a school curriculum made a half century ago, we shall find that the course in health instruction at that time consisted of lessons on bodily structure. Upon examination of later curricula, we shall find a gradual change in content to that of health instruction. Within the last few years, added knowledge concerning nutrition and growth, physical defects with their causes and results, and mental hygiene, has led to the realization that there must be new objectives and principles for the course in school hygiene. By referring to recent books, magazines, and addresses on this subject, I have …

A Study Of The Vocational Placement Of Pupils Of The Elementary And High Schools, Robert Louie Colthart

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

There was a time when people could go West and become empire builders; when there was little competition, but the resources which nature provided so abundantly no longer exist in their vastness. Pioneers and adventurers have skinned the cream of these luxuries. It is necessary now for science and its cohorts to substitute skill, knowledge, and training for the vagrancies of chance and its dependence upon fate.

There was a time when a boy raised on a farm had to stay on the farm; there was no city where he could find work. There was a time when the village …

The Place Of Extra-Curricular Activities In The Junior High School, Borgia Rettler

Bachelors’ Theses

"Extra-Curricular Activities" is becoming a familiar phrase. It refers to "those legitimate activities which ·are not provided for in that part of the school program which is usually designated as the curriculum." (1) The phrase is apparently new, yet the activities it refers to · are, in elementary form, as old as our educational system itself. · The Friday afternoon exercises, the spell-downs, and athletics under various forms, are of long standing in American schools. Previous to the last ten or fifteen years, however, such activities were carried on in an unsystematic way and consequently had no definite plan of …

Nutrition Of The Elementary School Child, Lucy I. Welch

Bachelors’ Theses

Realizing how this greatest of all national resources has been squandered, the people of today are aroused to the need of conservation of the race. They realize that the future of the country depends on the strength and vigor of the children of today. This realization, that the child must have a body, "as splendid as a king's castle -- with food that serves his needs, with play and rest and the habits which shall safeguard him through life," (2) is the chief reason for the development of the health and nutrition work.

The Teaching Of English In The Elementary Schools, Julia Agnes Regan

Bachelors’ Theses

From one point of view the significance of the development of modern education can best be estimated by the progress of the mother-tongue toward the central place in formal instruction. When the study of the mother-tongue and its literature is made the core of the curriculum, education is something quite different from that training in which a foreign, perhaps an ancient tongue holds the chief place. We have been told by one school of critics that the mother-tongue need not be taught, for it will be picked up somehow; by another, that it cannot be taught, for there is nothing …

Long-Term Outcomes Of Low-Achieving Third Grade Readers, Emily Jordan, Sarah C. Mckenzie, Gary W. Ritter

Arkansas Education Reports

Research shows that students who demonstrate low reading achievement in 3rd grade have trouble catching back up to grade level and being successful in school, compared to their peers who demonstrate early proficiency (Fiester 2010; Hernandez 2011; Juel 1988). This report seeks to investigate what happens to Arkansas public school students who demonstrate low achievement in reading in 3rd grade. Reading scores from three cohorts of students are followed from 3rd grade until high school, beginning with data from the 2008-09 school year and continuing through 2016-17.
