Perceptions Of Northwest Vocational Agriculture Instructors Regarding Knowledge Of Microcomputers And Value Of Proposed Micrcomputer Programs In Agriculture, James A. Church, Richard M. Foster

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

The primary purpose of this study (Church, 1982) was to identify microcomputer topics that might be of value as part of the instructional programs of secondary vocational agriculture in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. The specific objectives were to:

1. Determine the knowledge possessed by Northwest vocational agriculture instructors regarding microcomputer usage and capability.
2. Determine the need for inservice training in microcomputer usage for Northwest vocational agriculture instructors
3. Determine which microcomputer systems were most readily available to Northwest vocational agriculture instructors.

4. Analyze the value placed by Northwest vocational agriculture instructors on selected microcomputer topics for use in the curriculum.

The Importance Of Selected Activities Affecting The Role Of Vocational Agriculture Instructors As Perceived By Vocational Agriculture Instructors, Principals, And Superintendents In Idaho, Michael G. Rush, Richard M. Foster

Department of Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communication: Faculty Publications

The primary purpose of this study (Rush, 1982) was to evaluate differences in how vocational agriculture instructors and their administrators viewed the importance of selected activities of vocational agriculture instructors. Views of principals and superintendents regarding the importance of the duties and responsibilities of the vocational agriculture instructor were also compared.

1. To identify the differences between vocational agriculture instructors and administrators in their perceptions of the importance of selected activities of vocational agriculture instructors.
2. To identify the amount of time vocational agriculture instructors and administrators believe the vocational agriculture teacher should spend carrying out responsibilities of the job.
3. To identify …

The Use Of Feuerstein’S Instrumental Enrichment With Underprepared College Students: A Pilot Study, Michael Kieta

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This pilot study investigated the usage of Feuerstein’s (1980) Instrumental Enrichment with underprepared college students. Open admissions policies in colleges and universities have resulted in the enrollment of many students who are underprepared to meet the academic task demands. Courses have been developed by the colleges and universities to remediate the academic deficits of underprepared students. Remedial courses using traditional educational methods have been largely ineffective. Cognitive process instruction (CPI) is an area of educational research that recently began to receive increased attention in the field of remedial education. The goal of CPI has been to develop the cognitive/thought processes …

Using Mathematical Concepts To Illustrate Scriptural And Spiritual Ideas, Robert Brabenec

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983

Christian mathematics faculty and students respond in differing ways to this idea of applying mathematics to Scripture, and vice-versa. Mathematics is man-made, while Scripture is inspired by God, so they should be disjoint entities. However, it is well known that the Scripture used analogies of familiar human objects and ideas in order to explain spiritual ideas. This paper discusses various mathematical concepts and how they illustrate Scriptural and spiritual ideas.

The Activitiy And Application Of Mathematics, R. S. D. Thomas

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983

There are four so-called philosophies of mathematics that I regard as totally discredited, formalism, intuitionism, logicism, and Platonism. It is a common feature of the ism philosophies of mathematics that they do not take the application of mathematics very seriously. This paper examines a view of mathematics that takes applications seriously.

Mathematics: The Loss Of Certainty, Calvin Jongsma

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983

Morris Kline was a contentious mathematician and author, documenting (as he saw it) both the deficiencies of mid-twentieth-century reformist trends in mathematics education and formalist views of the foundations (and practice) of mathematics. This brief introduction to a discussion of Kline's 1980 book and its mixed reception by the mathematics community provides a context for assessing his ideas as part of his overall views on the nature of mathematics.

Business Opportunities Within Appalachian Kentucky, Robert Justice

Faculty Research at Morehead State University

This report's methodology involves comparing the average local population per store for a particular business with state averages for that business to determine whether sufficient population exists to support a new business. By using this methodology, 382 prospective business opportunities have been identified out of a possible 1,416. The potential opportunities are divided into the retail , service, and construction sectors and are targeted for 12 market areas within Appalachian Kentucky.

A Comparative Study Of Christian Mathematical Realism And Its Humanistic Alternatives, Paul Zwier

ACMS Journal 2004

This paper addresses the growing popularity of views of mathematics that see it primarily as a social entity and that reject Platonism. It contrasts two Christian realist philosophies - those of Alvin Plantinga and Vernon Poythress - with the secular perspective of Philip Davis and Reuben Hersch. It affirms the insight of Davis and Hersch that mathematics is indeed a social entity. However, it argues that belief in God enables a fuller understanding of mathematics - one that accounts for the apparent transcendence of mathematics and its power to explain concepts in the physical world.
