Biological Olympiads In The Ussr, Vyacheslav Dushenkov

Publications and Research

Biological Olympiads are the sort of intellectual competition widely spread nowadays, especially among high school students. Olympiads, often an integral part of the curriculum, stimulate the pupils' interest in acquiring knowledge and help to evaluate the level of their knowledge. Biological Olympiads in this country differ greatly from the science Olympiad in the USA. First of all, they include only biological material and can be compared only with USA Science Olympiad events such as "A is for Anatomy," "Bio-Process Lab," "Designer Genes" or "Don't Bug Me." Secondly, it is a personal competition with no official teams. Current Olympiads start at …

Microcomputer-Based Laboratory Experiments Involving Motion And Force, John B. Cole

Theses and Dissertations

Because of the increased availability and use of microcomputers in the high school, it is extremely important for science teachers to begin to incorporate this invaluable tool in their classrooms and laboratories. Science teachers need to employ the advantages that computer-based education offers. Since studying science not only involves learning factual information and learning how to solve predetermined problems, but also directly observing and monitoring naturally occurring events, there are possibilities for the use of microcomputers in science that do not exist in other areas of study.

One of the most imaginative ways that microcomputers can be used in science …

Hands-On Support Materials For Schoolwide Science Project In Middle Schools, Jane Y. Grizzle

Theses and Dissertations

The establishment of a Chapter 1 Schoolwide Project middle school created a need to develop a hands-on science program for middle school students with academic deficiencies. This program considered the following criteria: (a) academic needs of adolescent learners, (b) validation of hands-on methods for middle school students, and (c} design of a classroom facility to accommodate hands-on activities. It was the purpose of this project to plan and implement such a program.

Practice Exercises-For The Georgia Teacher Certification Test In Mathematics, Beverly M. Davis

Theses and Dissertations

Since the Georgia Teacher Testing Program began in 1978, thousands of Georgia teachers and teacher candidates have taken the Georgia Teacher Certification Test (TCT) in mathematics. Although the mathematics test has been found to be valid, reliable, unbiased, and job-related, many test takers fail the test the first time the test is taken and consequently retake the test until a passing score is made or choose not to retake the test.

Multiple choice practice exercises were developed to assist those who are preparing to take this test. These practice exercises are based on objectives, assessment characteristics, and content components outlined …

Mathematics Achievement And Writing Assignments Among Urban Middle-School Students, Jan T. Whitaker

Theses and Dissertations

Thirty-seven eighth-grade students from a middle grade urban school in the southeast served as subjects for the study of whether the inclusion of writing assignments affected mathematics achievement. Total math scores on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills were compared before and after various writing exercises were given to one class. A comparison of the post-test means found no significant difference between the treatment and the control! group scores.

The Effect Of The Prime Experience On The Mathematics Confidence And Achievement In Measurement Concepts And Skills Of Sixth Grade Females, Mary Jo Trask

Theses and Dissertations

Three rising sixth graders were randomly selected from the group of girls participating in PRIME camp at Columbus College the week of July 20-24, 1992, for the study of mathematics confidence and achievement in measurement concepts and skills. The three girls were asked to respond to a Fennema-Sherman scale and to participate in three measurement activities during the week of July 20-24, 1992, at PRIME camp at Columbus College. The attitudinal scale was scored and a journal of responses was kept on the activities in which each girl participated. The measurement activities were repeated in November and the attitudinal scale …

A Study Of The Benefits Of Reflection By Journal Writing In Mathematical Learning And Attitudes In The Primary School, Sally Edmonds

Theses : Honours

This descriptive study examines journal writing for the purpose of identifying aspects of children's mathematical reflective ability. It was hypothesised that encouragement to engage with the process of mathematics by reflective writing would reveal and assist learning, and give children a vehicle through which they could express their attitudes about the mathematics they were learning. The aim of this study was to find answers to the following question: How does the keeping of a mathematical journal reveal children's understandings of the mathematics they are learning? Other questions related to the study were: -What evidence is there from the journals about …

When Mathematicians And Mathematics Teachers Come Together, Ronald B. Narode

Curriculum and Instruction Faculty Publications and Presentations

In accordance with recommendations from educators and educational researchers [Wilcox, et a!, 1991; Schwab, 1976], recent attempts to integrate the communities of professional mathematicians and high school mathematics teachers in the U.S A. have resulted in several summer institutes which bring these groups together for up to four weeks. Through living, working, and studying together, the two normally disparate groups are expected to develop a dialogue for the mutual benefit of the participants and for their students. The present study of one such institute was conducted with the use of interviews of the participants, examination of some of the teachers' …
