Relationships Between Iowa High School Physical Science Programs And Placement Test Scores Of Iowa State Teachers College Students, Pauline Georgia Berg

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

A physical science test has been administered to each member of the freshman class upon entrance to Iowa State Teachers College since the fall of 1952. The individual score on this placement test determines whether that student will enroll in 82:20 The Physical Sciences, whether he will enroll in a science course chosen by the student, or whether he may be excused from all required physical science courses in the general education program.

A Study Of The Adequacy Of High School Physics Laboratory Work For General Education, Robert F. Stone

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to determine the adequacy of high school physics laboratory work for general education. The problems involved to achieve this purpose were: the determination of the outcomes of high school physics laboratory work; the determination of the objectives of science instruction in general education; and the evaluation of the outcomes of the first in terms of the second.

The Relative Merits Of Teaching Schorling And Clark Mathematics Without The Aid Of Drill, Compared To Teaching It With The Aid Of Two Kinds Of Drill, Edward E. Royse

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

This study attempts two things: (1) to find if Schorling and Clark Modern Mathematics, one of the adopted texts of Kansas, provides enough drill in the eighth grade; and (2) to weigh the value of two kinds of drill, viz., a flash-card machine and a drill test book.

Is High School Chemistry A Preparation For College Chemistry, Mansfield Martin

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The subject of this study grew out of a desire to estimate the value of high school chemistry and its relation to college chemistry. The purpose is to bring about a better understanding of the necessity of a closer tie-up between different levels of our educational system. Life and growth are continuous processes, and, if education if life, we must make it a continuous experience. While limited because of incomplete records and changing classifications of our high schools, it is hoped that this study will lead to a further and more scientific study of related problems in this field.

Teaching Of General Science In The Junior High School, Joseph T. Petska

Bachelors’ Theses

In this age of science and materialism there is not in the writers opinion, a more enriching course in our high schools as is a well balanced, well organized course in general science! It is enriching because, if taught well, it functions in the lives of the learners, it bridges the gap between the life of the learner and his environment.

The writer feels that the work in general science is of great importance and is worthy of the best thought of those responsible for the details of the courses in this subject in the junior high school. In spite …

Zoology In The High School Curriculum, Henry B. Ward

Studies from the University of Nebraska Zoological Laboratory

A long time has elapsed since Bacon gave to the world the sound advice that “ we should accustom ourselves to things themselves.” Little by little this idea has gained ground, until now it is recognized as a general principle in every grade of educational work and in widely separated departments of study that contact with concrete objects is far more inspiring and thought-producing than the mere scanning of black marks on a white page. So far as natural science is concerned, the varied training which it affords has been abundantly discussed before this association and elsewhere. To be sure, …
