The Color Achievement Program As A Method Of Marking In The Physical Education Class At Logan Junior High School, Richard Sackett

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Marks offer a way of satisfying the urge to excel and are, therefore, considered to be extremely important to many educators. Other educators believe that the quest for commendable marks tends to distract attention from the true goal, and thus becomes an impediment to learning. Regardless of the conflicting attitudes, educators should establish a marking system which reflects awareness of the best grading principles and represents a wise selection of determining basic factors. Marks should never be permitted to become the all-important goal, and educators cannot expect a marking system to overcome uninspired teaching. The mark should reflect the worth …

A Study Of Elementary Physical Education At The Whittier School, Logan, Utah, Phyllis C. Jacobson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Since the First World War, there has been an increased recognition for the need of physical education in the elementary school. Although educators recognize and agree on the need, they are not in agreement as to how to best achieve this need. Some educators believe that physical education should be taught as a specialized subject. Through this means, instruction is provided by a specialist who is trained in physical education. Some educators believe that physical education should be integrated with every other phase of the school program and taught by the classroom teacher. There are other educators who believe that …

A Study Of Administrative Policies And Procedures For Girls' Physical Education In Selected Secondary Schools Of Southern Utah, Ann L. Lamb

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Each person in education from the Commissioner of Education down to the classroom teacher is concerned with administration. Each has administrative duties. The way these duties are conducted and carried out will have a direct influence on the outcome of any physical education program and each child within this program.

Through the Tenth Amendment responsibility for the administration of education has been turned over to the various states. Most of the states through their constitutions place the responsibility upon the legislature to provide for organization and maintenance of public school systems. This body then draws up the statutory laws and …

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

While the majority of parents, teachers and administrators are fully aware of the importance of a program of hearing conservation in the schools and readily endorse one, I am convinced that they are not aware of the serious inadequacies of the method of testing the hearing ability of school children that is generally used throughout the state of Washington.
