This investigation was designed to analyze change in critical .
thinking between students in laboratory-centered and lecture-demonstration-centered patterns of instruction in high school biology.
Twenty biology classes were randomly selected from the four
senior high schools in the Salt Lake City School District. Class enrollment
ranged from nine students in...
This investigation was designed to determine the extent to which
students who are completing planned curricula in mathematics education
are proficient in spatial visualization abilities and possess mathematical
understandings. The effects of mathematics curricula upon
the development of these abilities and understandings and the relationships
between these abilities and understandings...
The purpose of this study was to test in practice the perceptual
field approach learning theory with students identified as slow
learners. The essential aim was to achieve significant improvement
in the self adjustment of the students while not inhibiting their
learning of biology. The approaches and techniques of perceptual...
This research was conducted to compare the performance of
community college students to four -year institutional students both
of which were enrolled in one of three different programs of general
college chemistry for nonscience majors during the 1967 -68 academic
year. The three programs were defined as follows:
Program A...
This study was designed to evaluate the relative effectiveness
of a new college general biology course which utilized an audio -
tutorial laboratory as contrasted with a traditional lecture course.
Five biology classes with 720 students at the Kansas State
Teachers College in Emporia, Kansas, participated in the study.
The...
This study was designed with two major aims. The first was toexamine certain characteristics of both Departmental and Non- Departmentalteachers who were teaching matriculation chemistry in SouthAustralian secondary schools during 1967. The numbers of teacherswho participated were: Departmental 40, and Non - Departmental 23.The second was to ascertain certain learning...
Acquisition of divergent-productive thinking skills by using
elementary science materials constitutes the basic idea of this experiment.
The data collected was used to determine statistically if
the materials had a significant role in inducing such skills.
The Ss were fifth-grade students obtained from two public elementary
schools in Oregon. Those...
Considerable evidence exists to suggest the notion that selected
personality traits may be related to specific aspects of academic
achievement. This study was directed toward the investigation of this
relationship in the case of non-science majors enrolled in a college
course in physical science.
Personality was assessed with the California...
