Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a required
mathematics content course upon prospective elementary school
teachers at Brigham Young University. The investigation consisted of
three major areas: (1) attitudes toward mathematics, (2) basic mathematical
understanding, and (3) the relationship between certain selected
variables.
Procedure...
This investigation was designed to compare the growth in attitudes
toward science and the critical thinking abilities of high
school juniors in chemistry to juniors not enrolled in chemistry.
One hundred and fifty-three chemistry students and 149 non-chemistry
students were randomly selected to participate in the study.
Criterion tests used...
The purpose of this study is to compare in selected outcomes the
effectiveness of an integrated chemistry-physics course with chemistry
and physics courses taught separately.
Six classes, three of which studied an integrated course prepared
from content of the CBA chemistry course and the PSSC physics
course and three of...
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 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...
