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 problem studied was to determine if there were any significant
differences (5% level) between control and experimental groups
of students using rapid batch processing and time-sharing computer
facilities in the study of elementary Fortran programming.
Students were randomly assigned to the control (batch processing)
and experimental (time-sharing) groups with...
The study is designed to determine what differences exist between
the nonverbal as well as verbal behaviors and teacher-student
interaction patterns in selected CHEM Study and traditional chemistry
classes in Oregon. Analysis of behavior in these classes is in terms
of a new observation system developed by H. D. Schalock...
This investigation was designed to determine whether or not the nonverbal behaviors of junior high and secondary school science students could be systematically analyzed. It was further determine what relationship exists between the nonverbal behaviors of students and their attitude. The hypotheses investigated were as follows: H₁: A valid and...
