Attitudes toward mathematics and basic mathematical understanding of prospective elementary school teachers at Brigham Young University

Creator:: Gee, Burton Cleon
Abstract:: 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...

Attitudes toward science and critical thinking abilities of chemistry and non-chemistry students in the Tacoma Public schools

Creator:: Brown, Terrance Ralph
Abstract:: 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...

Feasibility of integration of selected aspects of (CBA) chemistry, (CHEMS) chemistry and (PSSC) Physics into a two year physical science sequence

Creator:: Fiasca, Michael Aldo
Abstract:: 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...

Spatial visualization abilities of Central Washington State College prospective elementary and secondary teachers of mathematics

Creator:: Martin, Bernard Loyal
Abstract:: 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...

An experiment in the teaching of biology to slow learners in high school

Creator:: Kellough, Richard D. (Richard Dean)
Abstract:: 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...

A comparison of student performance in lower division collegiate general chemistry programs between selected community colleges and four-year institutions in Oregon

Creator:: Denney, Clifford Owen
Abstract:: 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...

A study of selected teacher factors and learning outcomes in chemistry in secondary schools in South Australia

Creator:: Broadhurst, Norman Arthur
Abstract:: 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...

A study of the relationship between the elementary science study unit attribute games and problems and the development of divergent-productive thinking in selected elementary school children

Creator:: Huntsberger, John Paul
Abstract:: 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...
