The Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an original validated Lickert-type attitudinal survey instrument and administer it to selected samples of teachers and students in the Mid-Willamette Valley of Oregon to determine their attitude toward the "purposes," "functions," and "responsibilities" of student councils and place these results...
This was an historical study which described the procedures used by a thirteen-member committee in an attempt to develop a merit-evaluation program for a middle-sized school district in Oregon.
A random sample of 33.5% of the certificated staff of School District
9 were interviewed in May, 1969. The results of...
The study compares the differences in verbal responses between
39 Anglo-resident and 32 Anglo-migrant children in the first grade in
selected school districts in Oregon.
The children were tested for I. Q. using the Goodenough Draw-
A-Man test. They were grouped for comparison purposes by age,
sex, and by migrancy...
The study was undertaken to determine if the construct and vocabulary
of systems theory are related to academic performance such that
a) the understanding of either or both can predict grade-point average
for college students, and b) the explicit teaching of both construct
and vocabulary to minority students can improve...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of the study was to determine whether there were significant
statistical differences in achievement between first-grade students
taught mathematics by male teachers as compared to first-grade students
taught mathematics by female teachers. A substantive hypothesis was
formed, which stated: "This writer hypothesizes that mean-gain...
Prediction equations were developed for estimating the flow
regime at ungaged stream locations in the Oregon coastal range.
Principal components analysis was used to screen the initial data set
of physiographic and meteorological parameters. The final regression
equations for predicting mean monthly flow had standard errors of
estimate ranging from...
In 1967, Doi et al. proposed the hypothesis that 'yellows type
diseases' are caused by mycoplasma. Since then more than 60
yellows diseases have been associated with mycoplasma-like bodies
(MLB) (Maramorosch, 1973). The majority of these associations are
based upon electron microscopic observations of mycoplasma-like
bodies in situ. However, little...
This investigation was designed to determine the general achievement,
ability to solve applied problems, and attitude toward the role of
mathematics in science of college calculus students grouped in an
experimental class according to academic major during their first
three terms. The subgroups were biology-business, mathematics,
and science-engineering majors. The...
A computer code capable of modeling the burnup dependent static behavior
of a boiling water reactor was developed. The code calculates
three-dimensional quarter core power distributions using a simulated
two-group diffusion theory model. Thermal-hydraulic calculations account
for the interaction between power, coolant flow, and void fraction
distributions. Cross sections are...
The major purpose of this study was to investigate the effects
of indoor aquatic activities on the health patterns of the college student.
Three groups of students were used in the investigation: the
experimental group, comprised of students enrolled in aquatic
activities, and two control groups, the first comprised of...
