The effect of games on cognitive abilities and on attitudes toward mathematics

Creator:: Henry, Kermit Maxson
Abstract:: The purpose of this investigation was to determine if either of two selected commercial games, when used by seventh-grade mathematics teachers, would significantly improve students' (1) attitudes toward mathematics, (2) quantitative cognitive abilities, and (3) nonverbal cognitive abilities. Equations, a mathematics game, and Tac-Tickle, a strategy game, were chosen as...

Effects of selected mathematical computer games on achievement and attitude toward mathematics in university entry-level algebra

Creator:: Moore, Margaret L.
Abstract:: Two mathematical computer games, POE and EQUATIONS, were used to test the effects of games as learning aids in a university entry-level intermediate algebra course. Specifically, this study investigated whether use of these games would significantly increase student achievement in the course and improve student attitude toward mathematics. EQUATIONS is...

Argumentation and equity in inquiry-based science instruction : reasoning patterns of teachers and students

Creator:: Irish, Tobias E. L.
Abstract:: This multiple case study explores issues of equity in science education through an examination of how teachers' reasoning patterns compare with students' reasoning patterns during inquiry-based lessons. It also examines the ways in which teachers utilize students' cultural and linguistic resources, or funds of knowledge, during inquiry-based lessons and the...

Verbal-numerical achievement in a required college physical science course and some personality correlates

Creator:: Saunders, Walter Lane
Abstract:: 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...

Investigating science identity and motivation constructs in undergraduate chemistry through novel instrument development

Creator:: Wolfe, Teresa M.
Abstract:: The purposes of this study were to: 1) determine in what ways incorporating active engagement into a traditional lecture chemistry course contributed to students' science identity and their motivation to learn the science, and 2) determine how the development of a science identity could be measured through the use of...

A comparative study of time-sharing vs. batch processing in the teaching of introductory programming in FORTRAN

Creator:: Pinneo, Robert Orin
Abstract:: 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...

Student performance in lower division collegiate general biology programs in selected community colleges and four-year institutions in Oregon

Creator:: Tolman, Richard Robins
Abstract:: It was the intent of this investigation to compare the performance of community college students to four-year institutional students, both of whom were enrolled in a college general biology program (GS 101, 102, 103) during the 1967-68 academic year. During the week of May 27, 1968 measurements were taken of...
