Aspects of the Nature of Engineering for K-12 Science Education : A Delphi Study

Creator:: Hartman, Brian D.
Abstract:: Recent state and national standards have increased the interest in engineering at the K-12 level. Science standards, in particular, have begun to make the case for including engineering throughout the K-12 scope of study. Despite the increased attention to engineering, the characteristics and uniqueness of the field of engineering are...

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...

Evaluation of the influence of multi-level reading materials on the achievement of fifth grade elementary science pupils when placed at reading level by an informal reading inventory

Creator:: Daugs, Donald Roger
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to statistically evaluate the influence of student placement at reading level by means of an informal reading inventory in one kind of elementary science materials. The materials were written at five levels of reading difficulty to better meet the reading ability spread found in...

The effects of auditory metronomic rates on addition performance of second-graders in Lindsay, California

Creator:: Weinhouse, Donald S.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various auditory metronomic rates on addition performance of selected second-graders in Lindsay, California, and thereby test the theory that when such rates "approach and reach personal tempo the individual enjoys an optimal circumstance for learning" (Barsch, 1974, p. 5)....

The effects of the science curriculum improvement study (SCIS) on science achievement of selected sixth grade students

Creator:: Hoover, John Michael
Abstract:: Purpose of the Study: The purpose of this investigation was to measure some of the effects of an elementary science program, the Science Curriculum Improvement Study (SCIS) on science achievement of certain sixth grade students. Important to the problem was how the SCIS students compared with students exposed to a...

The influence of primary children's ideas in science on teaching practice

Creator:: Dickinson, Valarie L.
Abstract:: A large body of research has examined how children enter the science classroom with previously formed ideas about the content they will learn. These ideas influence how the child interprets instruction. This study reversed the investigative focus by exploring how children's ideas in science influence teaching. Specifically, the study examined...

Determinants of student intention to engage in laboratory versus non-laboratory science learning behavior

Creator:: Ray, Brian Daniel
Abstract:: The purpose was to gain information about the determinants of student behavior with respect to laboratory (lab) and non-laboratory (non-lab) science learning activities. Fishbein and Ajzen's (1975) theory of reasoned action was used to investigate students' salient beliefs, correlations between determinants of intention, and the relative weights of determinants of...
