The purpose of this study was to determine the need
for mathematics inservice training for untrained and
trained teachers in K-7 rural schools in Manicaland,
Zimbabwe. The auxiliary teachers do not have any
professional preparation before entry into the teaching
profession. The study sought to determine the mathematics
areas needed...
Teachers and administrators spend many hours of work reviewing
the State of Oregon Guidelines and drafting district guidelines in an
attempt to make the process of evaluation positive and productive.
Most districts agree the primary purpose of evaluation should be for
the improvement of instruction.
The amended state law, ORS...

Organizations leading education reform of the 1980's
have challenged teacher education programs at colleges and
universities across the nation to improve the subject
matter content preparation of teachers. Past methods of
program development and techniques to assess teacher's
knowledge competence have been one-sided in their
approach. New research studies on...
This study was designed to measure the results on public
school teachers of training in three teaching systems. The results
of the study were intended to provide evidence that might be used
for designing a single system which would bring together the most
effective aspects of each of the systems...
The concentration of ascorbic acid in the plasma was determined on
four levels of ascorbic acid intake for seven day periods in 1946-47 and
on three levels of ascorbic acid intake for ten day periods in 1947-48.
The subjects, eight girls and eight boys, were 16 to 19 year old...
Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled
signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist
and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation
assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion
chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...
Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, is well known as a co-factor for proline-hydroxylase and as an anti-oxidant. However, it is also capable of forming covalent bonds, particularly in the role of a nucleophile, henceforth termed 'ascorbylation'.
The ascorbylation of electrophiles can occur under physiological conditions. Furthermore, there are a number...
More than half of students in Washington state community colleges enroll in developmental mathematics, but a relatively small percentage of these students persist to the second year. Many students place into these courses and never enroll; others enroll at some point after the first academic term, even when faced with...
