A comparison of three methods of teaching college chemistry

Creator:: Marcy, Douglas Eugene
Abstract:: Problem: To compare the effectiveness of three different methods of teaching chemistry at a community college. Procedure: Three classes of college chemistry were taught using the traditional lecture-discussion with a typical text, a lecture-discussion using a programed text, and an individualized self-paced method. The self-paced course was designed to allow...

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...

How refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning service technicians learn from troubleshooting

Creator:: Green, Denis F. H.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to understand how refrigeration, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (RHVAC) service technicians (techs) learned from troubleshooting. This understanding resulted in instructional and curricular strategies designed to help community colleges prepare vocational students to learn more effectively from informal workplace learning. RHVAC techs were studied...
