The purpose of this study was to investigate one individual difference,
i.e., rate of response, and the effect on student performance
when teachers recognize this difference. Using disadvantaged third
grade students as subjects, three null hypotheses were formulated as
follows:
1. Slow responding accurate students' (Group LH) scores will
show...
The purposes of the study were: (1) to provide a descriptive
analysis and historical record of the undergraduate OSU Fourth Cycle
Urban/Rural-Migrant Teacher Corps program; (2) to follow up former
OSU Fourth Cycle corps members to determine their employment status
and attitudes toward their educational experiences; and (3) to determine...
In order to examine some possible tyrosyl interactions, poly-tyrosyl lysozyme and poly-O-methyltyrosyl lysozyme were prepared and their solubilities were compared. Both derivatives exhibited
similar pH dependent solubilities, showing a minimum solubility at
about pH 8. Their solubilities varied with temperature, having a
positive enthalpy of solution. The effect of a...
This study was concerned with determining if: (1) the
effectiveness of residence hall student government varies according to
the perceptions of its role held by residence hall student staff and
government officers, and the hall type and population; (2) the
perception of hall student government held by student staff varies...
The dynamics of tansy ragwort, Senecio jacobaea L. , and the cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae (L.) were studied with the aid of a system simulation model. The model development and validation were based on knowledge of the plant and herbivore gathered from the literature, four years of data from previous...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an in-service project for teachers of the social studies (K-12). The project was sponsored by the Region II Committee of the Oregon Council for Curriculum and Instruction (O.C.C.I.) during the period from November 1, 1966 to April 1, 1969....
Although many science educators and researchers believe that emotion is an important part of the learning process, few researchers have dealt with the topic in a systematic fashion. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of emotion in the learning process, particularly in the learning of science...
Garden-based learning (GBL) with young people has long been viewed as an educational experience capable of teaching numerous types of science content including general science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as discipline specific areas such as biology, horticulture, agriculture and nutrition. However, much of the GBL literature focuses...
There has been a rapid increase in technological advances in the biological sciences that has contributed to an increase in societal issues that require attention from both scientists and citizens. Consequently, there is a need for the development of biologically literate citizens who have the ability to use their knowledge...
