The study was designed to determine if students using the individualized
instruction method, scored significantly higher on a 30 question
achievement test than did students in more traditional group paced
programs. The study also attempted to determine if attitudes displayed
by educators, as measured on an attitude scale, aided in...
Globally intermittent turbulence is characterized by sudden switching from significant turbulence to weak turbulence and back on time scales ranging from seconds to tens of minutes as opposed to microscale intermittency, which is due to organization of small scale gradients by individual eddies on scales as small as the Kolmogorov...
Purposes of the Study The study had several purposes, the major one being to
determine the common professional education competencies needed by
community college instructors of trade and industrial education. Two
other purposes of the study were to determine if differences existed
among community colleges according to scores trade and...
A two-scale approach for the turbulent mixing of momentum in an unstable stratified boundary layer is proposed in an attempt to eliminate existing inconsistencies between parameterized mixing of heat and momentum. The parameterization of the large eddy stress is suitable for simple boundary layer models where computational efficiency is important....
The purpose of this study was to improve instructional system design at Small
Business Development Centers by developing a best practice model for assessing client
training needs. Two research questions were addressed:
1. Is self-directed learning an appropriate framework for instructional system design at
Small Business Development Centers?
2. What...
Relationships among the surface wind, horizontal synoptic-scale
pressure gradient and topography are studied in the Willamette Valley
in western Oregon. Terrain features alter the standard surface wind-pressure
gradient relationship such that the angle between the surface
wind and the surface geostrophic wind is most frequently 60°.
In winter the surface...
Purpose of the Study
The study was designed to determine whether the amount of
formal education industrial education teachers have completed does
affect their (1) attitude toward teaching and (2) performance in the
classroom. The specific questions formulated to investigate this research
were:
1. Will the amount of formal education...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was (1) to identify the educational and
socio-economic characteristics of enrollees in the In-School Neighborhood
Youth Corps Program and (2) to determine those educational
and socio-economic characteristics that would predict potential achievement
in the In-School Neighborhood Youth Corps Program.
Procedures
A...
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze criteria
and procedures used in the selection of occupational advisory committee
members in Oregon community colleges. The existence of a
common core of criteria and procedures for selecting occupational
advisory committee members was investigated. Further, the...
