This study compared two self-instructional methods for
improving spelling in high school and college: a traditional-deductive presentation of spelling rules and lists of words to exemplify
each rule versus a programed-inductive presentation leading
the learner to observe the spelling behavior of words and to make
generalizations.
Both the traditional-deductive and...
The purpose of this study was to determine if personality
traits relevant to creativity in adults are measurable in four year
old nursery school children. Instruments and scoring techniques
were developed to measure six specific traits. These traits are
the intellectual aptitude abilities of figural fluency, elaboration,
originality and penetration...
The purpose of this research was to determine if differences
existed in mathematical skills needed for entry-level employment in
selected electricity-electronics occupations in Oregon. The four
primary objectives of the study were to:
1. Identify mathematical skills from task analyses of key
electricity-electronics occupations.
2. Validate the identified mathematical skills....
The purpose of this investigation was to determine if either of
two selected commercial games, when used by seventh-grade mathematics
teachers, would significantly improve students' (1) attitudes
toward mathematics, (2) quantitative cognitive abilities, and (3) nonverbal
cognitive abilities.
Equations, a mathematics game, and Tac-Tickle, a strategy
game, were chosen as...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the
relationship between introductory lessons on creativity and
the creativity displayed in students' finished clothing
projects. The sample consisted of 22 students in the
experimental group and 26 students in the control group at
the intermediate level in high school clothing construction....
This study was developed in order to determine whether substantiation
for Carl Rogers' theory of originality as related to an internal
locus of control could be located among groups of elementary
school children. The setting was in Portland, Oregon, in three types
of city schools: suburban (upper/ upper-middle class); conventional...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of plyometric training on both spinal and supraspinal motor control as well as the rate of torque development (RTD) in healthy active females. Thirty-one subjects were recruited to participate in the study and participated in either the training or control...
This study was designed to identify those specific mathematics
computational and application skills, and combinations of mathematics
skills, which have a positive relationship to success in introductory
chemistry for community college students.
Additional areas of interest investigated, but secondary to the
main study, were the relationships between mathematical growth
shown...
