Although the literature is replete with techniques to assist
the researcher with the evaluation task, very few techniques
regarding an effective process for evaluating developmental
education programs have emerged. Those techniques that have
emerged have been criticized for not producing useful
results.
The central purpose of this research was to...
This study was designed to determine the common personal finance
competencies needed by graduating high school students in Oregon as

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...
Domestic dogs’, Canis familiaris, responsiveness to human action has been a topic of scientific interest for almost two decades. However, are all breeds of domestic dog equally prepared to succeed on humanguided object-choice tasks? In the current study we compared three breeds of dog with distinct predatory motor pattern sequences...

The purpose of this study is to compare in selected outcomes the
effectiveness of an integrated chemistry-physics course with chemistry
and physics courses taught separately.
Six classes, three of which studied an integrated course prepared
from content of the CBA chemistry course and the PSSC physics
course and three of...
The problem studied was to determine if there were any significant
differences (5% level) between control and experimental groups
of students using rapid batch processing and time-sharing computer
facilities in the study of elementary Fortran programming.
Students were randomly assigned to the control (batch processing)
and experimental (time-sharing) groups with...
