Lopez, Katherine J.; Pletcher, Gary; Williams, Craig L.; Zehner, William Bradley, II – e-Journal of Business Education and Scholarship of Teaching, 2017
The purpose of this article is to provide examples of business concepts appearing in science fiction, offering accounting and business educators a means to engage students and allow students to make connections with business concepts outside of the strict business realm, resulting in increased long-term learning. To accomplish this, the "Star…

Feldman, Gerald – Physics Teacher, 2011
An operational understanding of Newton's third law is often elusive for students. Typical examples of this concept are given for contact forces that are closer to the students' everyday experience. While this is a good thing in general, the reaction force can sometimes be taken for granted, and the students can miss the opportunity to really think…

Groppe, Jennifer – Physics Teacher, 2011
When working on an oral history project, my brother recommended that I download a free audio recording and editing program called Audacity[R]. I have since discovered that it is a fantastic tool for students to visualize sound waves and to understand the meaning of amplitude, frequency, and superposition. This paper describes a collection of…

Greenslade, Thomas B., Jr. – Physics Teacher, 2011
In my previous article on apparatus named after physicists and physics teachers, I discussed five relatively common pieces of apparatus from the 1875-1910 era. Now I will go back to the 18th and early-19th centuries to discuss eponymous apparatus that we are still using in lecture demonstrations. [For Part I, see EJ912907.]

Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and Science Education, Columbus, OH. – 1998
Professional development allows prospective teachers to develop their professional skills in order to help students achieve higher standards. The need for more challenging mathematics content for students means that teachers will also have to learn more challenging mathematics content and how to teach it. This document suggests new ways of…

Reynolds, Catharine; Salend, Spencer J. – Teacher Education and Special Education, 1989
Presented are guidelines for designing and incorporating cooperative group learning strategies into teacher preparation courses. Guidelines include determining appropriate content, selecting a cooperative format, forming cooperative groups, teaching cooperative skills, providing feedback, and evaluating learning. The student satisfaction results…

Schmidt, B. June – 1992
This paper summarizes strategies that have been successfully implemented at 3 of the 40 pilot sites working toward the goal of improving the academic competencies of students completing high school vocational programs. The strategies were culled from 30 interviews with academic teachers, vocational teachers, counselors, vocational directors,…

Further Education Unit, London (England). – 1986
This report presents findings from a project to gather from pilot Certificate of Pre-Vocational Education (CPVE) programs in Great Britain examples of ways in which teachers had or were intending to approach the Science and Technology objectives. (The CPVE framework consists of 10 core areas, one of which is Science and Technology.) It is intended…

Sturgiss, James – Australian Science Teachers Journal, 1994
Writing can be seen as a tool to be manipulated by students to access, construct, and evaluate knowledge. Many students will finish six years of high school science education quite ill-equipped for the literacy demands of college. This paper highlights a genre approach to language adopted by a literacy program. (20 references) (Author/MKR)

Bonnstetter, Ronald J.; Yager, Robert E. – Science and Children, 1985
Surveyed 114 teachers (100 percent response rate) associated with exemplary elementary science programs on longevity, confidence, professional involvement, familiarity of curricular materials, inservice, and teaching methods. Comparison with a national sample indicates these teachers have long-term program involvement, a great deal of confidence,…
