Since its inception in 1965 the General Curriculum Program at Forest Park Community College (Missouri) has fluctuated within identifiable limits and evolved from a totally non-credit situation to one of developmental credit that could count as elective units in degree and transfer programs. The program has shifted from a 2-semester to a 1-semester…

EDUCATIONAL THEORIZING IS A NEEDED ENDEAVOR IN THE EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH PROCESS. WHILE THEORIZING HAS OFTEN BEEN EQUATED WITH PHILOSOPHIZING, IT IS NOT THE WHOLE OF IT, SINCE PHILOSOPHY HAS OTHER TRADITIONS WHICH MAKE THE PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION A LEGITIMATE PART OF EDUCATIONAL THEORIZING. FOUR KINDS OF THEORIZING HAVE BEEN SORTED OUT--(1)…

This manual addresses the problems involved in selection and training of teachers for using the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP), an experimental curriculum which emphasizes content well beyond the scope of the standard curriculum. A description of the proposed teacher training model is provided, and implementation specifications…

From October 1 through December 31, 1965, activity was concentrated on the selection of a curriculum and the development of topic objectives within each course of study. The proposed curriculum outlined for grades 9 through 14 is based on meeting the four identified domains of specific vocational, general vocational, citizenship, and…

An attempt to introduce subtraction of negative integers early in the secondary school curriculum is described. The attempt was not successful, and several aspects of the experiment are discussed. (SD)

This evaluation report is one of 17 planned for the longitudinal pilot study of the implementation in kindergarten and grade 1 of the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP). For this report, five external reviewers were selected from a list provided by the Mathematics Association of America. CSMP materials were sent to these individuals…

This volume is based on a conference on the teaching of probability and statistics held in 1969 by the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) and the Central Midwestern Regional Educational Laboratory (CEMREL). The purpose of the conference was to study a broad range of opinion on the teaching of probability and statistics and to…

Following recommendations in the 1966 report EDUCATION AT BERKELEY, the Board of Educational Development (BED) was created as the practical vehicle through which experimental curricular programming could be realized more rapidly. The purpose of this study was to examine systematically and empirically the BED curriculum--the student and faculty…

Part of an eight article review of "Student Involvement .

An experimental course in introductory psychology at Georgetown University utilizes principles of operant reinforcement to modify verbal behavior in the classroom situation. The major facet of the program is a student-student interview. Interviews are scheduled after each student reads a portion of the assigned text. One student, the listener,…

The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…

One of 12 books developed for use with the core material (Book O) of the Elements of Mathematics Program, this text covers material well beyond the scope of the usual secondary mathematics sequences. These materials are designed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities; mathematical theories and ideas are developed through…
