The correlated curriculum program (New York City schools) is a four-year career-oriented program designed for the general course student. Students explore careers in business, health, and industry during the first three semesters and receive broad occupational training in careers of their choice for the remaining five semesters. The approach is a…

This paper focuses on the college's commitment to and responsibility for the attainment of the goals set forth by the National Right to Read Program. The goals of the Right to Read Program are: to disseminate information relative to reading, specifically, identifying and validating effective reading programs; to implement strategies for correcting…

A project concerned with the modification of a mathematical probability and statistics course is described. The course was redesigned to include a weekly two hour laboratory session in which students use an IBM 1130 computer to verify empirically the theoretical proofs learned in the classroom. This project report lists the subroutines furnished…

This booklet presents 18 experiments in the chemistry of food, suitable for elementary and secondary school science classes. Experiments deal with an analysis of milk, determinations of the amounts of sulfur dioxide, iron, and fat in foods, and the concentration of vitamin C in fruit juice and iodine in salt. Tests are provided for fats,…

This document describes a project designed to explore the possibilities of children's learning in mechanics. The principle of the lever, one example of a simple machine, was used in the form of a balance toy. The apparatus was set up as a game in a specially devised learning center. The children made non-verbal predictions as to which way the bar…

In an effort to bridge the gap between theory and practice, the Education Department of the College of Steubenville initiated the Early Experience Program to operate in conjunction with the required course of study for all full-time elementary education majors. The program places freshman through senior students in the classrooms of schools…

Described in this student's manual are numerous experiments to acquaint the learner with community environmental problems. Experiments are relatively simple and useful in the junior high school grades. Activities are provided which emphasize some of the materials involved in pollution problems, such as carbon dioxide, sulfur compounds, and others,…

This study synthesized, analyzed, and evaluated critically, various kinds of simulations (simulators, computerized games, in-basket simulation), and derived integrative (theoretical principles which explain and clarify the methodology of educational simulation, particularly as it relates to the: (a) design and instructional application of…

Included are the teacher's manual and the student's manual for the unit "Forces and Motion," one of a series of units for non-academic students developed by the 1970 Senior High School Science Workshop Committee. This unit is designed to give students an understanding of forces and motion. It is designed for students to learn how to: recognize…

This final report covers a three-year demonstration program that served primarily as a practicum for students in a leadership training program. In addition, some research was conducted. The demonstration portion of the leadership training program essentially provided for two basic classes of 16 three- and four-year-old preschool disadvantaged…

Described are the student's text and teacher's guide of the first module for secondary schools prepared for the Interdisciplinary Approaches to Chemistry (IAC) project. The main approach to teaching is to present chemistry as a dynamic field of knowledge concerning phenomena in the daily life of every individual. This module, the first in a series…

This bulletin of the Scottish Schools Science Equipment Research Centre provides information to teachers regarding the use of newly produced equipment such as an economical soldering iron, nickel cadmium cell, and a desk calculator. Useful information is also included for teachers on the use of electric coils and bicarbonate indicators. A detailed…

An audio-tutorial learning system for college students studying intermediate algebra was developed by a member of the mathematics staff and was directed by student assistants. An analysis of covariance design was used to determine if students receiving help from student assistants did significantly better than those not receiving help. Results…

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between wait-time and two classroom interaction variables: cognitive level of teacher questions and length of student response. The interval of time between a teacher question and the next verbal response by teacher or student (wait-time) was measured using an electrocardiograph with…

A product of a 1971 American Academy for the Advancement of Science symposium, this volume considers the future of scientific institutions with 11 articles on the social relations of science, the dynamics of institutional change, and the institutional system of science. (RH)
