THE NOVA HIGH SCHOOL IS AN EDUCATIONAL EXPERIMENT TO MAKE LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT INTERESTING, CHALLENGING, AND EXCITING TO THE STUDENT. THE PROGRAM IS BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF INDIVIDUAL PROGRESS WITH EMPHASIS ON QUALITY EDUCATION. FEATURES OF THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT INCLUDE AIR-CONDITIONING, CARPETING, MULTIPURPOSE CLASSROOMS, INDIVIDUAL STUDY…

THIS REPORT DESCRIBES EXPERIMENTS DESIGNED TO SHOW WHETHER STRESS-TIMED AND SYLLABLE-TIMED LANGUAGES CAN BE DISTINGUISHED BY THEIR ACOUSTIC PROSODIES OF PITCH AND LOUDNESS ALONE AND WHETHER THE TRADITIONAL RHYTHMIC CLASSIFICATION OF LANGUAGES IS VALID. A PREVIOUS STUDY BY THE SAME AUTHOR IS DESCRIBED IN WHICH THE RHYTHMIC BEATS OF ENGLISH…

The Advanced Chemistry Laboratory Program is a project designed to devise experiments to coordinate the use of instruments in the laboratory programs of physical chemistry, instrumental analysis, and inorganic chemistry at the advanced undergraduate level. It is intended that such experiments would incorporate an introduction to the instrument…

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of four information-format variables--instructions for processing information, number of documents, masking of information, and interview information--on the teacher selection decision process. It was hypothesized that the variables affect decisions by modifying the consistency of the decisions…

Using business customers, a two-way television conference experiment was conducted between Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. Two-way conferences were conducted between telephone officials, businessmen and government officials, college students, elementary-school pupils and teachers, and a psychiatrist and clients. Discussion topics…

This document includes abstracts of 350 experiments in instructional television and instructional film since 1950. Each abstract describes the problem, sample, subject taught, key variables, and criterion instruments. Reliability and validity data, and statistics, when available, are also given. The introduction reviews research trends, author and…

Experiments were devised to determine teacher effectiveness on the basis of ability to communicate, on the assumption that no relevant learning will occur if communication is faulty. A series of communication games involved an encoder (teacher) and decoder (student) to provide tentative answers to the questions: 1) Are there individual differences…

Experiments dealing with laser mode structure are presented which are suitable for an upper division undergraduate laboratory. The theory of cavity modes is summarized. The mode structure of the radiation from a helium-neon laser is measured by using a photodiode detector and spectrum analyzer to detect intermode beating. Off-axial modes can be…
