The purpose of this study was to determine if freshman biology laboratory classes would experience comparable achievement after being taught by different instructional techniques. Five groups of 18 students were involved in the study. Each group covered the same material, however, five different instructional procedures were used: (1) instruction…

This report is based on the 1966 and 1969 registers of graduate programs in the field of sanitary engineering. Data for both registers were collected by questionnaires. The first in 1965 included 56 colleges and the second in 1969 included 45 colleges offering graduate programs. The following chapters are included: Objective of the Register;…

This sixth volume in the fourth series of general bibliographies produced by the Science and Mathematics Education Information Analysis Center updates, but does not replace, previous bibliographies in this series. Documents which contain resource materials for teachers of elementary, secondary, and college science, and which have been indexed or…

This report summarizes the results of the National Science Foundation's biennial Survey of Science Activities of Institution of Higher Education which collected information on January, 1969, employment and academic year 1967-68 financing in the sciences and engineering in 2,175 universities and colleges with such programs. The report gives special…

Funded by the National Science Foundation, Dartmouth College's Project COEXIST (Computer Oriented Experiment in Science Teaching) had the main goal of development of a new introductory sequence of calculus courses accompanied by a carefully coordinated new elementary physics sequence and a new introductory engineering course, relying heavily on…

This publication is one of a series of single-topic problem modules designed for use in undergraduate geology and earth science courses. The first section, "Ain't It Flat? A Series of Experiments in Geodesy," presents various experiments for determining the earth's circumference (historically) and describes the use of satellites in determining the…

Approximately 200 trade books, and reference works in the pure and applied sciences for students in the elementary school, in secondary school and in the first two years of college, including selected advanced and professional books useful for reference by students and faculty members, are reviewed in this issue of the quarterly publication. The…

The audio-tutorial approach to the teaching of a college engineering science course was studied, using 104 subjects to determine its effectiveness in comparison with the instruction completed by using printed transcripts of the same material. Class and lab lectures were normally presented through the use of taped recordings and a set of lecture…

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between the extent to which an actual vocational setting is simulated in teaching and the competency of students in performing radiographic technique. The research design randomly placed the students, after a lecture on gall bladder technique, into one of three simulation treatments,…

The curriculum evaluated in this study is a series of innovative exercises offered as part of an introductory science course at Barnard College. It was hypothesized that students receiving the experimental treatment in the laboratory would show significant changes in cognitive achievement in environmental science and in their attitudes towards…

As a part of the U. S. Naval Academy Self-Paced Physics Course materials, orientation is presented in this manual to assist an instructor in developing his individual class policies. Descriptions are given of objectives, class atmosphere, student progress, counseling activities, and remedial work. Under the heading of the management sequence,…

Five segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this problems and solutions book for use as the first part of student course work. The subject-matter topics are related to significant digits, vectors, dimensions, dot and cross products, speeds, velocities, problem solving procedures, projectiles, Newton's laws, and…

Five segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this problems and solutions book for use as the second part of student course work. The subject-matter topics are related to circular motion, work, power, kinetic energy, potential energy, conservative forces, conservation of energy, spring problems, center of mass, and…

Four segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this problems and solutions book for use as the third part of student course work. The subject-matter topics are related to impulses, inelastic and elastic collisions, two-dimensional collision problems, universal constant of gravitation, gravitational acceleration and…

The second review segment of the Self-Paced Physics Course is presented in this volume and arranged to match study segments 19 through 40. The segment is divided into five subsegments, each of which is composed of a set of problems and solutions. A study guide is provided for each subsegment. The problem set is designed in a back-referencing…
