The National Science Foundation initiated the Science Development Program in 1965 in order to enable selected universities to improve the quality of their resources for science education and research. The specific purpose was to develop the competence of the funded institutions in preparing research scholars (as certified by their awarding of the…

In 1965, the National Science Foundation began an experiment in institutional funding, the Science Development (SD) program. Setting as dual goals an upgrading of the science capabilities of second-tier universities and a broader geographical distribution of scientific resources throughout the nation, this program awarded over $130 million to…

This is part of a series of 42 Calculus Based Physics (CBP) modules totaling about 1,000 pages. The modules include study guides, practice tests, and mastery tests for a full-year individualized course in calculus-based physics based on the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI). The units are not intended to be used without outside materials;…

In order to reduce the 35-40% dropout/failure rate in chemistry classes at the Perkinston Campus of Mississippi Gulf Coast Junior College, this study sought predictors which would provide early identification of students in need of special or additional help. Using regression analysis, data accumulated from the achievement records of students over…

This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a self-developed audio-tutorial (A-T) system in biology at the college level. The basic design of the study was a variation of a compromise experimental group-control group design. The control group was instructed by lecture-laboratory method, and the experimental by the A-T system. Facutal…

This science program, offered to all undergraduate students at the University of Iowa as an alternative to the traditional science core courses, is a three-course sequence designed primarily for elementary and special education majors. The program utilizes a student-structured laboratory setting with its main goal the development of a science…

This publication was produced as a teaching tool for college chemistry. The book is a text for a computer-based unit on the chemistry of acid-base titrations, and is designed for use with FORTRAN or BASIC computer systems, and with a programmable electronic calculator, in a variety of educational settings. The text attempts to present computer…

This publication contains abstracts and indexes to selected documents announced in RESEARCH IN EDUCATION from 1966 to 1972. Documents indexed include instructional materials, research reports, teaching guides, and other items. The compilation is designed to serve as an effective tool to assist teachers, researchers, curriculum developers,…

Financial and manpower data on research, development and instruction in the sciences and engineering in universities and colleges and in university-administered federally funded Research and Development Centers are reported. Information was obtained from analyses of questionnaires sent to each university. Field visits and telephone followups were…

The purpose of this project was to develop and test the effectiveness of relevant and functional general biology laboratory experiences based on the various media with which the student came in day-to-day contact. The review of the literature pertaining to the development of innovative general biology laboratory procedures for the college level…

Reported is a study to identify various methods of conducting laboratory programs of experimental inquiry into problems of physics and to determine the effects on performance test scores of three groups of students (elementary education majors). The curricula programs developed were: (1) a laboratory curriculum of self-directed programs of…

This booklet is the second in a series of Environmental Resource Packets designed to encourage college science teachers to become professionally competent in selected environmental areas of study. Produced under a grant from the ESSO Education Foundation, each packet consists of a review paper(s) and a selected and annotated bibliography related…
