Presented is a compilation of eight articles relating to science teaching in England, primarily at the secondary school level. An editorial describes recent changes in sciences and science education, decreased student enrollment in science courses, and increasing emphases on scientific methods training. The articles are then presented in three…

A list of measurable behavioral objectives (MBO) is presented in this booklet for use throughout the Articulated Multimedia Physics Course. The objectives are divided into terminal and enabling objectives. Computer analyses of student's achievement are given in the form of the MBO number. The objectives are grouped into 14 lessons: measurement and…

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate physical science curriculum materials suitable for secondary school age slow learners. A unit on measuring heat and temperature was developed, using guidelines based on a study of the characteristics of students of below-average intelligence (I.Q. between 75 to 90) and reading ability at or…

The primary purpose of the study was to develop a supply/demand ratio for nuclear degree scientists and engineers from July 1969 through 1973. The need by private industry and electric utilities for scientists and engineers with degrees in disciplines other than nuclear science or engineering, as well as for technicians, nuclear reactor operators,…

Included are descriptions of activities of each of the 12 laboratories in the National Research Council of Canada, including background information and a summary of the studies (research) and results. The 12 laboratories in the NRCL are the following: Atlantic Regional Laboratory, Biochemistry Laboratory, Division of Biology, Division of Building…

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…

A problem solving card program was constructed on the basis of Gagne's hierarchical sequence model to teach Unit II of the Physical Science Study Committee (PSSC) course in physics. The program was used to diagnose areas of difficulty in problem solving. Remediation on 52 identified mathematical abilities involved in the problem solving tasks was…

This booklet is one of the booklets in the "Understanding the Atom Series" published by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission for high school science teachers and their students. The instruments used to detect both particles and electromagnetic radiation that emerge from the nucleus are described. The counters reviewed include ionization chambers,…

The two student notebooks in this set provide the basic outline and assignments for the fourth and last year of a senior high school unified science program which builds on the technical third year course, Science IIIA (see SE 012 149). An introductory section considers the problems of survival inherent in living systems, matter-energy…

Fundamentals of sonar systems are presented in this book, prepared for both regular navy and naval reserve personnel who are seeking advancement in rating. An introductory description is first made of submarines and antisubmarine units. Determination of underwater targets is analyzed from the background of true and relative bearings, true and…

Investigated was the hypothesis that tenth grade biology students could learn selected physics concepts interjected into a unit of programmed biology instruction. It was further hypothesized that the students could learn the disassociated physics without a significant effect upon achievement or upon retention of the biological content. Eighty-one…

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,…

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…

As a supplement to the principal reports, the underlying management system of the U. S. Naval Academy Self-Paced Physics Course is presented in this documentation report. The management system is discussed on three "levels" which are intrinsic in the programmed-instruction format, focused on remedial activities, and related to the…

As a supplement to the principal reports, basic revision guidelines, philosophy, and procedures are discussed in this document relating to the U. S. Naval Academy Self-Paced Physics Course. Following a brief course description, analyses are made of the rationale for revision activities, study guide alteration, and content, objective, format, and…
