This research study investigated student perception of the social learning environment in biology, chemistry and physics courses. A stratified random sample of secondary schools from three regions was selected. The principal of each sampled school randomly selected a biology, chemistry or physics teacher who, in turn, randomly selected one of his…

The survey involved 25 academic radiation training programs which are located in 14 states. These programs represent a sample, only, of the various programs available nationwide. Enrollment and graduate statistics are presented. A total of 207 faculty members, 72 percent full-time, were involved in the programs. Curricula, research funding, and…

Designed for use with thirty-five technical specialty courses included in the Nuclear Technology Series, this master index merges all index entries from the thirty-five courses. The index lists for each entry the course and module numbers (underlined), followed by the page number. Figures and tables, when included, are listed by their numbers,…

TO DETERMINE HOW THE INNOVATIVE PHYSICS TEACHER'S PERSONALITY DIFFERS FROM HIS NON-INNOVATIVE COLLEAGUE'S AND HOW HIS PERSONALITY IS RELATED TO HIS KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS AND HIS ATTITUDES TOWARD TEACHING, 36 MALE PHYSICS TEACHERS WERE GIVEN THE ALLPORT-VERNON-LINDZEY STUDY OF VALUES (AVL), THE EDWARDS PERSONAL PREFERENCE SCHEDULE (EPPS), THE…

SELECTED RESEARCH STUDIES PUBLISHED DURING 1959-1963 RELATED TO SECONDARY SCIENCE EDUCATION WERE SURVEYED, CLASSIFIED, AND BRIEFLY ANALYZED. THE CATEGORIES USED TO CLASSIFY THE 103 STUDIES INCLUDED--(1) CURRICULUM STUDIES, (2) CURRICULUM EVALUATION, (3) LEARNING, ABILITY, AND ACHIEVEMENT, (4) METHODS AND ORGANIZATION FOR TEACHING, (5) INSTRUCTION…

THIS OUTLINE HAS BEEN ORGANIZED IN A FORM WHICH PERMITS THE TEACHING OF CONSERVATION TO THE GREATEST NUMBER OF STUDENTS, BY INTERWEAVING THE SUBJECT WITH THE PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL SCIENCES COMMONLY TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOLS. THE CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THESE SCIENCES AND BECOMES MORE MEANINGFUL TO STUDENTS WHEN THE…

THE INITIAL QUESTION IN THE TITLE IS ANSWERED THROUGH SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS FOR CULTURALLY DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. MUSCLES, RUNNING, WATER, WIND, STEAM, FAST BURNING AND ELECTRICITY ARE FOUND TO "MAKE THINGS GO." USING THESE BASIC DISCOVERIES, VOCABULARY IS BUILT UP BY WORKING WITH DIFFERENT WORDS RELATING TO THE…

This report contains recommendations on chemical nomenclature, guidance on symbols, and terminology and units for physiochemical quantities. This report, intended to provide guidance to science teachers, consists of eleven sections: (1) general introduction; (2) introduction to symbols, terminology, and units for physiochemical quantities; (3)…

This module is part of a series designed to be used by life science students for instruction in the application of physical theory to ecosystem operation. Most modules contain computer programs which are built around a particular application of a physical process. This module deals specifically with concepts that are basic to fluid flow and…

Over 60 energy education activities comprise this manual for junior high school teachers. These lessons are experience-oriented and emphasize questioning, the use of reference materials, data collection, and discussion. For every grade level, three activities dealing with each of seven recurring conceptual schemes are provided. Lesson plans…
