The results of an evaluation of the Provost's Tutorial Fellowship Program (PTFP), the Tutorial Clinics and an interpersonal communications skills workshop are presented along with recommendations for change. The PTFP met its three objectives: Over 90 percent of the tutees who received a letter grade passed the course (objective 1). A formal system…

This physics guide, for use at the senior high level, is one of a series of guides, K-12, that were developed by teachers to help introduce environmental education into the total curriculum. The guides are supplementary in design, containing a series of episodes (minilessons) that focus on student-centered activities with direct application of…

Determined were the educational and professional backgrounds, and some aspects of the operational environment of teachers of secondary school science and mathematics (Grades 7-12) in the public and private schools of the United States during the school year 1960-61. A stratified random sampling method was used to ensure proportional representation…

Contained in this experimental test are instructional materials for a one-semester course designed to give liberal arts students an appreciation of (1) the nature of science, (2) the development of science, (3) the contributions of scientists, (4) the impact of scientific discoveries on mankind, and (5) the possible future effects of science.
