Peer reviewedCrispin, David – Contemporary Education, 1968
A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that "the number of discipline behaviors by the teacher is a function of the personality of the teacher.""Behavior" was defined as "oral statements" and "discipline" as "the attempt of one to require another to discontinue inappropriate behavior." Trained observers used interaction analysis to record…

Schramm, Wilbur – 1968
There is evidence that violence in motion pictures viewed by children on screen or television can contribute to violence in real life, although the movies can rarely be blamed as the sole cause of anti-social conduct. Clinical reports cite instances of the effect on "susceptible" youngsters; e.g., emotionally disturbed individuals. Long-term…

Johnson, Rita B. – AREA Journal, 1968
An experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that a program of prompting, practice, and feedback would improve the beginning teacher's ability to observe pupil performance in the classroom. Eighty-four teacher education students were randomly assigned to four 35-minute treatments: (I) viewing an instructional video tape of 21 brief…

Chambers, David W. – 1970
A laboratory study was performed with four levels of discovery and two levels on an overlearning factor. An improved experimental paradigm was chosen so as to avoid a number of confusions which have obscured previous research. An operational definition was developed for discovery and guided discovery and discovery teaching, and inquiry learning.…

Effects of Concurrent Negative Feedback On Performance of Two Motor Tasks. Working Paper Number Six.
Kieffer, Leigh F.; Tennyson, Robert D. – Journal of Motor Behavior, 1973
The effects of stress on state anxiety and heart rate of male high school subjects were investigated. Two psychomotor tasks were used. In the stress condition, subjects received negative feedback about performance; the subjects in the nonstress condition were given rest intervals. Subjects in both conditions showed differing regression lines. The…

Schenck, Hilbert, Jr. – 1963
The author views the primary purpose of the modern engineering laboratory as teaching the student how to experiment. An attempt is made to update the engineering laboratory and make it generally meaningful for all students, whether headed for graduate school or an industrial job. The intent is to broaden the experimental picture so that students…
