This project, coordinated by the Center for Innovation in Teacher Education, Indiana University, aims to improve the performance of methods instructors and teachers who supervise student teachers, to train teaching associates as methods instructors, to increase the training skills of advanced graduate students, and to increase the interdependence…

The concept of continuous, interrelated learning experiences for every student is central to the articulated curriculum. Articulation involves the ordering of long-range and immediate curriculum goals into a cooperative process of planned change. Such planning also necessitates definitions of goals and curriculum content and requires the human and…

A study tested two hypotheses: (1) that an inservice training program will alter teacher verbal behavior and (2) that this altered behavior will be associated with increased pupil achievement. Subjects were elementary teachers in two buildings, one the experimental (23) and one the control group (20) and their pupils in grades 1 through 5 (596…

This First Course of Study for Colorado adult basic education teachers presents an outline of recommended content and offers suggestions and possibilities to those who will teach the course. Objectives, content, and pertinent references are indicated for specific subject matter areas and certain other portions of the course. The course is planned…

To test the effectiveness of a program of acceleration and enrichment, five ninth grade classes of students (25 in each class, IQ's 120 or above) who had been in this program for 2 years were compared to two control (C) classes of academically talented students who had not had the program. All students were given a series of standardized…

This source book presents 22 papers by master teachers emphasizing practices and points of view which they feel contribute to effective teaching. One part of the volume describes the Princeton University - Trenton Schools Institutes (PTI), another contains nine papers on the English-Social Studies program, a third has nine papers on the…

A report on the Adult Basic Education teacher-training institute held at Mississippi State University, July 21-August 8, 1969, contains edited presentations of several of the instructional consultants, the contents of the final reports of the four work-study groups, and the results of an extensive evaluation of the institute. Areas covered were:…

Adult basic education (ABE) teachers, supervisors, and administrators are furnished with guidelines on the use of linguistic techniques for basic reading instruction, (Levels 1 and 2), the formation of student skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing (Levels 1, 2, 3), and mathematics teaching at all three levels plus the high school…

As a Title III project of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Clarksville-Montgomery County Schools (specifically St. Bethlehem School) developed this resource guide for outdoor education in grades 1-6. The concept stated by L. B. Sharp--"That which can best be taught in the out-of-doors should be taught there"--provided the focus for…

Supplementary programs of group counseling-guidance and of educational skills instruction, including language arts and mathematics, were implemented at the Penta-County Vocational School, an area vocational school near Toledo, Ohio. The subjects included approximately 300 high school juniors divided into 30 groups for participation in both phases…

The study investigated whether a significant relationship existed between the continuous length of time a student spends at one school and reading and arithmetic achievement test scores. The study population consisted of all 6th grade students in a single school located within 25 miles of Phoenix (Arizona) and within 10 miles of an Air Force…

It is the aim of this book to transmit to its readers something of the general spirit of the proceedings of the Second International Congress on Mathematical Education. Nine invited papers were presented by distinguished educators and psychologists from many different countries. Thirty-eight working committees prepared papers and reports on a wide…

This review is a secondary analysis of work done by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). It concerns the subject areas of mathematics, reading comprehension, and science. The main thrust of this analysis was to look for a possible relationship between age of entry into pre-formal school education…

From some simple and schematic assumptions about information processing, a stochastic differential equation is derived for the motion of a student through a computer-assisted elementary mathematics curriculum. The mathematics strands curriculum of the Institute for Mathematical Studies in the Social Sciences is used to test: (1) the theory and (2)…

Activities conducted during the period January 1966-June 1966 as part of the Pennsylvania State University computer-assisted instruction (CAI) project are reported. The objectives of the project are described in a previous document (IR 000 511). This report first provides information on the physical facilities and equipment used in this stage of…
