Friesen, Charles D. – 1979
This report summarizes the results of 24 research studies on the correlation of homework and no homework and academic achievement. The studies were conducted over the years from 1923 to 1976 in elementary and secondary schools. The results of the studies do not provide a clear-cut endorsement for either homework or no homework. It is suggested…

Ellington, Carol E. – 1980
A study of the difference in student performance when currency or token money is used was studied with six mildly mentally retarded children (ages 8 to 12) as Ss. Students were given jobs (teacher aide, movie projectionist, art or shop teacher) and were rated in the areas of punctuality, appearance, following directions, completing tasks, and…

TWO SWITCH-LIGHT PROBLEMS WERE USED TO INVESTIGATE THREE VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE PROBLEM-SOLVING PERFORMANCE--(1) THE NUMBER OF DISTRACTING RESPONSE ALTERNATIVES, (2) THE NUMBER OF AVAILABLE RESPONSE ALTERNATIVES, AND (3) THE NUMBER OF MINIMALLY REQUIRED RESPONSES. IN THE PROBLEMS USED, THE SUBJECT ATTEMPTED TO ACHIEVE A PARTICULAR PATTERN OF…

HAMBLETON, RONALD K. – 1968
THIS RESEARCH INVESTIGATED THE EFFECT OF ITEM ORDER ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A MATHEMATICS TEST, ON THE AMOUNT OF STRESS GENERATED DURING A TEST, AND ON THE PERFORMANCE OF HIGH AND LOW TEST ANXIOUS SUBJECTS. SOME 106 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS COMPLETED THE ACHIEVEMENT ANXIETY TEST. THEY WERE RANDOMLY ASSIGNED TO ONE OF TWO TREATMENT GROUPS TWO WEEKS…

BLATT, SIDNEY J. – 1963
THE EFFECT OF ANXIETY ON COGNITIVE PROCESS HAS BEEN AN AREA OF EXTENSIVE RESEARCH. CONSIDERABLE EVIDENCE HAS INDICATED THAT HIGH ANXIOUS SUBJECTS ARE INFERIOR TO LOW ANXIOUS SUBJECTS ON COMPLEX COGNITIVE TASKS. ANOTHER FACTOR WHICH MAY INFLUENCE THE EFFECTS OF ANXIETY IS THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH A TASK IS PRESENTED. RECENT RESEARCH HAS SUGGESTED…

BURNHAM, STAN; MCCRAW, LYNN W. – 1963
A STUDY WAS CONCERNED WITH A COMPARISON OF ISOTONIC, ISOMETRIC, AND SPEED EXERCISE PROGRAMS AS A MEANS OF DEVELOPING MUSCLE STRENGTH, ENDURANCE, SPEED, AND POWER. SUBJECTS FOR THE INVESTIGATION WERE 93 FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORE MEN ENROLLED IN A PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS. AFTER MEASUREMENT OF INITIAL STATUS IN THE ATTRIBUTES UNDER CONSIDERATION, THE…

Newman, Slater E.; And Others – 1980
The study involving 96 undergraduates with no previous experience with braille investigated variables (such as size of the braille symbols) affecting the learning of braille. Data were analyzed in terms of the number of correct responses, item difficulty, and error patterns. Visual Ss did better than haptic Ss on the regular bralle items but not…

Jones, Ralph E. – 1977
The effect of the quantity and location of feedback cues on learning to perform the long jump was assessed. The subjects of this study, none of whom had formal training in jumping techniques, were randomly divided into groups. Each group received different feedback cues at different points in their performance during training. Feedback consisted…

Dorethy, Rex E. – 1972
Evidence presented by psychologists has indicated that perceptual development results in part from learned experience and may be modified to varying deqrees by social pressure. Since vision is a primary source of perceptual information for art education, this study sought to determine the effects of prophecy, or expectation, on perceptual response…

Friedlander, Frank; Greenberg, Stuart – 1969
The job climate in which 24 hard-core unemployed (HCU) workers were placed was explored with a view toward determining climate variables which might increase performance and retention. HCU's perceived their climate as far less supportive than did their respective supervisors. Those who perceived their climate as supportive tended to be rated by…

O'Neil, Harold F., Jr. – 1970
Subjects for this study were women college students who differed in anxiety proneness. The subjects were selected on the basis of extreme scores on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory . Stress was induced by feedback concerning performance on a mathematical learning task which was presented by an IBM 1500 computer-assisted instruction (CAI) system.…

Grunes, Leslie S. – 1974
In last year's report (1971-1972), when the attrition problem in Math 103 and 109 was first examined, one of the major findings was that placement was very poor. It is shown in this report that in the courses with improved placement, the attrition went down significantly. Attrition is defined as withdrawal from a mathematics course and registering…

Prytulak, Susan Pepper – 1971
The description of, or formation of impressions about, persons are viewed as being dependent on situational context and the standard or reference point to which the persons are compared. A study is described in which different subject groups compared a target's score on a "cautiousness-boldness" or a "relaxation-alertness" test with either a…

Towle, Nelson J.; Merrill, Paul F. – 1972
Effects of item difficulty sequencing on performance and on post state anxiety were investigated using a timed mathematics aptitude test. The subjects were randomly assigned to a random, easy-to-hard, or hard-to-easy difficulty sequence group. The hard-to-easy sequence group performance was significantly lower than either the random or…

Broudy, Harry S. – 1972
This critique is concerned with the validity of three basic assumptions underlying the performance-based teacher education program. These assumptions are 1) The teaching act is the sum of performances into which it is analyzed. 2) The performance unit is a matter of indifference, i.e., the number and character of the performance unit can vary…
