This report consists of the descriptions and results of two studies carried out to examine Title I programs in the Newark, New Jersey, public schools. The Sustaining Effects Study focused on two groups of pupils: those who participated in Title I programs for two years (1979 to 1982), and those who received remediation for one year (1979-80) and…

This project developed a mobile spectroscopy laboratory, a truck equipped with scientific instruments which can be moved from school to school to provide hands-on experience with instruments normally too expensive for a small school to purchase. A summer conference trained the on-campus participant faculty in the use of the truck-laboratory as…

A seven-point philosophy for operating a writing laboratory has achieved positive results, both in the form of student test scores and grades and in the form of student gratitude. The first philosophical point is a sincere, unswaying belief that "everyone" can learn to write and that only a poorly written paper is hopeless, not the…

The cooperative Navy/Air Force project described is aimed at the problem of image-flutter encountered when visual displays that present computer generated images are used for the simulation of certain flying situations. Two experiments are described which extend laboratory work on delay compensation schemes to the simulation of formation flight in…

This document presents a model for a simple transmission electron microscope for educational purposes. This microscope could demonstrate thermonic emission, particle acceleration, electron deflection, and flourescence. It is designed to be used in high school science courses, particularly physics, taking into account the size, weight, complexity…

To verify the assumption that research activities do not interfere with the normal instruction given to students in the demonstration school of the Kamehameha Early Education Program (KEEP), each class's educational and intellectual achievement was assessed, and comparisons were made with other classes in Hawaii. This report compares the results…

This learning module is intended to illustrate the functioning and uses of bridge circuits. The discussion and laboratory procedures suggested in the module presume familiarity with basic concepts of electronics such as voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, phase, and knowledge of such skills as breadboarding circuits from…

This publication is a safety handbook designed for science teachers of elementary and secondary schools. In an effort to insure prevention of accidents in school laboratories, it advocates careful planning, adequate experimental design, and the acquisition of correct laboratory techinques on the part of the teacher. The handbook gives instructions…

This book is a compendium of educational materials of interest to individuals involved in diagnostic radiologic technology. The book is divided into twelve sections. Each part corresponds to a subject area included in the curriculum guide for the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. Each section is subdivided into sections entitled:…

This document is an updated edition of an annual publication of the "Directory of Physics and Astronomy Staff Members," published by the American Institute of Physics, and covers the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America. The directory contains 10 parts and 7 appendices. Part I through Part IV include the geographic listing of academic…

This compilation of selected articles from the "TESOL Newsletter" is devoted to various practical aspects of teaching English as a second language. The following articles are included: "In a Word...,""The Functional Approach to Language Teaching,""A Challenge to Traditional Teaching of Reading: A Thirty Year-Old Methodology Repudiated,""Tak (Th)em…

The objectives of this module include: (1) improving general arithmetic skills including whole numbers, fractions, and decimal fractions; (2) learning to compute averages; (3) strengthening knowledge of percent; (4) learning to locate needed information or statistical data; (5) reviewing or learning the use of the Pythagorean Theorem; (6)…

THE COMPUTER SYSTEM CONCEPT WILL BE DEVELOPED IN TWO WAYS--FIRST, A DESCRIPTION WILL BE MADE OF THE SMALL COMPUTER-BASED TEACHING MACHINE WHICH IS BEING USED AS A RESEARCH TOOL, SECOND, A DESCRIPTION WILL BE MADE OF THE LARGE COMPUTER LABORATORY FOR AUTOMATED SCHOOL SYSTEMS WHICH ARE BEING DEVELOPED. THE FIRST MACHINE CONSISTS OF THREE ELEMENTS--…

A BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR TEACHERS OF ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, COMPILED BY A CLASSROOM SPECIALIST IN THE DIVISION OF INDIAN EDUCATION IN ARIZONA, WAS PRESENTED. THE MATERIAL WAS ALSO RELEVANT FOR OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS. INCLUDED WERE PUBLICATIONS ON INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, TEACHING TECHNIQUES, LANGUAGE LABORATORIES, ADULT EDUCATION, SECONDARY…
