In an effort to bridge the gap between theory and practice, the Education Department of the College of Steubenville initiated the Early Experience Program to operate in conjunction with the required course of study for all full-time elementary education majors. The program places freshman through senior students in the classrooms of schools…

Described in this student's manual are numerous experiments to acquaint the learner with community environmental problems. Experiments are relatively simple and useful in the junior high school grades. Activities are provided which emphasize some of the materials involved in pollution problems, such as carbon dioxide, sulfur compounds, and others,…

This study synthesized, analyzed, and evaluated critically, various kinds of simulations (simulators, computerized games, in-basket simulation), and derived integrative (theoretical principles which explain and clarify the methodology of educational simulation, particularly as it relates to the: (a) design and instructional application of…

Included are the teacher's manual and the student's manual for the unit "Forces and Motion," one of a series of units for non-academic students developed by the 1970 Senior High School Science Workshop Committee. This unit is designed to give students an understanding of forces and motion. It is designed for students to learn how to: recognize…

This final report covers a three-year demonstration program that served primarily as a practicum for students in a leadership training program. In addition, some research was conducted. The demonstration portion of the leadership training program essentially provided for two basic classes of 16 three- and four-year-old preschool disadvantaged…

Described are the student's text and teacher's guide of the first module for secondary schools prepared for the Interdisciplinary Approaches to Chemistry (IAC) project. The main approach to teaching is to present chemistry as a dynamic field of knowledge concerning phenomena in the daily life of every individual. This module, the first in a series…

This bulletin of the Scottish Schools Science Equipment Research Centre provides information to teachers regarding the use of newly produced equipment such as an economical soldering iron, nickel cadmium cell, and a desk calculator. Useful information is also included for teachers on the use of electric coils and bicarbonate indicators. A detailed…

An audio-tutorial learning system for college students studying intermediate algebra was developed by a member of the mathematics staff and was directed by student assistants. An analysis of covariance design was used to determine if students receiving help from student assistants did significantly better than those not receiving help. Results…

This study was designed to investigate the relationship between wait-time and two classroom interaction variables: cognitive level of teacher questions and length of student response. The interval of time between a teacher question and the next verbal response by teacher or student (wait-time) was measured using an electrocardiograph with…

A product of a 1971 American Academy for the Advancement of Science symposium, this volume considers the future of scientific institutions with 11 articles on the social relations of science, the dynamics of institutional change, and the institutional system of science. (RH)

This series of four text-workbooks was designed for tenth grade mathematics students who have exhibited lack of problem-solving skills. Electric desk calculators are to be used with the text. In the first five chapters of the series, students learn how to use the machine while reviewing basic operations with whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and…

This is a collection of mathematics laboratory activities related to the topics of linear and square measure. There are a number of experimental situations from which results may be generalized. Also included are worksheets, examples and discussion questions which are based on practical situations whenever possible. The materials are for student…

Nuffield Combined Science is a set of tested instructional materials prepared in an "attempt to recapture the unity of outlook and consistency of method which belong to the whole of science and which enable us to make reasoned statements about the world we live in." The student-centered activity-based materials integrate the traditional…

Empirical research to support the claim of advocates of laboratory training as an effective means of training leaders and managers in communication is lacking. Further, there are some who raise serious questions about this methodology which need to be answered. This paper reports an experiment designed to investigate four questions revolving…

Noting that foreign language requirements have been abolished, reduced, or modified between 1966 and 1971 in over 45 percent of the B.A. degree-granting institutions in the United States, the author probes into the current status and uses of the language laboratory. It is suggested that the widespread decline in language enrollments is due in…
