This is Part of a series of 41 Calculus Based Physics (CBP) modules totaling about 1,000 Pages. The modules include study guides, practice tests, and mastery tests for a full-year individualized courses in calculus-based physics based on the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI). The units are not intended to be used without outside materials;…

Fourteen teacher-training modules focus on strategies which concern humanizing and individualizing learning in elementary education programs. Designed for inservice teacher training by a principal or curriculum specialist, these modules provide alternative teaching techniques for teachers interested in curriculum innovation. Topics of the 14…

Aptitude treatment interaction (ATI), as applied to education, measures the interaction of personality factors and experimentally manipulated teaching strategies. ATI research has had dissappointingly inconclusive results so far, but proponents argue that this has been due to imprecise methods, which can be rectified. They believe that…

Thirty-six second semester freshmen students on academic probation were matched according to sex, high school class rank, S.A.T. scores, and IQ. They were divided into two groups: control and experimental. Both groups were administered the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes, after which the experimental group participated in four one-hour study…

Length of pauses between quizzes and laboratory assignments in a self-paced psychology-of-adjustment course were examined. Students (n=31) were required to take quizzes from proctors, 15 of which were unit quizzes and five of which were unit review quizzes, and to present five laboratory assignments to the instructor during the course in a…

This minicourse was prepared for use with secondary physics students in the Dallas Independent School District and is one option in a physics program which provides for the selection of topics on the basis of student career needs and interests. This minicourse was aimed at providing the student with a basic understanding of the construction and…

This minicourse was aimed at providing students with an understanding of some basic physics principles…

Designed as an introduction to a symposium on the appropriateness of mastery learning as a technique of social studies instruction, this paper reviews research on the variables related to mastery learning in order to provide a basis for systematic symposium discussion. Brief research reviews are included on the following variables: materials,…

Individualized instruction is an educational program in which grade levels and time units are designed to permit the student to work at his own pace and level with the use of unipacs. The unipac, a "unique package," is a specially designed group of learning activities based on specific behavioral objectives chosen by the student. Unipacs consist…

This thesis was a descriptive study of developmental writing programs in two- and four-year colleges. The following areas were investigated: identifying students who need extra language skills help; placing students in flexible programs so they can learn what they individually need to know; evaluating materials to teach skills; evaluating…

A mathematics laboratory is discussed in terms of (1) administrative support, (2) personnel, (3) curriculum design, (4) flexibility in design and equipment, (5) professional counseling, and (6) motivational devices. The discussion focuses upon the remedial math lab at Alvin Community College, Alvin, Texas. The roles of instructors, lab…
