The purposes of the study were to make an analysis of the status of science teachers in the Allen Parish school system (Louisiana) for the 1969-70 school year, to identify the problems of science instruction, and to show a breakdown of laboratory exercises performed by science consultants during an inservice summer session. The first part of the…

This catalog contains fact sheets for federally funded research and development projects that are being carried out by 22 of the 23 organizations that co-sponsor the Information Office of the Conference for Educational Development and Research. Nine of the reporting organizations are university-based research and development centers, and 13 are…

The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether instructional behavior learned during a series of simulated teaching experiences using peers as students would transfer to a setting in which "real" pupils were students. Subjects were 44 undergraduate students in the secondary education program at the University of Texas at Austin. Each…

The effects of two kinds of lab experience in pre-student teaching education was the focus of a study on the development of oral language in elementary schools. The subjects were lower level college students in the course "Speech in the Elementary Schools." Two sections of the course were used, one in the fall quarter and one in the winter…

This document is a supplement to the Annotated Bibliography of Human Factors Laboratory (HFL) Reports (1945-1968) and provides an abstract and complete bibliographic reference for each of the HFL's 68 publications for the years 1968-1972. The majority of these are reports of projects or research studies undertaken in connection with the HFL,…

Forty female subjects were given intermittent options to transmit noncontingent promises of intent to cooperate during the course of a mixed-motive laboratory game. In a 2 x 2 experimental design, a robot target either reciprocated subjects' promise statements or concealed her behavioral intentions, and was either always cooperative or always…
