"The present investigation was designed to study the effect of two instructional treatments on the achievement of students of different abilities--Verbal and Spatial. This was achieved by studying the interaction between the two...
The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate two instructional presentations of flowcharting and computer programming to prospective elementary school teachers. In general, the two instructional approaches differed in the amount...
This study assessed the relative effectiveness of verbal and non-verbal teaching methods in facilitating the learning of mathematics. The two treatments differed only in that nonverbal instruction did not permit oral communication or use...
"The purpose of this study was to investigate the conjecture that instruction in the strategies of Pattern Discovery, Trial and Error, Working Backward, Contradiction, Substitution, and Use of Diagrams would result in the development of...
Theoretical speculations abound on all sides of the following two questions: 1. What are the relative merits of the reception and discovery modes of learning? 2. What effect does forcing a student to immediately verbalize his newly...
"This study investigated whether there is a relationship between first grade children's ability to tell a story about a dynamic picture or a sequence of three dynamic pictures and their ability to describe the picture(s) by a number...
"The purpose of the study was to determine whether there is a difference in the ability of two equally capable groups of subjects to generalize the winning strategy of a simple game when one group learns the perfect strategy for one form...
"In general terms, the purposes of this study were two in number: (1) to suggest whether unique mental factors as identified by methods of factor analysis are correlated with success in usual school learning situations and (2) to suggest...
Factors relating to achievement with selected topics in geometry and topology when taught to fifth-, sixth- and seventh-grade pupils via a programed text
"Although there are some subjective opinions supporting the hypothesis that geometrical and topological topics are teachable at the elementary school level there is the need for definitive research which can answer the following...
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate experimentally the following questions: (1) What is the relative effectiveness of the vector approach and the traditional approach to teaching certain topics in plane analytic geometry...
"The purpose of the study is to determine if there is a difference between students who study certain topics from plane geometry using a geoboard and those who study the same topics in the conventional classroom. A three part criterion...
"Let P(n) be a statement for every positive integer n. We denote the set of all positive integers by N and consider G = {n [is an element of] N [such that] P(n) is true}. The principle of mathematical induction can now be stated as...
For several reasons, Guilford's psychological theory, The Structure-of-Intellect (SI), seems a good candidate for relating to the learning of mathematics. The general purposes of this study were to identify SI factors which would be...
