The author gives an historical account of the texts used for music courses in the nineteenth-century schools. Transposition, chromatic tones, and pitch notation are also described. (MF)

The purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate programed instruction in score-reading skills. (Author/MF)

A survey of 493 secondary school music teachers was taken in order to determine the relationship of their teaching responsibility to their college preparation. The data was analysed to determine seven factors. (Author/MF)

Automated techniques in conjunction with programed instructional methods can be used in training students in music. Rhythm was selected as the objective of this study. (MF)

The following conclusions were arrived at by the study: 1. The timing of supplementary activities with a program of music fundamentals will not affect either the initial learning or retention of learning. 2. Students definitely learn from a programed text and supplementary materials. 3. Reading achievement level can be used to predict success.…

Simulation techniques can be used in teaching music. These techniques involve principles of role-playing in representations of reality and can thus be used at all levels of education. (MF)

Results of two short questionnaires administered to 144 elementary school students and their parents, in which they were asked to rank their attitudes to English, mathematics, science and social science. (MM)

Continuing education is imperative if nurses are to keep abreast of the knowledge explosion and technological advances operating to change the role of the nurse. Self contained study units have been developed around a particular nursing problem, a specific illness, a broad content area in nursing, or a nursing technique. (Author/RB)

Task analysis, learning hierarchies, and behavioral objectives for mastery learning were used to develop elementary school curriculum materials in probability and statistics. The feasibility of the unit was measured by pre- and posttests with an instrument specifically developed for the study; analysis of data is included. (JG)

A review of recent research concerning ordered sequence of learning items in mathematics is presented. Implications for classroom teaching are developed. (JG)

Various kinds of audio-visual aids are compared and assessed: chalkboards, the overhead projector and programmed learning are discussed at length but author states much research is still needed before definitive conclusions can be drawn. (Editor)

The author discusses the real business of teaching - one's self as demonstrated by the film course he taught at Dayton's Julienne High School. (AS)
