Describes a science and mathematics methods course which attempts to develop elements within the prospective teacher rather than trying to reconstruct identical situations between preservice and actual teaching experiences. Examples of these elements are: self-perceptions, role perceptions, and ability to develop rapport with students. (JR)

Describes the "cloze" procedure for judging the readability of textbook prose and in particular how this procedure may be applied to written mathematical materials. (JP)

Describes the science program offered at Forest View High School, Arlington Heights, Illinois. A wide variety of science courses have been included in the program in response to a survey of student opinion regarding the science topics that they wished to study. (JR)

Achievement on the final exam was the dependent variable in an experiment involving two college algebra classes. The experimental class was allowed retesting on unit tests while a control class took the unit test once. No significant differences were obtained. (JP)

Reports the results of a survey of the opinions of 259 teachers regarding a criterion referenced assessment conducted in Texas during the 1971-72 school year. (JR)

Discusses the advantages and benefits of the audio-tutorial method of instruction in science, examines the kinds of secondary science programs that can be developed and the necessary equipment, and suggests the steps that should be followed in developing an audio-tutorial program. (JR)

Describes an actual study to illustrate how school districts might utilize research techniques in making decisions as to the most suitable textbooks to be adopted in their schools. (JR)

Discusses the importance of developing elementary science textbooks which correlate highly with known readability levels of students, and reports the results of a study designed to compare readability levels and ranges of major elementary science texts with the approximate reading levels of each of the respective grades. (JR)

Describes the strategy used in a study designed to evaluate the impact and efficacy of the National Science Foundation Comprehensive Program for Teacher Education. The data from this study had not yet been analyzed, and results are therefore not included in the paper. (JR)

Describes a study designed to determine the effects of Science: A Process Approach (SAPA) on kindergarten children's ability to conserve on six tasks. It was concluded that the rate of attainment of conservation skills is affected at least in part by the experiences made possible by SAPA. (JR)

Describes a study designed to determine the level of achievement attained on two referents of scientific literacy by graduating seniors from Missouri Public High Schools as indicated by scores on the Sequential Tests of Educational Progress: Science, and the Wisconsin Inventory of Science Processes. (JR)

Presents the results of a survey designed to compare selected Wisconsin secondary schools having high percent enrollments in physics with those having low percent enrollments in physics in terms of certain identified school, teacher, and student characteristics. (Author/JR)

Gains in arithmetic achievement were assessed for fifth graders taught by ninth-grade tutors during a summer session. Using the Mann-Whitney test, a gain in arithmetic computation skill was significant at the .05 level. (JP)
