Describes college science teaching as overemphasizing jargon and end results and ignoring knowledge of methods, processes, successes, and limitations of science. Stresses students' understanding of science by self-paced synthesis of experience and historical, philosophical, and sociological presentation of science courses. (CC)

Describes the conducting of three experimental courses by using texts, programmed supplements, lab manuals, behavioral objective sets, study guides, and tutoring and lecturing techniques in instruction. Indicates the feasibility of this model in institutions that can not use strict Keller Plan systems. (CC)

Four study segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this eighth problems and solutions book used as a part of course assignments. The content is related to magnetic induction, Faraday's law, induced currents, Lenz's law, induced electromotive forces, time-varying magnetic fields, self-inductance, inductors,…

The second part of the Self-Paced Physics Course remediation materials is presented for U. S. Naval Academy students who miss core problems on the progress check. The total of 101 problems is incorporated in this volume to match study segments 19 through 40. Each remedial sheet is composed of a statement of the missed problem and references to…

As a supplement to the principal reports, a total of 776 verbal behavioral objectives are incorporated in this document relating to the U. S. Naval Academy Self-Paced Physics Course. The objectives are related to the following aspects: physical measurements, frames of reference, significant figures, statics, dynamics, kinematics, electricity, and…

Discusses the teaching of a junior level physical chemistry course with self-paced instruction to engineering and physical science students. Included are a description of topics and a summary of student responses. (CC)

Five study segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this fourth problems and solutions book used as a part of student course work. The subject matter is related to electric charges, insulators, Coulomb's law, electric fields, lines of force, solid angles, conductors, motion of charged particles, dipoles, electric flux,…

Four study segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this fifth problems and solutions book used as a part of student course work. The subject matter is related to work in electric fields, potential differences, parallel plates, electric potential energies, potential gradients, capacitances, and capacitor circuits.…

Four study segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this sixth problems and solutions book used as a part of student course work. The subject matter is related to electric currents, current densities, resistances, Ohm's law, voltages, Joule heating, electromotive forces, single loop circuits, series and parallel…

Five study segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are presented in this seventh problems and solutions book used as a part of student course work. The content is related to magnetic fields, magnetic moments, forces on charged particles in magnetic fields, electron volts, cyclotron, electronic charge to mass ratio, current-carrying…

The first part of the Self-Paced Physics Course remediation materials is presented for U. S. Naval Academy students who miss core problems on the progress check. The total of 78 problems is incorporated in this volume to match study segments 1 through 14. Each remedial sheet is composed of a statement of the missed problem and references to…

Reports some reactions and opinions of the students to a course in nuclear and radiation chemistry using programmed instructional aids. Concludes that the findings were very favorable to the course. (GA)

Examines some of the objections of secondary school teachers to the application of the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI) or Keller Plan and provides reasons why these objections are not valid. (PEB)

Discusses a random self-paced examination which is designed to increase the number of high scores by making explicit the problems to be solved. Indicates that the novel examination is a useful part of the performance-grading method, rather than the competitive-grading method. (CC)

Describes the two functions of teaching and learning processes: short-range training and long-range education, and suggests that the course had better be carried out first via the Keller plan and then via lectures on exciting materials of the subject matter. (CC)
