Ideas are suggested as to how teachers can help students deal intelligently with questions of value in the classroom. Steps to use in approaching the conflicting issues related to promotion of world peace are outlined. (KM)

By using analogies, artists and engineers have made many imaginative creations; moreover, when ninth-grade vocational students received training in synectics (an analogy-based technique) there was a highly significant increase in their originality and elaboration (Torrance creative-thinking tests), and their approach to shop projects and careers…

Describes a kind of final exam questions that encourage creative thinking and problem solving and involvement by the students. Five examples from a course on neoclassic literature are provided. (TO)

The derivation of a method to drive the general term of a sequence is presented. The difference sequences and binomial coefficents are used in the derivation. An application of this method is made to solve Polya's problems concerned with dividing space in regions by a given number of planes. (JP)

Examples of mathematical problems which arise outside the classroom situation are presented. The author suggests that the conceiving and solving of such problems by students would be a good way to provide the students with applications of the mathematics they learn. (JP)

A mathematical model of a soccer-league competition results is set up and investigated using simple randomization techniques. The hypothesis that winning the league championship was purely luck was statistically tested. (JP)

Criticizes the DPPC Method (Direct, Pure, Piecemeal, and Complete) of mathematics instruction which is designed to enable the lower ninety percent to become proficient in problem solving. Suggests that this method is deceptive since students learn to follow a prescribed recipe rather than becoming problem solvers. (JR)

Teachers need to have both confidence and time to adapt to new situations. If change is imposed and rushed, it will have little viability. (Editor)

A sequential, problem-solving approach is offered as a strategy for the classroom teacher who wants to help the student increase his skills of inquiry, conceptual learning, and value clarification. (Author/KM)

The implication of utilizing outcome criteria consonant with the goals of a course are examined after using an orientation inventory with students in a clinical psychology course. (Author/KM)

Describes a telephone teaching program by which trainers find they can effectively handle a class hundreds or thousands of miles away. (Author/RK)

This paper focuses on the simulation games developed at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, U.S.A., which deal with a variety of social processes or situations. The paper, given before game play, identifies some of their characteristic features and discusses the educational implementational implications of the ways in which they are seen to…

The role of division of whole numbers in problem solving and the implications for teaching division computation are examined. Deleting the teaching of division facts, and obtaining solutions by using multiplication facts, is advocated. (DT)
