This article addresses the inclusion of non-Catholic students in Catholic schools. It provides a brief review of the literature on inclusion and the results of a study of inclusion from the perspectives of Catholic students and Catholic teachers in four Western Canadian urban Catholic high schools. The study employed grounded theory as its…

A model of reading comprehension of geometric proofs (RCGP) has recently been proposed by the authors. This article further investigates students' development of such comprehension based on this model, looking at the relationship between students' reading comprehension and their prior knowledge and logical reasoning. The results show that (1)…

This study was designed to: (1) determine whether there was higher achievement by students assigned homework or by those not assigned homework; (2) determine whether there was higher achievment by students assigned preparation homework or those assigned practice homework; and (3) determine whether there was higher achievement by females or by…

RESOURCE MATERIALS TO BE USED IN CONJUCTION WITH THE GRADE 10 BIOLOGY I COURSE OUTLINE FOR THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ARE PRESENTED. A GREATER AMOUNT OF MATERIAL IS INCLUDED THAN COULD BE USED IN THE ALLOTED TIME FOR THE COURSE. THE TEACHERS CAN USE THEIR OWN DISCRETION IN CHOOSING THE MATERIALS TO BE COVERED, AND THEY CAN ADAPT THESE MATERIALS TO THE…

COMPOSITION, LITERATURE, AND LANGUAGE EXPERIENCES, ADAPTABLE FOR STUDENTS OF ALL ABILITY LEVELS, ARE SUGGESTED. TEACHERS SHOULD DETERMINE THE LEVELS OF THEIR OWN STUDENTS, REINFORCE THEIR PAST ACHIEVEMENTS, AND IMPROVE AND CONTINUE THESE ACHIEVEMENTS. UNIFYING CONCEPTS FOR EACH UNIT, WITH THE TYPE OF LITERATURE RECOMMENDED TO REINFORCE AND…

THIS TEST--"THE ODYSSEY"--WAS DESIGNED BY THE OREGON CURRICULUM STUDY CENTER FOR A 10TH-GRADE LITERATURE CURRICULUM. IT IS INTENDED TO ACCOMPANY THE CURRICULUM UNIT AVAILABLE AS ED 010 828. (MM)

INDIVIDUAL TUTORIAL SESSIONS WERE CONDUCTED WITH 42 10TH-GRADE STUDENTS IN A LARGE INNER-CITY HIGH SCHOOL, WITH THE PURPOSE OF REVISING A UNIT OF GENERAL MATHEMATICS FROM A STANDARD TEXT. THE HYPOTHESIS TESTED WAS THAT MATERIAL SO REVISED WOULD YIELD MORE LEARNING FOR STUDENTS OF THIS POPULATION THAN MATERIALS REVISED UNDER STANDARD CURRICULUM…

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE FOLLOWING FOUR FACTORS, SIMULTANEOUSLY AND SEPARATELY, AFFECT THE RATES OF CHEATING AMONG 10TH GRADE STUDENTS--(1) INDIVIDUAL ROLE ADAPTATIONS, (2) PEER GROUP INFLUENCE, (3) SOCIAL CONTEXT, AND (4) FAMILY INFLUENCE.

The elective program for tenth grade standard English outlined in this document has been designed to improve students' attitudes toward and responses to the study of language, composition, and literature. The program consists of four minicourses, each of which covers a nine-week period. The first course, required of all students, involves the…

The author describes a way of teaching a one-year geometry course which includes plane geometry, solid geometry, coordinate methods of proof, and vector methods of proof. His method is based upon encouraging students to use the properties of geometric figures that they already accept without formal proof. He employs paper folding extensively to…

This document is a reprint of the geometry section from the 1954 syllabus Mathematics 10-11-12, An Integrated Sequence for the Senior High School Grades. The text outlines a tenth year geometry course integrated with arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry, which progresses from an informal to a formal level. The topics suggested include definition,…

The plans for a field test of teaching tenth grade plane geometry through transformations is described. Text and homework materials have been written, and teachers have been trained. Eight intact classes are now being taught utilizing the materials. Data to be collected will include: (1) teacher descriptions of the course via questionnaire; (2)…
