The purpose of the study is to build upon previous theory and research on the concept of authority and to relate this knowledge to current practice in the public schools. (Author/RK)

On the basis of a conservation of substance experiment with 189 blind and partially sighted children, it is inferred that while the best of them are performing on a par with the best of their sighted peers, the age range in which conservation is attained is more extended for the visually handicapped.

Experiments reported here confirm the finding that performance can actually improve as intradimensional variability increases. (Authors/MB)

In this study children between the ages of 3 and 6 years were each presented with six number problems in which length and density were varied according to the proposed composition rules. (Authors)

The role of stimulus preference and various subject and task variables in the solution of matrix-completion problems were examined using children at 4 and 6 years of age. Age, the number of stimulus categories, the type of drawing, and the specific matrix stimulus categories taken individually and in combination were found to have significant…

Examples of mathematics objectives classified under the headings of creativity, understanding (second level), and evaluation are given. Assessing and redesigning curriculum in light of the objectives are discussed. (DT)

Describes procedures, results, and conclusions of a study designed to determine the resemblance sorting ability of a non-random sample of 120 first grade students. Results indicate that (a) shape is visually an easier attribute to handle than pattern, and pattern is easier than size, (b) a single attribute is easier than two or three, and (c)…

CEHAE is an acronym for concept, example, highlighting, activity, and evaluation. (MB)

Describes procedures, results, and conclusions of a study designed to investigate the effects of (1) the height of an object, (2) state of decay of an object, (3) the reversibility of an event, and (4) the affective aspects of an event on the development of the conservation of time concept in elementary school children. Results indicated that…

Urges a detailed analysis of the structure of some of the fundamental conceptual schemes of science. Suggests that a logical explication of this analysis would serve the needs of both science curriculum designers and researchers of conept formation in children. (LC)

One method of teaching music to children is discussed. (CK)

Based on a dissertation submitted in 1968 to Utah State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree. (Author)
