This is the third in a series of four guidebooks on minimum course content designed to develop geometric concepts intuitively, using the "slides, flips, and turns" approach developed by the University of Illinois, Committee on School Mathematics. Topics include the development of the concept of symmetry, triangles and quadrilateral…

This study describes the job goals and communication patterns of staff in a coalition of student personnel offices at a large urban university. The sample was comprised of 174 professional staff members in 15 different offices that are part of the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities).…

This report of a survey of research and perspectives on national planning for higher education is organized in two sections. Section I of this report reflects the collective professional assessment of the views held by staff members of approximately 36 research agencies on planning, the existing state of planning, the several federal aid…

Two sections of a reading methods course were selected to determine the effect of affective and cognitive treatment sessions upon the attitude and performance of preservice teachers. School children with reading problems were tutored by the preservice teachers, and the children's attitudes and reading abilities were tested. The pre- and post-test…

An optional guidebook designed to follow the study of Mathematical Structures, this booklet specifies minimum course content for introductory geometric constructions and concepts. It includes the use of geometry tools, and covers basic geometric figures and congruence, angles, perpendiculars and parallels, triangles, perimeter and circumference,…

This guidebook on minimum course content for a study of statistical measures is designed to develop students' appreciation of the role of statistics in everday living. The primary emphasis is on activities centered on the collection and organization of data from daily happenings. Overall course goals are specified, a course outline and suggested…

This the fourth in a series of four guidebooks on minimum course content designed to develop geometric concepts intuitively, using the "slide, flips, and turns" approach developed by the University of Illinois Committee on School Mathematics. Topics covered are: area; ratio; similarity; construction using ruler, compass, and protractor;…

Designed for the student who has acquired basic computational skills with non-negative rational numbers, this guidebook on minimum course content seeks further development of computational skills with fractions. General goals and performance objectives, a course outline, teaching strategies, sample test items, and a list of six references are…

This guidebook on minimum course content for beginning algebra covers graphing, the distance formula, slope, the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, algebraic and graphic solutions to systems of equations, functions, and variation. Overall goals for the course are stated; performance objectives for each unit, a course outline,…

This guidebook specifies minimum course content covering number systems and bases, rational numbers and operations with rationals, and solving simple open sentences. Course goals are stated, then performance objectives, a course outline, references, and suggested teaching strategies are listed for each topic covered. Posttest items and a list of…

This document defines a performance objective as a clear and measurable learning outcome. Performance objectives are equated with behavioral objectives. This definition is translated into a system that permits teachers to exchange ideas. The operation of the system is demonstrated using as an example six teachers developing a course in auto…

Three premises underlie the practice of microteaching: that much of teaching consists of behaviors, that the total performance can be broken into smaller pieces of behavior with little consideration given to the relationship between these parts, and that of a teaching performance can be usefully analyzed without consideration of what precedes or…
