Each state and jurisdiction that participated in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2009 reading assessment receives a one-page snapshot report that presents key findings and trends in a condensed format. Overall results, achievement level percentages and average score results, comparison of the average score in 2009 to other…

The capsule histories of physics that students learn in their physics courses stem basically, I believe, from a linear view of history--that physicists in making fundamental discoveries follow a Royal Road to them, as Hermann von Helmholtz put it in 1892. The actual routes they follow, however, are generally nonlinear, and when historians display…

This research examines two mechanisms by which persons' identities change over time. First, on the basis of identity control theory (ICT), I hypothesize that while identities influence the way in which a role is played out, discrepancies between the meanings of the identity standard and the meanings of the role performance will result in change.…

It only makes sense to talk about the position of a moving object if one specifies the time at which its position is of interest. The authors here show that when a flash or tone specifies the moment of interest, subjects estimate the moving object to be closer to where it passes the fixation point and further in its direction of motion than it…

Investigated the hypothesis that 10-year-old children will tend to perceive delayed outcomes as being of lower value than immediately expected ones, with the effect being stronger for negative outcomes. Good- and bad-tasting foods were used as stimuli. (SDH)

This paper reviews traditional analog time-telling instructional procedures and introduces the Applied Digital Method (ADM), a newer technique using a digital paradigm. The ADM is a favorable method for teaching time-telling to special needs students and non-disabled young children. Students' rate of learning is greatly influenced by developmental…

In deciding how much time should be spent with a cold, indifferent, and possibly resentful student, the needs of the student should be the basis for the decision, not the degree to which he responded to efforts put forth. (Author/AG)

Findings suggest that spatial relationships are established earlier in a developmental sequence than temporal relationships. (RB)

The relationship between anxiety and time estimation was investigated. No significant relationship was found indicating that time estimation may be insensitive to immediate environmental fluctuations. (DP)

Three key predictions of Piaget's groupement model of middle childhood cognition were examined in the speed and time concept areas with a total of 93 children in grades 1, 2, and 3. (ED)

Two studies explored the relationship of temporal relatedness to self actualization, sex, and certain temporal behaviors. Subjects who obtained higher time-relatedness scores demonstrated greater self-actualization, evaluated the present time mode more positively, overestimated time intervals in an estimation task, and performed less accurately in…
