The use of graphics as an effective method of data communication is discussed for various types of research reports in higher education. The need to display information in a concise format and the importance of the stratification of data are stressed. The authors illustrate and discuss some of the types of graphs that can be used to communicate…

This activity, one in a set of teacher-developed instructional activites for elementary-level geography, investigates the problems and promise in meeting the nutritional needs of the world's people. Graphs are the principal media for instruction. Thirty-nine statements are given from which students choose ten that show promise for feeding the…

The ninth edition of the World Bank Atlas shows estimates of population, gross national product, and per capita production of 189 countries and territories for 1972. The data presented in the atlas are the result of the work of the World Bank Group whose major purpose is to provide both financial and technical assistance and to improve the living…

The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core materials for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…

This seminar paper reports case studies in the successful use of adult social reinforcement to modify problem behaviors of individual children in the Laboratory Preschool at the University of Washington, Seattle. After initially determining that teacher behavior functioned as a reinforcer in accordance with reinforcement principles, it became…

Research is presented that is derived from the hypothesis that a person's interpretation of emotional stimulus is affected by the painted hue and the light intensity of the visual environment. The reported experiment proved in part a null hypothesis; it was suggested that, within the considered variables of the experiment, either a person's…

The overall campus development and distribution of the required facilities are discussed in this study, which was prompted by the inadequacy of several existing facilities and an unorganized campus layout. An analysis is developed of--(1) the educational program, (2) the relationship of the campus to the city and the neighborhood, (3) the…

A survey was conducted of 300 parents of students in each of 18 North York Senior High Schools to determine their attitudes toward the schools which their offspring attended.

Eleven graphs present information on status and trends in Alaska in terms of number of public high school graduates, statewide enrollment, expenditures per pupil, local assistance, pupil-staff ratio, transportation, rural school enrollment, correspondence study, school lunch programs, average salaries of professional school personnel, and…

The materials in these units are designed especially for the low achiever student in junior high school mathematics. These materials are intended to be a source of new ideas for teachers who are trying to encourage interest, enthusiasm, and participation from low achieving students in mathematics. The four units in this collection contain…

This study was designed to 1) reasonably relate educational resources and the way they are used for specific students to the educational outcomes for those students, and 2) to demonstrate the feasibility and problems of obtaining information about resource-effectiveness relationships. Data for the study were gathered at Everett Junior High and…

This article outlines a series of investigations in graph theory which simultaneously gives exercises in visualization. It is argued that one of the advantages of classroom investigations is that students can be lead to an intuitive grasp of advanced mathematics. (PK)

Discusses the relative ease of obtaining library management statistics when using machine readable records and powerful software tools such as the Statistical Analysis System package. The development of such a management information system for the Cataloging in Publication division of the Library of Congress is described. (Seven notes with…

Examination of how far research work on the design of printed text can inform research on the design of electronic text centers on three areas: the layout of instructional text, the role of typographic cueing, and the presentation of graphic materials. Future research needs are discussed, and 101 references are provided. (LRW)

A method is described for representing quadratic functions by three-dimensional wire models. This enables one to form a simple geometric concept of the location of imaginary zeros. (MNS)
