The author presents the case for cooperative education and cites the advantage not only to the student, but to the school, to industry and to the community. (Editor)

Author criticises the new research as viewed in a book, Promotion and Careers in Teaching. (Editor/RK)

An undergraduate program, focusing on problem-solving and based on volunteer faculty, is developed to create a common undergraduate base for professional and action-oriented graduate education. (Author/JH)

In this article teachers worked with children in order to develop a sense of community. (RK)

Described the efforts of international agencies - among them are the Organization for European Cooperation and Development, the Council for Cultural Cooperation of the Council of Europe, and the Directorate for Research, Science and Education of the European Economic Communities - to develop a European education system. (RK)

Author utilized the form of a fable as a method of discussing the future of independent schools and their organizational development. (RK)

By translating inequalities into equations (e.g., x greater than 0 can be written x- absolute value of x = 0) and forming equations for unions and intersections of solution sets, students can develop equations for polygons. The method can be generalized to yield equations in three dimensions. (SD)

Given is information on a federally funded environmental education program based on field experience and community awareness. Problem-solving methods were used to involve students in local environmental issues. Field experiences included trips to the mountains and seashore and community projects in water quality, recycling, and nature trail…

There are many ways to generate mathematical problems from a starting point. This author shares some thoughts that led to production of a number of them. The problems contained here range in level from Kindergarten to college. Walter starts by providing the problems so that the reader will have the opportunity to solve them without any hints.…

Article focused on the teaching methods teachers must utilize in order to stimulate student interest in music education. (RK)

Author presented a selection of examples of the role of connective analogies in invention/discovery. (Author/RK)

We show a new approach, based on the utilization of Mathematica, to solve gas permeation problems using membranes. We start with the design of a membrane unit for the separation of a multicomponent mixture. The built-in Mathematica function, FindRoot, allows one to solve seven simultaneous equations instead of using the iterative approach of…

Experience in using a user-friendly software, Mathcad, in the undergraduate chemical reaction engineering course is discussed. Example problems considered for illustration deal with simultaneous solution of linear algebraic equations (kinetic parameter estimation), nonlinear algebraic equations (equilibrium calculations for multiple reactions and…

Described the efforts of the international community to improve human health problems, overwhelming barriers to economic and social development. (Author/RK)

Recurring pressures for fiscal restraint threaten the existence of educational programs, such as competitive debate, which are not publicly perceived to produce worthwhile outcomes. Since debate is misunderstood and expensive, its advocates must be prepared to provide solid evidence of its benefits. Unfortunately, methodological weaknesses in…
