Boardman, Anthony E.; And Others – 1974
This paper models the educational process by a system of simultaneous equations. The endogenous variables (educational outputs) are a pupil's achievement, participation in a college preparatory program, need for achievement (aspirations), demonstrated motivation (effort), expectations, self-esteem, belief in his ability to control his environment…

Iowa Univ., Iowa City. Special Education Curriculum Development Center. – 1968
The guide, intended as a model for teachers who will develop their own arithmetic curricular materials, introduces concepts sequentially from simple to complex and continues them from one level to the next at increasingly more difficult and abstract levels. The program is arbitrarily cut into four levels to correspond to school divisions: primary…

Axford, H. William, Ed. – 1973
These proceedings include four articles intended to familiarize librarians with many facets of operations research and how they might be applied to their institutions. The first paper provides a brief definition of operations research. The second presentation, by Ralph Shoffner, relates, in the form of concrete examples, the questions one asks…

McGaw, Barry; Joreskog, Karl G. – 1970
This study attempts to determine whether the pattern of human abilities varies or remains constant over a range of ability levels. Scores on 12 aptitude and achievement tests for 11,743 subjects, subdivided into four groups according to intelligence and socioeconomic status, were used. A technique, developed by Joreskog, for simultaneously factor…

McReynolds, William Peter – 1971
The document contents divide into (1) the basic flow model of an educational system and its application to the secondary school system of Ontario and (2) a group of interrelated submodels that describe the entrance to higher education in considerably finer detail. In the first section, the principal variable of the model--the transition…

Wattenbarger, James L.; Starnes, Paul M. – 1976
The philosophical underpinning of the purposes of the community college, an examination of the basis for state financial support from a philosophical viewpoint, and an analysis of the ways in which the various states have implemented that philosophy in financial support programs are the central focus of this report. The four current patterns of…

Lester, Frank K., Jr. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
It is suggested that elementary school students find rational numbers troublesome because some teachers have an inadequate understanding of rational number concepts and poor facility with rational numbers skills. How to help them overcome difficulties, develop concepts, and know what topics to emphasize are discussed. (MNS)
