This is the second in a series of documents developed by the National Training and Operational Technology Center describing operational control procedures for the activated sludge process used in wastewater treatment. This document deals exclusively with the calculation procedures, including simplified mixing formulas, aeration tank…

This document is the appendix for a series of documents developed by the National Training and Operational Technology Center describing operational control procedures for the activated sludge process used in wastewater treatment. Categories discussed include: control test data, trend charts, moving averages, semi-logarithmic plots, probability…

This paper states that the real issue in multicultural education is to gain a clear sense of cultural dynamics as they affect education and to develop effective strategies for guaranteeing real equity in educational opportunity for all. The author discusses some essentials of multicultural education. First, the following nine essential…

The Henry Barnard Child Care Center was established on the Rhode Island College campus to achieve the following main objectives: (a) to provide a comprehensive quality day care program for young children, (b) to serve as a model and resource for existing day care centers within the state, and (c) to provide specifically designed laboratory…

This document is a first-person account by the mathematics coordinator at Temple University dealing with the segment of the TTT (Trainers of Teacher Trainers) project held at the Reynolds Elementary School. The stated purpose of this segment was to provide on-the-job experience in the area of elementary school mathematics. The basic program…

This document relates the basic notion of accountability to the preparation and supervision of teachers within the limits of accountability. The paper discusses the following questions: a) What competencies are the responsibility of preservice and in-service education? b) What is the role of supervision in teacher accountability? Of the…

In a description of two kinds of undergraduate courses involving development groups, the author differentiates between one course format that alternates a lecture-laboratory approach and one that makes no distinction between lecture and laboratory components. Both categories, cover a variety of cognitive material such as personality theory,…

This report studies the effects of exposure to simulated critical teaching problems on attitudes and student teaching behavior of prospective elementary teachers. The experimental group participated in simulated training over an 11-week period with feedback from the instructor as a part of their regular teacher training program. The control group…

Laboratory education is discussed from three viewpoints: (1) as an instrument for adult resocialization, (2) as an educational challenge which promotes personal but not social reconstruction, and (3) as a value medium which operates against the intellectual and independence modes. Criticism is focused on what the laboratory education technique…

The problem of improving university teaching is reviewed and is seen as part of the process of re-education and change. A teaching laboratory is proposed including provision for feedback mechanism, self-confrontation processes, simulation, and microteaching. Case studies of the use of microteaching and video recording are reported. (Editor/JT)

Tests the hypothesis that political science students using computer-based games in an American government course would achieve at a higher level and evaluate the games at least as favorably as traditional modes of instruction. Findings were positive. (DB)

The laboratory approach to science and mathematics is described as a refreshing change for both teacher and students. Suggestions are given for planning a laboratory-based program. Guidelines for teachers of both handicapped and non handicapped are included. A school for handicapped children in Minneapolis is described. (EB)

Describes a research project examining non-professional knowledge of and attitudes to sensitivity training groups. A questionnaire was distributed to college students, police officers and members of a group dynamics class. Results indicate that all three groups had fairly positive attitudes towards sensitivity training. (NG)

Describes a one semester physics laboratory course which requires students to play roles of scientists, researchers, and technicians. (SL)

Describes an introductory individualized physics laboratory system for science and engineering students. (SL)
