Characteristics that industrial laboratory employers desire in science graduates are the ability to think, to achieve objectives, to communicate, interdisciplinary interests, energy and enthusiasm, and proper attitudes toward and understanding of industrial research. (CP)

Reviews studies published between 1964-1968 on laboratory training in human relations and its use and relationship to the improvement of organizational effectiveness. (LN)

Utilizing structured laboratory situation and intervention approach, role playing children were trained to behave differently in each of these situations in an effort to determine possible effects upon the mothers. Differences in mothers' reinforcing behavior and teaching style were noted in response to the children's changing behaviors. (Authors)

Describes a training program which sought to train a staff of mental health professionals to function in different ways in a reorganized urban mental health system. (AN)

Testing shows technical students do better working out lab experiments either individually or in pairs rather than in larger groups. Technical Education is a bimonthly supplement to Industrial Arts and Vocational Education. (Editor/GB)

Describes how small engine repair and marketing can be merged into a venture for the student to earn-and-learn while pursuing a course in power mechanics instruction. (GR)

In laboratory training, the systematic use of feedback as a learning mechanism, along with strategies to involve the participants, constitute major departures from more classic teaching-learning techniques. (EB)

Presents a concise review of the relevant literature on small laboratory groups and their supposed contribution to moral growth; consideration of the cognitive-developmental approach to relationships between moral thought and moral action; and a description of the questions, instruments, and procedures that provided the framework for the reported…

Discusses the viability of cognitive apprenticeship for learning science in relation to findings from an investigation of a research project involving high school students working in a university chemical engineering laboratory under the mentorship of a university-based scientist. Reports that students were empowered to seek empirically viable…

After extinction of fear to a Pavlovian conditional stimulus (CS), contextual stimuli come to regulate the expression of fear to that CS. There is growing evidence that the context dependence of memory retrieval after extinction involves the hippocampus. In the present experiment, we examine whether hippocampal involvement in memory retrieval…

Nanoscience refers to the fundamental study of scientific phenomena, which occur at the nanoscale--nanotechnology to the exploitation of novel properties and functions of materials in the sub-100 nm size range. One of the underlying principles of science is development of models of observed phenomena. In biology, the Hardy-Weinberg principle is a…

Defines the self-study group and differentiates it from other laboratory training groups. Investigates the effects of sex and style of the facilitators on group members. Presented at the American Group Psychotherapy Association Convention, Boston, Mass., February, 1976. (HMV)

The Impromptu Teaching Model was designed by the University of Central Arkansas for use by preservice teachers in laboratory teaching experiences. Two teaching exercises, microteaching and reflective teaching, form the basis for impromptu teaching. Microteaching provides teachers with the opportunity to master various technical skills of the…

This is the report of a study of the effects of an optional attendance policy on actual lecture and laboratory attendance and on cognitive examination performance in the medical physiology course at the University of Kansas Medical Center. (Editor)
