New York State Regents

When your president declined my suggestion to furnish a substitute for this occasion he stated that he desired a college teacher to introduce the topic, a fact which I may seem to overlook, for I believe that in general the best course in secondary school algebra for the student who does not go to college is the best course for the one that does. I am in a position to view the product of the high school course, or perhaps I should say the better product, and I might give my conclusions as to the parts of the work that need stressing. I shall try.

Mineral Identification

The use of computer simulations is discussed, especially in relation to science education. Issues of fidelity and transfer are briefly presented when a computer simulation is used instead of a laboratory activity. A computer program written by the author is described that simulates a typical mineral identification activity that would be performed in a high school earth science course. Student performance on the mineral identification portion of the New York State Regents Earth Science Exam was used to compare students who had been taught using the simulation and students who had used the laboratory based mineral activity. No difference was found in student performance between the two groups.
