Radio Contact

The World's Fair of 1939 has the distinction of being the first of its kind to be heralded around the world by men from the air. The flight of Howard Hughes and his men will long be remembered by millions of Americans who followed his progress hour by hour around the globe. The speed of the trip startled the whole nation. The constant radio contact between the plane and the rest of the world was especially remarkable. The flight followed a prearranged schedule with such precision that the distance traveled was only twenty miles greater than the planned mileage.

I am very conscious of the honor done to me and to the teachers of Britain by your president in asking me to address you. My qualifications for talking about American schools and educational methods are very slight indeed compared with (hose of many of you here today, so I am quite sure that it is not on those grounds that I am being asked to speak to you. Perhaps it is that someone is a little suspicious of the report that I am going to curry baek to England, and is contemplating “bumping me off” if I haven't formed satisfactory impressions of this beautiful state of yours! For my own safety, then, I will say at once that I think that Colorado is one of the most beautiful places in the world, that the people of Colorado are among the most hospitable in the world, and that the schools of Denver, which are the only Colorado schools that I know much about, are among the best in the world.

This study aims to review the instruments of mathematics teaching practice among secondary school mathematics teachers. A total of 100 mathematics teachers were involved as respondents in this study. The data were analyzed descriptively by access to Alpha Cronbach's reliability and EFA analysis using SPSS software. The results of the analysis show that the Alpha Cronbach value is 0.934 which is more than 0.60. Results from the exploration factor analysis show four factors with Eigenvalues greater than 1.0. The KMO value (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) 0.867 > 0.6 indicates the items in the variable of attitude towards math are sufficient for inter-correlation. While the Bartlett Test was significant (Chi-Square 1521.621, p <0.05), an anti-image value (Measure of Sampling Adequacy, MSA) for items correlation exceeded 0.6. However, there are three items that need to be removed because the values obtained are less than 0.60, which were the items G11, G14, and G18. The value of the total variance explained by these three factors was 62.76 percent. Therefore, the overall findings indicate that the items for mathematics teaching practice instruments can measure and answer the study objectives.
