Beginning in 1957, Arizona State College at Flagstaff has sponsored summer institutes for high school teachers, financed by the National Science Foundation, but, until the fall of 1959, we were unaware that the N.S.F. was also interested in offering extra study opportunities to high school students.

The University

The first institute at the State University of South Dakota was hold in 1958. It was created in response to a request by certain South Dakota high-school superintendents that high-school students of outstanding academic ability be provided an on-campus program to challenge their capabilities. The first institute was attended by eighteen students who paid most of their own expenses. The curriculum for the institute was planned by the Honors Committee of the university and included mathematics and English as the basic subjects.

Preliminary Phase

<p>The purpose of this research is to find out the differentiation between high school biology olympiad in the District of North Kayong and the National Biology Olympiad. The analysis is used to provide feedback to students regarding their knowledge in the forms of factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive traits. This research is a descriptive study consisting of two phases: the stage of designing test items carried out by four Biology teachers who joined the group, Science Teachers Council, and the test tryout phase given to 33 high school students of class XI. This research resulted in the dimensions of knowledge which indicates that there are 79% (63 items) being in the dimension of the factual, as much as 15% (12 items) in the conceptual, as much as 6% (5 items) in the procedural, while the metacognitive dimension is 0%. The question package which was given in the preliminary phase test was 5% considered difficult, while in the final stage such difficulty was not found (0%). Therefore, it is concluded that the question items need to be revised because they have differentiation between high school biology olympiad in the District of North Kayong and the National Biology Olympiad.</p>

This article concerns a National Science Foundation project which centered around a summer institute for high school physics teachers. The dual focus of the institute was on computational programs in instructional physics and on concepts in physics. Twenty teachers from eleven states participated in this program. This article describes the summer program and its follow-up, and lists a wide variety of microcomputer projects which the participants developed. These projects are available to any interested physics teacher who writes the author and supplies a double-sided diskette.

Mathematically Talented

For two years a summer program supported by the National Science Foundation for mathematically talented highschool juniors has been conducted at Saint Louis University. This program was for a single discipline, “mathematics,” and was designed to supplement and enrich the regular high-school instruction, not to replace it, so that neither high-school credit nor advanced standing was gained through attendance.

Parent Program

A modification of the Paired-Stimuli Parent Program (Florance, 1977) was adapted for the treatment of articulatory errors of visually handicapped children. Blind high school students served as clinical aides. A discussion of treatment methodology, and the results of administrating the program to 32 children, including a two-year follow-up evaluation to measure permanence of behavior change, is presented.
