Note Taking

This research-based session explores the need for explicit note taking instruction for students in upper-elementary grades through high school. The benefits of taking notes by hand versus using a keyboard are also examined. Participants will learn specific note taking strategies to teach students that will benefit all types of learners.

Mathematics And Science

THE PUBLIC PRESSURE to produce more scientists will quicken the interest in mathematics. The publicity given to sputnik, the shot truly heard around the world, will resound from the kindergarten through the university. The resulting changes which will undoubtedly occur in the curriculum will have to be evaluated by educators at some future date. But to one who has taught in both public schools and teacher education institutions, it seems apparent that much good will obtain from greater emphasis on mathematics and science. Certainly educators have taken a great deal of criticism (justly given) from lay critics about our mathematically illiterate graduates from both high school and college. In fact, if they are deficient in mathematics on leaving high school, the colleges contribute to this deficiency rather than lessen it. This may happen in one of two ways. First, if they are forced into required college mathematics for which they are unprepared they fail or muddle through thereby increasing their frustrations toward mathematics; or secondly, they avoid mathematics entirely and are four years further removed from it on graduation.

This study examines the level of health knowledge of specific categories of Jordanian teachers to see which category is competent enough to teach health as a separate school subject. The Health Awareness Test (HAT) was administered to 670 teachers of whom there were seventy-four science teachers at the compulsory stage, 139 Arabic language teachers at the upper elementary stage, 342 elementary grades teachers, thirty-four high school physics teachers, thirty-three high school chemistry teachers, and forty-eight high school biology teachers. The data analysis revealed that of the target groups, only female teachers of biology, chemistry, and physics and male teachers of biology, reached the acceptable level in knowledge about health as measured by HAT. Sex as well as specialization (the subject the teacher teaches) differences were found to be significant favoring female over male and biology teachers followed by chemistry teachers over the rest of the groups. The interaction between sex and specialization was not significant The implications of the above results for curriculum planning are discussed.

Measurement Tools

This program consists of measurement tools and geometric figures for usc in teaching geometry. It seems to be geared to students who have a working knowledge of, and can manipulate, a computer with case. It can be used in place of real tools, which arc often inappropriate for some students. Students have the option of manipulating the tools in many ways. It appears that upper elementary school. middle school, and high school students will benefit the most from this program.

Hearing Problem

This report reviews 27 cases of children exhibiting functional hearing loss. The study reveals that most students were in the upper elementary grades and were predominantly females. These subjects were functioning below their ability level in school and were usually in conflict with school, home, or peers. Tests used were selected on the basis of their helping to provide early identification. The subjects' oral and behavioral responses are presented, as well as ways of resolving the hearing problem. Some helpful counseling techniques are also presented.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the ways in which adolescent students who stutter perceive their school experiences. Method This study used a qualitative, phenomenological research design. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 7 adolescent students who stutter (3 in middle school and 4 in high school). Participants were interviewed about their school experiences, including the effects of stuttering on academics, learning, teacher relationships, peer relationships, speech therapy experiences, and self-image. Data analysis consisted of transcribing interviews and analyzing them for emerging themes. Results Findings revealed that participants described a variety of experiences around the school setting. Participants reported less favorable middle school experiences. Middle school participants reflected more on teasing, bullying, and feelings of embarrassment, whereas high school participants revealed that teachers, staff, and peers were receptive and accepting of them and their stuttering. All participants reported that their speech therapy helped with classroom participation. Conclusions As a result of the participants' varied experiences, it is important to listen to and incorporate the voices of students who stutter into school, classroom, and therapy decision-making practices.
