Show moreEvery teacher has what he assumes to be a philosophy of education; frequently it is a composite of aspects of conflicting philosophies of education. This philosophy may be virtually unexamined in that little thought is given to its underlying assumptions and its implications for teaching practices. However, everything the teacher does, every technique and method he employs is drawn from or based upon assumptive concepts of his philosophy or conflicting philosophies of education. Without philosophy, which may be considered in terms of its standard of values, every teacher lacks a point of reference from which to orient the education of young people. He is without a defensible method of evaluation or means of interpreting the goals and aims set up as guides in education. Hence, the vital importance of an integrated philosophy or system of values that will give direction to everyday thinking and that will, in reality, constitute an inclusive way of life.

A study made by Marshall of the 1952 class at Leon County High School, Tallahassee, Florida, disclosed that 77.1 per cent of the students who entered the seventh grade in 1946 for the first time continued to graduation or one year after class had graduated. This is a higher percentage of graduating students than in many other high schools of the state. It is assumed desirable to have these young people stay in school the allotted time and to provide for them an educational program appropriate to their needs and to the needs of the society in which they live. Drop-outs, for one reason or another, are being thrust into an adult world to face adult problems before they have successfully coped with the problems of teenagers.

The field of education recognizes the basic human need for wholesome use of leisure time according to Nash. Modern education also affirms that individual differences in interests are enormous and vary tremendously from individual to individual within a group. With all these variations a great amount of grouping still takes place. It therefore stands to reason that there are certain factors which aid in determining how people spend their leisure time, and how people within a group are similar. Some of these factors are age, sex, intelligence, socio-economic status, and availability of opportunity to participate. This study will endeavor to investigate three factors, namely, sex, intelligence, and the change of participation during the various seasons of the year"--Introduction.

Title: Investigating Inquiry Beliefs and Nature of Science (NoS) Conceptions of Science Teachers as Revealed Through Online Learning.

Show moreCreating a scientifically literate society appears to be the major goal of recent science education reform efforts (Abd-El-Khalick, Boujaoude, Dushl, Lederman, Hofstein, Niaz, Tregust, & Tuan, 2004). Recent national reports in the U.S, such as Shaping the Future, New Expectations for Undergraduate Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology (NSF,1996), Inquiry in Science and In Classroom,. Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards (NRC, 2001), Pursuing excellence: Comparison of international eight-grade mathematics and science achievement from a U.S. perspective (NCES, 2001), and Standards for Science Teacher Preparation (NSTA 2003) appear to agree on one thing: the vision of creating a scientifically literate society. It appears from science education literature that the two important components of being a scientifically literate individual are developing an understanding of nature of science and ability to conduct scientific inquiries. Unfortunately, even though teaching science through inquiry has been recommended in national reports since the 1950's, it has yet to find its way into many science classrooms (Blanchard, 2006; Yerrick, 2000). Science education literature identfies several factors for this including: 1)lack of content knowledge (Anderson, 2002; Lee, Hart Cuevas, & Enders, 2004; Loucks-Horsely, Hewson, Love, & Stiles, 1998; Moscovici, 1999; Smith & Naele, 1989; Smith, 1989); 2)high stake tests (Aydeniz, 2006); 3) teachers' conflicting beliefs with inquiry-based science education reform (Blanchard, 2006; Wallace & Kang, 2004) ; and, 4) lack of collaboration and forums for communication (Anderson, 2002; Davis, 2003; Loucks-Horsely, Hewson, Love, & Stiles, 1998; Wallace & Kang, 2004). In addition to the factors stated above this study suggest that some of the issues and problems that have impeded inquiry instruction to become the primary approach to teaching science in many science classrooms might be related to teachers NOS conceptions. Developing desired understanding of nature of science conceptions and having an adequate experience with inquiry learning is especially important for science teachers because science education literature suggests that the development of teachers' nature of science conceptions is influenced by their experiences with inquiry science (Akerson et. al. 2000) and implementation of science lessons reflect teachers' NOS conceptions (Abd-EL-Khalick & Boujaoude, 1997; Matson & Parsons, 1998; Rosenthal, 1993; Trowbridge, Bybee & Powell, 2000; Turner & Sullenger, 1999). Furthermore, the impediments to successful integration of inquiry based science instruction from teachers' perspective are particularly important, as they are the implementers of inquiry based science education reform. The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between the teachers' NOS conceptions and their inquiry beliefs and practices in their classrooms and how this relationship impedes or contributes to the implementation of inquiry based science education reform efforts. The participants of this study were in-service teachers who were accepted into the online Masters Program in science education program at a southern university. Three online courses offered in the summer semester of 2005 constituted the research setting of this study: (1) Special Problems in the Teaching of Secondary School Science: Nature of Science & Science Teaching, (2) Curriculum in Science Education, and (3) Colloquium. Multiple data sources were used for data triangulation (Miles & Huberman, 1984; Yin, 1994) in order to understand the relationship between participants' NOS views and their conceptions and beliefs about inquiry-based science teaching. These include: (1) VNOS questionnaire, (2) Electronic postings, (3) Semi-structured interviews, (4) email correspondence, and (5) videotapes. The study revealed that the relationship between the teachers' NOS conceptions and their inquiry beliefs and practices is far from being simple and linear. Data suggests that the teachers' sophistication of NOS conceptions influence their perception of inquiry science instruction in variety of ways. In a nutshell, these include: 1) The teachers become more confident in their ability to implement inquiry-based science classes; 2) Better understanding of NOS conceptions assists the teachers develop a higher appreciation of inquiry science instruction; 3) The teachers' misconceptions about nature of science appear to be connected to their misconceptions about inquiry science instruction; 4) A better understanding of NOS concepts seems to have stimulate the teachers to put more emphasis on some aspects of inquiry more than others; and 5) Sophistication of teachers' NOS conceptions influences their decisions about the type of inquiry they plan to incorporate in their instruction. This study also suggests that enhancing teachers' NOS conceptions should be among the main objectives of inquiry-based professional development programs and courses that are taught in science education programs. Science education literature suggests that teachers' resistances to adopting inquiry-based science instruction may be related to their inadequate or inappropriate knowledge of the nature of science (Lederman & O' Malley, 1990; Lederman, 1992; Ryan & Aikenhead, 1992). This study reveals that enhancing NOS conceptions helps teachers in their efforts to integrate inquiry into their instruction by boosting their confidence in their abilities to teach science through inquiry. This study reveals that especially teachers who lack strong science backgrounds and prior experience with inquiry science are at risk. Not having a strong background in science and lacking extensive experience with inquiry science negatively influences the teachers' confidence and thus delays their efforts to implement inquiry-based science lessons.

Sometimes these, and similar questions, result in answers subjective in character being framed in such sweeping generalizations as today's youth does little or no personal reading. Such statements have been the motive for numerous investigative surveys. These studies have revealed the value of a permanent interest in reading as an essential aid to personal development and social culture. They have pointed out the increasing demands made by society for greater proficiency in reading. Also, they have shown the importance of the reading program in the curriculum as a medium for establishing in youth a permanent interest in reading both for information and for recreation. Thus far, however, surveys have not established the fact that reading interests and habits differ between rural and urban pupils. This study, therefore, is an attempt to discover what differences, if any, exist in the reading interests and habits between a group of rural and urban children. The pupils considered are those enrolled during the 1950-51 session in the tenth grade in Walton High School DeFuniak Springs, Florida. In the course of this paper, pupils who ride school busses a distance of two miles or more are to be identified as 'transported' pupils; those who live within a radius of two miles of the school center and who do not ride school busses are to be referred to as 'non-transported' pupils"--Introduction.

The compilation of such a bibliography has been undertaken as a step in achieving the good will and better understanding of English-speaking peoples in relation to China. As a result of discussion with Mrs. Sara K. Srygley, formerly Consultant in Library Service, Florida State Department of Education, and an examination of an available bibliography of books for high school libraries, it has been ascertained that there is a need for such a list"--Introduction.

Show moreAbstract: (Florida, Common Core State Standards, Mathematics Teachers, 2013) This thesis was designed to determine middle school teachers' perceptions of their state of readiness to enact the Common Core Standards in mathematics in the State of Florida. The descriptive study employed a survey of 100 middle school mathematics teachers throughout the State of Florida in an effort to understand how the state, counties, and administrations can best serve educators through the critical transition from Next Generation Sunshine State Standards to the Common Core State Standards. The survey developed for this study included twenty-seven questions. In order to determine how Florida compares to a similar survey of a generalized sample of United States teachers, this thesis compares the results of the Floridian survey to the results from the national sample. The results suggest that Florida teachers' perceptions of preparedness lag behind that of the rest of the country. The implications of these results are discussed.

Consistent with the principle stated above, the identification of the problems which are unique to these pupils is a first step in this task. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to identify the problems of youth in Liberty County as seen by the pupils enrolled in the Liberty County High School, and to explore their implications for the teaching of homemaking in that school. In many studies of this kind the researchers have administered either the Mooney Problems Check List or the S.R.A. Youth Inventory as a basis for identifying the problems of youth involved. The procedure followed in this study, however, included the development of a problems check list unique to this school. It was felt that this was necessary because of the nature of the school population itself, and because it was believed that in the Liberty County High School this procedure would be more effective in identifying the problems of concern to the pupils involved than having them simply check a standardized scale developed for use with large number of youth scattered throughout the country. In addition, the writer was anxious to get information concerning certain citizenship attitudes of the pupils, and their vocational and educational goals"--Introduction.

Title: An analysis of factors which contribute to or limit the development of a program based upon teacher understanding of pupil needs in the Sarasota Senior High School.

Abstract/Description: Why should a teacher who has not worked with senior high girls be concerned about these adolescents and their problems? There are two possible answers to this question. First, the teacher must have an understanding of the behavior patterns and characteristics of this specific age to have a reasonable amount of success for the year. And the second reason is that many adults have an inconsiderate attitude toward adolescents. These adolescents may be having difficulty in making an adjustment...
Show moreWhy should a teacher who has not worked with senior high girls be concerned about these adolescents and their problems? There are two possible answers to this question. First, the teacher must have an understanding of the behavior patterns and characteristics of this specific age to have a reasonable amount of success for the year. And the second reason is that many adults have an inconsiderate attitude toward adolescents. These adolescents may be having difficulty in making an adjustment from the role of a child to that of the adult. Therefore, it is indeed necessary that the classroom teacher study adolescent psychology so that she will be less inept, less negligent, and inconsiderate in her relationship with the students she encourages or influences whether in the classroom or throughout the day's activities.

Title: Construction and Implementation of a Bench-Top Aquaponic System as a Context for Teaching Science in Secondary Schools.
Creator: Fernandez, Sofia, Goldsby, Kenneth A., Department of Biological Science
Abstract/Description: Aquaponics is an integrated biological system that essentially combines a soil-less garden with an aquarium. It is important because it uses less water than commercial farming, is ecofriendly, and provides a local source of food for its practitioners. Aquaponics is also important because of its capacity to serve as an authentic teaching tool in science classrooms. This thesis is divided into three components.

Show moreAquaponics is an integrated biological system that essentially combines a soil-less garden with an aquarium. It is important because it uses less water than commercial farming, is ecofriendly, and provides a local source of food for its practitioners. Aquaponics is also important because of its capacity to serve as an authentic teaching tool in science classrooms. This thesis is divided into three components. First we will describe the construction and implementation of our Bench-top Aquaponics System (BAS). Next, the results of an experiment that compares two methods of establishing bacteria–culture in a fishless system will be presented. Finally, the potential for use of the BAS in STEM classrooms will be discussed. The goals of this project are to (1) create an Aquaponics system that has a small ecological footprint and not take up too much room in the classroom, (2) further the current body of research on applied aquaponic systems, and (3) provide a pedagogical tool that involves students in building equipment and solving authentic problems as a gateway for learning. The BAS is assembled in 3 separate compartments, a plant tray, an aquarium, and a bacteria reservoir, with PVC piping connecting the three. It is designed around a wooden frame that is smaller than 18 ft3. This design allows for students (and teachers) to easily access and see the different compartments of the system. Many of the problems we encountered came from plumping issues related to the fountain pump or the bell siphon; these were solved using applied physics principles. Other problems we faced, including biological were solved using more consistent testing and chemical reagents to stabilize our BAS. We learned ultimately that time is the key component in establishing a bacteria colony in any aquaponic system. We also learned that establishing bacteria is the most important step in setting up a successful aquaponic system whether on a large or miniaturized scale. Some aspects of this project that need further investigation include the importance of changing out the water of the system, whether dissolved oxygen is necessary for bacteria, and how/why consistently adding bacteria may stunt the ability of a bacteria colony to form. Conclusively we have found that it is not only possible to establish such an aquaponic system that is built by students, but it is also possible to maintain it. Further research is needed to estimate the Benchtop Aquaponic System's teaching potential within STEM classrooms.
