1. The Effect of Immediate Environment on Children's Tendency to Reflect While Solving Problems.

Author

Edwards, Thomas M. and Edwards, Audrey T.

Abstract

Compared were children's reflective behavior in the classroom to their reflective behavior in individual environments. Examined were three environmental variables in terms of the way each affected reflective behavior in children. The variables are (1) report card grades vs. no grades for performance, (2) individual vs. classroom environment, and (3) dialogue with an adult vs. written test conditions. Results of testing showed that even though children differed in reflectivity within a testing condition, children taking written tests were in general more reflective than children tested under dialogue conditions. It was concluded that it would be unwise for educators or researchers to directly compare problem-solving scores obtained in different test environments. Also, teacher-student dialogue appears to be a particularly difficult environment for children working on complex problems. This rapid communications system apparently serves to discourage children from processing information sufficiently and therefore from solving complex problems. (BL)

2. Population Growth and America's Future, An Interim Report Prepared by the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future.

Author

Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, Washington, DC.

Abstract

As an interim report to the President and the Congress from the Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, this narration discusses the population situation in the United States, and outlines the questions being raised about the probable impact of future growth. It is suggested that it is not simply population growth itself that is the issue, but rather the quality of life that can be influenced so fundamentally by population. Statistics and graphs serve to elaborate the problems of this issue. Chapters are entitled: Population in Perspective, The Prospects for Population Change, Population and the Quality of Life, and Policy Issues. Appended material includes public law 91-213 establishing the Commission, sources of data for the report, and research projects and papers of the Commission. Findings and recommendations are to be presented in the final report scheduled for publication in 1972. (BL)

3. Required Research in Basic Business? You Bet!!!

Author

Mott, Dennis L.

Abstract

The benefit of research papers to a basic business class is not easily discernible through experimental research, but such intangible benefits as communicating ideas, identification of a problem, and practice at discovering conclusions based on facts seem reason enough to make research papers a part of the class assignment.
