TELETEACHING--A NEW APPROACH TO TEACHING ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY HOMEBOUND PUPILS.

Teleteaching is a system by which groups of homebound children are given full time instruction via the telephone. The present report is an attempt to appraise an experimental program of teleteaching in Los Angeles. The 26 children in the teleteaching study made satisfactory educational progress according to followup evaluation of semester grades, and interviews with pupils, their parents, teleteachers, and regular school teachers. Recommendations to further improve teleteaching are also included.

Fourth-Grade Pupils Study a Number System with Base Five

A SUCCESSFUL program in elementary mathej matics emphasizes the ability of pupils to do quan titative thinking and to understand arithmetic as a closely-knit system of ideas, principles and pro cesses. In order for elementary arithmetic pupils to think or communicate efficiently in the language of elementary mathematics, they must have an un derstanding of the nature and characteristics of the number system used. The Hindu-Arabic decimal number system is the foundation upon which the system of arithmetic is constructed. One of the basic objectives of the modern ele mentary arithmetic program is to have pupils de velop an understanding of the number system we use. The development of this understanding is often hampered by mental sets on the part of teachers and pupils and/or varying meanings of the terms used in explanation and discussion. Since, in many respects, children develop their understanding of our number system in much the same way that the system itself developed, one method of improving or increasing this under standing may be to allow elementary pupils to de velop a number system with base other than ten, using a minimum of old terms, and discovering relationships between the newly-developed system and the Hindu-Arabic system. The study of number systems with bases other than ten has generally been restricted to the en richment programs of pupils more advanced in grade level with the expressed purpose of increas ing their understanding of numbers and number system. A procedure which helps pupils to de velop a more complete understanding of our num ber system earlier in the elementary grades would have advantages in 1) classroom time and effort saved from reteaching and remedial work, 2) pu pils' successes in the arithmetical skills and con cepts to be achieved, and 3) possible increased motivation toward study of mathematics. Authors of texts dealing with methods of teach ing arithmetic discuss this problem very briefly, if at all, and generally infer that the properties | HAROLD H LERCH

The Relation of Mental Health Analysis Scores to Teacher Ratings of Mental Health Status of Elementary Pupils

THIS STUDY is concerned with whether elemen tary pupils selected by their teachers as having relatively high mental health status and relatively low mental health status differ with respect to the several components, categories, and total score of the Mental Health Analysis. The correlation of teacher ratings of mental health status to the re spective parts and total score of the Mental Health Analysis was also studied.

Arithmetic for the Gifted

The teacher of a group of 25 or more active and interested elementary pupils finds herself faced constantly with the problem of what to do with the ones who get through quickly, while she employs her talents and patience with those who need closer supervision.

Inconsistencies in the Teaching of Arithmetic in the Elementary Grades

In order to introduce the subject matter in this article the following truefalse test is given for the reader. It is suggested the reader take this test and attempt to rationalize each answer in Ianguage suitable for elementary grade pupils. Preserve your test answers and compare them and your discussions of the items with those of the author which will be printed in the next issue.

Relationships Between Visual Characteristics and Specific Silent Reading Abilities

VISUAL CHARACTERISTICS have been studied frequently by those interested in reading disability since the early published work of Javal in the latter nineteenth century. In some instances they have been studied as separate anomalies, such as acuity, fusion, imbalance or stereopsis; at other times in general groupings, as defect or need for corrective lenses. In nearly all cases the various an omalies have been examined in their relationship to either speed of reading or general reading ability, not in their relationship to separ ate reading skills such as word recognition, blending or visual anal ysis of words. Despite the many investigations, there are wide differences of op inion concerning the effect of poor vision on reading achievement. The studies do suggest areas for research, however. Regarding acuity, some investigators have thought hyperopia to be a handicap in the us ual reading program, some have indicated that myopia does not ap pear to retard the pupil and may be an advantage to him in learning to read, and others have stated that a sub-normal left-eye acuity may contribute to word recognition errors. Fusion difficulty does not ap pear to be related to poor achievement in reading, but a considerable body of evidence suggests that eye-muscle imbalance is a correlate of poor reading. Conservative estimates of visual difficulty among elementary pupils indicate that among thirty percent or more the eyes do not test normal. Visual problems are common enough to make knowledge of their educational significance imperative. It is the purpose of the present study to determine whether or not

An Experimental Study of the Effects of Perceptual Training on Group I.Q. Test Scores of Elementary Pupils in Rural Ungraded Schools

This study was designed around two methods groups, an experimen tal methods group exposed to exercises with visual perceptual mate rials, and a control group which participated in the testing program, but continued with the regular school program. The experiment was confined to samples of intact classes drawn from the population of rural one or two teacher elementary schools in a Virginia county. The experiment was duplicated in white and Negro schools. A white and a Negro experimental group were selected, and a white and a Negro control group were selected. White and Negro experimental groups received similar training with identical materials. Results from the duplicated experiments (white and Negro) were treated se parately. The pupils in the white schools were about evenly divided among grades one, two, and three. There were 25 pupils in the white experi mental group and 28 pupils in the white control group. The pupils in the Negro schools were about evenly divided among grades one, two, three, and four. There were 29 pupils in the Negro experimental group and 22 pupils in the Negro control group. In all these schools the grade designations were simply for classi fication purposes, for each group was an intact classroom group un der a single teacher.

Should the Standardized Final Examination Determine the Entire Grade in the Course?

The usual procedure for ascertaining the final grade of elementary foreign-language pupils consists of totaling all weekly quizes, surprise quizes, daily work and attendance, pronunciation, and the final examination. Most instructors average all these marks, along with a final thought to the individual's conduct in class, his tardiness, and promise of better scholarship, etc. With all its subjective and objective factors such a complicated and time-consuming method prevails in most courses in the standard fields of foreign language instruction in high schools, colleges and universities.
