THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN READING ABILITY AND SYNTACTICAL MEDIATION IN PAIRED-ASSOCIATE (PA) LEARNING WAS EXAMINED. SUBJECTS WERE 64 FOURTH AND SECOND GRADERS IN WISCONSIN WHO WERE GROUPED ACCORDING TO GRADE LEVEL, TWO READING LEVELS, TWO TYPES OF INSTRUCTION, AND SEX. THE INSTRUCTIONAL TYPES WERE MEDIATION AND NONMEDIATION: THE STIMULI WERE 16 PICTURES PAIRED TO MINIMIZE ASSOCIATION VALUE. THE ...

The Observation School conducted by the University of Pennsylvania during its summer session is regarded not as a model but as a typical elementary school in which the pupils are representative of the typical school group. These pupils are recruited from the Philadelphia schools and accepted in the order of their application until the grades are filled. A teacher of the fourth grade in this sch...

Reading interest and students’ creative thinking skills cannot be optimal in the current learning process. Several things cause this. One of them is low models. It happens because activities applied by teacher are less innovative varied. This study aims to analyze effect using Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy-Oriented Learning Activities on reading elementary school students. The used a quasi-experimen...

This investigation deals with the effects of slip, magnetic field and non-Newtonian flow parameters on flow and heat transfer of an incompressible, electrically conducting fourth grade fluid past an infinite porous plate subject to suction and blowing, known as the Blasius flow problem. The heat transfer analysis has been carried out for two heating processes, namely, when the plate is assumed ...

The governing equations for the unsteady flow of a uniformly conducting incompressible fourth-grade fluid due to noncoaxial rotations of a porous disk and the fluid at infinity are constructed. The steady flow of the fourth-grade fluid subjected to a magnetic field with suction/blowing through the disk is studied. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations resulting from the balance of momen...

Using a quasiexperimental design, the authors examine whether fourth- and fifth-grade students exposed to a developmental physical education (PE) curriculum, Michigan's Exemplary Physical Education Curriculum (EPEC), demonstrated stronger motor skill-specific self-efficacy and perceptions of physical activity competence, physical activity levels, motor skills, and physical fitness than did stud...

OBJECTIVE This article examines the association between fathers' alcohol problems and children's effortful control during the transition from middle childhood to early adolescence (fourth to sixth grade). Additionally, we examined the role of two potential moderators of this association, fathers' antisocial behavior and child gender. METHOD The sample consisted of 197 families (102 nonalcohol...
