Excerpt from A Comparative Study of Classroom Methods in the Teaching of Chemistry: A DissertationThe scope of this investigation covered a year's work in Chemistry I as carried out in the Strathcona High School, Edmonton, during the year 1938 1959.Three Grade XI classes were involved in the experiment. The students, numbering one hundred and two in all, were beginners in Chemistry, with the exception of six who were repeating the course.The three classes were unselected as to number, quality and attainment. Exigencies of school organization made it impossible to make any preliminary selection or to attempt to balance the classes in these regards. The students were at liberty to select the classes which they attended and, in making their selection, timetable considerations were paramount. However, during the first week they were advised as to the nature of the experiment and were invited to arrange their programs as far as possible to suit their own preferences as to the type of instruction offered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
