Journal Of The Col Of Science

Contain papers read during the session 1933/1934-1934/1935 before the Imperial college chemical society ... the Royal college of science natural history society, the Royal college of science mathematical and physical society. The papers are in three sections, each with a special title corresponding to the three scientific societies.

A goal of mine ever since becoming an educational researcher has been to help construct a sound theory to guide instructional practice. For far too long, educational practice has suffered because we have lacked firm instructional guidelines, which in my view should be based on sound psychological theory, which in turn should be based on sound neurological theory. In other words, teachers need to know how to teach and that "how-to-teach" should be based solidly on how people learn and how their brains function. As you will see in this book, my answer to the question of how people learn is that we all learn by spontaneously generating and testing ideas. Idea generating involves analogies and testing requires comparing predicted consequences with actual consequences. We learn this way because the brain is essentially an idea generating and testing machine. But there is more to it than this. The very process ofgenerating and testing ideas results not only in the construction of ideas that work (i. e. , the learning of useful declarative knowledge), but also in improved skill in learning (i. e. , the development of improved procedural knowledge).

"This research quarterly, or Iowa State College Journal of Science, has been authorized and established for several distinct purposes as follows : First, to furnish a medium for the prompt publication of the results of research. Experience has shown that many of the technical and scientific journals are at present overcrowded, and it is frequently impossible to secure publication of an article for many months or even a year or more after acceptance. Second, to give opportunity for the publication of preliminary notes. Third, to afford space for the publication of some articles of greater length than can usually be accepted by special journals. Fourth, to give a publication channel to such results of workers on the research staffs as are scarcely long enough to warrant publication as separate bulletins. Fifth, to provide for the prompt publication of certain of the doctoral dissertations. The Journal has come into being as the result of the studies and recommendations of a committee acting for the Iowa State College Chapter of the Society of the Sigma Xi, and for the Osborne Research Club. It is to be trusted that in form, content and scope the publication will reach the high standards set by its proponents."--page [2], Volume 1, number 1 (October 1926).
