This study investigated the attitude toward reading and the self-reported reading behaviors of 276 gifted students in grades 1 through 12. Females had more positive attitudes toward reading and reported that reading was a hobby more frequently than males. Primary students had more positive attitudes toward reading than did senior high students. Primary students reported reading more books per month than intermediate level, junior high school, and senior high school students. Senior high school students reported reading the least number of books per month.
A n effort, has been made to establish a criterion of accuracy for the average student in elementary physical chemistry in the writers' laboratory. This has been accomplished by making a systematic record of actual results, acceptable and unacceptable, turned in during a period of eight years. A table is given showing the results of certain representative exercises, together with a brief discussion of the salient points. It is the belief of the writers that the average student will not,, in the time allotted, be able to do the experiments customarily assigned, if the limits of error are defined as closely as they are in the quantitative laboratory. For certain experiments the student average is different-from the theoretical or commonly accepted result. * Findlav, "Practical Physical Chemistry,'' 4th ed., Longmans, Green & Co., 1925, gives limits of error in a number of exercises.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
