Faculty Members Supervise Experiment In Technique Of Spelling Instruction
Two faculty members observed an experiment in the technique of teaching spelling in Concordia and McPherson, Kan., Dec. 8 and 9. More than 2000 students were subjects for the experiment.
Henry P. Smith, associate professor of education and Fred Montgomery, assistant professor of education and director of visual education, made the trip.
The experiments are being carried on in the public schools of Lawrence, Concordia, McPherson, and Kansas City, Kan., and will continue for the entire school year. The third, fourth, and fifth grades are the experimental groups.
1. The controlled method or present method. The teacher uses the regular text book and students study from the text.
The experiments are of three types:
2. The multi-sensory method, whereby the students see the words, hear them, write them, and speak them. Under this method words are flashed on a black board from a projector using a glass plate. The words are usually flashed for a second or less.
3. The pupil-coach method under which one student is the teacher and the other student the pupil. Students then switch so that each has an opportunity to obtain experience as the coach and student.
All three types of experiments are being carried on in each grade level in each school. For example, three groups of third grade students will each be working under one of the above techniques.
Dr. Smith and Dr. Montgomery have made two earlier inspection trips this year. They will make other trips later in the year. The purpose of the trips is to see that the experiment is properly planned and to answer questions which teachers may have regarding the techniques.
Dr. Montgomery explains that the large number of students in the experiments will add to the validity of the results. He said that he was unable to say which technique was proving the most successful at this time.
Professor Montgomery said that the teachers have reported enthusiastic interest in the experiments on the part of the students.
