The purpose of this study was to examine differences in psychomotor learning using three different presentation formats for providing information and facilitating feedback applied in Keller's Personalized System of Instruction (PST) in a college level bowing course. The course was taught as part of the Basic Instruction Program (BIP) at a large, Southeastern university. Utilizing the principles of Russell’s (1980) Novice Spare Conversion System specific sources of data were analyzed to determine significant differences which existed among and within three forms of presentation formats used for providing information related to converting common spares during the spare conversion unit of a beginning level bowling course. Based on results attained from comparisons of specific formats’ unit skills tests and student perceptions, the study determined the effects of each presentation format as a means of presenting information as part of a PSI design in the psychomotor domain. The three presentation formats were: (a) text (T), (b) text and static graphics (TG), and (c) text, static graphics, and animation (TGA). The findings from this investigation focused on the examination of the effects of three forms of presentation formats applied in a specific course in the psychomotor domain. The effects of each format were examined by analyzing data of significant differences among presentation groups in ten comparisons related to their use for providing skill-related information and the facilitation of feedback in a spare conversion unit as a part of a PSI designed bowling course. Based on information gained from the ten comparisons eight were shown to display no significant difference among presentation formats. / Ph. D.

Students enrolled in two beginning bowling classes received the same basic instruction on bowling techniques, but practiced under two different levels of precision of knowledge of results (KOR). The experimental group practiced by rolling at a full set of ten bowling pins with each ball (precise KOR). The control group practiced by shadow bowling (general KOR). There were no significant differences between groups in the effects of the two practice conditions upon the acquisition skills. There were no significant groups by tests interaction either. There was, however, a significant trials effect across groups. It was concluded that although both practice conditions resulted in skill acquisition, neither level of precision of knowledge of results was superior to the other.

This study investigated the effects of four different types of mental practice (free imagery, directed visual, directed reading, and directed audio) on the performance of 45 beginning and 40 intermediate college bowlers. The groups bowled six games with two sets of five minutes of mental practice prior to the first frame and the sixth frame of each game. Data were analyzed by a two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures. No significant differences existed between treatment groups at either the beginning or intermediate levels. Conclusions were that no one technique of mental practice was more effective than another in increasing bowling performance.

Comprised of seven essays, this collection of literary nonfiction explores one man's journey into the teaching profession. The author recounts his experiences from just before he heard the call, to his first year teaching as an intern at Punahou School in Honolulu, through his first three years teaching full-time, and the challenges, mostly internal conflicts, he worked through as he taught freshmen and then two junior/senior electives before eventually going on sabbatical to Tanzania for his ninth year.

The goal of this thesis is to create a financial project of Take-over Company and specify the steps that lead to its profitability. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first, theoretical section describes the calculations used, marketing plan and market analysis. The second part is practical and there is specifically described a plan how to deal with building a restaurant with bowling and beach sports pitch in the town Rakovník and what is the expected development during the first five years. Key to the success of company is the marketing plan and the use of employee benefits in the cooperating companies. The thesis should provide the appropriate basis for investor and subsequent realization of the project.

Here, the Master’s thesis entitled „Communication strategy for the firm Bowling Blansko“ deals with the marketing and especially the communication strategy.
