The value of socialized arithmetic drills and tests as positive factors in personality development

"This paper is an account of a project which began primarily as an attempt to set up an activity program that would result in a high degree of accuracy in computational operations. It soon became evident that the activity was serving as an instrument for removing emotional blocks and relieving frustrations. A pleasant atmosphere of cooperative interprise took the place of classroom discipline, and the teacher found herself no longer a 'party to,' but a partner in a learning situation. The program has completed its fourth year. It has been revised, adapted, and added to, when the situation indicated a need. The classes taking part in the most recently revised activities are the ones whose performances are described in this paper"--Introduction. / "August, 1949." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts under Plan II." / Advisor: W.
