Item A study to determine the level of entrepreneurship being taught at high schools in the state of Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Business, 1993) Bell, Karen Guenthner; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Norman L. MillikinThe primary purpose of the study was to determine the level of entrepreneurship being taught at high schools in the state of Montana. The population selection included social studies teachers, vocational education teachers and administrators from the four classifications of public high schools. The sample size was 216 educators from 72 public high schools. Data were gathered through a literature review and survey instrument. The main conclusions of this study were: (1) Montana educators stated that entrepreneurship is a valuable addition to the curriculum; (2) it should be integrated within other courses in the vocational education area; (3) awareness and skills should be taught principally at the high school level; and (4) the majority of schools are not teaching entrepreneurship at all due to time and funding restraints as well as state graduation requirements. Recommendations to Montana educators were to: (1) develop and implement entrepreneurial units for each elementary grade level; (2) begin a campaign to promote entrepreneurship concepts in Montana high schools; (3) continue entrepreneurship integration at the high school level; and (4) provide training to Montana educators to increase their comfort level of teaching entrepreneurship.Item The effectiveness of Business Week(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Business, 1993) Alzheimer, Timothy Charles; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Norman L.

The population selected included students that attended Business Week during the 1988, 1989, and 1990 sessions. The sample size was 200 students selected from the population. Data were gathered through a literature review and a survey instrument. A 43% response rate was received on the survey instrument, which was carried out via parcel post.

Recommendations would be to: (1) maintain the present size of classes and companies at Business Week; (2) continue to hold Business Week on the campus of Montana State University; (3) allow high school seniors the opportunity to participate in Business Week; (4) make sure high school teachers are receiving and sharing information concerning Business Week with their students.Item Perceptions and identification of problem solving activities in secondary industrial arts and technology education programs in Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1989) Lodermeier, William David; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Douglas PoletteItem Effect of the use of an Internet-based 'problem of the week' on high school geometry student problem-solving achievement and attitudes toward mathematics(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1999) Goudelock, Clifford P.Item Ninth and twelfth grade students' and parents' attitudes toward the teaching of family life and sex education in Simms High School(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1980) LaRocque, Pamela RuthItem Learning strategies of concurrent enrollment students at Utah Valley State College(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1997) Ungricht, Ted RulonItem A comparison of public and parochial school student religious attitudes(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 1983) Keeley, John Joseph
