This paper proposes a computer-aided teaching model using knowledge graph construction and learning path recommendation. It first creates a multimodal knowledge graph to illustrate complex relationships among knowledge. Learning elements and sequences are then used to form time sequences stored as directed graphs, supporting flexible path…

Article shows that the integration of electronic data processing and programed instruction is capable of leading to more efficient and effective material presentations. (Author)

Discusses the use of color computer graphics in teaching computer programing in the data processing department at Florida A and M University. A description of the course of study for data processing majors at the University is included. (JJD)

Describes a project at Honeywell Information Systems that uses Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) to train employees to make more effective use of computers. Notes that industry is leading the way in Data Processing (DP) training and may be evolving solutions to public education's shortage of DP training resources. (MP)

Personal computers and the many telecommunications options will have an important role in the facilitation of improved professional practice of adult educators. Three items are needed to set up for telecommunications: the personal computer, the modem, and a communications (software) package. Potential uses of personal computers by adult educators…

The training of computer programers could be more efficient and more effective if two major changes were implemented. First, the analytical method of teaching programing and programing languages should be replaced by the global method. The former provides introductions to information processing and programing and then teaches the programing…

To determine the number and current use of microcomputers in Alberta's elementary, junior, and senior high schools, a total of 1,509 schools were surveyed. The results, as reported by 1,271 schools (84.2%), showed the total number of microcomputers to be 13,748. To provide more in-depth information, schools were categorized by six instructional…

This report describes a computer managed instruction (CMI) system operated by the Navy which involves approximately 9,000 students a day in ten technical training schools, and the research and development effort that has taken place to ensure the most cost-effective and productive technical training system. Major system problems were identified…

Hybrid computation facilities have been in operation at Louisiana State University since the spring of 1969. In part, they consist of an Electronics Associates, Inc. (EAI) Model 680 analog computer, an EAI Model 693 interface, and a Xerox Data Systems (XDS) Sigma 5 digital computer. The hybrid laboratory is used in a course on hybrid computation…

A field experiment is described on the use of computer-related instruction at the college level in political science. The program modules are designed to: (1) teach a substantive body of knowledge in an introductory American government course; (2) introduce students to the basic methods of data analysis; and (3) teach elementary techniques of…

A rationale for the use of gaming and simulation for instructional purposes is developed in the introduction to this paper. The major portion of the text is comprised of several models of computer programs for economics instruction. (SHM)

TO DETERMINE WHAT EFFECTS A STUDENT TEACHER'S COURSE WORK HAS ON HIS ACTUAL CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR, 22 STUDENT TEACHERS WERE GIVEN 90 HOURS OF OBSERVATION AND BEHAVIOR TRAINING, WITH PARTICULAR EMPHASIS ON THE FLANDERS SYSTEM OF INTERACTION ANALYSIS. A CONTROL GROUP OF 22 STUDENTS WAS GIVEN TRAINING IN LEARNING THEORY. THE FLANDERS SYSTEM WAS USED TO…

Protosynthex III (PSIII) is a language processing system developed as an (as yet inadequate) experimental vehicle for testing student responses, with a view to constructing a model of an automated tutor. A version of the PLANIT system was modified so that a human tutor could be used to make instructional decisions in response to students'…

Volume 1 of two volumes on the use of computers in education, this annotated bibliography contains 338 unclassified references covering the period from July 1959 through June 1969. A computer search covers July 1953 through September 1969. Success in the use of computerized education and training systems is evaluated. Reports on programed…

Traditionally, the fundamental goal of all American education has been to provide students with adequate competencies in reading, writing, and mathematics. A year-long project, conducted at three high schools in Hardin County, Kentucky, provided for the development of a fourth basic: computer skills. Through this project, computer skills were…
