Harmon, Paul – Performance and Instruction, 1984
Considers three powerful techniques--heuristics, context trees, and search via backward chaining--that a knowledge engineer might employ to develop an expert system to automate performance engineering, i.e., the branch of instructional technology that focuses on the problems of business and industry. (MBR)

Rosenberg, Marc J. – Performance and Instruction, 1981
The Bell System Center for Technical Education uses a program which trains the subject matter expert (SME) in instructional technology (IT) and the instructional technologist in subject matter understanding. This cross-training is provided in order to encourage effective teamwork between development personnel. (MER)

Hutchison, Cathleen – Performance and Instruction, 1989
Discusses a shift in career paths from instructional technology to performance technology and describes steps to take to become more aware of the performance technology process. Differences in the design phase of the processes are described, and models that identify areas which can be affected by human performance problems are presented. (LRW)

Titus, Amy – Performance and Instruction, 1984
Introduces a new department within the National Society for Performance and Instruction which will examine applications of performance technologies in the nonindustrialized areas of the world, including different subject areas and techniques. Reports on the experiences of different performance technologists will be presented each month. (MBR)

Davies, Ivor K. – Performance and Instruction, 1981
Challenges the tendency of instructional developers to dwell upon systematic processes of Instructional Development (ID) and argues that ID is more an art in which the end results must be worthwhile, relevant, and capable of justification. Sixteen references are listed. (MER)

Thiagarajan, Sivasailam; Thiagarajan, Raja – Performance and Instruction, 1990
Describes steps involved in preparing hierarchical charts for use in performance and instructional technologies. Thirteen examples are shown that deal with systematic instructional development, and guidelines for choosing the appropriate format are discussed, including content, audience, and resources. Evaluation procedures involving paired…

Hutchison, Cathleen – Performance and Instruction, 1990
Describes a process model that can be used for performance technology and discusses differences between it and an instructional technology process model. Five basic steps are examined: needs assessment/analysis; design; development; implementation; and evaluation. An instructional technology/performance technology process comparison matrix is also…

Owens, Elizabeth – Performance and Instruction, 1990
Presents seven principles for applying technology to training and development problems. Based on General Systems Theory (GST), these principles were developed to help with long-term decisions. Highlights include instructional systems development models; complexity in cultural systems; matching training materials to user characteristics; systems…

Benton, Sharon K. – Performance and Instruction, 1985
Discusses effective writing techniques to be utilized by technical writers who develop training materials (initial drafts, creating interest, applying instructional technology techniques, use of illustrations, and publication layout tips). A checklist of factors to consider when editing material is also presented. (MBR)
