When one discusses the dissemination of the educational aims and tasks on a theoretical, as well as a methodological, level, it is important to highlight that pedagogy, being the science of education that it is, finds solutions in differing directions. One is theoretical, and the other is the realization of the sum of the demands of working in the…

Fifty-two college students, enrolled in an introductory psychology course, served as subjects for this study, the purposes of which were: (1) to determine whether supplying subjects with a list of behavioral objectives causes them to focus their learning efforts on the specified behaviors to the extent that attention to non-specified behaviors is…

The author argues that when behavioral objectives are properly used they can provide direction for learning, and that they need not be restrictive. (SD)

In every way that matters, advising is a form of teaching. Using Bloom's (1956) taxonomy of educational outcomes, I explain how to develop learning objectives within advising contexts. The article also suggests commonly available educational materials, such as university catalogs, as content delivery mechanisms for students; in addition, it offers…

The Florida Title III Consortium was funded by the Office of Education to initiate a training and research project for the "Preparation, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Learner Centered Humanistic Approach to Curriculum and Instruction. This paper presents the highlights of this approach, including: (1) the involvement of the governing board…

The author argues that many who speak to the issues of elementary-school mathematics are not aware of the real problems. The clear objective of the teacher of young children is to provide them with experiences which will enhance their development. (SD)

Activities related to the skill category "clock time" are given. For each objective, three levels of activities are given: primary, elementary-middle, and secondary. Enrichment activities are also provided. (MP)

Five sequential objectives of metric education are listed, and suggestions for teaching the metric system in the elementary school and in fifteen disciplinary areas in the secondary schools are offered. (SD)

The contents of this guide have been organized under five major topics: (1) number and operations; (2) sets, functions, relations, systems, and logic; (3) geometry; (4) measurement and estimation; and (5) selected topics. A scope-and-sequence chart is given for each of the topics for grades K-8. Behavioral objectives, teaching aids, and…

Outlines the academic premises made in traditional engineering education in comparison with the educational objectives of practice-directed curricula. Suggests that the practice-audit-study learning mode should be adopted in place of the lecture-homework-exam-grade system. (CC)

College students studied text about an imaginary solar system. Two cuing systems were manipulated to induce a single or double set of cues consistent with one or two sets of text propositions, or no target propositions were specified. Cuing systems guided construction and implementation of prose-processing decision criteria. (Author/RD)

For each behavior that is to be learned, activities are given for primary, elementary-middle, and secondary levels. Behaviors are categorized by level and are graded, with the easier tasks appearing first. (MP)

This activity booklet contains activities related to the skill category of linear measurement. For each behavior that is to be learned, activities are given for primary, elementary-middle, and secondary levels. Behaviors are categorized by level and are graded, with the easier tasks appearing first. (MP)

This book is the second in a three-volume set prepared to assist elementary-school teachers in the improvement of mathematics instruction. Each volume begins with a scope-and-sequence chart which assigns topics to seven levels. In later sections at least one objective is defined for each topic, and a series of activities related to objectives is…

The purpose of the analysis was to provide a profile of instructional activities related to content and referenced to specified instructional outcome areas. Emphasis was placed on determination of four major factors: (1) major outcomes in the program and their relative emphasis in both regular and supplementary instructional materials, (2) the…
