This paper presents 11 statistical procedures which test the equality of m coefficient alphas when the sample alpha coefficients are dependent. Several of the procedures are derived in detail, and numerical examples are given for two. (Author/LMO)

Argues that a framework is needed for computer-assisted language learning (CALL) which would provide criteria for decisions about priorities and emphases. A comparison of two different types of CALL programs is made for the insights they may offer into developmental principles. (SED)

Examines how an economic concept changed when 68 third-grade Italian children underwent different kinds of experiences simulated by means of tutorial and critical training. (HOD)

Promotes the use of computer modelling in physics instruction. Describes Dynamic Modelling System (DMS) and the procedures employed in applying it to problem solving in physics. Provides fundamental information on BASIC language and techniques for using DMS. (ML)

Links forecasting and planning with policymaking in social and societal systems and presents a planning and forecasting methods taxonomy which combines with policymaking and interactive simulation as an inquiry method for planning. A case study of university manpower development illustrating interactive simulation/gaming and its potentials for…

Two simulation games, for improving decision-making skills and enhancing leadership, intended for college faculty but adaptable for high school principals, are outlined. (MSE)

Surveys various types of science-oriented computer software, including simulations, tutorials, drill and practice programs, statistical programs, and computer-monitored experiments. Includes a list of 14 programs (indicating program name, source, RAM needed, compatible computers, and current cost) representative of these software types. (JN)

Offers a brief history of humanistic and transpersonal psychology development; includes a brief description of educational goals advocated by these movements, particularly in reference to teacher role; and presents specific examples of how computers make it possible for teachers to satisfy role expectations placed upon them in student-centered…

Argues that the computer will make a major difference because it places within one total environment that teaches (the school) another total environment that teaches (the computer). A hopeful sign is the growing number of educational computer programs that use the computer effectively as a mind-tool rather than an instructional medium. (BBM)

Gynecologic teaching associates taught third-year medical students to perform physical examination of the female pelvis and breasts. Evaluations by the students of this teaching method and assessment by the teaching associates of student problems were obtained from questionnaires. (Author/MLW)

A computer-based simulation model for anticipating the need for college facilities and generating and assessing alternative plans is illustrated with the campus plan for a new community college. (MSE)

Describes a study of secondary school children's perceptions of educational games and simulations to determine correlations between individual personality dimensions (psychoticism, extraversion, neuroticism) and pupils' perceptions of enjoyment and learning. Data were also grouped into personality clusters which were compared with data on…

Explores roles of computer technology and real world experiences in the learning process. Encourages teaching of critical viewing skills and other aspects of visual fluency. Forecasts changes in the educational system to accommodate emerging technologies and new ways of thinking and interacting with the world. (LFL)

A South Carolina high school band director describes his experience with the Springfield Simulation, a role-playing seminar/workshop where individuals are assigned roles and situations that will aid them in developing administrative skills. (TE)

A migrant education resource teacher from California describes the personal and professional benefits she obtained from her participation in the Springfield project, a role-playing seminar/workshop for administrators. (TE)
