The purpose of this study was to develop the schema and methodology for the construction of a computerized mathematical model designed to project college and university enrollments in New York State and to meet the future increased demands of higher education planners. This preliminary report describes the main structure of the proposed computer…

An account is presented of the development of a job performance test for the Learner Centered Instruction (LCI) weapon control systems mechanic/technician Air Force course. The performance test was administered to the LCI experimental course subjects as well as the control course subjects upon graduation. Test items are, for the most part, based…

The report of the Fourth Biennial Management Instructors' Seminar (July 21-26, 1968) which deals with the improvement of management education in the Army, contains presentations of guest speakers and reports of seminar workshops. The former presents the components of management -- planning, decision-making, productivity, communication, and…

This monograph is designed to provide technical materials for counselor trainees. Its purpose is to help fill the void of published technical accounts. The papers included are very personalized and void of research documentation. The format was directed at allowing professional counselor educators to share their own technical ideas. Included in…

Phase 1 has been completed of a five-phase project to develop a model of teacher role behavior in individualized classrooms, to develop teacher training courses (including workshops) for behaviors specified by the role model, and to train teachers (inservice and/or preservice) to fulfill the role provided by the model. The classroom management…

Intended as a method of increasing children's learning from commercial television by providing supplementary educational commentary on a simultaneous radio broadcast, this study was designed to explore the potential of dual audio instruction as a mass educational system by determining the medium's practicality, the rate of voluntary usage, the…

The materials in this booklet began as a script for a tape/slide progress report on Project Simu School, to be used in presentations to various groups who have had an interest in the project. The project was developed to create and implement a system to piece together and communicate educational knowledge to enable educators to improve their…

All 59 documents published by the Educational Resources Information Center on Educational Media and Technology (ERIC/EM) are abstracted in this document. The abstracts are the same as those which appeared in Research in Education (RIE), ERIC's monthly catalog. They are arranged alphabetically by author. With only two exceptions (journal articles…

The Simu-School Program and the National Center for Educational Planning were conceived because of the need for (1) expertise in educational planning, (2) a system to collect and assemble the vast amount of knowledge concerning education, (3) community involvement in planning, and (4) a system to accurately interpret today's data in planning for…

The feasibility of using a particular simulation as (1) an aid in management, (2) a management training device, (3) a tool for management research is reported. Corresponding interfaces for the simulation are described and discussed in terms of the way they represent the activity for the user. Estimated costs are reported for alternative…

The task is to carry out the final development of a computer-based system for automated instruction of the new speech sounds of second languages, and to field-test this system for two language pairs: English speakers learning Mandarin Chinese, and Spanish speakers learning English. This report describes the first evaluation experiment of the Mark…

An investigation was carried out to determine the feasibility and relative cost of developing pictorial procedures that could be used in conjunction with the Lincoln Training System (LTS) for task simulation in the support of performance laboratory instruction. Results showed that the technique was economical and effective. The storage and data…

An environmental simulation laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, is testing the adequacy of different techniques for simulating environmental experiences. Various levels of realism, with various costs, are available in different presentation modes. The simulations can aid in communication about and the resolution of environmental…

This manual reviews thirty projects selected by the Oregon Educational Coordinating Council (ECC) as exemplary in method, operation, and development. The projects are organized into 9 broad classifications: large group-small group alternatives, autotutorial programmed instruction, process centered, computer and simulation, on-site/field study,…

Personnel Simulation (PERSIM), a computerized model developed to trace the flow of faculty through the processes of entry into, engagement within, and withdrawal from an education agency, is described. Major topics discussed include: 1) PERSIM's capabilities; 2) the development of a data base for the model; 3) the integration of PERSIM's…
