This career exploration instructional booklet on nursing as an occupation is one of several resulting from the rural southwestern Colorado CEPAC Project (Career Education Process of Attitude Change). Based on a job analysis and utilizing a programed instructional format, the following content is included: A brief description of what nursing is; 14…

Single-administration procedures for estimating the coefficient of agreement, a reliability index for criterion referenced tests, were recently developed by Subkoviak. The procedures require a distributional assumption for errors of measurement and an estimate of each examinee's true score. A computer simulation of tests composed of items that…

Subroutines which provide efficient access to a directly organized file by blocking and deblocking variable length bibliographic records are described. (Author)

A systematic procedure for developing more accurate estimates of college admission parameters was established. This system quantitatively encodes subjective logic used by decision-makers to combine historical data, statistically derived sample estimates from the current year, and subjective estimates of the decision-maker.

This paper considers the use of simulation to evoke citizen involvement in the design of low-cost public housing. Using this technique, citizens are able to express their preferences visually. The purposes, features, and outputs of this simulation are described, and the technique is compared with alternative strategies. (Author/MA)

Paper examines some of the problems and possibilities of interactive decision-making within the experimental context of an industrial problem production schedule. (Author)

This paper discusses, in general terms, when the use of computer based instructional simulation (CBIS) is appropriate, and offers suggestions on constructing an effective instructional simulation, placing a particular emphasis upon documentation. Two examples of simulation are given with descriptions of useful methods for evaluating CBIS.…

VARIOUS TYPES OF COMPUTERS, REPRODUCTION DEVICES, AND SIMULATORS FOR SCHOOLS WERE PICTURED IN THIS DOCUMENT. OTHER VOLUMES IN THIS SERIES ARE ED 003 738 THROUGH ED 003 746. (LP)

The methods, procedures, and results of a sensitivity test on NETMAN, a stochastic digital computer model designed to simulate the information collection and scoring control systems used in tactical warfare training exercises, are described. NETMAN enables its users to obtain information such as personnel requirements, training requirements, and…

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY IS TO DETERMINE IF THE FORMAT OF GAME THEORY IS APPLICABLE TO THE ANALYSIS OF COLLECTIVE NEGOTIATIONS IN EDUCATION AS EXHIBITED IN UCEA NEGOTIATIONS SIMULATION SITUATIONS. EIGHTY-FOUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, AND TEACHERS PARTICIPATED IN THE EXPERIMENT AT TWO WORKSHOPS AND ONE SEMINAR ON THE UNIVERSITY…

The simulated instructional materials are miscellaneous communications which might appear in a high school principal's "in-basket." The student is instructed to carry out whatever activity he perceives as indicated. The purpose of the materials is explained in "Instructor's Guide for Using Simulated Materials to Instruct School Administrators in…

An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of four information-format variables--instructions for processing information, number of documents, masking of information, and interview information--on the teacher selection decision process. It was hypothesized that the variables affect decisions by modifying the consistency of the decisions…

The document describes the 1972 version of the International Relations Exercise (IRE) used at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces (ICAF). During the IRE, supplementary information, described in section 2.0, is also provided to participants. This supplementary information is not released for publication. The IRE is an outgrowth of continued…
