The present project was addressed to predicted success in a correspondence course. No specific hypotheses were formulated. Three schemes of analysis were conducted. The results are presented for each plan, and comparisons between the results are made. Further, recommendations for future studies are suggested. (Author)

This article is an attempt to assist professors of school administration in the planning of their instructional activities. Its purpose is to present a planning framework by which the type and level of learning desired can be matched with the most appropriate, feasible, and effective processes for attaining that learning. A model is presented for…

There currently exist four alternative ways of delivering or facilitating career education goals, including the school-based, employer-based, home community-based, and residential-based models. The school-based Comprehensive Career Education Model(CCEM) is being developed in six local school districts, and its current objective is to develop and…

It is now widely agreed that current ability measures reflect a complex interaction of environment with genetic potential. This leads to a basic measurement problem since persons with the same measured ability may vary widely in potential due to non-equivalent learning opportunities. The purpose of this paper is to present a model which may hold…

Information for the model contained in this paper was obtained through contacts and personal association with many educators and practitioners whose concern has been the need to provide information and experience to students about occupational and educational alternatives. Planned educational experiences that relate to occupations and that are…

As part of the Phase II report of the Illinois Occupational Curriculum Project, this document summarizes efforts made to: (1) gain a familiarity with the terminology and theory of systems modeling, (2) study the application of systems modeling in various management settings, and (3) identify factors to be considered in selecting and developing a…

The relationship between self-concept measures of deprived mothers and self-concept measures of their children is re-examined empirically. An accidental discovery was made correlating mothers' pre measures of self-concept to their childrens' post measures of self-concept. (CK)

A system for observing and coding verbal interchanges between the teacher and his pupils, at all instructional levels, is described in this study. The system, widely known as the Flanders System of Interaction Analysis, is reviewed in terms of its effect on the classroom behavior of teachers and on student attitudes. The application of the…

The evaluation design described in this paper discusses all significant aspects of program development and follow-through for culturally disadvantaged children. Discussed are educational objectives, instructional methods, implementation procedures, and outcomes. (CK)

The present study was undertaken to assess whether training that was known to produce transfer within the Cognition of Figural Relations (CFR) domain of Guilford's Structure-of-Intellect model would also produce transfer to other operations in Guilford's model. Fifty subjects, matched for pretest score on a double classification task, were…

Various simulations designed for adult learning experiences are described. A simulation is defined as "an operating model that displays processes over time and thus may develop dynamically." It is stated that this definition implies that the teacher can design a simulation that he can manage and then can increase its complexity. One simulation…

Affective education attempts to educate the emotions. Many available works describing affective techniques offer little guidance to teachers who wish to design their own learning experiences or to administrators and researchers who want to understand and analyze what's going on in affective education. This taxonomy not only describes some…

A MODEL FOR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT WITH DIFFERENTIALLY PACED SYSTEMS OF LEARNING WAS DESIGNED, IMPLEMENTED, AND EVALUATED. THE MODEL WAS BASED ON THE CURRENT STATE-OF-THE-ART AND PROVIDED DETAILED MECHANIZATION BY WHICH STUDENTS IN MASS TRAINING EFFORTS COULD PROCEED AT THEIR OPTIMAL, INDIVIDUAL RATES OF LEARNING TOWARD THE ATTAINMENT OF COURSE…

The major theme of Report Card 1 is enrollment projections. Reports in this section include: Barwick and Stafford's "Statewide Enrollment Projections for North Carolina, 1975-80"; Reiman's "Assumption-Based Model for Developing Institutional Enrollment Projections"; Rajasekhara's "Enrollment Projection," dealing with…

Drawing upon and synthesizing social and demographic data (1940-70) from 14 counties in the Rocky Mountain West which are currently facing extensive population growth as the result of large scale energy resource development, a preliminary model of potential sociocultural impact was developed. Including national energy needs and traditional…
