Defining prereading skills, discussing their discovery, and determining their value in reading readiness are the primary concerns of this paper. Prereading skills are defined by logical analysis of the reading task and by instructional conventions. From an analysis of initial reading tasks, prerequisite skills are identified. Those skills which…

Time-shared, Interactive, Computer-Controlled Information Television (TICCIT) is a computer-based system of instruction designed to provide low-cost, high-quality education that is completely individualized. Using inexpensive minicomputers, color television sets, and typewriter-like keyboards, TICCIT can serve as many as 128 students…

The purpose of this book is to help the preservice education student develop into a competent teacher of science at the elementary school level by experiencing a performance-based approach to teacher education. The book places emphasis on illustrating how performance objectives can play an important role in elementary science education as well as…

This is part of a series of 42 Calculus Based Physics (CBP) modules totaling about 1,000 pages. The modules include study guides, practice tests, and mastery tests for a full-year individualized course in calculus-based physics based on the Personalized System of Instruction (PSI). The units are not intended to be used without outside materials;…

This paper discusses the design of a physical education curriculum to be used in advanced secondary physical education programs and in university basic instructional programs; the design is based on the premise of mastery learning and employs programed instructional techniques. The effective implementation of a mastery learning model necessitates…

The basic structure of a writing laboratory at Purdue University, Indiana, is described in this paper. Physical facilities, record keeping plans, instructional approaches and materials, and evaluation methods are discussed. As a laboratory situation, the course was intended as a supplement to regular composition classes. Five graduate students and…

This document contains part one of a report of projects undertaken through the Hilroy Fellowship Program in Canada in 1970-71. The stated aim of the program is to encourage and reward classroom teachers who are developing new ideas for the improvement of teaching practices. The three projects reported in this document deal with mathematics and…

The research had four objectives: (1) to describe home-school-community relations in selected IGE schools; (2) to explain the home-school-community relations and the implementation of IGE political terms using issue analysis and policy acceptance analysis; (3) to generate hypotheses from the data gathered through objectives 1 and 2, and relate…

The purpose of this study was to determine whether individualized study, as compared to conventional classroom study, would effect significantly greater immediate and prolonged retention of both education and English content. Subjects for the experiment were 44 students enrolled in four sections of two language arts methods classes at Northeast…

The course approach reported in this document provides an alternative method of attaining the departmentally-accepted general course goals for basic speech communication. This approach begins with the identification of the student's core communication competencies which, divided into component concepts and subskills, are stated as behavioral…
