[Compulearn Career Education Program: Student Guides, Educator Guides, Bibliographies and Career Index, Data Sheets, Career Computer, and Program Cards.]
Compulearn, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA.
The Compulearn system was developed for use in general education, special training, and business and industry to provide individualized instruction for all age groups in a wide range of career areas and occupational fields. The system apparatus consists of a battery-operated "console" box with two plugs, one for questions and one for answers, and a set of plastic program cards for each career concept. To use the system, a program card is selected and placed on the face of the box and the plugs are inserted into the chosen outlets. If the selected answer to the selected question is correct, immediate reinforcement is provided by a light next to the answer. If no light appears, another answer may be probed or a button pushed to get the answer. In addition to these pieces, the system includes booklets for students and teachers at the elementary, middle, and secondary levels which tell how to operate the program or "play the game" with each card. Another booklet contains a bibliography of books and pamphlets on occupations and careers, with places to write for materials. A listing of career titles and corresponding grade levels is also furnished. A larger booklet of data sheets for various occupations and an information folder complete the package. (MF)
