A Computerized Instructional Program for the Child Care Industry. Final Report. July 1983-June 1984.
San Antonio Coll., TX.
A research project was conducted to develop an advanced child care administration course teaching microcomputer utilization for child care administrators. After a technical advisory committee generated and prioritized a list of tasks typically performed by child care administrators, a tentative course overview was developed. Eighteen of the 24 child care administrators who expressed an interest in taking the course were selected to receive training on the use of word processing, file management, electronic spread sheets, and accounting as these apply to administration of child care programs using a microcomputer. The 15 individuals who completed the pilot course were quite satisfied with the course in general as well as with the course instructor and the materials covered in class. (Appendixes to this report, which comprise 75 percent of the document, include a project time line, a list of administrative tasks for a child care facility, results of advisory committee brainstorming, the questionnaire designed to prioritize the tasks involved in administering a child care program, a course publicity brochure, a course interview form, tentative and revised course outlines, weekly class evaluations, and an outline for the project-developed resource guides for students and instructors.)
