This synthesis of reports from authors representing seven different countries discusses computerization as it applies to the management and evaluation of the educational process at all levels in developed countries. Focusing on the computerization of educational administration, the first of three sections of the paper suggests that advantages of computerization would include speedier compilation of more reliable and detailed statistics for decision making and for forecasting at the national and regional levels, and the saving of time for administrators through the automation of various tasks and school activities at the building level. The major problem cited is the divergent point of view between teachers and civil servants as to the management of educational systems. The second section considers the benefits of computerized management of educational processes, e.g., organizing timetables, scheduling students into elective courses, management of students' grades, relations with students' parents, the control of book loans to students, and management of the teaching process as such (computer-managed instruction, or CMI). The focus of the final section is computer-assisted instruction (CAI), which is discussed in the following contexts: the development of various teaching methods; policies in developed countries for the implementation of CAI and problems which prevent its extended use; and the state of the art in hardware, programming, and teacher training. The seven authors and the topics of their studies are listed in the introduction. (BBM)
