Mumford, Michael D.; And Others – 1987
A multivariate modeling approach was developed to assess the impact of changes in aptitude requirement minimums on U.S. Air Force technical training outcomes. Initially, interviews were conducted with technical training personnel to identify significant student inputs, course content, and training outcome variables. Measures of these variables…

Mecca, Thomas V.; Adams, Charles F. – 1985
Policy Analysis and Simulation System (PASS) is an interactive microcomputer model that can be used by educational administrators, policy-makers, and planners to simulate and forecast, under conditions of environmental uncertainty, the impact of strategic policies on the projected trends and goals of educational performance. PASS generates…

Perlman, Carole L. – 1982
The value-added model is presented as a method of assessing the impact of treatments in pretest-posttest quasi-experimental designs. The model yields a projection of treatment group performance at posttest time with no special treatment. The difference between the expected result and the actual outcome is "the value added," a measure of…

Prussing, John E. – 1980
This document looks at specific applications of calculus to engineering. It is noted that for an automobile traveling at constant speed, the mathematical relationship between the directional heading and the angular deflection of the steering wheel can be calculated with respect to time. An analysis is presented which derives the relationship from…

Wongbundhit, Yuwadee – 1984
Two approaches for conceptualizing and estimating a contextual model for analyzing student achievement are the separate equation approach and the single equation approach. The separate equation method determines the relationship between the individual-level independent variable and the individual-level dependent variable within each group. It then…

Lundy, Harold W. – 1984
The development of a planning/budgeting model as an integral component of a decision support system is described. The case study approach is used to describe how Grambling State University (GSU) developed the model to improve its financial planning and budgeting processes. The model can be used for tactical and/or strategic planning. The model is…

Washington State Board for Community Coll. Education, Olympia. – 1978
Computerized formula-driven budget models are used by the Washington community college system to define resource needs for legislative budget requests and to distribute legislative appropriations among 22 community college districts. This manual outlines the sources of information needed to operate the model and illustrates the principles on which…

Fishbein, Ronald L. – 1978
Intended primarily for local education agency evaluators and state education policy makers, this paper explores several technical and policy issues related to the use of non-normed tests in the Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I Evaluation and Reporting System (TIERS). The technical issues discussed were: (1) the assumption, necessary…

Brennan, Robert L. – 1979
Using the basic principles of generalizability theory, a psychometric model for domain-referenced interpretations is proposed, discussed, and illustrated. This approach, assuming an analysis of variance or linear model, is applicable to numerous data collection designs, including the traditional persons-crossed-with-items design, which is treated…

Cliff, Norman; And Others – 1978
The research from a four-year project of implied orders tailored testing is summarized. The method of implied orders testing combines the principles of ordinal measurement with the concept of the Guttman scale as an ideal. The basic principle for dichotomous items is that either an item is missed and "dominates" a person or it is answered…

Dulaney-Sorochak, Jeanne – 1978
The Education Amendments of 1976 require that any educational institution must be able to report the full cost of attending that institution to any student who requests the information. This report outlines guidelines for estimating the cost to the student attending Macomb County Community College. Tuition and living expenses, with required fees…

Hansen, Joe B., Comp. – 1978
This report documents the activities of the technical committee formed to examine issues related to the norm-referenced model (RMC Model A) for evaluation of Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I programs. Background information is provided on the committee's activities, purpose, and meetings; and the members are listed. The reports of…

Morgan, George – 1979
This study developed a two-parameter linear probabilistic model of criterion referenced measurement, which relates an examinee's observed ability to his true ability through a guessing parameter and a carelessness parameter, both of which are probabilities. This model was applied to a survey of 10- and 14-year-old Australian students to estimate…

Deck, Dennis D. – 1980
The feasibility of constructing composite scores which will yield pretest measures having all the properties required by the special regression model is explored as an alternative to the single pretest score usually used in student selection for Elementary Secondary Education Act Title I compensatory education programs. Reading data, including…

Macek, Victor C. – 1973
The nine Reactor Statics Modules are designed to introduce students to the use of numerical methods and digital computers for calculation of neutron flux distributions in space and energy which are needed to calculate criticality, power distribution, and fuel burnup for both slow neutron and fast neutron fission reactors. The last module, RS-9,…
