National Advisory Commission on Libraries, Washington, DC. – 1967
Both an analysis of the sources of cost trends in libraries and the relationship of the prospective role of automation in library operations to the causes of cost trends and the predicted shortage of trained librarians are examined in the study of the economic structure of the library. Issues investigated are those particularly relating to current…

Peaker, Gilbert F. – 1975
This is one of nine volumes describing the results of extensive research carried out by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) over a seven-year period. The overall aim of this extensive empirical study is to relate student competence to instructional, economic, and social factors which account for…

Sherman, Susan W. – 1976
The multiple-choice science exercises used by the National Assessment of Educational Progress include an "I Don't Know" (IDK) alternative to estimate more accurately knowledge of groups of respondents. Group percentages of IDK responses were examined and compared with correct responses to see if the IDK introduces bias. Variance common…

Rentz, R. Robert; Bashaw, W. L. – 1975
In order to determine if Rasch Model procedures have any utility for equating pre-existing tests, this study reanalyzed the data from the equating phase of the Anchor Test Study which used a variety of equipercentile and linear model methods. The tests involved included seven reading test batteries, each having from one to three levels and two…

Cook, Alvin A., Jr. – 1971
A mathematical model was developed of military enlistment behavior based on the principle of occupational choice. A quality adjustment, applicable to all labor markets, was incorporated into the model in estimating the supply of volunteers. It was assumed that the greater the excess supply of volunteers, the greater the average quality of…

Zelmer, A. C. Lynn, Ed.; Zelmer, Amy M., Ed. – 1971
Eleven lectures on simulation and gaming delivered at a symposium in Western Canada are presented. Three articles concern ways of gaining knowledge about the effectiveness of the simulation method in teaching. Several articles describe the use of simulation in teaching specific areas: home economics education, agricultural engineering, and…

Urry, Vern W. – 1971
Bayesian estimation procedures are summarized and numerically illustrated by means of simulation methods. Procedures of data generation for simulation purposes are also delineated and computationally demonstrated. The logistic model basic to the Bayesian estimation procedures is shown to be explicit with respect to the probability distribution…

Stacey, Kaye – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Discusses some of the aspects of problem solving that teachers can observe for assessment purposes in a student's practical and written work. Suggests that these observations can be incorporated into a student's assessment traditionally or using alternative assessment devices. (PK)

Noonan, Richard; Wold, Herman – Evaluation in Education: An International Review Series, 1983
Tries to develop a method for empirical evaluations of the impact of a school system on measurable cognitive and affective outcomes in students. Concentrates on the Partial Least Squares (PLS) methodology, and illustrates the potential of PLS for system analysis. (BW)

Chatman, Steve – 2000
This study used the restricted access database of the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty to examine faculty workload by academic discipline for full-time regularly appointed teaching and research faculty in public Carnegie research I and II and Doctoral I and II institutions (n=2,056). Data are reported for 14 disciplinary areas…

School Science Review, 1980
Presents three different papers: (1) mathematical models and understanding in science; (2) attitude shaping in the training of science teachers (a role-playing strategy for laboratory safety and mini teaching as opposed to micro teaching); and (3) a technique in the analysis of technical writing to improve reading skills of students. (SK)

Leviton, Laura C., Ed.; And Others – New Directions for Program Evaluation, 1990
Seven essays on efforts of evaluate prevention programs aimed at the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are presented. Topics include public health psychology, mathematical models of epidemiology, estimates of incubation periods, ethnographic evaluations of AIDS prevention programs, an AIDS education model, theory-based evaluation, and…

Armstrong, Barbara E.; Larson, Carol Novillis – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1995
Types of strategies used by (n=36) fourth-, sixth-, and eighth-grade students solving comparison of area tasks were identified and classified. Most students used a direct comparison strategy to compare areas. Use of a part-whole strategy increased with the introduction of fractional terms and symbols. (23 references) (MKR)

Thompson, Frances M. – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Presents activities that use visual-geometric models to help students develop their understanding of exponents and division of powers with the same base. Presents opportunities for students to discover patterns for themselves and communicate these findings to others. (MDH)

Young, John W. – Journal of Research in Education, 1992
Uses the general linear model to develop an adjusted cumulative grade point average (GPA) that systematically models grading effects among courses. A validation study using 778 courses of 1,564 Stanford (California) University students shows an increase in predictability of the adjusted least-squares GPA over the unadjusted GPA. (SLD)
