Savage, Tom V.; Armstrong, David G. – Social Studies, 1983
Learning depends not only on how information is disseminated but on what learners do with the information once it becomes available to them. Procedures that teachers can use to help students identify processing frameworks (approaches to identifying and organizing information) for individual learning tasks are discussed. (RM)

Robinson, Michael – Instructional Science, 1979
Application of cybernetic laws and information processing principles suggests that traditional and modern teaching methods are radically incompatible, in the sense that techniques developed in the one cannot be transferred to the other without dislocation of the system as a whole. (Author/WBC)

de Jocas, Yves – European Journal of Engineering Education, 1987
Decisions assume some level of interdependency between knowledge and know-how, these being distinct realities. Knowledge refers to the understanding one has of a phenomenon while know-how refers to one's capability of actions on a phenomenon. Information can be related to decision only by transforming data which is held in a semiotic memory into…

Koenig, Michael E. D. – Library Journal, 1987
Describes three stages of the automation of information processing systems by combining the concept of the exponential growth of operational capabilities with three characteristics: computational capability, ability to store data, and ability to communicate data. The growth of fiberoptic technology is described as beginning the third stage. (EM)
