A MODEL OF THE MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT AT THE GARBER HIGH SCHOOL AS ESSEXVILLE, MICHIGAN, AS A SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING STUDENTS WAS DESCRIBED IN THE LAST OF A SERIES OF THREE REPORTS. THE RESULTS OBTAINED THROUGH SIMULATING THE SYSTEM ON A COMPUTER WERE ALSO REPORTED. A FEATURE OF THE PLAN WAS NOTED TO BE ITS FLEXIBILITY IN PROVIDING A UNIQUE PROGRAM…

A DESCRIPTION WAS PRESENTED OF A SIMULATION VEHICLE THAT WAS BEING DEVELOPED TO PERMIT MODELING ANY SCHOOL CONFIGUATION. THE MODEL WAS CONSIDERED AS HAVING TWO MAJOR PARTS--(1) THE ACTIVITY PROCESSOR AND (2) THE RESOURCE ALLOCATION PROCESSOR. THE ADDITION OF THE RESOURCE ALLOCATION PROCESSOR TO THE PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED SIMULATION VEHICLE PROVIDES…

A COMPUTER PROGRAMED GENERAL SCHOOL SIMULATOR IS DESCRIBED AND RULES ARE GIVEN FOR A COMPUTER TRYOUT OF THE PILOT VERSION. ALTHOUGH THE MODEL WAS DESIGNED AS A GENERAL VEHICLE THAT WOULD PERMIT COMPUTER MODELING OF ANY SCHOOL CONFIGURATION, THE FIRST PILOT VERSION REPRESENTS A HYPOTHETICAL SCHOOL OPERATING UNDER THE "CONTINUOUS PROGRESS…

A PROJECT WAS DESCRIBED THAT WOULD USE SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER SIMULATION TECHNIQUES TO FIND NEW WAYS TO IMPLEMENT INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA. THE FOUR MAJOR STEPS TO BE TAKEN FOR THIS STUDY ARE--(1) SURVEY AND SELECTION OF HIGH SCHOOLS, (2) SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF THE FIVE HIGH SCHOOLS SELECTED FOR STUDY, (3) CONSTRUCTION OF A COMPUTER-SIMULATION…

THE PLANS FOR A SIMULATION MODEL USING SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER SIMULATION TECHNIQUES WERE PRESENTED. THE TECHNIQUES AND DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS WERE INTENDED TO FIND NEW METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA. FOUR MAJOR STEPS WERE INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT--(1) SURVEY AND SELECTION OF HIGH SCHOOLS, (2) SYSTEMS ANALYSIS OF FIVE HIGH…
