A senior within a spatial science Ecological Planning capstone course designed an undergraduate research project to increase his spatial science expertise and to assess the hands-on instruction methodology employed within the Bachelor of Science in Spatial Science program at Stephen F Austin State University. The height of 30 building features…

This research was based upon the rationale that occupational information is an educational essential. The subjects were Occupational Work Experience (OWE) students who were randomly assigned to individual guidance from either a computerized occupational information systems, a counselor-based information system, or to a control group. The groups…

Goals, objectives, activities, and accomplishments of the guidance component of Project CAREER (Computer Assisted Research for Educational Relevance) are documented in the report. The purpose of the component was to develop a series of transportable models for enhancing career awareness, career exploration, and career-skill development at the…

Summaries of research performed by the Information Sciences Institute at the University of Southern California for the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency in 17 areas are provided in this report: (1) Common LISP framework, an exportable version of the Formalized Software Development (FSD) testbed; (2) Explainable Expert…

This paper describes a test which attempts to measure a group of personality traits by analyzing the actual behavior of the participant in a computer-simulated game. ECHO evolved from an extension and computerization of Horstein and Deutsch's allocation game. The computerized version of ECHO requires subjects to make decisions about the allocation…

The development of the Lincoln Terminal System (LTS) terminals is described. During the quarter, a decision was made to discontinue work on a cassette-based microfiche storage and retrieval system and to continue work on a carousel-based system. The center has continued its preparation of lessons for use with LTS. Application of LTS to the…

Decision theoretic testing was used to explore whether junior high students could improve their tendencies to make realistic assessments of what they knew. In nine sessions over a period of three weeks, 49 seventh graders used computer terminals to record probability values in the form of logarithmic equivalents for each alternative in a…

The purpose of this study was to develop a computerized program to assist students and their faculty advisors in the initial planning and the on-going evaluation of their academic course of study. The system was conceptualized as an interacting process which would compare the student's proposed academic program with a data bank of information…

Research on this National Science Foundation grant to study the application of modern communications technology to educational networking was divided into three parts: assessment of the role of technology in non-traditional post-secondary education; assessment of communications technologies and educational services of current or potential future…

The 1975-1976 year was the second year of a demonstration of the feasibility of a computerized retrieval system for providing occupational and educational information to students in City University of New York community colleges. Although first year results were encouraging in terms of counselor and staff reactions, the amount of computer use was…

This paper is part of an Air Force planning effort to develop a research, development, and applications program for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in three target areas: training, performance measurement, and job performance aiding. The paper is organized in five sections that (1) introduce the reader to AI and those subfields…

This report covers three time periods during which students in five New York City high schools had use of a Computer Assisted Guidance (CAG) system. The basic objectives of the CAG project were to demonstrate the feasibility of using an automated system to provide high school students with factual and current information on colleges and careers,…

High-performance computing refers to the use of advanced computing technologies to solve highly complex problems in the shortest possible time. The federal High Performance Computing and Communications Initiative of the Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) attempts to accelerate availability and use of high performance computers and networks.…

The accuracy and reliability of the student data base at the University of the District of Columbia were assessed. The data base, which is used by administrators for planning purposes, consists of the number of students enrolled in various course sections, the number of students enrolled in various departments by levels, and the principal fields…

A study determined computer research and exemplary project needs in home economics education, identified such projects, and analyzed the relationship of research and exemplary project needs to projects identified. The questionnaire instructed respondents to describe their perceptions of research needs and exemplary project needs related to…
