Geis, George L. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1984
Discussion of checklists and their variations--job aids, algorithms, heuristics, and decision tables--covers what they are, how they are generated, and some implications of checklisting for instruction, evaluation, and learning. Examples of various kinds of checklists and 11 references are provided. (MBR)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Check Lists, Criteria, Curriculum Development
Mitchell, M. C., Jr. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1980
Examines notion of algorithms and describes variety of roles they take in educational endeavors. Problems in their development and application are explored, and implications for future use and research are presented. References are included. (BK)

Misanchuk, Earl R. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1985
This personal reaction to Cummings'"Comparison of Three Algorithms for Analyzing Questionnaire-Type Needs Assessment Data to Establish Need Priorities" specifically questions Cummings' use of the Mean Difference Analysis for comparison with Weighted Needs Index, and his focus on characteristics of the statistic that are of secondary…

Terrell, William R. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1983
Discusses the role of algorithmic processes as a supplementary method for producing cost-effective and efficient instructional materials. Examines three approaches to problem solving in the context of developing training materials for the Naval Training Command: application of algorithms, quasi-algorithms, and heuristics. (EAO)

Cummings, Oliver W. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1985
This study of training needs utilized a questionnaire to assess participant's opinions of knowledge level that should exist and knowledge level that does exist in 25 content areas and analyzed the resultant data using three different approaches: mean difference analysis, multicomponent data analysis, and weighted need index. (MBR)

Jonassen, David H.; Hannum, Wallace H. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1986
Describes functions comprising task analysis process--inventory, description, selection, sequencing, and analysis--and reviews distinctions between the micro/macro level, top-down/bottom-up, and job/learning task analysis processes. These functions and distinctions are combined into a quasi-algorithm suggesting which of 30 task analysis procedures…

Allen, Brockenbrough S.; Erickson, Debra M. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1986
Describes a model for training instructional designers who will work as members of videodisc development teams. This model develops and integrates competencies relating to instructional design, project management, interpersonal skills, storyboarding and flowcharting, programming, video production, and interactive video system knowledge. Three…
