After scrutinizing all available published and unpublished reports of research in this series for…

Coding systems need to be developed to account for computer decisions on every frame of a self-instructional program. In flow charts of the UICSM high school math programed series, each frame or page is represented by a diagramatic convention: diamond if a mainline frame, a rectangle if a quiz frame, a bottom-heavy trapezoid if a review or…

In planning the development of the system for computer assisted assembly of tests, it was agreed at the outset that one of the basic requirements for the successful initiation of any such system would be the development of a detailed item content classification system. The design of the system for classifying item content is a key element in…

This paper documents a coding system developed to facilitate the investigation of linguistic variation in Black English. The rationale for employment of such a system is given. The use of the coding system in a study of child Black English is described and the codes for 41 phonological and syntactic variables investigated in the study are…

The papers presented at a symposium on geocoding describe the preparation of a geocoded data file, some basic applications for education planning, and its use in trend analysis to produce contour maps for any desired characteristic. Geocoding data involves locating each entity, such as students or schools, in terms of grid coordinates on a…

Four free-recall experiments are reported that investigate the relationship between the organization of rehearsal and the organization of recall. (Editor)
