This simulation project is valuable as a means of training and evaluation in counselor education and in studying counselor cognitive processes. It also provides an opportunity to test the sufficiency of an explicit set of theoretical constructs for explaining client behavior. (Author)

The purposes of this study were (1) to identify and compare the effect on student achievement of an individualized computer-managed geometry course, built on behavioral objectives, with traditional instructional methods; and (2) to identify how selected individual aptitudes interact with the two instructional modes. The subjects were…

Since veterinary medical schools describe their courses in terms of questions, statements, and objectives, a system is needed that permits rapid access to relevant courses or curriculum objectives. An ongoing computerized system is described. Data elements are listed and a worksheet is provided. (Author/MLW)

The purpose of this study was to determine if individualized instruction structured by a teaching model which utilized student selected objectives and an instructional guide produced by a computer would change student achievement in physics measured by two methods and affect positively the students' attitudes toward the course of physics.

A further development in the systematic development of individualized instructional materials coupled with the availability of interactive terminals linked to time-sharing computer systems (computer-managed instruction) is the implementation of a computer-assisted instructional design system. With existing computer technology, the common elements…

A study sought to develop and evaluate an instructional model which utilized the computer to produce individually prescribed instructional guides to account for the idiosyncratic variations among students in physics classes at the secondary school level. The students in the treatment groups were oriented toward the practices of selecting…

Discusses the differences between computer-assisted and computer-managed instruction (CMI), identifies the central themes running through CMI, presents a general definition of CMI, gives a functional overview of CMI, and develops definitions pertaining to CMI functions and systems. (Author/JL)

The educational applications of computers for instruction, administration, and vocational guidance are herein reviewed. Reports on recent trends in computer-assisted instruction and computer-managed instruction toward forming behavioral objectives and reducing learning time and implementation costs provide an introduction for a description of the…

This study, illustrating how branch programing is conceived within the framework of linguistic theory, gives some insights on programing language material, specifying terminal objectives, and identifying the behavior by which achievement is measured. The model program described is an audio and motion film program with the main terminal objective…
