A discussion of the use of the computer in individualizing instruction focuses on the computer's role in instructional management and in instructional assistance. (DT)

Explains how computer-based instructional techniques are being used to individualize general chemistry instruction. After describing the computer equipment and language used, author describes simulated experiments and computer programmed drill exercises. Outlines fifteen topics programmed for instruction. Comparisons were made between experimental…

The program employed cassette tape recorders for problem solving, requirement of a high level of mastery (75 percent) and no final exams. Essentially all students were able to achieve the specified mastery level and retain that competence over an extended period of time, accompanied by more positive attitudes toward the course. (DF)

A new teaching aid, designed to monitor each freshman chemistry student's progress, to identify specific weaknesses and strengths in his grasp of course material, and to prescribe individual study assignments, is described. (DT)

This paper reports on a pilot study conducted to determine the effectiveness and utility of a computer-assisted drill program in mathematics with disadvantaged seventh graders. The instructional materials used were Suppes' drill and practice lessons. Twenty students were chosen to participate in the study for a two-month period. At the completion…

Examines the usage of computers in the science curriculum at present and the potential of computers for education. Bibliography. (LC)

This anthology of articles originally published between 1964 and 1969 has two sections: one describing methods of individualizing instruction in science and mathematics with some examples of successful practices, and the second containing seven papers, five dealing with the use of computers to individualize instruction, one with the impact of…

A brief description of the operation of Euclid (a theorem-proving computer program written by the author) is given and directions to be taken in its continuing development are indicated. (MN)

The Individualized Supplementary Calculus Instruction (ISCI) Program is a computer-based tutorial resource in use on several campuses and by large companies needing to train employees in calculus. Evaluation showed ISCI to be effective, especially with students who report little talent for mathematics. (SD)

This article describes a procedure for presenting routine practice problems on a programable calculator with attached teletype. The program uses a random number generator to write problems, gives feedback and assigns grades according to the procedures outlined (and flow-charted) by the author. (SD)

This is a report on the evaluative study of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in ESEA Title I mathematics projects in Kentucky compared to non-computerized programs under Title I. Results of remedial mathematics instruction for disadvantaged students in grades three through seven during the 1971-72 school year are compared. The report describes…

Describes a study in which engineering students were taught technical mathematics by either traditional lecture or self-paced, computer-assisted instruction. No overall significant difference in test scores was found, but for engineering technology majors, the treatment group scored higher. (MLH)
