The author advocates teaching computer programming at the junior and senior year levels of high school. (AG)

This study tested Hershenson's hypthesis that different vocational counseling methods would be differentially effective for clients at different levels of readiness. Findings suggest that individual counseling be emphasized with low readiness clients when both options are available. (Author)

A major problem in most predictions of school enrollment is the forecaster's failure to express adequately his certainty or uncertainty in his estimates. Describes a method whereby a forecaster can prepare probability distributions of enrollment predictions. The Monte Carlo computer simulation calculates enrollments by the multivariable method,…

The user indicated several changes in library use habits as a result of the computer-based searches, among them more direct access to the primary literature and increased use of library resources as they had been made aware of new sources and media--e.g., microforms. (2 references) (Author/NH)

A transformational model offers a way to eliminate the middleman (programmer) in acccessing a computerized data base. It provides a basis for the algorithms which analyze the input query. The linguistic analysis of the sentence string is translated into system terms and the required operations are carried out. (28 references) (Author/NH)

Computerization seems to offer some solutions to the inadequacies of the card catalog. However, vocabulary obstacles must be overcome before the history, art history, and art students alike can enter libraries all over the world and quickly satisfy their various needs. (10 references) (Author/NH)

Describes systems management, the coordination of information flows among the functional areas of business as an aid in the decision-making process. (Author)

Short descriptions of NSF support for the State University of New York computer network, one year trial of educational materials from the United Kingdom's Open University, A Dartmouth course on control of life, Stanford action on a course on dysgenics, and a bioengineering program at Texas A&M. (TS)

A report on the development and use of a course developed by the Center for Research in College Instruction of Science and Mathematics (CRICISAM) at Florida State University. (MM)

Described is a computerized program which includes the following features: (1) a vocational program which helps a student evaluate his ability and suggests possible work areas; (2) an educational program which helps students plan course of study; and (3) a remedial program which corrects defects in student's previous training. (Author/CJ)

A specialized computer network provides instant access to information on grants in force on the 22 campuses of the State University of New York. (KJ)

Discusses chemometrics (analysis of data from chemical measurements), tracing developments in this area and summarizing reasons for teaching chemometrics. Includes highlights of presentations given at a symposium (Interpreting Complex Chemical Data: Teaching Chemometrics) and brief descriptions of chemometric methods. (JN)

Surveyed physiology teaching methods and compared results to 1969 and 1973 surveys. Respondents (107/139 physiology department chairpersons) indicated decrease in but continued use of laboratory exercises and a trend toward problem-solving sets, audiovisual aids, computer simulation, and computer assisted instruction. Data are provided for these…

Discusses contributions of computers to research in magnetic and inertial-confinement fusion, charged-particle-beam propogation, and space sciences. Considers use in design/control of laboratory and spacecraft experiments and in data acquisition; and reviews major plasma computational methods and some of the important physics problems they…
