The world of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) involves a set o complex multi-role human/computer interactions. One important aspect of this interaction concerns the analysis of response data for scientific or instructional purposes. This paper describes the human/computer operational interactions that the personnel at the Florida State…

Project IMPACT (Instructional Model Prototypes Attainable in Computerized Training) is a comprehensive advanced development project designed to produce an effective and economical computer administered instruction (CAI) system for the Army. In this paper, the rationale for conceptualizing the instructional process in a form implementable by…

A study was conducted to determine the applicability of computer technology to the education and research activities of Air University. Twenty-five units of the University were studied in depth. The information thus collected provided the data required for analysis. Data analysis indicated the set of functional education and research activities…

A comprehensive article that discusses recent developments in the computer field, the use of computers in the classroom, and the development of a computer science curriculum for the secondary school. Costs of computers are discussed, and the need for qualified computer science teachers is stressed. Descriptions of computer science programs at…

EDUCATION HAS BEEN SLOW IN FULLY UTILIZING ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT (EDP). EDUCATOR CONFIDENCE IN THE EDP HAS GROWN, HOWEVER, AS A RESULT OF THE SUCCESS OF ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING IN SCIENCE, INDUSTRY, AND OTHER PROFESSIONS. THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOLID STATE TRANSISTORIZED COMPUTERS HAS MADE POWERFUL DESK-SIZE COMPUTERS A REALITY AND…

A field experiment is described on the use of computer-related instruction at the college level in political science. The program modules are designed to: (1) teach a substantive body of knowledge in an introductory American government course; (2) introduce students to the basic methods of data analysis; and (3) teach elementary techniques of…

Too often computer applications try to supplant rather than augment human capabilities. As a result, there is a gap between the power of the computer and some difficult administrative problems; e.g., longrange planning. However, there is increasing interest in the use of computer simulation in planning. PLANTRAN II represents a completely new…

It has been claimed that in the near future computers and their accompanying new technology will solve the outstanding problems of education. The authors believe that the problems of implementation, costs, and reliability may slow if not prevent the rapid assimilation of the new educational technology into the average school system. They also…

The data processing activities to support a multimedia course in leadership (see the final reports which summarize the course development project, EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484) are overviewed in this document. A first section describes the type of flexible systems approach used in conjunction with a comprehensive data base and data…

THE PAPER WAS PRESENTED AS PART OF THE AVIONICS PANEL PROGRAM ON NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL LOGIC PROCESSORS, SPONSORED BY THE ADVISORY GROUP FOR AERONAUTICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, NATO. SEVERAL CONCEPTUAL PROPOSITIONS IN REGARD TO MAN AND THE COMPUTER ARE OFFERED. THE NATURE OF TRAINING RESEARCH IS EXAMINED. THERE IS ALSO A BRIEF CATEGORIZATION…
