A PROJECT WAS DESCRIBED THAT WOULD USE SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER SIMULATION TECHNIQUES TO FIND NEW WAYS TO IMPLEMENT INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA. THE FOUR MAJOR STEPS TO BE TAKEN FOR THIS STUDY ARE--(1) SURVEY AND SELECTION OF HIGH SCHOOLS, (2) SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF THE FIVE HIGH SCHOOLS SELECTED FOR STUDY, (3) CONSTRUCTION OF A COMPUTER-SIMULATION…

A COMPUTER SIMULATION OF A CONTINUOUS PROGRESS SCHOOL THAT PERMITS STUDENTS TO SCHEDULE THEMSELVES FOR COURSE WORK ON AN AUTONOMOUS BASIS WAS CONSTRUCTED AND TESTED. THE SYSTEM WAS SET UP TO FREE THE STUDENT FROM THE DISADVANTAGES OF TRADITIONAL PROGRESSION BY ALLOWING HIM TO WORK IN OTHER COURSES WHILE WAITING FOR TEACHING ASSISTANCE IN ANOTHER.…

THE DESIGN OF A SURVEILLANCE AND DETECTION SYSTEM WAS PRESENTED FOR APPLICATION TO THE CONTINUOUS PROGRESS SCHOOL, DEVELOPED BY DR. EDWIN READ OF BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SYSTEM, PART OF AN INFORMATION PROCESSING CENTER, WAS (1) TO MONITOR AND SURVEY THE STUDY ACTIVITIES OF STUDENTS, (2) TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF REAL AND…

THE APPLICATION OF SYSTEM ANALYSIS TO EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS OF A CONTINUOUS PROGRESS PLAN HIGH SCHOOL WAS DESCRIBED. THIS SCHOOL SCHOOL PLAN INVOLVED A RADICAL DEPARTURE FROM THE TRADITIONAL CURRICULUM AND AN EXTENSIVE USE OF NEW MEDIA. ALTHOUGH NO FULLY IMPLEMENTED CONTINUOUS PROGRESS SCHOOL EXISTED AT THE TIME OF OF THIS REPORT, THE BRIGHAM YOUNG…

THE INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS CENTER (IMC) OF THE CONTINUOUS PROGRESS SCHOOL WAS DESCRIBED. THE CONTINUOUS PROGRESS SCHOOL PLAN WAS DEVISED BY DR. EDWIN READ AND WAS BEING DEVELOPED AT THE LABORATORY SCHOOL OF BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY. THIS REPORT DESCRIBED HOW AN IMC MIGHT OPERATE RATHER THAN HOW ONE IS OPERATING OR IS PLANNED TO OPERATE. AS…
