Research performed pursuant to a U.S. Office of Education contract, OEC--3-16-043.

Discusses three trends in remedial instruction that merit the attention of clinicians and teachers including: individualized instruction based on individualized diagnosis, effective teacher questioning during prereading activities to establish purpose, and interactive computer assisted instruction which provides immediate feedback. (RS)

Examines the relative merits of using computer networks (several computers linked together and sharing a single disk drive) and stand-alone systems (self-contained units operating independently) in Australian primary school classrooms. Advances several arguments favoring stand-alone systems, which improve accessibility and enhance individual…

PLAN is a computer-managed individualized learning program with two major goals: to provide each child with an individualized program of studies in the language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies and to involve students in making decisions and assuming responsibility for their own learning. A computer assists the teacher by scoring and…

A teacher discusses how computers can be used in the classroom to increase individualization, motivation, and creativity. (DF)

Suggests ways to use microcomputers to teach reading skills to students with learning disabilities. Discusses the operation of microcomputers, learner-centered software, and current research. Concludes that using microcomputers to remediate reading difficulties has great potential, provided the needs of the individual student are met. (RS)

A study was made to determine the feasibility, infeasibility, or deferred feasibility of adapting a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) system to an existing non-automated program for providing keyboard experiences to elementary school children. A systematic task-by-task approach was adopted for the study: learning objectives were assessed, the…

Described are the uses a computer is being put to by an elementary school in Illinois. (LS)

In individualized instruction, the amount of recordkeeping which must be done can be best handled by computer. In this paper, the logistics of recordkeeping in elementary education is explored through a systems approach. A model is proposed which can be used manually to keep track of progress in various skills. The model can easily be adapted to…

Describes the success of an innercity Chicago school's computer program. The intensive computer-based curriculum has increased student's test scores at every level. Both the administrators and teachers are enthusiastic about the program's achievements. (MD)

Discusses the use of Computer Assisted Instruction as the key factor in teaching reading successfully. (Author/SB)

Discusses a study (of computer assisted instruction) which utilizes test instruments and other techniques commonly used in schools to facilitate teachers' understanding of the procedures and results of the research. (RD)

This study summarizes recent achievements in the expanding development of man/machine communications and reviews current technological hurdles associated with the development of artificial intelligence systems which can generate and recognize human speech patterns. With the development of such systems, one potential application would be the…
