A program utilizing computer managed instruction. (MM)

Audiotutorial instruction is one application of instruction tailored to individual needs. This method imposes certain requirements for instruction to be effective and for students to be properly motivated to learn. Some of the key requirements are: (1) individual control of the program material, (2) convenience of materials acquisition by the…

A computer-based resource unit in health and physical education would enable health and physical educators to share the benefits of each other's work. (RC)

Describes both the advantages and disadvantages of having a classroom computer. Diagnostic and prescriptive uses and some computer-system drawbacks are detailed. (BD)

Micro theory can be used to reveal aspects of individualization that should be controlled in computer-assisted instruction (CAI) curriculum. Global theory is useful in evaluating educational projects as long as the individuals involved are similar in characteristics. (JN)

Outlines the development of a complex learning management system, which made individualized instruction programs easier and more economical to implement. (Author/RK)

An instructional management program was developed to assist students in selecting learning activities. The program was based on a general model for specifying hierarchical curriculum structure. This model was developed using the directed graph, a mathematical form of a structural model. A hierarchy could then be generated from the curriculum…

The inadequacy of the traditional educational program has been clearly shown in the results of Project Talent. To remedy these defects, the Project PLAN Educational system includes six principle components: (1) an extensive informational program describing the opportunities, roles, and activities for which the student might prepare; (2) ability…

A computer-based system--the Educational Assembly System for Student Executed Educational Design (EASSEED)--is used to generate individualized curricula for students with varying needs and goals. It combines advances in management and computer technology to define the processes of curriculum development and thus moves toward an explicit…

Research investigated computer simulations of a hypothetical self-paced training program to determine the utility of this technique as a planning aid for Army training program managers. The General Purpose Simulation System (GPSS) was selected as the programing language and the study was divided into three stages. In Stage I, the daily number of…

Pius X High School in Downey, California, possesses a highly individualized academic program that stresses new roles for teachers and students; a nongraded continuous progress curriculum; varied, multimedia learning materials and activities; and individualized student scheduling and evaluation. Under the direction of the teacher, who acts as an…

The mission of the simulation team of the Model Elementary Teacher Education Project, 1968-71, was to develop simulation tools and conduct appropriate studies of the anticipated operation of that project. The team focused on the experiences of individual students and on the resources necessary for these experiences to be reasonable. This report…

The Florida Department of Education has adopted state-wide goals and performance objectives which can ultimately serve as the basis of a non-time based school. In such a system, student performance will be the measure of an individual's success, as opposed to merely the number of years spent in the classroom; additional characteristics will…
