A method and apparatus for collecting and interpreting eye movement data is described that is both relatively inexpensive and portable. The study lists and describes hardware and software components of a data collection and data analysis system which provides precise information regarding the location, duration, and sequence of eye fixations while…

An electronic laboratory station was designed for student use in learning electronic instrumentation and measurement by means of the computer-guided experimentation (CGE) system. The station features rack-mounted electronic laboratory equipment on a laboratory table adjacent to a PLATO IV terminal. An integrated logic system behind the laboratory…

Research performed pursuant to a U.S. Office of Education contract, OEC-5-10-154.

Neutral individuals and apathetic individuals shifted attitudes significantly in this study. (Editor)

A controversy has arisen as to whether instrument vendors are providing sufficient information about instrument-associated software to permit users to understand invisible data transformations going on inside of the equipment. Topics addressed include software protection, user modifications, and publishing software. (Author/JN)

The authors describe a leisure counseling model. Key components of the model are skill, expertise, and warmth of the counselor. Three instruments for assessing interests and finding appropriate leisure activities have been developed and are used as part of the model. (SE)

Indicates that the current philosophy of laboratory experimentation and instrumentation is creating students that are not well versed in basic principles of chemistry. (GS)

Describes interactive, computer-graphics program emulating behavior of high resolution, ultraviolet-visible analog recording spectrophotometer. Graphics terminal behaves as recording absorption spectrophotometer. Objective of the emulation is study of optimization of the instrument to yield accurate absorption spectra, including…

SCORIT, a computer program which processes student responses to test items, is described and explained. The method of scoring responses according to an original test design and possible alternate test designs is detailed. The printing and punching of reports in a form suitable for correlational analysis are covered. A program description is…

A Fortran IV program is described which calculates relative peak intensities of any molecular or fragment ion and displays them graphically as a bar graph resembling a mass spectrum. Documentation, including listing, sample usage, and sample execution is available free of charge. (Author/JN)

Describes a ripple tank demonstration that displays interference patterns responsible for producing beats and provides photographs of computer simulations of various beat interference patterns. Includes programs for the computer simulation and equations of constructive interference paths in beat interference patterns. (Author/SK)

Reviews a noncommercial educational game (Polymerlab) and changes made in GASLAWS (adaptation of mainframe program used in computer-assisted instruction). Describes programs on simulation of molecular speed distributions; interfacing microcomputers to make laboratory measurements; a course in microcomputer-instrument interfacing and measuring and…

The report specifies the design of the data entry system for the Sample Data System subsystems (SDS-1 and SDS-2) providing connectability to meet previously specified purposes and functions of the Management Information System for Occupational Education (MISOE). General assumptions for specifying the SDS data entry system are stated including the…

Describes development of microcomputer-controlled gamma scintillation spectrometer and chromatographic data analyzer, including design and construction of interface electronics and production of software. Includes diagrams of electric circuits and project evaluation indicating that both instruments functioned as intended. (JN)
