Purpose: This study aims at presenting an analysis of a Change Laboratory conducted with the personnel of a youth supported housing unit for clients with a history or at risk of homelessness. The analysis is centered on how the workers' expansive learning process was supported ensuring that they would be in the lead of their workplace…

A description is given of a project investigating the use of an interactive learning system in introductory college chemistry courses. (MP)

Reported is a study measuring attitude changes among eighth-graders resulting from studying a unit in mathematics using laboratory materials. Students were grouped into eight naturally occurring attitude-groups. The results indicate that the formation of attitude-groups is not a major factor for consideration in the design of mathematics units…

The author strongly questions the arbitrary and random usage of diverse experiences, labs, games and activities in the mathematics classroom. He urges that teachers not substitute these activities for carefully planned, sequential mathematics instruction. (CT)

Sixty pupils from the third grade of a public school in a middle class suburban community were randomly assigned to four groups. Pupils in one of the groups were given, individually, a two-lesson instructional sequence using the audio-tutorial mode. Pupils in a second group were given the same two-lesson sequence in the teacher-directed, group…

Described is a 15-minute audio-tour that orients first-time visitors to the center by providing them with an organized walk through the facility and describing special features. (MP)

Describes planning and implementation phases of the development of individualized and small group learning laboratory facilities for primary and intermediate grades in a new elementary school. Includes descriptions of teacher and student summer activities during design, selection and evaluation of general science instructional media and materials.…

Presents the procedures, results and conclusions of a study designed to evaluate the relative effectiveness of two approaches to a general education earth science course at the college level. (LC)

Describes the ERAT (electronic-response and audiotutorial modes of instruction) system which is used to teach biology to non-science majors at Ball State University. Outlines the course content, the student activities involved in using this system, the role of the instructor, and the value of technology in education. (JR)

Questions present methods of science instruction in secondary schools. Offers suggestions to increase learning efficiency by substitution of alternate instructional procedures. The Exploratorium in San Francisco is identified as one alternative. (CP)

A computation learning lab was planned, implemented, and evaluated as a way of helping learners conquer computation problems. Features include: emphasis on a premotivation activity; the use, on a regular basis, of eight instructional strategies; and active parent support. The lab students showed dramatic gains. (MP)

Describes self-paced freshmen courses in electronics using study guides with questions answerable entirely from laboratory measurements. Discusses the problem of supplying students with needed results of evaluation quickly. No statistics are included. (GH)

Compared was the relative effectiveness of a new college level general biology course utilizing an audio-tutorial (A-T) laboratory with a traditional lecture course without a laboratory. Five biology classes (two traditional and three A-T) with 720 students at Kansas State Teachers College comprised the population. Seventy students, 35 male and 35…
