This paper is based on a particulate pollutant system study to delineate the deficiencies in knowledge regarding the nature and magnitude of particulate pollutant emissions from stationary sources. Presented at the 12th Conference on Methods in Air Pollution and Industrial Hygiene Studies, University of Southern California, April, 1971, it focuses…

Among the variety of approaches to curriculum development, one methodology uses the idea of "consensus". It has been especially effective when used to define content areas within larger disciplines. While the technique may be applicable to curricula within any discipline, this research focuses on its application as a basis for the…

Research on the development of perceptuomotor coordination in sighted children, specifically, the ability to (1) reach to objects, (2) explore objects once they have been attained, and (3) use actions to transform spatial relationships, is reviewed for implications for development of perceptuomotor skills in visually impaired children.

Identifies stages in the process of educational software development: pre-specification stage in which educators identify the software's educational considerations; specification stage in which educators and programers work together to develop the program; documentation stage; field testing stage; and support stage.

Food service energy research identifies food service methods and equipment that save energy while maintaining food quality, especially nutrition. This article discusses (1) research findings; (2) applications of these findings, including energy management policies, and energy-efficient equipment and recipes; and (3) efforts to educate students…

Describes a methodology for linking instructional objectives to computer assisted instruction software and for evaluating the software in regard to such objectives. The proposed taxonomy codifies instructional objectives into machine readable format and includes the elements of subject, function, skill hierarchies, capability level, and…

Presents troubleshooting suggestions specifically intended for the Apple II microcomputer which have been developed from experiences working with children and pre- and inservice teachers. Guidelines for diagnosing problems focus on the mechanical functions of the microcomputer hardware. (MBR)

Describes the development of a standardized approach for identifying, defining, and measuring indicators of work performance and effectiveness and of the methods for expressing these indicators in financial terms. (Author/IRT)

The "paradigm dialogue" is an attempt to examine the philosophical positions of competing social science "ways of knowing" in the hope of establishing a dialogue among these different schools of thought. Three paradigms--postpositivism, critical theory, and constructivism--were examined in regard to their stances on three…

In the present paper, the selection of scales and concepts and the format for administration are discussed in terms of an underlying linear model. (Editor)

Author outlines some of the basic techniques of futurology and suggests a possible course of action in getting our futurology effort underway. (Author/RK)

The prupose of this study was to investigate the effect of verbal reinforcement on the relationship between self-esteem and persistence. (Author)

An experiment was conducted comparing judgment of recency (JOR) for line drawings and printed words representing common objects. In a mixed design, groups of 15 Ss were tested using either pictures or words at either of two presentation rates. (Editor)

The present experiment showed that after learning a list of unrelated words organized onto subjective groupings, the representation of groupings in DWDs (double-word displays) affected RL (recognition latency) only when both words in a DWD were old. (Editor)

The major thrust of this paper rests on the belief that information can be obtained from analysis of the relationship between unmeasured variables which would not otherwise be gleaned from the data. (Author)
