Writing high-quality procedural texts is a challenging task for many learners. While example-based learning has shown promise as a feedback approach, a limitation arises when all learners receive the same content without considering their individual input or prior knowledge. Consequently, some learners struggle to grasp or relate to the feedback,…

A model for the audiotutorial learning system was developed which consists of three stages. In the first stage, prelearning activities, the teacher and the learner communicate the goals, objectives, needs, expectations, and rationales for the learning. Also in this stage is a diagnosis-prescription test designed to structure and initiate the next…

Presents a strategy model for implementing learner controlled instruction. Seven steps are listed with primary emphasis on the delegation of authority, research, analysis, definition, and validation of each. (JEG)

As a part of a course on leadership, psychology and management developed for the United States Naval Academy (the final report appears under EM 010 484, EM 010 418, and EM 010 419) this report proposes a new model for presentation design and media selection which distinguishes between media and presentations. Presentation Design is discussed in…

The design and operational characteristics of an individualized course development model are detailed in this second volume composed of appendixes to EM 010 418 (see also Part One of the Final Report, EM 010 484). The volume contains an index to technical reports and papers, an index for product tree, course outlines, a list of original terminal…

Project ORDER is a pilot project tested in an urban middle school in Houston, Texas. The program was intended to improve the general school atmosphere; to improve students' attitudes toward the school, its program, faculty, and administration; to show significant improvement in pupil behavior; and to substantially improve teaching-learning…

Although it deals with both years of the program, this report is primarily concerned with the second year of Project ORDER. The program's objectives were to improve the general school atmosphere, including teacher, student, and parent attitudes toward the school; to show continued significant improvement in pupil behavior; and to substantially…

The existing (1968) United States Naval Academy course on psychological and management principles applicable to leadership is reviewed, along with the proposed experimental multimedia course being developed by Westinghouse Learning Corporation (the final report appears under EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484). The functional categories of a…

Several studies conducted in the experimental multimedia leadership management course developed by Westinghouse Learning Corporation for the United States Naval Academy are reported in this part of the final report (part two appears under EM 010 418 and EM 010 419). The research was designed to evaluate the effects of major variations in…

Procedures, guidelines, and decision-making processes for a multimedia course development project in leadership, psychology, and management for the United States Naval Academy are summarized in this Final Report (see EM 010 484 for Part One of the report). The report describes aspects of project management design, covers course content definition,…

In the first of a two-part document, the Westinghouse Learning Corporation delineates the major aspects of research to be carried out in the experimental leadership course instituted at the United States Naval Academy (the final report appears under EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484). Specific topics covered in this part include validation of…

In the second of a two-part document (part I is under EM 010 475), the Westinghouse Learning Corporation provides further details on the research to be carried out in the experimental leadership course instituted at the United States Naval Academy (the final report appears under EM 010 418, EM 010 419, and EM 010 484). Further details are…

This report is the first of a two-part document which presents the results of the research conducted during the first implementation of the leadership, psychology and management course at the United States Naval Academy. A detailed discussion of the background of the research, the research plan, and its implementation is provided. The second part…

An explication of the modification to the research design for the second implementation of the United States Naval Academy leadership course developed by the Westinghouse Learning Corporation is provided. A comparison is made, where applicable, of the results of the experimental manipulations in the spring and fall implementations. A summary of…
