Fattu, Nicholas A., Ed.; Elam, Stanley, Ed. – 1965
This book opens with "An Introduction to Simulation" by Nicholas A. Fattu, Institute of Educational Research, Indiana University; he includes a survey of simulation, discussion of its potential for educational applications, and a 60-item bibliography. The remaining chapters are papers presented at the 1964 research symposium which dealt…

Holzman, Thomas G.; And Others – Memory and Cognition, 1976
Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

Ripota, Peter – Unterrichtswissenschaft, 1973
Attempts to clarify the concepts of model, simulation, and game on a theoretical basis, with emphasis on application in the field of computer assisted instruction. (DD)

Laudato, Nicholas C.; Roman, Richard A. – 1975
A computer-based curricular package was developed to teach elementary school students to solve arithmetic word problems and to teach problem solving skills applicable to situations not involving word problems. An information processing model for solving word problems was used to sequence the problems. Pilot test results with five students…

Hansen, Duncan N. – 1971
Three generic types of information processing (IP) models are considered in this paper. They are: the General Problem Solver, developed by Simon; interactive natural language models exemplified by the work of Weizenbaum, and the quantitative instructional models developed by Atkinson. These were selected primarily because of their potential for…

Lange, Dale L.; And Others – CALICO Journal, 1985
Presents the rationale behind a model for the use of the computer in the development of reading comprehension. Basic assumptions concerning reading are delineated. The model has three basic components: intake (text processing and text comprehension), personalization, and extension. (Author/SED)

Atkins, Hilary; Moore, David; Sharpe, Simon; Hobbs, Dave – 2001
This paper looks at the low participation rates in computer mediated conferences (CMC) and argues that one of the causes of this may be an incompatibility between students' learning styles and the style adopted by CMC. Curry's Onion Model provides a well-established framework within which to view the main learning style theories (Riding and…

Frederiksen, John R.; And Others – 1983
Research was conducted to investigate the interactions among component processes of reading and to determine if a hierarchical training model, in which particular reading components are developed sequentially, is an effective way to build reading skills for a target population. Three game-like microcomputer training systems were constructed, each…

International Federation for Information Processing, Geneva (Switzerland). Working Group on Secondary School Education. – 1972
Society and education are changing rapidly, and since computers are playing a significant role in these changes it is imperative that secondary school teachers become more fully informed about computers. Computers are of interest to learners because they have led to new theoretical developments, such as automata theory, have many practical…

Deubel, Patricia – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2003
Typically, guidelines for design of interactive multimedia systems have been based on intuitive beliefs of designers rather than being founded on relevant research and theory. As advances in technology create new opportunities for education, it is important to use a range of theoretical perspectives to optimize use of new technology in teaching…

Kribs, H. Dewey – 1973
A description is provided of a computer-based simulation of an instructional system which adapts the learning environment to the individual's unique attributes for processing information and for being motivated. The main purposes of the simulation are: 1) to introduce, as attributes for individualizing instruction, information processing variables…

Seidel, Robert J. – 1969
This report summarizes Project IMPACT activities in fiscal year 1968. The goal of the project is to develop a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) training system in the COBOL language for the U.S. Army. Following an introduction, the report explains the instructional decision model which is used with an interactive computer system. The hardware…

Spuck, Dennis W.; And Others – 1975
For the benefit of administrators and instructors, individualized instruction and the role of computers in managing it are outlined. Structural components of individualized instructional programs are identified, and the process of individualized instruction is described. A review of major computer-managed instructional (CMI) systems is provided,…

Verduin-Muller, Henriette, Ed. – 1984
Fifteen papers presented at conferences throughout Europe and in the USSR, Nigeria, Japan, Jamaica, and Tunesia provide an introduction to the research work being done by the graduate level Department of Geography for Education (G.ED.) at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. An introductory chapter describes the three G.ED. modules, which…
