This article presents the design and evaluation of a tool for inspecting conceptual models of system behaviour. The basis for this research is the Garp framework for qualitative simulation. This framework includes modelling primitives, such as entities, quantities and causal dependencies, which are combined into model fragments and scenarios.…

This paper describes the SIGGS Theory Model as it applies to educational systems. This model, designed to simulate a wide variety of systems, uses sets (S), information (I), graph theory (G), and general systems (GS). The educational system is viewed as a set; in one example this set consists of teacher, student, curriculum, and setting. This…

Wileman, Ralph E.; Gambill, Thomas G. – Educational Technology, 1983
Discusses three phases of instructional design (ID)--definition of instructional parameters, analysis and synthesis of instructional alternatives, and implementation of instructional plan--and presents a 15-step ID model. Included for each step are a descriptive name, boxed example, and rationale and (as applicable) current state of technology for…

Maccia, Elizabeth Steiner; Maccia, George S. – 1973
In this paper, the SIGGS Theory is set forth and shown to be a model for educational research. The paper treats of the SIGGS Theory, educational research, and of the SIGGS Theory as a model for educational research. The SIGGS Theory provides characterizations of a general system beyond those developed prior to SIGGS' introduction.…

Clancey, William J. – 1985
A broad range of well-structured problems--embracing forms of diagnosis, catalog selection, and skeletal planning--are solved in expert computer systems by the method of heuristic classification. These programs have a characteristic inference structure that systematically relates data to a pre-enumerated set of solutions by abstraction, heuristic…

Maccia, George S.; Steiner, Elizabeth – 1977
Two types of questions may be asked in educational inquiry: educological ones--those seeking descriptions of educational events, and programmatic ones--those seeking prescriptions for educational interventions. Quantitative educology is described as consisting of three branches: the philosophy, science, and praxiology of education. The SIGGS…
