This paper presents five designs (three one-group and two two-group) which can be effectively employed to study computer-based methods in non-laboratory settings, including actual classroom implementation, where a non-treatment control design may not be feasible. These designs are sequential analysis, value-added analysis, non-equivalent dependent…

Emphasis on broad-based institutional planning is largely a phenomenon of the seventies. One reason is that the value placed on it varied inversely with the availability of resources. Yet the state of the art of planning for change is not far advanced. There is evidence that those institutions doing this kind of planning tend to be private,…

The Departmental Enrollment Projection Model (DEPM), which is based on the assumption that enrollments are essentially influenced by economic and social forces, is described. Under the model's approach, the department, rather than the institution as a whole, is seen as the focal point of both the enrollment projection and, by implication, the…

This paper describes a model for the systematic design, development, and validation of alternative instructional modules, by incorporating the basic concepts underlying Aptitude Treatment Interaction (ATI) analyses. The proposed working model is based on the premise that the ATI concept is best applied, not in isolation, but as an integral part of…

The purpose of this research was to develop and field test a new flowchart model prescribing specific operations for tryout and revision of prototype multi-media self-instructional treatments. The methods and results of the following four phases of the study are described: (1) design of a MK I flowchart model based on a review of the literature;…
