Response-to-intervention (RTI) models incorporate a screening process to identify students who appear to be at risk for learning disabilities (LDs). The purpose of this position article is to incorporate what is known about screening into a flexible, yet comprehensive screening system to help school psychologists and other school administrators in…

The Michigan-Ohio Regional Educational Laboratory uses one of its own research projects as a model to outline recommended procedures in the planning of research efforts. The model used is an inservice teacher education program where three distinct phases operate in an overlapping manner as the program progresses. In the first phase, the problem is…

Practicum experiences for the student teacher should be sequentially ordered, proceeding from the simple to the complex. Having identified the areas of instructional experience as (1) number of lessons taught per day, (2) number of pupils taught per lesson, (3) sequential context of the lesson taught, (4) cognitive level of the lesson taught, and…

Presents a systems model for developing instruction in the affective domain and offers a checklist for instructional design. Topics discussed include conducting a needs assessment; behavioral objectives; sequencing affective objectives; the relationship between affective and cognitive behaviors; selecting instructional procedures; and designing…

A step-by-step exposition is presented of the manner in which the systematic application of the principles of instructional design can lead to sequential learning.

Argues that this concurrent model better represents actual counselor-client interactions than traditional discrete, sequential-stage representations because it is more inclusive and integrated, yet flexible.…

In this second volume of a three-volume series on the construction of self-instructional systems, the system synthesis phase is described and directions are given for the construction of a preliminary system version. In order to aid the program constructor in establishing the correct sequence of instruction, various models of programing are…

Instructional task variables of analytical explanation and sequence were studied in two experiments to assess the systems approach proposition of efficiency and effectiveness in concept learning. The independent variable of analytical explanation consisted of two components: a procedure for focusing the subject's attention on the critical…
