A computer-oriented filing system is considered necessary to handle the approximately 1,500 students likely to be enrolled in the Georgia model program to train elementary teachers (ED 025 491) by the time it reaches sustained operation. The system of individualized scheduling involves establishing and maintaining a computer storage filing system…

A discussion on the impact of the information explosion on society provides the context for this paper's examination of procedures for designing the first stage of a systematic plan to incorporate computer technologies in elementary and secondary schools. Based on the rationale that a computer literate faculty must be available to make decisions…

The potential value of the use of television in teacher training in Iran to help fill the gap between the present work force of teachers and the number needed for full enrollment of the nation's children at the elementary and secondary levels is considered. A computer model which has been developed to permit quick and easy assessment of the impact…

The efficient use of information depends on the way it is organized. Haphazard information may serve some useful purpose, but for a particular purpose, information needs to be processed into another structure which more easily fulfills that purpose. This booklet examines the concepts of information and information processing with the intention of…

At the core of the University of Georgia model are teacher performance behaviors. They are the basis of the trainee's learning activities throughout the 6-year program. The trainee moves through three program phases; preprofessional--preparing for paraprofessional services; professional--preparing for certified teaching; and inservice--preparing…

Research has shown that wait-time (the amount of silence between teacher and student echances) is a part of an interdependent student-teacher interaction system and that the manipulation of this variable has measurable effects on teacher input variables, student outcome variables, and acquisition variables. Since the acquisition of extended…

The Music Technology and Resource Center at Northern Colorado University's School of Music provides students access to advanced technology in music recording, composition, and performance; allows exploration of the use of computers and interactive computer technology in teaching music, and serves as a resource for music educators and students…

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…

A series of computer programs designed to provide a dynamic simulator of Joyce and Weil's models of interactive teaching are described. Initially developed and tested at the City University of New York (CUNY), the system is capable of supporting retrospective and predictive analysis of selected kinds and patterns of verbal behavior in a variety of…

The mission of the simulation team of the Model Elementary Teacher Education Project, 1968-71, was to develop simulation tools and conduct appropriate studies of the anticipated operation of that project. The team focused on the experiences of individual students and on the resources necessary for these experiences to be reasonable. This report…

Nearly 150 papers presented at this conference, sponsored by the International Federation for Information Processing, are included in this volume which surveys the state of the art of computer education. Nine papers provide an overview on such topics as computer science and mathematics, computer education in the 1970's, computers and the…

For the thirty-third year, the Research and Theory Division of the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) is sponsoring the publication of these Proceedings. This is Volume #2 of the 33rd "Annual Proceedings of Selected Papers on the Practice of Educational Communications and Technology." This volume includes…
