Clearly stated learning objectives, a variety of learning activities, and units small enough for students to manage well are some of the crucial requirements for instructing developmental students. The model described depicts a typical systems design applied to instruction. (Author/LBH)

Proposes a seven-stage model of direct instruction as it might be applied to a reading skills lesson on predicting outcomes. Discusses each stage of the model: exploration, explication, translation, modeling, guided practice, application, and closure. (FL)

Responds to Biggs' article on the case presentation approach in clinical supervision by discussing implications for instruction of two relevant research programs: conceptual level (Harvey, Hunt, and Schroder, 1961) and Hunt's related matching model for education, and Strohmer and associates' cognitive models for clinical judgment. (NB)

Describes a strategy for teaching second-language listening comprehension by adapting several aspects of a successful reading model, explores the processes underlying listening and reading as well as pedagogical implications of current research in receptive skills. Specific guidelines for integrating listening skills are presented. (Author/CB)

The author looks at the Canadian short-term employment model and then examines characteristics of the Japanese employment model (recruitment methods, matching rewards to performance and investment, dealing with skill obsolescence and aging, and the advantages of Japan's long-term model). (CT)

Describes the development of a set of training modules based on the learning by example paradigm, with modules differing in the degree of guidance offered to the learner. The program structure is outlined, and three kinds of loops used to adapt the program to the learner's performance are discussed. (MBR)

Presents a sequential model for teaching interview skills based on job interview research. The model integrates objectives of interview training with methods, and teaches students how to prepare for an interview, communicate effectively, identify goals, and reduce anxiety. (JAC)

Explores the idea that human development should be the aim of education through discussion of the philosophies of John Dewey, Jean Piaget, Lawrence Kohlberg, and Alfred North Whitehead. A four stage teaching model that combines subject matter with developmental goals is presented. (Author/DB)

Students with learning disabilities (SLD) have been attending college at an ever-increasing rate. Although federal regulations opened higher education to college SLD, enrolled students often found that accommodations represented a small proportion of their service needs. Based upon extensive literature review, investigation of current delivery…

Considers problems which clinical social work students experience in integrating and using traditional science concepts. Presents a teaching model which includes research concepts in clinical classes, illustrated by comparing basic concepts from scientific literature (both research methods and statistical tests) with similar concepts from social…

Describes a training method that provides a systematic, experiential way of teaching both core conditions and their appropriate use according to dynamic phases of the counseling relationship. The model is part of the Master's curriculum in counseling at New Mexico State University, and has been shown to be effective. (Author/JAC)

Newell and Simon's new theory of thinking is summarized and some educational implications developed. The enaction theory implies that thinking is a skill and should be taught like other skills, by teaching methods of how to perform it. The traditional theory of thinking and its influence are briefly discussed. (Author/MH)

Describes the underlying human development theory that supports developmental-learning as opposed to remedial-learning assistance. Outlines a model of learning assistance based on these principles. (Author)

Working from a model of the experiential learning process, some pragmatic concerns for program design are presented. An extensive model for conducting internships is described, emphasizing ways in which learning from the internship experience can be facilitated. (Author/MLW)
