As a result of program weaknesses found in a 1967 study of the counselor education program at Michigan State University, a new model entitled "systematic counseling" was developed. It has now been used with over 700 trainees and 6,000 clients in supervised practicum settings. Briefly, systematic counseling represents an organized means of…

This document summarizes the report of an investigation (SP 004 171) which established the feasibility of developing and operating the Georgia model program for the preparation of elementary school teachers (ED 025 491). The three objectives are listed: to determine feasibility of the model in projected sustained operation, to develop a strategy…

Selected budget formulas currently in use for university operations are described as a background for examining a budgetary model that would provide for the integration of separate formulas. Data on the formulas were collected from states with system-wide coordinating boards that are responsible for budgetary reviews. The most common formula…

A computer model for providing information to assist space administrators at the University of Toronto in planning classroom requirements is presented in this thesis. The requirements generated are compared against available rooms and measures of utilization computed. The model reacts to changes in parameters describing the system which allows the…

The term evaluation is used here to mean either the procedure of gathering pupil data to use in planning and monitoring individual programs or the procedure of gathering and analyzing data in such a way that it leads to improvements in materials and in the instructional system. The author reviews the Winnetka Plan and the Eight-Year-Study. He then…

This document summarizes programs provided in the Developing Institutions Program (Title III of the 1965 Higher Education Act.) The data sources were a questionnaire yielding Title III program data and institutional characteristics from 1965-66 to 1970-71 for 325 institutions receiving Title III funds, as well as case studies for 41 institutions…

A model for the audiotutorial learning system was developed which consists of three stages. In the first stage, prelearning activities, the teacher and the learner communicate the goals, objectives, needs, expectations, and rationales for the learning. Also in this stage is a diagnosis-prescription test designed to structure and initiate the next…

This periodical, part of a bimonthly series produced by the ERIC Counseling and Personnel Services Information Center, presents articles and information and examines several models, techniques and programs for teachers, student personnel workers, and laymen in the fields of counseling and education. Regular features include exemplars, research…

Chapter I of this manual for a planning simulation system for higher education presents some basic outlines to aid in the planning process, including the "outline of plans" as a concrete aid to systematic planning. This chapter also identifies some of the typical problems and barriers that hamper the planning process, and conveys the…

PRIME is an acronym for Planning Resources in Minnesota Education. The project's primary objective is to test the implementation of CAMPUS (Comprehensive Analytical Methods for Planning University Systems) in one State College, one Junior College, and in one school at the University of Minnesota. The CAMPUS model was developed by the Institute for…

The purpose of this report is to aid the use of the computer simulation model, CAMPUS-M, in 4 specific areas: (1) the conceptual modeling of the institution; (2) the preparation of machine readable input data; (3) the preparation of simulation and report commands for the model; and (4) the actual running of the program on a CDC 6600 computer.…

This paper describes the reasons for development and implementation of planning management systems in institutions of higher education, relates the history and significance of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education Planning and Management System (PMS) program, and compares 2 approaches to implementation. It is suggested that a…

An On-Line Modeling System (OLMS) which should be particularly useful to the biomedical community is described which utilizes a process called "overlaying" to simplify loading and executing programs. OLMS has been constructed and implemented as an interpreter; that is, a program that translates and then executes each source statement in…

Intended for administrators of First Chance projects, a federal network established to operate model preschool and early education programs for handicapped children, the guidelines present ways to encourage the replication of the model programs by local community agencies, in order to provide services for many more handicapped children. Discussed…

The purpose of this project was to develop a "meta model"--a plan which could assist investigators in building models--using a computer simulation language. It is based on the assumption that there is a one-to-one correspondence between using a simulation language and building a model. The language selected is the General Purpose…
