Peer reviewedAtteberry, Jim W. – Journal of Vocational Education Research, 1979
This study focused on determining the applicability of a mathematical modeling technique (goal programing) to state-level vocational education planning, using Missouri as a test case. Results indicate that such models may help the vocational planner solve problems that cannot be solved by more conventional methods. (SK)

Peer reviewedLancaster, David; And Others – Educational Management and Administration, 1983
Major literature is reviewed in the course of describing and assessing the role of operations research (OR) in educational administration. Increased use of OR approaches in education and a compounding of the present disagreement about the application and potential of OR are forecast. (MJL)

This paper discusses goal programming, a computer-based operations research technique that is basically a modification and extension of linear programming. The authors first discuss the similarities and differences between goal programming and linear programming, then describe the limitations of goal programming and its possible applications for…

Sanders, Susan; And Others – 1978
This text provides educational administrators with a working knowledge of the problem-solving techniques of PERT (planning, evaluation, and review technique), Linear Programming, Queueing Theory, and Simulation. The text includes an introduction to decision-making and operations research, four chapters consisting of indepth explanations of each…

Ackoff, Russell L. – 1974
Three fundamental educational issues which are usually ignored in favor of more trival operating problems are identified as follows: how can the educational process be redesigned to focus on the learning, not teaching, process; how to avoid organizing education around rigid schedules and artifically quantified units of subject matter and instead…

Chuang, Ying C. – 1974
The methods of operations research (OR) can make many contributions to the solution of the complex problems which beset urban education. OR techniques such as PERT are useful aids to planning school construction, budgets, and research projects. System planning models can be used to represent urban educational systems and to predict the effects of…
