Toward Developing an Unbiased Scoring Algorithm for "NASA" and Similar Ranking Tasks.

Peer reviewed

Lane, Irving M.; And Others – Group and Organization Studies, 1981

Presents both logical and empirical evidence to illustrate that the conventional scoring algorithm for ranking tasks significantly underestimates the initial level of group ability and that Slevin's alternative scoring algorithm significantly overestimates the initial level of ability. Presents a modification of Slevin's algorithm which authors…

Problem-Based (Group) Teaching: A Cognitive Science Approach to Using Available Knowledge.

Peer reviewed

Willems, J. – Instructional Science, 1981

Discusses the structure of a problem-based curriculum based on the complexity of the problems that the students must solve, taking into account the level they must attain and their previous experience with problem-based teaching. This approach is compared with the conventional teaching methods. Twenty-two references are listed. (CHC)
