The Design of Training Systems (DOTS) model was conceived to provide Naval Education and Training Command management with computerized mathematical models to assist in predicting the quantitative impact of training resource decisions. During Phase III of the project, the three models were operationally tested, and an evaluation team concluded that…

Discussed the Pilot State Dissemination Program, undertaken as a try-out of an educational extension and retrieval system on a sufficiently large scale to derive guidelines for future projects at the state level. (Author/RK)

The flowcharts and computer programs prepared for use in conjunction with the Procedures Manual for the Student Accountability Model (see JC 740 394) are presented. The programs provide an illustration of how one district applied the flowchart to its own hardware capabilities. The flowcharts are: Assign Course Priority, Assign Student Major,…

Dynamic analysis offers a comprehensive view of the cost benefit and cost effective dimensions of policy problems. It also provides the computational power to investigate the long term effects of policy decisions on the flow of resources in organizations and government agencies. (Author/MV)

This publication is part 2 of a two-part paper that presents design specifications for the Wisconsin System of Instructional Management (WIS-SIM), a computerized management system designed for instructional programs that are compatible with the Individually Guided Education model. WIS-SIM incorporates processes for placement testing, performance…

The final report summarizes accomplishments and implications of the project for the development and implementation of Navy training devices that utilize computer-based simulation. The emphasis is on Navy anti-air warfare in the shore-based training environment, but the results are applicable to other training environments. The report also…

The RMC Corporation, under contract to the U.S. Office of Education, developed a reporting and evaluation system to be used at the state and local level for evaluating Elementary and Secondary Education Act Title I programs. The three evaluation models and RMC's recommendations regarding their implementation specified stringent requirements…

An evaluation model was developed to measure the effectiveness of pilot programs in vocational education for handicapped persons in selected State schools and State hospitals in Texas. The model was field-tested by conducting evaluations of 16 pilot programs in vocational education for the handicapped located in seven State schools/hospitals. Data…

A localized system for the evaluation of investment in vocational education in Ohio is described in this four part manual. Following an instruction introduction to the manual, part II provides a description of the analytical framework for this system. Vocational education is analyzed as an investment and an explanation of the criteria used in the…

The assertion that Model C is feasible for Elementary Secondary Education Act Title I evaluation, why it is feasible, and reasons why it is so seldom used are explained. Two assumptions must be made to use the special regression model. First, a strict cut-off must be used on the pretest to assign students to Title I and comparison groups. Second,…

The School of Education of Syracuse University implemented EXPER SIM, a computer simulation program, in a graduate program in instructional technology. During a one-semester course each student planned a program of research, developed a proposal for at least one experimental study, collected simulated data using EXPER SIM, analyzed and interpreted…

A computerized model was developed to evaluate local vocational education programs in relation to the various functions of vocational education. A data base was generated using the local school districts' information and the output was designed for local self-evaluation use in further planning and review of the overall vocational education plan.…

Using the systematic plan of the Public Education Project developed in Region J of North Carolina as its model, this guide presents in detail seven major steps in organizing a public education project for emergency medical services: (1) assessing needs; (2) survey methodology; (3) determining objectives; (4) media usage--both mass media and…

The 1966-68 Stanford mathematics programs in computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is reported in this book. The first part describes in detail the 1966-68 arithmetic drill and practice program which followed the similar program run in 1965-66. Part II describes the tutorial program in first and second grade mathematics at Brentwood School in East…

This study proposed to examine the feasibility of implementing the total Florida State University Model for Preparing Elementary Teachers, by analyzing the cost/management factors and the human factors involved. It presents a conceptual extension of the specifications to an implementable instructional model, which was utilized as a theoretical…
