A COMPUTER PROGRAMED GENERAL SCHOOL SIMULATOR IS DESCRIBED AND RULES ARE GIVEN FOR A COMPUTER TRYOUT OF THE PILOT VERSION. ALTHOUGH THE MODEL WAS DESIGNED AS A GENERAL VEHICLE THAT WOULD PERMIT COMPUTER MODELING OF ANY SCHOOL CONFIGURATION, THE FIRST PILOT VERSION REPRESENTS A HYPOTHETICAL SCHOOL OPERATING UNDER THE "CONTINUOUS PROGRESS…

A PROJECT WAS DESCRIBED THAT WOULD USE SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND COMPUTER SIMULATION TECHNIQUES TO FIND NEW WAYS TO IMPLEMENT INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA. THE FOUR MAJOR STEPS TO BE TAKEN FOR THIS STUDY ARE--(1) SURVEY AND SELECTION OF HIGH SCHOOLS, (2) SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF THE FIVE HIGH SCHOOLS SELECTED FOR STUDY, (3) CONSTRUCTION OF A COMPUTER-SIMULATION…

A COMPUTER SIMULATION OF A CONTINUOUS PROGRESS SCHOOL THAT PERMITS STUDENTS TO SCHEDULE THEMSELVES FOR COURSE WORK ON AN AUTONOMOUS BASIS WAS CONSTRUCTED AND TESTED. THE SYSTEM WAS SET UP TO FREE THE STUDENT FROM THE DISADVANTAGES OF TRADITIONAL PROGRESSION BY ALLOWING HIM TO WORK IN OTHER COURSES WHILE WAITING FOR TEACHING ASSISTANCE IN ANOTHER.…

IN THIS REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE FOR A CONTINUOUS PROGRESS EDUCATION CENTER FOR ABOUT 3,500 RACIALLY MIXED STUDENTS AT THE PRIMARY, INTERMEDIATE, AND SECONDARY LEVELS. SINCE INITIAL CONSTRUCTION WILL BEGIN ON A CENTER AT THE INTERMEDIATE LEVEL, IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THE SCHOOL SYSTEM'S PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS CONVERT TO THE CONTINUOUS…

THIS REPORT DESCRIBES A PROPOSED CONTINUOUS PROGRESS EDUCATIONAL CENTER WITH AN EXPECTED ENROLLMENT OF ABOUT 3,500 RACIALLY MIXED PUPILS AT ALL GRADE LEVELS. (A PRESCHOOL GROUP MAY BE ADDED, THUS RAISING THE TOTAL ENROLLMENT.) NO MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE STUDENTS WILL BE NONWHITE AND NO SINGLE MINORITY GROUP (NEGRO, ORIENTAL, FILIPINO, OR…
