ESPICH, JAMES E.; WILLIAMS, BILL – 1967
THEORIES BEHIND PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION, STEPS REQUIRED FOR PROGRAMING, AND THE MAJOR PROGRAMING TECHNIQUES OF EDITING, TESTING, AND ANALYSIS ARE DISCUSSED. TOPICS INCLUDE--HOW TO ANALYZE MATERIAL TO BE PROGRAMED, HOW TO DIAGRAM MATERIAL, AND HOW TO USE VARIOUS CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES--DISCRIMINATION, CONSTRUCTED RESPONSE, BRANCHING, BABOON…

Shettel, Harris H.; Lumsdaine, Arthur A. – 1961
To facilitate the development of self-instructional programs for the SAGE Track Monitor and Intercept Director, job characteristics were outlined in behavioral terms, including: job knowledge, decision-making, problem-solving, perception, position-motor, symbolic identification, and sequential. Task characteristics were related to the following…

McBride, James R.; Weiss, David J. – 1976
Four monte carlo simulation studies of Owen's Bayesian sequential procedure for adaptive mental testing were conducted. Whereas previous simulation studies of this procedure have concentrated on evaluating it in terms of the correlation of its test scores with simulated ability in a normal population, these four studies explored a number of…

Gray, Susan H. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1987
Reviews study of 80 undergraduate sociology students which compared the effects of two types of sequencing in computer assisted instruction: (1) linear, or fixed, and (2) flip, or branching. Results indicate that students in the flip sequence condition performed better on comprehension measures but not on retention measures. (Author/LRW)

Richards, Thomas C.; Fukuzawa, Jeannette – Educational Technology, 1989
Outlines technological and cognitive considerations in the selection of authoring systems for writing computer-assisted instruction (CAI) lessons. Topics discussed include hardware selection; documentation; text display; screen appearance; branching and sequencing; text editing; graphics; animation; sound and voice input and output; student…

Bjerstedt, Ake – 1971
In this second volume of a three-volume series on the construction of self-instructional systems, the system synthesis phase is described and directions are given for the construction of a preliminary system version. In order to aid the program constructor in establishing the correct sequence of instruction, various models of programing are…

Ornstein, Jacob – 1970
This paper reviews the historical development of programed instruction from the works of S.L. Pressey and B.F. Skinner to the concept of program-assisted instruction. A categorical listing of both the limitations and the capabilities of programed instruction is included. (RL)

Stolurow, Lawrence M. – 1967
A computer-based instructional (CBI) system was developed following a conceptualization of the teaching-learning process and was used to conduct research relating to an idiographic model of tutorial instruction and to investigate basic variables in learning and transfer. To adapt teaching modes to individual learners, the CBI system (acronym:…

Coulson, J. E.; Silberman, H. F. – 1959
Eight groups of ten junior college students were given an experimental training session with manually simulated teaching machines, each group being taught with a different mode of teaching machine operation. The variables were student response mode, size of steps between successive items, and branching procedure. A written test was given to all…

Smith, Robert G., Jr. – 1961
Programed instruction is defined here as the use of a set of engineering techniques for applying learning principles in an instructional situation. Military commanders and their staff who may be interested in programed instruction for their training programs are offered a general view of what is involved in automating instruction. The…

Berger, Robert J.; And Others – 1968
An undertaking designed to teach the fundamental concepts of programing makes the learner learn frame writing by means of frames. A sliding card gradually discloses the two basic sequences which programs usually follow--the linear and the branching sequences. A branching sequence may be normal or remedial, a frame regular or mainstream. A linear…

Kay, Harry; And Others – 1968
The various devices used in programed instruction range from the simple linear programed book to branching and skip branching programs, adaptive teaching machines, and even complex computer based systems. In order to provide a background for the would-be programer, the essential principles of each of these devices is outlined. Different ideas of…

Weiss, David J., Ed. – 1985
This report contains the Proceedings of the 1982 Item Response Theory and Computerized Adaptive Testing Conference. The papers and their discussions are organized into eight sessions: (1) "Developments in Latent Trait Theory," with papers by Fumiko Samejima and Michael V. Levine; (2) "Parameter Estimation," with papers by…

Melching, William H.; And Others – 1963
U.S. Army service schools have been directed (USONARC Directive 350-34, Education and Training, New Instructional Techniques) to initiate development of automated courses of instruction in their curriculum. Programers and training supervisors are provided with procedural guidelines for the derivation of learning objectives and for the use of…
