This experimental study investigated whether computer-based video games facilitate children's cognitive learning. In comparison to traditional computer-assisted instruction (CAI), this study explored the impact of the varied types of instructional delivery strategies on children's learning achievement. One major research null hypothesis was…

The PLATO IV and TICCIT systems for computer assisted instruction will be tested and evaluated on a large scale in projects funded by the National Science Foundation. Included will be over 2500 students in elementary, community college and university classes beginning in September 1973. (TS)

Presents the methodology and findings of an experimental project to determine the viability of computer assisted as opposed to more traditional methods of instruction for teaching one phase of automotive troubleshooting. (Editor)

BASED ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT COMPUTER ASSISTED INSTRUCTION (CAI) CAN BE PROFITABLE TO BOTH STUDENTS AND TEACHERS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES, AN EXPERIMENTAL COURSE IN GERMAN WAS DESIGNED WHICH COULD MAKE USE OF COMPUTER CAPABILITIES IN A LANGUAGE LABORATORY SITUATION. RESEARCHERS CHOSE TO EXPERIMENT WITH A FAIRLY LONG, LESS CONTROLLED BEGINNING LANGUAGE…

Describes development and implementation of system of individualized instruction at Ohio State University at elementary level in Arabic, French, German, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. Funded by National Endowment for the Humanities, the project involved three components--teacher-assisted, mastery-based, and self-paced instruction (TAMBSPI).…

A management education planning approach called Computer-Assisted Subject Area (CASA) has been conceptualized as a framework for viewing, evaluating, and recording efforts to improve the effectiveness of a subject area to be integrated within an overall curriculum. CASA is a generalized set of models which feature a hierarchy of activities in…

A study examines the effectiveness of two major types of instructional technology used in a majority of federally supported bilingual education programs, computer assisted instruction, and video instruction. The videotape technologies examined were bidirectional or interactive television and videotape. The variations of computer technology…

This project utilized computer-based instruction proven effective in military training programs, cue-response programing, "SNAP" programed texts, and programed overlays for the "SMART" trainer (a universal simulation and representation devide which can be tailored to a specific course merely by changing the students' panel and…

AN INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED AS AN INTERIM APPROACH TOWARD WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF COMPUTER-BASED INSTRUCTION. AN EXPERIMENTAL PROTOTYPE OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS BEING DEVELOPED BY SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION UNDER A CONTRACT FROM THE SOUTHWEST REGIONAL LABORATORY FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. IT…

Sixteen papers are provided. B. F. Skinner discusses the arrangement of contingencies for learning: Lloyd Homme describes behavioral engineering; and Frank Hewett considers behavior modification in special education. Also treated are experimental education by Norris Haring, program evaluation by Arthur Lumsdaine, and administration of special…

This six-author study highlights the most significant attributes of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) and explains the techniques of authoring CAI lessons in political science. Fourth in a series of Instructional Resource Monographs, the volume has the objective to inform political science teachers and students about what CAI has to offer on a…
