The application of natural language processing (NLP) technology in the field of education has attracted considerable attention. This study takes 716 articles from the Web of Science database from 1998 to 2023 as its research sample. Using bibliometrics as the theoretical foundation, and employing methods such as literature review and knowledge…

Surveyed physiology teaching methods and compared results to 1969 and 1973 surveys. Respondents (107/139 physiology department chairpersons) indicated decrease in but continued use of laboratory exercises and a trend toward problem-solving sets, audiovisual aids, computer simulation, and computer assisted instruction. Data are provided for these…

Cites universities requiring personal computer purchase, pointing out possibility for individualized design assignments.…

Trends in the use of visualization (computer graphics) for instructional purposes are analyzed in three segments: (1) current classroom activities; (2) technically possible but not prevalent classroom activities; and (3) the future classroom. The discussion draws on University of Iowa efforts, national curricular innovations, and presentations and…

The use of computer technology brings profound changes that demand a need for rethinking the role of public education. This report's purpose is to assist educators in shaping the future role and nature of the public schools. The report centers on two aspects of the change: the economic context and the evolving educational process. The work world…

The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Horizons Committee met in Iowa City (Iowa) before the 1982 Curriculum Update Conference. The committee was charged with planning a new future of science education. The thinking of the members of the Horizons Committee provided the framework for the 1982 conference. These proceedings represent a…

First of a two-part series identifying probable changes in English instruction resulting from technology's impact on society and schools. Predicts consequences of interactive reading and writing software, style checkers, teacher-monitored networks in electronic writing labs, computer generated texts, and desktop publishing. (JG)

Second of a two-part series that identifies probable changes in English instruction resulting from technology's impact on society and schools. Provides a review of five books recommended for considering the source, nature, and direction of trends in hardware, software, and "neural netware," or brains. Reports questions used by researchers on this…

This document contains the texts of 27 presentations given at the National Agricultural Education Research Meeting. The papers in the proceedings are grouped under 10 themes with a critique for each group. The themes (with speakers' names in parentheses) are as follows: supervised occupational experiences (Gregory W. Fletcher, David L. Williams,…

This guide contains ideas and resources for adult education. It provides practical suggestions and specific guidance in five areas of adult education: adult basic education, high school completion/general education development, English for speakers of other languages, exceptional adult basic education, and the elderly.
