Describes an instructional technique in which students study examples of problems that are worked out and identify principles that are involved; evaluation procedures are discussed. This technique could be used in most areas of conceptual science. (RAO)

The design, organization, application and implications of a practical self-instructional course to teach audio-visual media and methods to teachers and student teachers are described. Extracts of the printed course texts illustrate the format and content of the course. (Author)

EXPERIMENTS WERE DEVISED TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TELEVISED INSTRUCTION. THESE WERE CONCERNED WITH WHETHER (1) METHODS OF LESSON PREPARATION AND TRYOUT COULD USE STUDENT RESPONSES TO REVISE AND IMPROVE A TELEVISION LESSON, (2) METHODS OF ELICITING ACTIVE STUDENT RESPONSE DURING INSTRUCTION COULD INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF LEARNING, AND (3)…

An audio-tutorial approach for an art history course taught at San Jose State College in the fall semester 1973 is evaluated by the Project Director and by an Evaluation Consultant. The teaching method combines several techniques: a weekly film presentation, filmstrips and audio tapes to be used in individual audio-tutorial sessions, a study guide…

PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations) is an individualized teaching method where both student and teacher'' communicate and interact with each other. (Author/PG)

The meanings and interrelationships of simulation, gaming, programed learning and educational technology are considered. Three criteria are put forward for ascribing meanings to such terms. Gaming and simulation are found to have distinct but compatible properties. Program learning and educational technology are viewed as a process, not a product.…

The use of microfiche as a means of programed self-instruction was examined in this study. Lessons adapted from a one-hour lecture on the slide rule were typed in large print in order to allow easy reading at distances normally used with microfiche readers. The 58 pages of the course were reproduced on microfilm, strips of which were then inserted…
