The self-instructional booklet is designed to teach basic concepts of graphical kinematics if a step-by-step procedure is followed through the various frames. Each frame is composed of three main parts: (1) a statement of information, (2) a problem to be solved or a statement to be answered, and (3) the correct response. The answer sheet form and…

THIS PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION TEXT WAS DEVELOPED FOR USE IN AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY. APPROXIMATELY 600 INSTRUCTIONAL STEPS PRESENT THEORY ON ELECTRIC CIRCUITS, ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, AND RADIO CIRCUITS. EACH STEP REQUIRES THE COMPLETION OF A STATEMENT WITH AT LEAST ONE WRITTEN ANSWER. THE LABORATORY EXERCISES WHICH ACCOMPANY THIS TEXT HAVE THE…

Using an accompanying, specified film that consists of 10-second pictures separated by blanks, the learner can, with the 203-step, self-correcting questions and answers provided in this program, come to understand the fundamentals of lighting in photography. The learner should, by the end of the program, be able to describe and identify the…

RESEARCH IN PROGRAMMED LEARNING REVEALS THAT IT IS USUALLY NO MORE EFFICIENT THAN THE USUAL STUDY-READING, AND IS ALWAYS MORE CLUMSY AND EXPENSIVE. TRIAL OF AN ALTERNATE AUTOINSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURE IS REPORTED. ISSUES OF LEARNING THEORY AND EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE ARE RAISED. A PROGRAMED SET OF 1110 WORDS WAS CONVERTED TO SIX SUCCINCT PARAGRAPHS…

The text is divided into seven study units: (1)…

THE NEW YORK CITY SCHOOL SYSTEM'S EFFORTS IN PROGRAMED INSTRUCTION ARE DISCUSSED. IN THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS, EXPERIMENTS ARE BEING CONDUCTED WITH DOUBLEDAY'S "TUTOR TEXTS" ON COMPUTER MATHEMATICS, THE TEMAC MATERIALS, AND THE UNITED STATES INDUSTRIES'"AUTO TUTORS." IN THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS, SPECIALISTS ARE DEVELOPING…

THE AUTOINSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS IN THIS TEXT WERE PREPARED FOR USE IN AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY, OFFERING SELF-TUTORING MATERIAL FOR LEARNING ATOMIC PHYSICS. THE TOPICS COVERED ARE (1) NUCLEAR BINDING ENERGY, (2) DISCOVERY OF RADIOACTIVITY, (3) RADIOACTIVE RADIATIONS, (4) ALPHA AND BETA DECAY, (5) BETA DECAY REACTIONS, (6) RADIOACTIVE DATING AND…

OBJECTIVES OF THIS STUDY WERE (1) TO STIMULATE THINKING ON THE PART OF STUDENTS BY EMPLOYING NEW FORMS OF AUTOINSTRUCTIONAL SEQUENCES AND (2) TO SEEK INCREASED UNDERSTANDING OF THOUGHT PROCESSES. IN PHASE ONE LINEAR PROGRAMS WERE ANALYZED TO IDENTIFY CHARACTERISTICS OF THOSE PROGRAMS THAT INCREASED ACTIVE RESPONSE BY THE STUDENT. THE ANALYSES…

This self-study book contains 25 lessons in practical mathematics. The lessons include: (1) multiplication and division of whole numbers; (2) the four basic operations with fractions and decimals; (3) understanding mathematics symbols; (4) using formulae and solving and checking simple equations; (5) percentage problems and applications; (6)…

THIS STUDY SOUGHT TO IDENTIFY THOSE PROGRAM CHARACTERISTICS WHICH PRODUCE MAXIMUM LEARNING WITH SELF-TUTORING DEVICES. AIMS OF THE 2-YEAR PROJECT WERE (1) TO DEVELOP PROCEDURES FOR ANALYZING SUBJECT MATTER FOR CONVERTING IT INTO PROGRAMED LEARNING SEQUENCES, AND (2) TO CARRY OUT EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISONS BETWEEN SELECTED VARIATIONS OF PROGRAMED…

This programed textbook introduces Russian imperfective verbs of motion. The text explains the verbs and includes questions in the text with blanks for the student to fill in. The answers are found on the following pages. The book is devoted primarily to five major Russian verbs of motion (those of locomotion and conveyance) in their determinate…

Programed materials for library education created between 1960 and 1974 are identified. Material included must be some kind of self-paced instructional sequence concerned with library education. Therefore, the scope of the bibliography includes as many aspects of librarianship as there are programed materials to teach it. The materials listed…
