This bibliography lists publications describing the scope, time span, depth, variety, and relevance of the satellite work done by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences from 1958 through 1976. Works cited are listed by author with six categories: propagation, antennas, modulation or signal design, electromagnetic interference and frequency…

The simulation of a sampled-data system is described that uses a full parallel hybrid computer. The sampled data system simulated illustrates the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) discrete control of a continuous second-order process representing a stirred-tank. The stirred-tank is simulated using continuous analog components, while PID…

Described is a one-day program providing those persons implementing Individually Guided Education (IGE) programs with a simulated experience of applying an Instructional Programming Model (IPM) to a curricular area. The goal is to develop the major concepts and skills necessary to operationalize an IPM. Information is provided on the program…

This document describes a system that has been developed to use a digital computer graphics terminal for interactive analysis of piecewise continuous systems of nonlinear differential equations. This program allows even a novice user to freely investigate the behavior of control systems and solutions of differential equations by changing initial…

The total system capability, including all the special purpose and general purpose hardware comprising the Airborne Electro-Optical Sensor Simulation (AEOSS) System, is described. The functional relationship between hardware portions is described together with interface to the software portion of the computer image generation. Supporting rationale…

A teacher's experiences in acquiring realia (mostly food-related) for her junior high school French classes are described. The collection of realistic props proved to be both a small adventure in itself and the source of a rewarding change in classroom instruction. The use of a simulated store, in which students bought and sold the imitation food,…

This paper concerning the development of simulation materials for training correctional counselors in family counseling is oriented toward developing sequential counseling materials which will have positive consequences for the trainees' use. An offender family counseling training module is presented utilizing a series of transparencies depicting…

THE STUDY ATTEMPTED TO DETERMINE (1) WHETHER THE DRIVING SKILLS, ATTITUDES, AND KNOWLEDGE OF STUDENTS TAUGHT BY A MOVIE-SIMULATOR CENTERED COURSE DIFFERED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THOSE OF STUDENTS TAUGHT BY DUAL-CONTROL CAR CENTERED COURSE SUPPLEMENTED BY THE SIMULATOR FILMS WITHOUT THE USE OF THE SIMULATOR AND (2) WHETHER INSTRUCTIONAL TIME IN THE…

A NUMBER OF PILOT STUDIES WERE CONDUCTED IN AN EDUCATIONAL INNOVATIONS SEMINAR HELD IN 1965 AT THE INSTITUTE OF GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS, UCLA, TO EXPLORE THE POTENTIALITIES OF APPLYING DELPHI TECHNIQUES TO PROBLEMS OF EDUCATIONAL PLANNING. THE RESPONDENTS FOR THESE EXPERIMENTS SUGGESTED SPECIFIC EDUCATIONAL INNOVATIONS AND BUDGET ALLOCATIONS…

THESE GUIDELINES REPRESENT A TEXTBOOK FOR INSTRUCTION IN THREE PHASES OF TRAINING SITUATION ANALYSIS (TSA), A STANDARDIZED PROCEDURE DEVELOPED BY THE NAVAL TRAINING DEVICE CENTER FOR SYSTEMATICALLY GATHERING AND INTERPRETING THE INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE PLANNING OF TRAINING AND TRAINING DEVICES. THREE PHASES OF TSA ARE DESCRIBED IN…

A PROGRAM TO TEACH DECISION-MAKING SKILLS TO NINTH AND 11TH GRADE STUDENTS USING LOCAL RESEARCH DATA, VISUAL AIDS, AND OTHER MATERIALS WAS UNDERTAKEN. IN GROUP GUIDANCE SESSIONS, THESE PROBLEMS WERE DISCOVERED--(1) SOME DECISIONS ARE NEVER CONSCIOUSLY MADE, (2) THE EMOTIONAL BASES OF DECISIONS ARE NOT CONSIDERED, (3) MANY STUDENTS AVOID MAKING…

AN ESTIMATE WAS OBTAINED OF THE EFFECTIVENESS WITH WHICH THE SIMULATED ENVIRONMENT MODE CAN BE USED TO TEACH CERTAIN UNITS IN EIGHT DIFFERENT SUBJECT AREAS--ART, BIOLOGY, CHEMISTRY, ELECTRONICS, ELEMENTARY PHYSICS, FRENCH, MUSIC, AND ECONOMICS. THE SPECIFIC MODE USED WAS A SPECIAL CASE OF SIMULATION IN WHICH THE USEFUL FEATURES OF VARIOUS LEARNING…

THE PURPOSE WAS TO DETERMINE THE EFFECTS OF CLASSROOM SIMULATION ON THE ATTITUDES OF EDUCATION MAJORS TOWARD TOPICS IN EDUCATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY. EXPERIMENT 1 SOUGHT TO DETERMINE THE MAGNITUDE OF ATTITUDE CHANGE AS A RESULT OF SIMULATED EXPERIENCES. EXPERIMENT 2 REPEATED THE FIRST EXPERIMENT USING A REFINEMENT OF THE ATTITUDE INSTRUMENTATION AND…

A RESEARCH TRAINING CONFERENCE ON LEARNING WAS HELD FOR 37 PSYCHOLOGISTS AND EDUCATIONAL RESEARCHERS. THE 6-WEEK CONFERENCE CENTERED ITS ACTIVITIES ON SUCH TOPICS AS LANGUAGE LEARNING, COMPUTER SIMULATION, INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES DESIGN, ATTITUDE AND PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT, AND CURRICULUM EVALUATION. LECTURES AND TALKS WERE OFFERED BY…

Data on public sector superannuation plans in Ontario provide the basis for this examination of the current situation regarding the pension funds for public employees and teachers. The report describes and compares the employee/employer contributions, basic benefits, rates of return, and ratio of beneficiaries to contributors in various public…
