This paper discribes the analysis of data in the Management Implications of Team Teaching Project (MITT). It touches on the interviews conducted with teachers and principals, presents the breadth of information obtained in the questionnaire, and explains how the data were aggregated and how issues were grouped. Information collected in the…

This is the report of a conference which was initiated by the National Science Foundation's Office of Computing Activities and which explored and summarized current thinking about the role of the computer for undergraduate curricula in the physical and mathematical sciences. The conference focused on deciding which goals of the existing…

Descriptions of essential computer elements, logic and programing techniques, and computer applications are provided in an introductory handbook for use by educators and students. Following a brief historical perspective, the organization of a computer system is schematically illustrated, functions of components are explained in non-technical…

The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID) established a committee to study the applicability of SIGI's (System of Interactive Guidance and Information) occupational data base to NTID's curriculum research and career counseling needs. (SIGI is an Educational Testing Service--ETS--system which applies computer technology to assist hearing…

The 1975-1976 year was the second year of a demonstration of the feasibility of a computerized retrieval system for providing occupational and educational information to students in City University of New York community colleges. Although first year results were encouraging in terms of counselor and staff reactions, the amount of computer use was…

This is a collection of papers presented at an annual conference of the College and University Systems Exchange (CAUSE). Thirty-one papers are reproduced in their entirety and 39 are presented as abstracts. Of the 31 complete papers, 12 have been individually abstracted for "Resources in Education" (RIE). The major topics of the…

Comprehensive Achievement Monitoring (CAM), developed at Stanford University in 1967, was introduced into a pre-algebra course in Moanalua High School in Hawaii to help teachers by providing information on the progress of individual students and of the total class. The computer package is used to correct each student's answer sheet and to prepare…

A conventional vocabulary test and two forms of a stradaptive vocabulary test were administered by a time-shared computer system to undergraduate college students. The two stradaptive tests differed in that one counted question mark responses (i.e., omitted items) as incorrect and the other ignored items responded to with question marks.…

This study empirically investigated the validity and utility of the stratified adaptive computerized testing model (stradaptive]developed by Weiss (1973). The model presents a tailored testing strategy based on Binet IQ measurement theory and Lord's (1972) modern test theory. Nationally normed School and College Ability Test Verbal analogy items…

An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the feasibility of using the teaching computer as a medium for involving people in community planning. A program on environmental issues was presented on the PLATO system to a non-random sample of citizens of Champaign-Urbana, Illinois. Civic and government leaders and interested citizens attended…

The School of Education of Syracuse University implemented EXPER SIM, a computer simulation program, in a graduate program in instructional technology. During a one-semester course each student planned a program of research, developed a proposal for at least one experimental study, collected simulated data using EXPER SIM, analyzed and interpreted…

This bibliography, the first one to be generated by the computer system of the Linguistics Documentation Centre, lists books and articles through 1972. Entries are not annotated, but additional descriptors are noted for many publications. Many entries are recorded as being abstracted and indexed in the ERIC system, and for these ERIC reference…

Initiated in the mid-sixties under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Uniform Migrant Student Record Transfer System (UMSRTS) was designed to maintain ready accessibility via computer data base to the health and academic records of migrant children. The National Committee on the Education of Migrant Children (NCEMC)…

An automated project for converting a library collection from Dewey Decimal to Library of Congress classification was compared with a manual reclassification project. The Joint University Libraries (JUL) of Vanderbilt University, George Peabody College for Teachers, and Scarrit College served as an example of manual reclassification. The JUL…

Two educational computer simulations are described in this paper. One of the simulations is STATSIM, a series of exercises applicable to statistical instruction. The content of the other simulation is comprised of mathematical learning models. Student involvement, the interactive nature of the simulations, and terminal display of materials are…
