One of the most interesting aspects of the application of systems science to university administration is the use of simulation models in institutional research. This paper treats the benefits, implementation and prognosis of computer-assisted university administration with particular emphasis on university planning and cost simulation models. The…

Discusses the use of Computer Assisted Instruction as the key factor in teaching reading successfully. (Author/SB)

The cost system designed as a sub-system of the Management Information System, to record and report cost data for occupational courses funded by the Illinois Division of Vocational and Technical Education, can stand alone if necessary, providing the flexibility essential to the success of the total system. (Flow chart included.) (Author/SA)

One hundred twenty-eight 11th grade male students were randomly assigned to a control group on one of three experimental groups: (1) computer-generated feedback on self-knowledge accuracy; (2) guidance taught on occupational classification scheme; and (3) a combination of (1) and (2). Measures of self-knowledge showed increased accuracy about…

Describes to those educators unfamiliar with the computer the ways it can be used as an instructional device in the schools. (Author/DN)

This study applies social judgment theory and interactive computer graphics to labor-management negotiations. Self-understanding and understanding of one's counterpart were found generally to be poor. Participants reported gaining new insights and indicated that the use of interactive graphics is feasible and desirable. (Authors)

Author examines the nature of computerezed simulation models and analyses its use in future research. (HB)

Details the present and projected utilization of computers in the educational process to show what a particular school of business is doing to upgrade its computer-related program. (Authors)

Computer graphics provides a valuable tool for the representation and a better understanding of structures, both small and large. Accurate and rapid construction, manipulation, and plotting of structures, such as macromolecules as complex as hemoglobin, are performed by a collection of computer programs and a time-sharing computer. (21 references)…

Two well-known computer specialists argue about the function of computers in schools. Patrick Suppes believes mastery of basic skills is the prime function of computers. Bob Albrecht believes computers should be learning devices and not drill masters. (DS)

Describes some recent developments in computer programing taking place in Australia in the field of educational testing. Topics discussed include item banking and computer-assembled tests, test scoring for multiple choice and open-ended tests, item and test analysis, and test reporting. (Author/DN)

Out of an enrollment challenge faced by Thomas More College has emerged a system that could help other small institutions. (Author)

Describes simulation models that can meet the requirements of determining objectives and allocating resources for a college's individual needs. (Author)
