The cooperative Navy/Air Force project described is aimed at the problem of image-flutter encountered when visual displays that present computer generated images are used for the simulation of certain flying situations. Two experiments are described which extend laboratory work on delay compensation schemes to the simulation of formation flight in…

This document presents a model for a simple transmission electron microscope for educational purposes. This microscope could demonstrate thermonic emission, particle acceleration, electron deflection, and flourescence. It is designed to be used in high school science courses, particularly physics, taking into account the size, weight, complexity…

To verify the assumption that research activities do not interfere with the normal instruction given to students in the demonstration school of the Kamehameha Early Education Program (KEEP), each class's educational and intellectual achievement was assessed, and comparisons were made with other classes in Hawaii. This report compares the results…

This learning module is intended to illustrate the functioning and uses of bridge circuits. The discussion and laboratory procedures suggested in the module presume familiarity with basic concepts of electronics such as voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, phase, and knowledge of such skills as breadboarding circuits from…

This publication is a safety handbook designed for science teachers of elementary and secondary schools. In an effort to insure prevention of accidents in school laboratories, it advocates careful planning, adequate experimental design, and the acquisition of correct laboratory techinques on the part of the teacher. The handbook gives instructions…

This book is a compendium of educational materials of interest to individuals involved in diagnostic radiologic technology. The book is divided into twelve sections. Each part corresponds to a subject area included in the curriculum guide for the American Society of Radiologic Technologists. Each section is subdivided into sections entitled:…

This document is an updated edition of an annual publication of the "Directory of Physics and Astronomy Staff Members," published by the American Institute of Physics, and covers the United States, Canada, Mexico and Central America. The directory contains 10 parts and 7 appendices. Part I through Part IV include the geographic listing of academic…

This compilation of selected articles from the "TESOL Newsletter" is devoted to various practical aspects of teaching English as a second language. The following articles are included: "In a Word...,""The Functional Approach to Language Teaching,""A Challenge to Traditional Teaching of Reading: A Thirty Year-Old Methodology Repudiated,""Tak (Th)em…

The objectives of this module include: (1) improving general arithmetic skills including whole numbers, fractions, and decimal fractions; (2) learning to compute averages; (3) strengthening knowledge of percent; (4) learning to locate needed information or statistical data; (5) reviewing or learning the use of the Pythagorean Theorem; (6)…

THE COMPUTER SYSTEM CONCEPT WILL BE DEVELOPED IN TWO WAYS--FIRST, A DESCRIPTION WILL BE MADE OF THE SMALL COMPUTER-BASED TEACHING MACHINE WHICH IS BEING USED AS A RESEARCH TOOL, SECOND, A DESCRIPTION WILL BE MADE OF THE LARGE COMPUTER LABORATORY FOR AUTOMATED SCHOOL SYSTEMS WHICH ARE BEING DEVELOPED. THE FIRST MACHINE CONSISTS OF THREE ELEMENTS--…

A BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR TEACHERS OF ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, COMPILED BY A CLASSROOM SPECIALIST IN THE DIVISION OF INDIAN EDUCATION IN ARIZONA, WAS PRESENTED. THE MATERIAL WAS ALSO RELEVANT FOR OTHER ETHNIC GROUPS. INCLUDED WERE PUBLICATIONS ON INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, TEACHING TECHNIQUES, LANGUAGE LABORATORIES, ADULT EDUCATION, SECONDARY…

THIS EXPERIMENT COMPARED MERITS OF FOUR COMBINATIONS OF AUDIO-ACTIVE, AND RECORD-PLAYBACK ARRANGEMENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL FRENCH LANGUAGE LABORATORIES FOR 120 SOPHOMORES MATCHED ON FIVE PREDICTIVE MEASURES. ACHIEVEMENT TEST SCORES, GRADES, AND RATINGS BY THREE INDEPENDENT JUDGES WERE STATISTICALLY ANALYZED. BEST PERFORMANCE WAS ACHIEVED BY THE…

AMONG THOSE THINGS THAT HAVE AFFECTED FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING PERHAPS ADVERSELY, THE LANGUAGE LABORATORY EXEMPLIFIES WELL THE EMPHASIS PUT ON TECHNOLOGY AND ELECTRONICS AND THE TENDENCY IN OUR TIME TO "TRAIN" A PERSON RATHER THAN TO "EDUCATE" HIM. THE LANGUAGE LABORATORY CAN BE USED TO HELP STUDENTS DEVELOP AUDIOLINGUAL SKILLS, BUT IT IN NO WAY…

IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE NATURE OF LANGUAGE AND THE PSYCHOLOGY OF LANGUAGE LEARNING, RESEARCH IN STRUCTURAL LINGUISTICS, AND NEWLY-DEVELOPED TECHNOLOGY HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT REVOLUTIONARY CHANGES IN LANGUAGE-TEACHING METHODS. TO ACHIEVE AN IDEAL METHOD, THE POSSIBILITIES INHERENT IN THIS PROGRESS MUST BE EMPLOYED, AND THE…

INFORMATION ON PLANNING AND DEVELOPING ADEQUATE AND ECONOMICAL VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE FACILITIES IS PRESENTED FOR ADMINISTRATORS, ARCHITECTS, AND OTHERS. IT INCLUDES (1) GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS, (2) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLASSROOM, LABORATORY, AND LIBRARY, (3) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FARM MECHANICS SHOP, SHOP STORAGE, AND SAFETY DEVICES, (4) EXAMPLES OF…
