Vrooman, Hugh T.; Reed, Mary Jane Pobst – 1979
This report summarizes the findings and describes the products of a 2-part research project that examined the parameters of Washington's interlibrary loan cooperation statewide, and developed a set of computer models to be used in simulation studies of associated activities and policies. It contains a statement of the problem; an historical…

Lukco, Bernard J.; Disinger, John F. – 1981
Four fact sheets discuss topics of interest to environmental educators. Number one addresses the relative lack of effective evaluation of environmental education programs. It emphasizes the need to base evaluation on identified goals and objectives and cites an accepted goal statement. Two examples of evaluation methods are given as well as…

Ehrlich, Lisa R. – 1979
This paper discusses evaluation design considerations for a computer based evaluation simulation developed at the University of Iowa College of Medicine in Cardiology to assess the diagnostic skills of primary care physicians and medical students. The simulation developed allows for the assessment of diagnostic skills of physicians in the…

Harrison, George – 1980
Dissatisfaction with existing preschool teacher training programs, which overemphasize educational theory and neglect practice teaching, led to the development of the preschool teacher training program described in this paper. Initial activities of the program involve group dynamics principles and human relations training to assist students to…

Ree, Malcom James; Jensen, Harald E. – 1980
By means of computer simulation of test responses, the reliability of item analysis data and the accuracy of equating were examined for hypothetical samples of 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 subjects for two tests with 20 equating items plus 60 additional items on the same scale. Birnbaum's three-parameter logistic model was used for the simulation. The…

Jaycox, Kathleen M. – 1979
This paper is written to familiarize present and future English teachers with the current status of computer assisted instruction (CAI) in the teaching of English. Addressed both to practicing teachers who have little understanding of computers, and English education majors with computer science minors, it deals with programs written in BASIC. The…

PORTER, DAVID L.; AND OTHERS – 1965
THE EDUCATIONAL EFFECTS OF A MULTISTATION, MOTION PICTURE, ELECTRONIC DRIVING SIMULATOR WERE STUDIED. THE SIMULATOR PROVIDED IMMEDIATE KNOWLEDGE OF RESULTS (FEEDBACK) USEFUL FOR ADJUSTING STUDENT DRIVING BEHAVIORS. THE STUDY INCLUDED 400 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, RANDOMLY ASSIGNED TO EITHER AN EXPERIMENTAL OR A CONTROL GROUP. FOUR INSTRUCTORS TAUGHT…

SCHALOCK, HENRY D.; AND OTHERS – 1964
THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT, WHEN STIMULI PRESENTED IN TESTS TO RESPONDENTS INCREASE IN THEIR APPROXIMATION TO THE COMPLEXITY OF RELATED LIFE BEHAVIOR, EFFICIENCY OF TESTS IN PREDICTING LIFE BEHAVIOR WILL ALSO INCREASE. THE STUDY WAS CARRIED OUT IN THE CONTEXT OF TEACHER EDUCATION, WITH ACTUAL CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR OF…

Rouse, William B.; And Others – 1980
A series of six experiments was conducted to increase understanding of human performance on diagnostic tasks, and in the process to investigate the feasibility of using context-free computer-based simulations to train troubleshooting skills. Three simulated diagnostic tasks were developed: a simple context-free task, a complex context-free task,…

National Education Association, Washington, DC. Project on Utilization of Inservice Education R & D Outcomes. – 1977
The teacher program described here was designed to create a deeper understanding of a wide span of instructional problems unique to the inner-city school setting, putting participants in a position of forming teaching strategies of their own as solutions. Such school problems as overcrowded classes, frequent daily interruptions, playground…

Epstein, Kenneth I.; Steinheiser, Frederick H., Jr. – 1978
A multiparameter, programmable model was developed to examine the interactive influence of certain parameters on the probability of deciding that an examinee had attained a specified degree of mastery. It was applied within the simulated context of performance testing of military trainees. These parameters included: (1) the number of assumed…

Hicks, Diana; Murphy, Dermot – 1979
The experience of two teachers of English as a second language (ESL) in using simulation is described. Their success in developing communicative competence in young adult remedial ESL students is attributed to the fostering of realistic (i.e., lowered) self-expectations of achievable communicative ability. In developing specific language skills to…

Gallegos, Margaret – 1977
MODIA (Method of Designing Instructional Alternatives) was developed to help the Air Force manage resources for formal training by systematically and explicitly relating quantitative requirements for training resources to the details of course design and course operation during the planning stage. This report describes the Resource Utilization…

Kutina, Kenneth L.; Bruss, Edward A. – 1979
A computer-based simulation model is described that can be used in an interactive mode to analyze the effects of alternative hiring, promotion, tenure granting, retirement, and salary policies on faculty size, distribution, and aggregate salary expense. The model was designed to be adequately flexible and comprehensive to incorporate the array of…
