Discusses an interactive computer algorithm which allows beginning students to solve one- and three-dimensional quantum problems. Included is an example of the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac central field approximation. (CC)

Discusses the use of a small computer to solve self-consistent field problems of one-dimensional systems of two or more interacting particles in an elementary quantum mechanics course. Indicates that the calculation can serve as a useful introduction to the iterative technique. (CC)

Describes a systems development process to organize and report the data needed to prepare a microcomputer program for evaluating library instruction programs in high school libraries and media centers. A flow chart illustrating the sample program and seven references are included. (JL)

Describes an industrial and engineering chemistry course organized on a case-study approach. The course theme is process conceptualization (creation of chemical processing routes). Flowcharts/flowcharting, quantitative aspects of industrial chemistry, teaching the course, use of patents, student evaluation, and useful references are discussed. A…

Examined the generalization of the attribution of attitudes. (Author)

Discusses trends from 1955 through 1976 on how public elementary and secondary schools spend their money. (Author/RK)

Several experiments investigated the effect of word length on recognition thresholds for both familiar English words and unfamiliar pseudowords, the thresholds measured both with and without a stimulus mask. (Editor)

A comprehensive faculty flow model developed to forecast a "committed resources index" analyzes the future flexibility of a university. The model's construction, implementation, and assessment are described. (Editor/LBH)

Describes a study in which tenth-grade biology students who were low verbal performers scored significantly higher on achievement tests when provided with picture-word diagrams of biological concepts than when provided with block-word diagrams. Students and teachers also preferred picture-word diagrams as indicated by a questionnaire. (MLH)

The results of two experiments were generally in substantial agreement with the idea that part-list cues or context words exert their damaging effect by competing with target words at retrieval. (Editor)

Describes the development of a policy at the University of Colorado to catalog, package, house, and circulate books with accompanying electronic media. Highlights include a literature review, motivation, a processing flowchart, retrospective conversion of older materials, and an example of a MARC record. (Author/LRW)

Presents a method to enhance the teaching of computer programing to secondary students that establishes a connection between logic, truth tables, switching circuits, gating symbols, flow charts, and pseudocode. The author asserts that the method prepares students for thinking processes related to programing. (MDH)
