This report contains an analysis of the mechanisms that connect teaching processes to student achievement and the circumstances contributing to the establishment of treatment conditions in classrooms. The first section is focused on the way in which academic tasks operating in a classroom influence the quality of student learning. The second…

MCCRYSTAL, THOMAS J. – 1967
THIS STUDY IS CONCERNED WITH THE DEGREE TO WHICH OLDER AND YOUNGER ADULTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE INTERFERING EFFECTS OF PAST HABITS. TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT TO WHICH HYPOTHESES BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY INTERFERENCE THEORY HOLD FOR THE OLDER ADULT POPULATION, THESE HYPOTHESES WERE TESTED IN A NEGATIVE TRANSFER TASK, WHERE INCOMPATIBLE…

Schulz, Rudolph W. – 1969
The objectives of this study were to determine: (1) the variables that influence the learning of verbal material received by subjects via the aural modality, (2) how learning under conditions of aural reception compare with learning of the same materials under appropriately equivalent visual conditions, and (3) in what combinations learning is…

The purpose of this study was to determine if children's performance in solving verbally stated arithmetic problems varied when word clues were included or omitted. The sample consisted of 382 fifth-grade children enrolled in four schools of one school system. Twelve sets of problems were so constructed that each set contained two similar problem…

ROSEN, ELLEN F.; STOLUROW, LAWRENCE M. – 1964
IN ORDER TO FIND A GOOD PREDICTOR OF EMPIRICAL DIFFICULTY, AN OPERATIONAL DEFINITION OF STEP SIZE, TEN PROGRAMER-JUDGES RATED CHANGE IN COMPLEXITY IN TWO VERSIONS OF A MATHEMATICS PROGRAM, AND THESE RATINGS WERE THEN COMPARED WITH MEASURES OF EMPIRICAL DIFFICULTY OBTAINED FROM STUDENT RESPONSE DATA. THE TWO VERSIONS, A 54 FRAME BOOKLET AND A 35…

Jones, Marshall B. – 1968
The project gathered data on a number of experiments using a variety of tasks. The purpose was to show that there are conditions relevant to the differential composition o f a task and other conditions which are irrelevant. Invariances in level, slope, and regularing of pattern of intertrial correlations were found for cranking, a repetitive work…

Stankard, Martin, Jr. – 1968
The lack of tested models of the instructional process is the prime hindrance to significant management science in educational research. The nature of education, with long timelags between ultimate performance and present activity, makes the modeling most difficult. This paper reports on one of several efforts which have been made to develop…

McBride, Wilma, Ed. – 1966
Inquiry is a disciplined process by which individuals move from knowledge of concrete data to the formulation of abstract concepts. Television can serve the needs of inquiry, especially visual (as opposed to verbal) inquiry, if it can be made flexible enough to bring data into the classroom at the instant needed for making decisions or asking…

Cole, L.R. – Audio-Visual Language Journal, 1966
Some basic tenets of the audiovisual approach to language instruction are challenged in this article which considers the ways in which "meaning" is given to sound sequences. It is argued here that (1) the meaning of a sound sequence does not derive solely or primarily from visual stimuli, (2) that different parts of speech derive meaning in…

Schalock, H. Del – 1968
To provide effective instruction, a taxonomic framework is proposed which (1) includes all possible learner outcomes yet is understandable and manageable, (2) provides order to currently existing taxonomies of learner outcomes, and (3) facilitates instructional planning. Domains of organismic adaptation roughly corresponding to (1) the need for…

Rosenberg, Marshall B. – 1967
The author believes that when competent teachers are made aware of the individual differences that exist between children, they can, and will, individualize their approach to children. The intent of this book is to aid teachers in developing diagnostic-teaching skills in the service of this belief. Diagnostic teaching is seen as harmonizing the…

Gilman, David Alan – 1968
Studies which have utilized low-error-rate linear type programs have not been able to compare the effectiveness of various modes of feedback in correcting error in programed learning. In the present study using 75 university students, it was possible to correct errors without teaching erroneous material by using materials designed to teach 30…

Crawford, W. John; And Others – 1975
Elementary school teachers chosen for their effectiveness in consistently producing achievement gains in their pupils were observed to determine how difficult a teacher's questions should be for students to learn the maximum amount of material. The collected data, correlated with residualized student achievement gain scores (averaged over four…
