A simulation study of a sequential computerized mastery test is carried out with items modeled with the 3 parameter logistic item response theory model. The examinees' responses are either identically distributed, not identically distributed, or not identically distributed together with estimation errors in the item characteristics. The…

They fail to analyze either the interaction between the content, learner, objectives, and medium, or how best to design the content for presentation through the medium. This paper…

FIFTH GRADE WORK SHOULD CONTINUE THE SEQUENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL UNDERSTANDINGS AND COMPUTATIONAL SKILLS. THE PROBLEMS APPROACH SHOULD BE USED SO CHILDREN MAY DISCOVER MATHEMATICAL TRUTHS AND ARRIVE AT GENERALIZATIONS. THE NUMBER SYSTEM UNIT SHOULD EMPHASIZE THE ABILITY TO READ AND WRITE NUMERALS TO SIX PLACES AND THE ABILITY TO READ…

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL SEQUENCES FOR ORGANIZING MATHEMATICS CONTENT IN ELEMENTARY GRADES FOUR, FIVE, AND SIX WERE IDENTIFIED USING AN EMPIRICAL BASE. VERTICAL SEQUENCES FOR THIS PROJECT PERTAINED TO SUBTOPICS WITHIN SEVERAL MATHEMATICS TOPICS USING THE LEVEL OF SUBTOPIC COMPLEXITY FOR THE CRITERION. THE DEGREE OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ADJACENT…

This study compared the effects of several presentation sequences on lesson performance to deterimine whether sequence has a significant effect on performance in computer-based instruction, and whether using the same sequence consistently is more effective than not being consistent. Thirty-six students from the Basic Electricity and Electronics…

This paper describes a system of classifying client responses in counseling interviews. The author begins his classification at Stage 1, where the client's self-evaluation and levels of independence and self-autonomy are so low he cannot admit he needs help, and delineates each stage of the client's reaction through Stage 12, the final step, where…

The effect on achievement of sequential organization of subject matter in programed instruction, the interaction of sequence with verbal ability, and the effect of two types of anxiety on learning were examined in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to either a group in which program frame sequence had been scrambled by means of a table of…
