O'Hara, Takeshi; And Others – 1978
Path analysis was used to reanalyze Kropp and Stoker's data from tests designed to evaluate Bloom's taxonomy of educational objectives in the cognitive domain. Scores for 1,128 students in grades nine through twelve were analyzed separately by grade level for four content areas on six taxonomic levels. A measure of general ability was also…

Savage, Tom V. – 1980
The uses of various research designs in educational research are discussed. Research methodologies such as social anthropology, path analysis, classroom observation, historiography, interaction analysis, and statistical analysis are described. The educational settings in which each of them would be an effective research tool are illustrated. (JD)

Bean, John P. – 1979
The shortcomings of current research on student attrition are reviewed, and ways are described in which multiple regression, path analysis, and a recursive causal model can be used to better understand attrition. A review of the research shows that past theoretical models lack an adequate definition of variables which have resulted in their being…

Piele, Philip; Wright, Darrell – 1976
Through computer simulation activities, building designs can be tested and evaluated before construction begins, alternatives developed, and cost-benefit ratios analyzed. Annotations of 15 publications in the ERIC system that involve the use of computers and school planning are contained in this digest. (Author/MLF)

Case, C. Marston – 1969
The application of a PERT system to a large-scale project will increase the probability of accomplishing project objectives by providing greater visibility of (1) the project objectives, (2) the relationships among the parts of the projects, and (3) the relationships of those component parts to the project objectives. Consequently, educational…

Dunn, Thomas G.; Hansen, Duncan – 1972
Visuals, like pictures, charts, diagrams, graphics, and the like, are widely used in education. However, there is little justification in the research literature for their use. The overall purpose of this exploratory study was to find out more about the processing of visuals or graphics in an educational task. Specifically, it was thought that…

Bergan, John R.; Parra, Elena B. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1979
Effects of language of administration on IQ and predictions of letter learning and achievement were investigated for Anglo and bilingual Mexican American preschool children. Significant IQ differences were associated with language of test administration. No significant differences among predictions of letter task performance were obtained for…

Barker, Bruce O.; Petersen, Paul D. – 1984
This paper explores the fault-tree analysis approach to isolating failure modes within a system. Fault tree investigates potentially undesirable events and then looks for failures in sequence that would lead to their occurring. Relationships among these events are symbolized by AND or OR logic gates, AND used when single events must coexist to…

Smith, Nick L.; Murray, Stephen L. – 1978
Path analysis, a technique related to multiple regression analysis is used for ascribing causal relationships among variables. Path analysis involves the construction of explicitly formulated causal models and makes the reasoning explicit in the form of path diagrams and structural equations. Regression analysis is then used to construct path…

Bellenger, Joseph; And Others – 1978
Based on the procedures, materials, and resources used in "A Study of the Feasibility of Vocational Modules", this manual is one of the products of the study. Since guidelines for feasibility studies in the areas of public services that relate to human behavior are not clearly defined, it is hoped that this manual will guide, support,…

Knezevich, Stephen J., Ed. – 1969
In this era of rapid social change, educational administrators have discovered that new approaches to problem solving and decision making are needed. Systems analysis could afford a promising approach to administrative problems by providing a number of systematic techniques designed to sharpen administrative decision making, enhance efficiency,…

Porter, Bette C., Ed. – 1972
Volume II is a compendium of the major existing literature that (1) describes the activities performed in educational RDD&E; and (2) presents the frameworks or models that have been used to define, describe, differentiate, and relate educational RDD&E. The volume serves as a basic literature source for the design and implementation of new training…

Shoemaker, William A. – 1973
A systems approach to college administration and planning is probably the most valuable tool available for coping with the complex problems facing institutions of higher education today. A system is defined as a set of interrelated elements, units, or subsystems that work together toward a common goal. If a college functions as a system, the…

Woehrle, Trisha; Fox, Susan; Hoskin, Brenda – Ontario Action Researcher, 2005
Principals are always looking for effective ways to enhance the learning environment. The Balanced School Day (BSD) schedule, an alternative to the traditional schedule, reframes the school day by eliminating recess and lunch breaks and providing two scheduled nutrition breaks. Advantages and disadvantages to the schedule have been anecdotally…
