This document describes the Ohio Board of Regents' Uniform Information System which became operational during the fall term of 1966. Incoming data are received on punched cards or magnetic tape from 35 state-assisted universities and colleges, separately describing operating conditions at a total of more than 55 campuses. All incoming reports…

Network analysis models provide administrators with an opportunity to describe analytically an orderly process for planning, organizing, directing, and controlling personnel and resources needed for the accomplishment of objectives. (Author/MLF)

The "Traveling Salesman" and similar combinatorial programming tasks encountered in operations research are discussed as possible data analysis models in psychology, for example, in developmental scaling, Guttman scaling, profile smoothing, and data array clustering. A short overview of various computational approaches from this area of…

This study shows that high rehabilitation rates correlated significantly with large caseloads, high program expenditures, low expenditures per client, and shorter duration of clients in the program. In sharp contract, rehabilitants' salary correlate significantly with small caseloads, small program budgets, select clients, high training…

A methodology of game evaluation is developed to include both player performance and results of a written questionnaire. Using data of player performance, a model of the learning process provides results which match very well conclusions drawn from the questionnaire, hence providing considerable justification for the approach taken.

Contributes to a better understanding of operations research (OR) as it can be applied in educational research and planning. Following definitions of OR and educational planning, a brief overview of a general decision model used in OR studies is presented. (Author/DN)

Outlines some roles that teachers and students can assume in using systems planning tools in a school setting. (Editor)

New model formulations and solution methods are given for the Journal Selection Problem. The results are developed in a framework that can also accommodate problems with a somewhat different structure than the Journal Selection Problem, thus providing new solution strategies for these problems as well.

Summarizes the first phase of a federally funded study of 157 clearinghouses that store data on human services. Factors addressed include the tasks of a clearinghouse, its potential for overlap, its relationship to its parent organization, the types of product and services it provides, and how it uses its database. (FM)

Describes ways that language test design can be computerized, and illustrates some test construction methods derived from the field of operations research. (CB)

This report examines the issues associated with moves toward electronic-only publication of journals, based on interviews with academic librarians and journal publishers. Noting that publishers and libraries today find themselves in an extended transition zone between print-only and e-only journals, the report investigates forces driving change…

In this paper, the author argues that the pre-service secondary teacher education "paradigm shift" or "system overhaul" that has been implemented during the 2003-2005 time period in Ethiopia reflects the pursuit of pathways which the author refers to as a managerial approach. Grounded mainly on personal narratives of a key…
