The purpose of this study was to use an information theoretic memory model to quantitatively investigate classification sorting and recall behaviors of various groups of students. The model provided theorems for the determination of information theoretic measures from which inferences concerning mental processing were made. The basic procedure…

The questioning techniques which teachers use when leading a class discussion of a reading assignment can be an essential component of profitable instruction. A brief review of the past 50 years of research on questioning levels indicates a need for attention to the cognitive level of queries as well as to their sequence since investigators have…

The bibliography provides a chronological survey of the development, growth, and application of the concept of Functional Job Analysis (FJA) which provides for the formulation of qualifications of workers and the requirements of jobs in the same terms so that the one can be equated with measures of the other. An introductory section discusses FJA,…

The report presents the results of the third phase of a research program to develop a behavioral taxonomy of undergraduate pilot training (UPT) tasks and skills. The third phase effort consisted of surface analyses of 50 UPT flying training tasks to generate basic task descriptions. The surface analysis subdivided and defined task elements into a…

This catalog, describing a number of competency-based programs for the education and training of guidance and counseling personnel, is organized into two sections: educational programs and summary lists of competencies. Five areas of classification according to types of client needs are presented for each section: (1) Using Systematic Planning and…

This study examines the kinds of instruction that can be used in reading groups, thus providing a foundation for future related research on grouping. The problem was to describe and compare the reading instruction in reading groups by examining such variables as the number of reading groups, group size, the basis for organization, the materials…

This volume considers both the philosophical bases and the practical realities of individualization through the analysis of various approaches to the contract learning process. The first section serves as an introduction to contracting. Chapter 1 develops the concept of contract learning and attempts to set it in perspective within the larger…

The organizational factors in memory relevant to learning medical diagnosis terms are discussed in this paper. Two hypotheses are tested: that the type of list organization will affect total recall; and that the type of curriculum and year in school will affect the organization of recall. Ninety-six second and third year medical students from two…

Longitudinal support was obtained for a positive relationship between cognitive and social development. From a large sample of kindergarteners, three groups of 12 children of comparable age and IQ were selected as displaying substantial, moderate, or no mastery of Piagetian concrete operations. From kindergarten through second grade, the social…

The textbook cataloging and classification scheme described was developed to assist students in gaining easy access to the textbook collection of the Herbert H. Lehman College library. Textbooks are cataloged in three basic divisions: texts for grades 1-6, texts for grades 7-12, and texts which overlap or can be used at both the elementary and…
