These forms implement the management by objectives (MBO) program that is the subject of the cited ERIC documents. The forms can be used to implement a workable MBO system in office, bureau, department, division, agency, institution, school, or community. The forms are intended to provoke critical analysis rather than lengthy replies. As a general…

Describes the successful use of six simulated games in a commercial law class of 84 students and discusses teacher and student evaluation of their effectiveness. The six games, three with a legislative setting and three with a court setting, are included. (JT)

Rather than provide a general review of Dreyfus critique this article concentrates on certain fundamental criticisms that Dreyfus directs at the information-processing approach to cognitive psychology and points out the unique conception of what it means to understand cognition which separates a phenomenologist from the typical cognitive…

The ACT theory of the learning of procedures is described. ACT is a computer simulation program that uses a propositional network to represent knowledge of general facts and a set of productions (condition action rules) to represent knowledge of procedures. There are currently four different mechanisms by which ACT can make additions and…

The project described demonstrated not only the feasibility of producing a holographic compound spherical beamspliter mirror with full color response, but the performance and color capabilities of such a beamsplitter when incorporated into a Pancake Window Display system as a replacement for the classical glass spherical beamsplitter. This…

The study of the dynamics of physical systems is of importance to all engineering students. LSSP, a Linear System Simulation Program, is used to study the behavior of physical phenomena and systems which may be represented to a good degree of approximation by linear models. Emphasis is placed upon the unity resulting from the mathematical…

Time, space, money, and educational opportunities were the four major factors considered in upgrading the individual teaching labs at the University of Florida. The program incorporates the use of single processor microcomputers to teach a variety of courses. Software developed for a course on cognition and perception will set up a ready to run…
