Designed to accompany the student text, this guide presents lessons relating specific mathematical concepts to the interdisciplinary biomedical curriculum. Each lesson includes discussion of objectives, recommended class periods involved in the lesson, and a section of overview and remarks. Advice on teaching the concept, integrating the lesson…

The keynote address of a conference that focused on the future of women in science and engineering fields and the opportunities available to them in the computer sciences is presented. Women's education in the sciences and education and entry into the job market in these fields has steadily been increasing. Excellent employment opportunities are…

This 1966 Summer Institute for training educational research workers in statistical methodology attempted to convey concepts of statistical and analytic techniques, to provide instruction and experience in the use of high speed computers, and to guide trainees in the selection and application of techniques to their research work. The first session…

This survey of the field of Chinese language computational linguistics was prepared as a background study for the Chinese Linguistics Project at Princeton. Since the authors' main purpose was "critical reconnaissance," quantitative emphasis is on systems with which they are most familiar. The complexity of the Chinese writing system has presented…

University management has many and varied needs for effective computer services in support of their processing and information functions. The challenge for the computer center managers is to better understand these needs and assist in the development of effective and timely solutions. Management needs can range from accounting and payroll to…

In an effort to shed light on the questions surrounding the use and impact of computer-based information systems, the Special Projects Division of the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium undertook a field-based study of a computer-based information system that can process and produce information dealing with students, curriculum, personnel,…

Continuing technological advances in computers and communications make possible the integration of data systems and the exchange of data among them on an expanding scale. However, the full effect of these advances cannot be realized unless the need for uniform understanding of the common information (data elements) and their expression in data…

This paper, prepared for a symposium on the interface of computer sciences and statistics, addresses the use of computers in the teaching of statistics. Two principle means of integrating the fields of computer science education with education in statistics are identified: (1) integrating the content of statistics in courses on computers, and (2)…

The educational community is recognizing that it has had little direct control over or knowledge of educational data collection. The objective of this paper is to present a description of presently collected financial data collected by a state education department. An entity set model is used to create a relational view of the data to facilitate…

This thesis investigates the impact of computer Braille on blind professionals in terms of their need for, the availability of, and the cost of production of Braille transcriptions of serials. Related problems of an economic, legal, and educational nature are discussed as they impinge on the area of investigation. The thesis is in three parts:…

The AAMP (administrative abilities matched to problems) system is simply one or more school administrator(s) designated by the school system's computer information system as having those abilities, preferences, and characteristics required to solve a particular system problem. An AAMP is formed on the basis of information provided concerning the…

Selection and specification of a minicomputer time-sharing system to extend computer facilities for large scale computer-based instruction projects at the University of Texas at Austin are described. Two and a half years of implementation and operating experience are summarized followed by seven specific course applications of the minicomputer.…

The report was prepared by a member of the staff of the Management Information System for Occupational Education (MISOE). It constitutes a clear and precise statement of the tasks required to establish a "laboratory MISOE," as described in the Journal of Research and Development in Education (Winter 1974), to accomplish the purposes of…

The Pennsylvania State Department of Education developed an automated system in 1970 to facilitate meeting report requirements to the United States Office of Education. This system provides for computer processing of such information as labor market needs in planning vocational programs, standards for these programs, graduate followup, demographic…

Eighty college students with no computer programing experience were the subjects of a study to determine the effects of the use of advanced organizers and subject control of instruction on performance. Students either received a logical or a scrambled sequence of instructional frames on computer programing, were either allowed to alter the order…
