Introduction
The U.S. Office of Education (USOE) is amajor source for the support of computer activitiesin education. For more than 6 years, USOE hasfunded computer and computer-related projects(that is, projects that involve computers in somesignificant way) at every level of education in aneffort to meet the needs of administrators, teachersand, most important, of students. During this pe-riod, it has funded more than 500 projects whichutilize computers in a variety of ways, indudingfor direct tutorial presentations, problem solving,simulation, testing, vocational guidance, instruc-tional management, data analysis, informationstorage and retrieval, library services, a wide rangeof administrative and organizational uses, as wellas other applications, and has encouraged theformation of networks and consortia for joint useof computers.
In order to properly assess its patterns of sup-port for projects involving computers, one mustkeep in mind that the USOE must be responsiveto the broad educational needs of the Nation and,as such, it has been organized to meet those needs
in an effective way. The USOE is composed ofnumerous bureaus and national centers, each ofwhich focuses its activities on a particular level orarea of education, such as vocational education,elementary, secondary, and higher education,libraries, research, development, education for thehandicapped, and others. Virtually every bureauand national center, at some time, has supportedcomputer activities that have the potential to meetneeds in its area of concern. Computer applications,therefore, have been supported in relationship toparticular educational problems, rather than inaccordance with a central plan which marks thedevelopment of computers as a special concern.Even with the focus on educational problems,rather than on the means to solve them, it is im-portant that a record be made of USOE's supportof computer and computer-related projects. Thisis made necessary by the potential computers forimproving education, the need for educating peo-ple about computers, and the major role USOEhas already had in fostering the application ofcomputers in education.
1
The Growth of Computers in EducationComputers are today affecting virtually every as-
pect of life in the United States. They are involvedin the printing of newspapers and the productionof steel, in the control of traffic lights and the pre-diction of election returns, in the spacing of planesin flight patterns, and in the launching and orbit-ing of satellites.
It is, therefore, not surprising that the use ofcomputers in the schools and colleges of theUnited States is growing rapidly. In 1962, the ex-penditures for computers in higher education was$49 million. Seven years later those expenditureshad increased sevenfold to an estimated $352 mil-lion in 1969.1
As shown by a recent survey,2 there appears tobe widespread availability of computers in second-ary schools. Of 12,396 responses received from the23,033 secc ndary schools in the continental UnitedStates, 34.4 percent reported using the computerfor instruction or administration. Of the total re-spondents, 30.5 percent stated they were using com-puters for administrative purposes and 12.9- per-cent of the schools reported instructional uses.Although a check of the geographic dispersion ofuser schools showed them to cluster around major

metropolitan areas, the schools were distributedacross the entire nation with each of the continen-tal-48 States reporting some user-schools.
However, one should not be misled by the largepercentage of secondary schools using computers.Much of this appears to involve a very limitednumber of teachers and students. A survey con-ducted in 1967, revealed that only 1.9 percent ofthe secondary teachers interviewed had ever used acomputer terminal.3 While many schools appear tohave access to computers, the degree of utilizationby classroom teachers is still very small.
Several recent forecasts indicate that the educa-tional use of computers will continue to grow. ABELL CANADA study* has projected that applica-tions of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) alonewill be used in 20 percent of the elementaryschools of North America by 1978; in 20 percent ofthe secondary schools by 1975; and in 20 percent ofthe colleges and universities also by 1975. Predic-tions indicate that more than half of the secondaryand postsecondary schools will adopt CAI systemsby the mid-1980's. This rate of involvement of2chools with computers will be even more rapidwith applications other than CAI.

A Summary of USOE SupportSince 1965, the U.S. Office of Education has pro-
vided more than $161 million in finding for morethan 500 computer and computer-related projects.These figures do not include funds for projectssupported under title I of the Elementary and Sec-ondary Education Act (ESEA), nor for the inter-nal USOE data processing done far managementinformation purposes and for the statistical studiesperformed by and for the National Center for Ed-ucational Statistics. Truly, the USOE is heavily in-volved in the support of computer activities in ed-ucation.
The USOE support has been provided under 14different legislative titles and acts which are ad-ministered by almost every bureau and nationalcenter in USOE. Table 1 shows the distribution ofUSOE support, by legislation according to fiscalyears. One may note that tile two legislative au-thorities which have provided the principal sup-port for computer activities are title III of theESEA (which was administered jointly by USOEand the States through 1968, and since then hasbeen administered through the States) and the Co-operative Research Act (which is administered di-rectly by the USOE). These two authorities to-gether support about 80 percent of the computerand computer-related projects funded by theUSOE.
The 500-plus projects involve a wide range ofcomputer activities, such as instruction about andinstruction with computers, vocational guidance,administrative and data processing services, net-working, and many others. These activities havebeen grouped under ten categories, which are de-scribed in the next section. Table 2 gives the dis-tribution of support by category of activity accord-ing to fiscal years.
There are several things to note about this table.First, the ten categories have been divided into twogroups which correspond to instructional andnon-instructional uses of computers. The instruc-tional group includes the use of computers inteaching, in vocational guidance and instructionalmanagement, curriculum development and evalua-tion, and the training of teachers about computers.
The non-instructional group covers all other appli-cations, including the use of computers for data de-velopment and analysis, intormation retrieval andlibrary services, school administration, planningand organization, and in networking. This divisioninto two parts is crude, but is a logical first attemptwith the fiscal records that are available.
Second, the sum of the support for the Iwogroups exceeds $161 million, which is the total ex-pended by USOE for computer projects. This is sobecause certain projects involve mere than onemajor activity. Since there has been no reasonableway to divide the cost of a project between its sub-activities, the total project expenditure was listedunder each category.
From an examination of tables 1 and 2 and fig-ures 1 to 5, which are derived from the tables, cer-tain trends in the pattern of USOE support forcomputer activities are discernable:
The total yearly support is decreasing(figure 1) .
The number of projects supported eachyear is decreasing (figure 1) .
The average yearly support per project isincreasing (figure 2) .
The total support provided by the Cooper-ative Research Act (the principle programadministered directly by USOE) is remain-ing relatively constant, while the supportfrom ESEA title III (now administered bythe States) is decreasing (figure 3) .
The average yearly support per computerproject provided by the Cooperative Re-search Act is increasing, while the averageyearly support provided under ESEA titleIII is decreasing (figure 4) .
The yearly support provided for instruc-tional and for non-instructional projects areboth decreasing (figure 5) .
These trends and the data from which they werederived are based on the records available at theUSOE. These records are not complete in all cases,especially for those programs, such as ESEA titles Iand III, which are administered by the States. If
5
these records were available, then certainly thenumber of projects i.lentified and the total supportprovided would increase. This might alter thetrends derived from the cumulative data. However,
6
it is probable that the trends based on average sup-port per project would remair. sane. A morecomplete discussion of the shortcomings of theanalysis is provided in appendix A.

Categories of SupportIn this report, the spectrum of educational uses
of computers has been divided into ten categories.The categories are not mutually exclusive, but arecomplete in the sense that each project supportedby USOE could be assigned to at least one cate-gory. While this division has been made to identifythe major thrusts of Office of Education support,many projects do not fit only in one category oranother. For instance, a project may involve thetraining of teachers to use an information retrievalsystem for the improvement of vocational guidanceto students throughout a region. In categorizingthe projects, each has been assigned to one or to aminimum number of categories which identify itsmajor computer activities.
The primary purpose of assigning the projects tocategories is to assist the reader in identifyingthose projects that are of most interest to him.Therefore, in making the assignment a compro-mise had to be made between relevance and preci-sion. It should be possible for the reader toquickly identify all of those projects that are of in-terest to him but, at the same time, the list he re-ceives should not contain many projects which falloutside of the scope of his interest. It is hoped thatan acceptable and useful balance has beenachieved.
I. Computer Presented Instruction
Projects in this category involve the use of acomputer for direct tutorial presentations. The cat-egory includes: computer assisted instruction in thenarrow sense of drill and practice or programmedlearning; individualized, self-paced instruction;evaluations of computer -bused instruction; researchin educational psychology; and the study of learn-ing as a student reacts to instruction presented bya computer. Most projects in this category involveon-line, time-shared computing.
2. Problem Solving in Instruction
This category incorporates the various uses ofthe computer as an aid to instruction. It includes:numerical analysis and the solution of equations,
14
as performed in courses of mathematics and sci-ence; models, as in economics; games and simula-tions; and the use of a computer to make other in-structional aids such as drawings, charts andmovies.
3. Instructional Guidance and Management
Projects in this category are concerned with theprocess of instruction, rather than its content. Tu-torial presentations are not given by the computer.Rather, projects in this category incorporate: com-puter managed instruction; vocational guidance;counseling; and computer administered tests.
4. Long-TerM Training and Curriculums
This category involves projects which are con-cerned with developing, evaluating and improvingcurriculums for training students in the use ofcomputers, both as part of a larger discipline, asmathematics, and as preparation for jobs in thecomputer field, as operators and programers. Theemphasis is on instruction about computers. Thiscategory also includes fellowship programs and theestablishment of long-term training programs, mostof which are normally conducted several times.
5. Short-Term Training
This category incorporates those training activi-ties which normally are conducted once for a shortperiod of time, as 3-days to 1 month, and whichhave a very specific objective.

This act authorizes funds for the support of sys-tematic educational research and related activities.The act as passed in 1954, authorized the Office ofEducation to enter into jointly financed coopera-
t
tive arrangements with universities, colleges, andState educational agencies for conducting research,surveys, and demonstrations in the field of educa-tion. The scope of the program was expandedby title IV of the Elementary and SecondaryEducation Act of 1965, by allowing support fordissemination, the construction and operation offacilities for research and related activities, and thedevelopment of programs to train educational re-searchers. Title IV also expanded the eligibilitycriteria for potential applicants.
The Cooperative Research Act may support theuse of computers in research projects of all types,including computer-assisted instruction, data proc-essing, etc. This has been one of the two main leg-islated authorities used to support computer-related projects by the Office of Education.

tests are concerned with the performance of stu-dents relative to each other but not with attain-ment of specific objectives of a training program;that is, they serve a normative but not a criterionfunction. They want to dc;,ign specific tests tor agiven set of curricular offerings with a given typeof student. The Metropolitan Area Testing Pro-gram Board and other participants will plan acomputer-based test-development center that canretrieve test items rapidly from a stored pool ofitems coded by content area and student character-istics. The projects will serve an estimated 170,000elementary and secondary school students.

Start date 01 Jul 64 End date 31 Dec 67Detailed behavioral analysis will be undertaken
to identify the points in beginning reading andmathematics curriculums that are particularly diffi-cult for culturally deprived children in the pri-mary grades to learn. Specifically, the investigationwill apply to obstacles encountered by these chil-dren in acquiring basic skills in reading andmathematics, and the use of behavioral analysisand automated devices as means to overcome theseobstacles. Emphasis will be placed on the prepara-tion of available written materials in a sequentialorder on the preparation of auditory material toaccompany the written materials. Behavioral analy-sis of student responses to curriculums will be ac-complished by automated instrumentation. Bothvisual and auditory curriculum materials will bepresented to pupils individually. Appropriate in-struments are to be provided for recording pupilresponses and response times. Given response se-quences will be applied to methods of analysismuch used in mathematical learning theory. Byproviding behavioral analysis in a setting that willbe designed to accommodate individual differences,learning difficulties should be minimized.

Start date 01 Jun 65 End date 31 Dec 66The scheduling and registration of college stu-
dents is a major problem today. The use of com-puters in school scheduling has shown various indi-cations of being unable to react in real time and atlow cost to changing parameters. The need,therefore, is for a low cost flexible system capableof examining the gamut of variables at one time,and of responding rapidly to unexpected changesthat become evident only during registration. Thepurpose of this project is to investigate the use ofsuch a system, the prototype Beekley Insite Device,in school scheduling and registration applications.Instead of creating a mathematical model of a the-oretical school scheduling problem, the schedulingand registration procedures of the University ofPittsburgh Graduate School of Library and Infor-mation Sciences will be examined initially. Courseprerequisites and student schedule punched mylartapes will be prepared for analysis on the BeekleyInsite Device, and proposals for both student sched-ules and courses will be either verified or negated.Potential ramifications resulting from the manipu-lations of the variables will be studied in an at-tempt to optimize the schedules and to determinethe applicability of such a system to the real-timedemands of student registration.

Start date 24 Oct 66 End date 31 Dec 67Broadly conceived, the objective of this project
will be an investigation of the adequacy of statisti-cal models developed by Box and Tiao for the anal-ysis of time-series quasi-experiments. This investi-gation will involve the following (1) Theinvestigation of the Box-Tiao models as to theiradequacy as descriptions of time-series experimen-tal data, (2) Investigation of the possibility of ex-tension of the models of Box and Tiao to the analy-sis of multiple-group and dependent-grouptime-series quasi-experiments, (3) The develop-ment of computer programs for statistical analysisbased on the models, and (4) The application ofthe models to the analysis of actual time-series.quasi-experiments. Upon completion of this proj-ect, appropriate procedures for the analysis oftime-series quasi-experiments should be available.Drawing upon consultation with statistics and ex-perimental design experts, the principal investiga-tor will modify and adapt the mathematical statis-tician's models for analysis of the change of levelof a time-series to serve the purpose of analysis oftime-series quasi-experiments in education. Whensuitable means of analysis have been found, pro-grams for electronic computers will be written.The final, and most important step, will be theprocessing of examples of time-series quasi-experi-ments taken from the literature of experimentaleducation and psychology.

Theprogram will take projections of variables externalto a university which affect the staff and facilitiesrequirements and, through a set of complex rela-tionships, produce information which can be usedto evaluate conditions at various prescribed periodsof time. This program will provide the opportu-nity to observe the effects on a university of differ-ent projections of such external variables as thecharacter of the student body, students' objectives,level of research activity and services, and activitiesprovided by the university. It will also providean opportunity to manipulate endogenous varia-bles in order to see how the manipulations alterrequirements. Examples of the latter would in-clude student-faculty ratios and office space stand-ards. After adjustment and review of the program,it is anticipated that it could be used as a usefullong-range planning tool.

Start date 15 Sep 66 End date 14 Sep 67The concern of this effort will be the extent to
which probability distributions of commonly com-puted statistics vary from established theoreticalmodels as a result of violations (to varying de-grees) of the continuity condition. A number ofstatistical procedures will be compared on theirusefulness in educational and psychological re-search where gross statistical categorizations oftenoccur because of model precision limitations. How-ever, no statistical model is capable of infinite pre-cision or complete continuity when used to catego-rize nonparametric (distribution-free) statistics.Computer-sampling procedures will be used todraw samples from several hypothetical distribu-tions of population. The student T, Mann-Whit-ney U, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and median statisti-cal procedures will then be applied to selecteddistributions and compared under continuity con-ditions and several degrees of violation of that con-dition. The expected results will be useful inchoosing comparison procedures and providingleads for useful adaptations and changes in statisti-cal procedures.

The language samples were gatheredfrom 207 students who were selected to represent acomplete range of the socioeconomic, intellectual,ethnic, and sex distribution of pupils in Oakland,California. Interviews that were individually con-ducted with each pupil were recorded each spring.These structured interviews, that included conver-sation in response to questions and interpretationsof a set of six pictures, were transcribed in con-formance with a special set of rules. Each subject'slanguage will be analyzed in term of 13 factors.The principal component score for grades 1-3 willbe used to determine the subjects' language profi-ciency at the beginning of their school training,and a study will be made to determine how wellthese scores predict the student's proficiency ingrades 10-12. A secondary objective is to relatethe principal component scores to the variables ofsex, ethnic background, socioeconomic status, IQ,and teacher rating on spoken language. All datahas been scored and placed on IBM cards. Statisti-cal analysis will be performed by computer usingsome existing programs and some yet to be writ-ten.

The influence of the family, peers, and theschool, in the process of socialization of preadoles-cents, and adolescents will be explored to deter-mine the relative importance of the effects of eachof these primary units. The study will attempt toanswer these questions (1) Is the parent, peergroup, or the school most important to the preado-lescent?, (2) which of these units is most impor-tant to the ad,,lescent?, (3) Does the importance ofeach social unit increase, remain stable, or decreaseover time?, (4) What are the perceptions of preado-lescents and adolescents concerning the roleexpectations of their parents, their best friends,and their teachers for both current and futureroles?, and (5) What is the effect of each social uniton behavior? A pretested and precoded question-naire will be administered to all students in thesixth, ninth, and 12th grades in one community inSouthern Oregon. These grades were selected be-cause they were seen as important crisis points forthe child in terms of both current and anticipatoryrole identity. A questionnaire will also be filledout by the parents and the teacher of each child.Number coding will permit identification of thefamily unit and complete anonymity will be as-sured. Statistical analysis will be performed bycomputer. Results of the study are expected to as-sist in relating existing theory and research to pro-vide a more systematic explanation of the influenceof sociocultural factors on attitudes and behaviors.

The first task will be todevelop two automated problem sets on hexadeci-mal and symbolic programing for the student.This will be used to test evaluation techniques,and give both teacher and student practice withbasic machine language, computer commands, andfundamental programing techniques. Programs willbe developed for the effective execution of prob-lems, using the automated sets, and for instructorevaluation of the results. The last part of the studywill be an evaluation of teaching techniques by au-tomatic data processing methods. The computerwill be used to reduce data and run analysis ofvariance programs on these data. A student bodyof over 400 students enrolled in computer sciencecourses at the Florida Institute of Technology willbe the sample population used to evaluate the au-tomated problem sets.

This prior research efforthas resulted in the construction of a pilot projectof a thematic index of 4,000 melodies in the 16th-century Italian repertory known as "Frottola." Theproject's second year of work will include (1) con-tinued encoding and keypunching of large bodiesof 16th-century music plus the necessary computeroperations to organize the material into meaning-ful printed output, (2) continued development ofnew programs to permit more sophisticated cita-tions not only of duplications but also of similari-ties in melodic contours, and (3) expansion of co-operation among persons engaged in thematicindexing to develop "merging" of repertories fromother researchers. This research will provide tech-niques, information, and bodies of music for per-formance valuable in several areas of education.The music history researcher will have availablethe first large, truly workable index of a vast reper-tory of music intensively studied today. Also, themusic librarian will have a new bibliographicaltool to offer a broad public seeking specific infor-mation and identification in various repertories.

This effort is aimed tomake it possible to specify the procedures forachieving defined behavioral goals. The methodsdeveloped and to be further refined as they are ap-plied, incorporate the following steps: (1) Use ofan extended rigorous operational vocabulary; (2)Preparation from Psychological Abstracts of a setof IBM cards, one for each atc.zracted paper on ex-perimental research on learning and performance;(3) Computer-printout of bibliographies iskorpo-rating all the papers so summarized from Psycho-logical Abstracts, categorized within the appror-piate ones of approximately 100, selected from atotal of 200 identified conventional categories; (4)Study of the orginal papers, with detailed criticalanalysis of the methodology of each experimentfalling in a selected pertinent set of these catego-ries; (5) Simultaneous identical analysis of a set ofpapers randomly sampled from the psychologicalliterature; (6) Systematic summary in operationalnotation of the papers so selected from these bib-liographies; (7) Search among the products ofthese analyses for empirical results having directimplications for the methodology of (the opera-tions to be carried out in) the classroom; (8) Re-classification of the papers so examined on thebasis of the operations performed in them; (9)Analysis parallel to (4) and (6) above using solelyabstracts, and conventional rubrics; (10) the devel-opment of two sets of empirical generalizations,one bawd on operations and the other on conven-tional categories of thought, with relative evalua-tion of the two systems, especially with referenceto the comparative usefulness of the empirical gen-eralizations found, in their application *.o educa-tion.

This research is directed spe-cifically toward providing a theoretical answer tothe question of determining what item should beadministered to an examinee at each point in hisexamination sequence. This problem is structuredby assuming one of a number of models havingitem difficulty and possibly item discriminatingpower parameters. The Bayesian method, when de-veloped, will provide guidance as to the propercombination of these parameters and thus to theproper choice of an item. The Bayesian method issuperior to other methods in that it incorporatesnot only current knowledge of each examinee'sability but also knowledge of the general abilitylevel and spread of ability levels in the populationfrom which the examinee has been selected. This"new theory" is shown to be a natural extension ofregression theory for the classical test theorymodel, developed by Kelley more than twentyyears ago.

Start date 35 Jun 69 End date 29 Jun 71The purpose of this research is to perform
computer analysis and synthesis of complex musi-cal tones and to develop models of perceptual andlearning processes in music. Useful models of auralperception in music will be verified by comparingthe responses of a computer implementation withthe responses of appropriate human listeners. Anal-ysis of the physical attributes of sound (frequency,intensity, and harmonic content, versus time) willprovide necessary information about the musicalparameters of intonation, vibrato, dynamics, andrhythm. In order to analyze and synthesize com-plex musical tones a general purpose digital com-puter and appropriate analog devices will be uti-lized. The procedures will include thetransformation of audio tapes of music to digitaltapes (numerical data) via a high speed analog-to-digital converter system. Multivariate statisticaltechniques will be used to provide improved psy-chometric capability in the perceptual domain.The significance of this research is based on thebelief that (1) objectifying certain parameters ofmusical performance will have a ect bearing onbehavioral goals and methods its taasic education,and (2) an understanding of the total problem ofhuman information processing requires a detailedinvestigation of structured non-verbal stimuli inthe auditory mode.

Start date 1 Jun 69 End date 1 Apr 70The study examines computer assisted affective
feedback as a means of improving small group in-struction. Ten experimental and ten matched con-trol groups of four members each from a course inthe School of Education will be examined in a lab-oratory setting. Experimental and control groupswill be matched so that each pair has a commonhistory and phase development. Groups will meetand be given an incomplete case problem to ana-lyze for forty minutes. Experimental subjects willthen interact with the computer through teletypesleading directly to the machine. Results of theirideal behavior Q sort will be compared with theirperceptions of current group activity. Computerfeedback will give each stoup member an analysisof his affective reactions and the general reactionsof other subjects. Experimental groups will be toldto use the feedback in helping to guide their be-havior on a second case problem. Control groupswill ;nteract with the computer, be given no feed-back, and work on the second study. Measures ofquality of group interaction, quality of groupprod ct, and individ .al group member satisfactionwill be made during experimentation for all
groups. Hypotheses predict that experimentalgroups after computer interaction will showgreater improvement on these measures than willmatched control groups. Through computer analy-sis vague feelings should be reduced to specific re-actions with graded intensities. Affective channelsof communication will have been structured by thecomputer. Affective data along with cognitive taskoriented data will now become available for groupdiscussion. This added information should allowgroups to understand and guide interpersonal rela-tionships in ways which help achieve instructionalgoals. Continued improvements in computer hard-ware will make similar analyses more readily avail-able for improving instruction.

The following two independent variableswill be manipulated in order to vary the con-straints impinging on the behavior of decision-makers during pre-decisional search: (a) cost ofinformation; and (b) the perceived risk involvedin the decision. Measurements will be taken to de-termine the effects of these constraints on the fol-lowing dependent variables: (a) time required toprocess information and reach a decision; (b) se-quence of information items selected; (c) amountof information required hefore making the deci-sion; (d) change in type of information sought;and (e) certainty regarding the decision made.The subjects will be 108 elementary school princi-pals and will be assigned to a completely random-ized 3 X 3 treatment arrangement with the twofixed independent variables. The results of ire-measures on the dependent variables will be tested

with ANOVA for main and interaction effects, andorthogonal comparisons will be used to test signifi-cant differences obtained by the ANOVA. The re-sults of measures on four of the dependent %/aria-Wes (certainty excluded) , which are as.umed tocomprise the strategy of search behavior, will beanalyzed to determine whether a generalizable pat-tern exists for purposes of defining these strategies.The results of this study will provide informationon how administrators search for and utilize infor-mation in selection decisionmaking. By clarifyingthe relationship between the information base ofthe decision maker and his subsequent decisions, itwill be possible to develop training programs foradministrators which are aimed at improving theirinformation search and processing skills. If the re-liability and validity of the selection process canthus be improved, the quality of teachers selectedcan be assured, commensurate with the criteria ofthe district.

To date afile of over 30,000 melodies has been encoded andkeypunched to machine-readable music representa-tion. The file, by far the largest in the worldtoday, serves as a data bank for use by researchers._and as a base for testing and validating computerprograms designed to permit citations of borrow-ing, duplications, and concordances within and be-tween repertories. Support is requested for contin-uation of three activities described in the originalproposal: (1) encoding and keypunching of largebodies of 16th-century music plus necessary com-puter operations to organize the material intomeaningful printed output, (2) development ofnew programs to permit more sophisticated infor-mation retrieval, and (3) increase of cooperationamong persons engaged in thematic indexing bycontributing to the data bank of themes. In addi-tion, support is requested for a new phase of theproject. The Computer Center (Binghamton, NevYork) has placed an order with the IBM GlendakLaboratory for design of special music type facesfor the high speed printer. Continued support ofthis research will provide research techniques, in-formation, and bodies of music for music histori-ans, performers and educators in a wide range ofmusic.

Start date 1 Jun 69 End uate 30 May 70The Valley View School District will make an
in-depth study of variations and accompanyingconsequences for the "45-15" continuous schoolyear plan. The plan breaks up the long summervacation into four parts spread throughout theyear and staggered so that the school plant is incontinuous operation. It splits the total studentpopulation into four groups with each group inschool for 45 school days and then on vacation for15 school days four times a year. The advantages ofthe plan include: reduction of the number of stu-dents in school by-one-fourth, full-year employ-ment for teachers who want it, vacations for fami-lies in all seasons of the year, and reduction ofdropouts because of sustained contact with schools.Three versions of the schedules needed for theplan will be prepared, based on priorities ex-pressed by various individuals and groups in thecommunity. The schedules will then be subjectedto four types of detailed analysis: (1) feasibilityfor computer programing, (2) projected budgetneeds, (3) community relations, including the im-pact on teachers, and (4) comparison to other fea-sibility studies and available research. The analysiswill delineate more clearly other problems thatmay need attention before the plan is put into op-era t ion, suggest a possible evaluation design, andprovide information for other schools consideringcontinuous school year operations.

cific conceptual difficulties students have in intro-ductory calculus a. used by their inability to per-form certain necessary numerical computations bypencil and paper methods, particularly in the topi-cal areas of limits, extrema, functional evaluationand integration, and to prepare and evaluate com-puter programs to be used by students to do therequisite calculations to gain a basic understandingof these topics. To facilitate evaluation, behavioralobjectives will be written specifying for each se-lected topical area observable behaviors desired,conditions under which they will be observed, andappropriate performance criteria levels. Thus acareful experiment can . be designed and carriedout to test the effectiveness of computer use by stu-dents on their performance relative to these mathe-matical concepts. The procedure will be as follows:During 8 weeks of the summer, topics will be se-lected, objectives written and validated, computerprograms written and debugged, and the materialsprepared for student use. The materials will beused during the next school year, evaluation beingmade in terms of their effectiveness in producingdesired educational outcomes stated as objectives.The project may stimulate others to extend this ef-fort to an entire three-course sequence in introduc-tory calculus.

The two primary objec-tives of the study will be to develop a reliablemodel which will provide a consistent and objec-tive feedback to simulation exercises for school ad-ministrators and to expedite the collection andanalysis of data resulting from a situational in-bas-ket procedure. The model will be refined in apilot study with graduate students in educationaladministration, and then further tested with var-ious groups of administrators and potential admin-istrators who are participating in regional inserviceworkshops set up for the preparation and trainingof school administrators. For a reliability analysis,the scores from the computer-based feedback modelwill be correlated with a set of pretests measuringsuch attributes as professional and general knowl-edge, vocational interests, basic mental abilities,and basic personality factors. In addition, subjec-tive evaluations as measured by the "Teacher Re-action Form." the "Principal Behavior DescriptionQuestionnaire, and a form called "PerformanceRatings for School Principals" will be included.Moreover, scoring category and component scorescompiled from a Score Sheet Matrix obtained froma manual content 'analysis will be used to verify re-liability. It is hoped that the model will stimulatethe development of additional and improved simu-lation materials and that it will be useful in obtain-ing new information about administrative decision-making behavior and the cognitive and affectivecontext in which it takes place. Emerging from themodel should be further insights into the nature ofthe style of administrative performance, the quali-fication and selection of administrators, and theirpreparation and training.

Start date 16 Jun 69 End date 1 Jan 70The purpose of this study is to develop a system
of tone generation by digital and analog tech-niques and to test its feasibility and application tothe teaching of music. The completed system willbe tested at several grade levels, using both normaland exceptional children as subjects. Instead of theoften frustrating traditional approach to music ed-ucation, an objective of the study will be to dem-onstrate the usefulness of the tone-line (a graphicanalog of pitch and loudness) in teaching musicalconcepts. A computer-assisted method of presentingmusical concepts by means of graphs drawn by stu-dents and teachers is being developed. Develop-ment and testing of an operational system is pro-posed which will utilize a special purpose highspeed analog to digital, digital to analog converter,a general purpose digital computer (IBM 360-65),and a tone synthesizer (Moog). A major projectwill be the design and construction of an analogplotting board and the preparation of computersoftware. An evaluation of the completed systemwill be based upon comparative student perform-ance. For example, at each grade level tested, theability of a non-instrument playing student will becompared by analysis of varience with the abilityof a musically adept student in using the devicefor a particular musical task.

The development of the KWICDirectory Index will utilize principles involvingcomputerized methods for lifting meaningful wordsout of the titles of the contents of course docu-ments and mechanically generating an index. Anabstract of approximately 100-150 words will beformulated for each document entry and incorpo-rated into the Index volume. The Keysort systemwill afford a separate card for each document entryon which an abstract comparable to that of theKWIC publication will appear. Likewise, holesaround the edges of each card will be assigned val-ues to correspond to the indexing code of the
KWIC system. Direct sorting of cards will be per-mitted by inserting a sorting needle into a groupof cards through a desired classification hole andraising the card body, allowing the desired cards todrop from the needle. Supporting research, involv-ing a questionnaire sampling of approximately 50users, will determine which form of publication(KWIC, Keysort, or both) will be most beneficial
for users. It will also provide insight regarding thetype of information which the user is most likelyto seek through use of an index system.

A study designedto test the effectiveness of organizational variablesin promoting recall for a study unit and to com-pare the effects of several types of organizationsproduced during learning will be described.One hundred sixty-eight students will be selectedfrom juniors and seniors enrolled in high schoolsin the area studied. They will be chosen randomlyfrom a population who have little knowledge ofthe subject matter used in the study. Three unitsfrom materials provided by a communications in-stitute and written for high school level studentswill be used. The statements of important conceptsand facts will be printed on computer cards, oneconcept per card. The experiment will involveseven experimental conditions, requiring sevengroups of 24 students each. Students will sort theinformation they receive and will be asked to writedown as many of the main concepts and facts asthey can remember. Recall will be scored accord-ing to the number of concepts and facts recalled.The scores will be subjected to a two-way analysisof variance.

computerized game which simulates the experienceof a research-evaluation assistantship or praticum.Teams (3-4 members each) will be given thetask of choosing the "best" among several giveneducational alternatives, and an experimentalbudget. In order to facilitate a decision, these teamscan perform any experiment they wish by using acomputer simulator to generate matrices of scoreson specified predictor and criterion variables undervarious treatment conditions corresponding to thealternatives given. The teams are free to seek moreinformation about the context of the problem fromthe information bank, acquire more skills in therequired techniques by entering a training modulefor a short course, or to request expert assistance
from the team of consultants incorporated in thegame. However, each of the above alternatives hasa cost attached, and the teams must choose amongalternatives in a specified dine without exceedingtheir experimental budget. The decision, once ob-tained, will be entered into the computer which
generates a "payoff matrix" comprised of the valueof each criterion and the total cost (including ex-periments) of operating that decision in the entiresystem for a year. A unique system will be used todeclare game winners and to illustrate the relativeefficacies of the analytic strategies used by the teams.

students for the vastly increased use of computers,the Laboratory is developing instructional unitswhich emphasize demonstrations of existing com-puter applications. These provide "hands on" useof a computer.
The instructional units are organized into sev-eral courses. Course I is designed for both adminis-trators and teachers. The units provide a generalintroduction to computers and survey the use ofcomputers in education. Course II,. for administra-tors, thoroughly examines the concept-6f.data man-agement systems and management applications.Course III is designed for administrators who Witb.,,to implement computer based applications. Itdelves deeply into problems of hardware options,software needs, costs, personnel, and computerpower options.
Course II for teachers is composed of applicationunits from five subject areas: mathematics, science,business education, English, and social studies. Atthe completion of Course II, teachers have devel-
oped skills for selecting and writing similar unitsin their own subjects. Course III for teachers is in-tended to refine those skills.

The purpose ofthis effort is to conduct studies aimed at under-standing the nonintellective effects of educationaltechnology upon children, particularly upon theirattitudes and orientation toward machines assources of information and "authoritative" an-swers. The importance of the research to the fieldof education and to research in teaching is in theinformation that the study might obtain about theeffects variations in teaching techniques have upona cluster of attitudes and beliefs which play a sig-nificant role in an individual's modes of processinginformation, especially in those responses whichregulate the acceptance or rejection of informationoffered by competing media in the environment.In addition, knowledge of the effectiveness of themachine in teaching children from different back-grounds and with different .preferences in intakemodalities would be useful. Perhaps most signifi-cant is the information the study might providewith respect to the role of the human teacher in aclassroom populated with non-human teachers andthe implications of this information for long-termplanning in programs of teacher training.

The long-run objective of the program is a prototype systemof education which, by adoptirg to relevantindividual differences, optimizes each students'progress in school by permitting mastery of subjectmatter in the most efficient manner for each stu-dent. The individualization that is being providedfor includes individualized lesson plans, individual-ization of the materials and instructional tech-niques provided, and achievement of a requiredlevel of subject-matter mastery for each student.Within this program, the Individually PrescribedInstruction Project (IPI) is focused on the devel-opment of a workable model for the individuali-zation of instruction at the elementary level. Com-ponents of the model include curriculum design,testing, materials and resources for instruction, pre-scription writing and teacher training, classroommanagement and information feedback. The Pri-mary Education Project, a new experimentalschool project, has as its aim the development ofindividualized curriculum and a school organiza-tion that will serve children in a continuous pro-gram beginning at age 3 and running through theprimary grades. The project is undertaking the de-sign 3f a total school environment and will con-cern itself with the practical problems of runninga school and with maximizing the school's effec-tiveness. Systematic curriculum design and class-room management procedures are among its activi-ties. The Computer Management and InformationSystem Project is designed to increase the effective-ness of the model for individualizing instructionand to optimize the role of the teacher. Instruc-tional materials have been developed in elemen-tary matheu atics, reading, science, handwritingand spelling.

This project designs instructional programswhich serve two functions: to provide instructionrelevant to school concepts and skills, and to im-plement research designs for the purpose of investi-gating psychological variables relevant to learningand instruction. The major developmental effortsfocus on LRDC curriculums in elementary schoolspelling and mathematics, and on selected topics inthe LRDC early learning curriculum. In this con-text, several major instructional problems arebeing investigated, including the way in which in-struction can be optimized by adapting to the
211
learning histories of the individual student. Thisinvolves the design of optimal conditions for learn-ing through the assessment of response parametersas the basis for manipulation of feedback parame-ters, stimulus presentation schemes, and other in-structional conditions.
The second major problem area defined forstudy concerns the development and investigationof computer-assisted instruction as it provides in-structional features judged to be optimal for a les-son and not possible with conventional instruction.The project explores this area through investiga-tions of the adaptation of selected subject mattersto various terminal devices and through investiga-tions of the design of instructional strategies whichallow the student a high degree of subject-mattermanipulation.

ERIC
Educational Resources Information Center
The Educational Resources Information Center(ERIC) is a nationwide, decentralized informationsystem designed to help advance research and de-velopment on educational problems and processesand to accelerate widespread adoption of research-based educational programs.
The ERIC system is composed of 20 clearing-houses, each focusing on a specific topic or field.Clearinghouses are located at institutions of higherlearning or within professional organizations. Eachclearinghouse is responsible for collecting and re-viewing documents within its scope of interest.These documents are then forwarded to theLEASCO corporation for publication in Researchin Education (RIE) . The professional staff of eachclearinghouse directs the preparation of selectivebibliographies, prepares reviews of research and in-terpretative summaries of the literature, and per-forms the related tasks. Major bibliographies andreview papers developed by the clearinghou:,.. toannounced through RIE and are made availablethrough the Document Reproduction Service oper-ated by LIPCO (Leasco Information ProductsCompany) . Reports are put on microfilm and areavailable for purchase in either microfiche or hardcopy form. Through computer usage, ERIC pro-vides access to thousands of education reportsmade available monthly by organizations all overthe country. ERIC also publishes a monthly guidetitled CURRENT INDEX TO JOURNALS INEDUCATION.
ERIC is a computer-based information retrievaland dissemination system. Most searching of themagnetic tapes which contain the publication in-formation is done through an information retrievalprogram called QUERY. It is a proprietary systembeing made available through USOE on a limitedbasis to State and local educational agencies. Atpresent, there are about 75 users.
At the present, experimentation is proceedingwith an on-line, remote access search system. The
terminal, located in USOE, is accessing a computerlocated in Palo Alto, California.

Entries are to be classified tobe adaptable for computer operations designed forspecial investigations of Hebrew Linguistics. Thisdictionary will supplement completion of an algo-rithm for recognizing stems in the Hebrew lan-guage (currently being constructed under USOEProject BR-6-1263. OEC-17-061263-1656) . A fur-ther objective of this study is e examination ofthe theory of rules designed for the algorithm interms of a new method for teaching the HebrewLanguage. Recent scientific dictionaries will bestudied to select appropriate entries and relevantinformation. Tables, already established, will beapplied to correlate grammatical categories withthe aggrupation of all Hebrew affixes. These tableshave already furnished the computer with a basisfor fractionalizing words and testing the fractioniz-ations in various combinations to obtain a residueof stem-affix combinations. The projected diction-ary will be used to facilitate computer eliminationof illegitimate stem-affix combinations.

Home & Karl TeeterStart date 01 Aug 66 End date 31 Jan 68Purpose of Project: The goal of the research is toproduce, for the use of English speakers, a Jav-anese-English dictionary which reflects contempo-rary Javanese usage.
Javanese, with 45,000,000 speakers is among theten most widely spoken languages in the world. Itis one of the principal languages of Indonesia. Yetno Javanese-English dictionary has ever existed. Asa language learning tool, such a dictionary is ur-gently needed. Additionally, this dictionary willserve current Government and private needs.
The proposed research is Phase H of a Javanese-English dictionary. It is plann'd to continue with-out interruption the work of P.use I, Contract No.0E-5-14-037, which will terminate July 31, 1966.The project calls for computer-processing of aboutone million words of current standard Javanesetext. Materials to be processed will consist of news-papers and magazines obtained from Java, and taperecorded conversations spoken by Javanese people.At the close of Phase H, the physical form of thedictionary will be a file of .typed IBM cards con-taining the dictionary entries. Each entry will in-clude: (1) the lexical item in its root form, (2)the social style (formal, informal) to which it maybelong, (3) the definition and most approximateEnglish equivalent, (4) common phrases which in-clude the item, and (5) derived forms.429.

Because collectedspeciments are the core of biological and geologicalinformation, a computerized system of collectionmanagement is essential not only to efficiently usemuseum resources, but also to serve as an interfacewith conventional libraries and other subject-ori-ented facilities. The communication between theuser and the system is accomplished throughCOBOL, a common procedural language designedfor commercial data processing. The user states hisrequests in the form of "if" statements and in-dicates relationships which will satisfy his request.The user does not concern himself with file struc-ture or input and output commands since these areperformed by the system in conjunction withCOBOL. The development of the proposed systemwill permit greater accessibility of fundamental re-source materials of specimens and related data tostudents at all levels, as well as senior scholars.

A determination will be of the feasibilityof designing a generalized computer-based systemwhich would perform reserve activities for univer-sity libraries and be applicable to reserve environ-ments irrespective of their size or subject orienta-tion. On the immediate user level, such a systemwould provide to professors and students completelistings of books on reserve for particular courses.An analysis of several reserve systems, varying involume of work done and subject area covered,will be conducted. The processing functions com-mon to all of the systems studied will be isolatedand stated. A generalized system of procedures willbe formulated. Computer programs will be writtenand pilot systems initiated to operationally test thevalidity of the generalized system design. Initially,the computer system will be off -line. As effort pro-gresses, on line processing will be incorporated, anda functional comparison of the two processingmodes within the system will be done.

The study will be con-ducted with the characteristics and capabilities ofcomputers in mind. The attempt will be to deter-mine whether there are features of conventional li-brary catalog cards and of conventional catalogingpractice which should be altered in a computerizedsystem to achieve better user service or more eco-nomical processing. User need will be studied bymeans of a carefully designed series of interviewsconducted with library users as they approach thecard catalog of a university library. The interview-ers will attempt to elicit the precise categories andspecificity of identifying date which users have in

mind when initiating a search. Pertinent worksidentified by users will be examined, as will thecatalog cards which describe those works. Attemptswill be made to formulate rules of file organizationwhich would assure efficient identification of thepertinent works in a large computerized system.Cataloging requirements will be examined to seewhether simplified, possibly automated, procedureswould suffice for input to a computerized catalogsystem, or whether, conversely, more detailed andcomplex input processing may be desirable.

that require more elaborate studies. A computer-ized catalog has two major advantages (1) it per-mits the production of printed catalogs on a pe-riodic basis at cost levels not achievable by othermeans, and (2) it permits the production o' morevariations of the standard listings by author, title,and subject than are otherwise possible. At thesame time the computerized catalog raises ques-tions, particularly of cost, that will be investigatedin this study. Information gathering will be donein two phases (1) by visits to major library cen-ters that represent various problems and view-points on the use of computers in libraries, and(2) by a study of existing printed library and com-mercial catalogs and directories. In phase 1 infor-mation on special purpose bibliographies will begathered to determine (1) to what extent com-puter listings could have been used to producethese special bibliographies, (2) size of potentialmarket for special bibliographies, (3) feasibility ofletting production of bibliographies carry part ofthe costs of a computerized catalog, and (4) whatmodifications to card catalogs would be needed tosimplify generation of catalogs. In phase 2, thespeed of scanning a file by a user, which is con-nected with costs, will be determined as a functionof type size, type face, and page and entry formats.Additional factors to be studied are conversioncosts, costs of computer programing and ways of re-ducing them, and the feasibility of interinstitu-tional use of computer programs.

An interdisciplinary approach will be used todevelop the conceptual and theoretical foundationsand organization of computer information storageand retrieval systems that will permit symbolic dis-course in the form of natural language betweenman and machine. Computer software and hard-ware will be organized and developed to demon-strate the superiority of such systems, called cogni-tive memory systems, over conventionalinformation storage and retrieval systems which de-liver documents upon coded queries. For thisstudy, the concepts of "what information storageand retrieval systems should be" will be basedupon considering knowledge to be a set of rela-tions, not necessarily represented in linguisticform, to which appropriate access is obtained byappropriate transformations into the linguistic do-main. This approach considers the ultimate aim ininformation systems to be the use of knowledgethrough discourse by use of natural language in aman-machine system in which each partner is enti-tled to pose problems to the other partner whomay solve them by recourse to deductive or induc-tive reasoning. Researchers from the departmentsof computer sciences, mathematics, linguistics, li-brary science, anthropology, psychology, electricalengineering, biophysics, and the biological com-puter laboratory will contribute and cooperate inthis project on a formal or informal basis. The re-sults of this study will be important as a funda-mental re-thinking of the information storage andretrieval problem in terms of operable cognitivememory systems and for the contributions made tosubject areas and to teaching methods.

This project planned to determine whether thehuman intellectual process of cataloging biblio-graphic materials can be simulated by automatictechniques. The specific cataloging process forstudy was that which concerns selection of entry.Simulating the process by automatic techniques re-fers specifically to the use of mechanistic devicesand procedures that will facilitate automatic ma-nipulation of cataloging data to produce properentry selection. Devices to be used in this study tosimulate the entry process were to be directed treegraphs, which are commonly used in linguistic andconcept simulation. The study was to be addressedprimarily to conceptual problems that are at thebase of the cataloging process, and was to be con-cerned with economic or technical feasibility.

The objective of this research and developmentproject is to increase educational and research re-sources to academic institutions. To attain thisobjective, a computerized shared-cataloging systemis being designed and activated for Ohio academiclibraries. However, the system will be a stand-alonesystem designed to operate with a group of anytype of libraries. Moreover, the system is being de-signed to achieve transferability so that a similarcomputer and related equipment, the programs,and the cataloging data could be installed in an-other region.
The shared-cataloging system is intended to in-crease availability of library resources for researchand education, reduce costly duplicate cataloging,and reduce user costs in time and money. Theshared-cataloging system is being designed to serveas a base on which subsequently to build a compu-terized remote catalog access and circulation sys-tem, a bibliographic-information retrieval system, aserials control system, and a technical processingsystem. This initial project will continue for eigh-teen months, at the end of which time it is plannedto activate a pilot operation for six months beforeundertaking routine operation.

The overall goal in the MARC-Oklahoma pro-gram is to maintain and operate a data utility of
machine readable cataloging information with avariety of services for the Department of Librariesand for other libraries. The overriding philosophyfor the data utility for the Department is the rec-ognition that automation is increasingly necessaryto help the Department keep pace with and in-crease the services which it offers to its patrongroups. The philosophy for making automatedservices available to other libraries is the realiza-tion that such an expensive operation should beused cooperatively.
"The term 'data utility' is used to describe a data-oriented, computer-based centralized service, withemphasis toward generalized applications on a cen-trally maintained set of data files for access by avariety of users. This concept differs significantlyfrom a computer utility . . . which allows manyusers at remote sites to use a central computer con-currently. The data utility is similar in that cer-tain services will be available at remote sites, butall take the form of interrogating existing fileswith existing software."

explore the use of experimental teaching strategiesin computer-assisted instruction for technical edu-cation programs. The plan is (1) to evaluate thearticulation of computer-assisted instruction withother educational strategies, and, by careful experi-mentation, determine optimum ways of presentingcore courses in technical education curriculums,(2) to prepare curriculum materials for computerpresentation with emphasis in the instruction ofpost-high school students in communication skills,technical mathematics and engineering science, (3)to train an interdisciplinary group of individualsto prepare course materials and to do research oncomputer applications in technical education, and(4) to disseminate the information and evidencecodcerning the innovation of computer-assisted in-struction and its application to occupational edu-cation. The project would aid in relieving the se-vere shortage of trained research workers inoccupational education and to communicate theinnovation of computer-assisted instruction to thepublic and the professions.

The twofold attempt will beto (1) integrate academic training, occupationaltraining, and personal development in grades 9-12,and (2) assimilate knowledge in various areas ofresearch in order to maximize individualized in-struction. The new curriculum will be specificallyoriented toward the learner's self-actualization andwill provide a systematic approach for using suchinnovations as instructional television, team teach-ing, tutorial programs, teaching machines, and thecomputer in educational experiences of secondaryschool students. The curriculum should, therefore,provide the means for meeting perennial educa-tional challenges brought about by technology andinnovation. A local program coordinator will beemployed by the school district to fulfill suchobjectives as establishing a climate for change, act-ing as a change agent, and evaluating each step inthe curriculum development cycle, in addition tothe development itself.

lay foundation for the working counselor's under-standing, acceptance, and unbiased trial of the rap-idly developing computer-based systems for coun-seling and guidance services. With more than adozen such systems under development, it is ob-vious that several of them will be in useon atrial basiswhere counseling services are renderedin the near future particularly in conjunction withEducational Systems 1970 school systems. Becauseof the potential sources of counselor resistance in-herent in the use of the computer in counseling,there is an urgent need to communicate what isknown about the systems being developed, the mo-tives that guide the development, and the prob-lems and possibilities arising from their use. Seven-teen guidance directors from ES '70 school systemsand 23 university faculty members, who are in aposition to influence the counseling practice andeducation at their institutions will be invited for aweek long conference. The conference will havetwo main emphases: (1) expert presentations,group discussions and individual study on impor-tant issues concerning the use of computers in
counseling; and (2) detailed and prolonged studyof three such systems, including the equipment,the programs, and the client-experiences beingstriven for. Participation in the conference shouldprovide innovative guidance directors and counse-lor educators with: (a) a thorough knowledge oftwo of the computer-based systems; (b) a consid-eration of their adaptation and use in ES '70schools; (c) an exposure to and an opportunity todiscuss the relevant issues surrounding the use ofthe computer in counseling; (d) a bibliography
and other source material dealing with these is-sues; and (e) an opportunity to consider the im-plications for counseling practice and education. Itis expected that the direct effects of this experiencewill include: (a) the adaptation of some parts ofthe system for use in ES '70 schools; (b) the in-troduction of the subject to counselor educationcurriculums; (c) increased awareness of publishedmaterials and convention programs dealing withthe topic; and (dj a general spread to counselorsof information about computer-based systems.

The phonetic transcription ability of 78 collegestudents whose transcription instruction was ad-ministered by means of pre-programed languagemaster cards was compared with that of 81 stu-dents whose instruction was non-automated. Abil-ity was measured by seven weekly tests. There wasno significant relationship on any of 29 variableswith type of instruction. Intercorrelational tech-niques showed no positive correlation for sex, butpositive correlations of grade point average andtranscription and theory tests, and in four of the sixseashore measures of musical abilities subtests(timbre, memory, pitch, and time) . On question-naires, students with live instruction indicated that
they were significantly more satisfied (P.05) andthe main reason given was the feedback obtainedfrom verbal imitation and the instructor's immedi-ate critical reaction. It was concluded that live in-struction be supplemented by machine practice.Three references are cited, word lists, instructionsfor language master users, satisfaction scale, gradedata, and questionnaire data are provided.

It is proposed that a research and curriculum de-velopment project in language arts and mathemat-ics be established for deaf children using the me-dium of computer-assisted instruction. Programs inelementary-school mathematics developed and usedin the Stanford CAI project over the past severalyears will be used initially and will be evaluatedfor their appropriateness for the group being con-sidered and revised or rewritten as necessary. Spe-cific hypotheses concerning the relative difficulty ofconcepts in the program and the achievement ofdeaf children compared with students in regularschools will be tested.
Developmental work on a computer-assisted in-structional program of language arts will be under-
253
taken as part of the program. Extensive testingand evaluation, both formative and classic, will becarried out at each stage of development. Teachersfrom participating schools will assist Stanford cur-riculum specialists and psychologists in the prepa-ration as well as in the evaluation of curriculummaterials to be used in the program. Instructionwill be administered by Stanford's CAI networkwhich has been in operation since 1963. Datacollection and analysis will be performed using theStanford computer. Daily lessons will be taken bystudents using teletype terminals connected by tele-phone line to the computer at Stanford where eachstudent response is handled individually.
The project will focus on basic research on thelearning difficulties of deaf children in the areas ofmathematics and language arts and the prepara-tion and evaluation of appropriate curriculum ma-terials. A program in research training will be con-ducted as part of this project and will employgraduate students in the educational research pro-gram as staff members on the evaluation team.
The categories covered in this project are: (a)programmatic development; (b) educationalmedia; (c) curriculum development and evalua-tion; and (d) research training.

The purpose of the project is to develop a com-plete college-level computer-assisted instruction(CAI) course dealing with the identification anddiagnosis of handicapping conditions in children.The course will be aimed toward pre-school andprimary level teachers of seemingly typical chil-dren.
This project should contribute to education bydemonstrating the use of a new educational tech-nology in the education and training of teachers(especially inservice teachers) and by providinghigh quality education to teachers who might nothave the opportunity to return to a college campusfor refresher training. The project also shoulddramatize the effect that educational technologycan have in the field of special education and earlychildhood education.
Personnel in the departments of special educa-tion and elementary education, and the computerassisted instruction laboratory at PennsylvaniaState University will cooperate to develop and pro-gram the course for the IBM 1500 InstructionalSystem located at Penn State. Upon completion ofcourse development and field testing, the coursewill be given to teachers by means of a mobile vanhousing a complete CAI system. A proposal to pro-vide operating costs for the mobile van has beensubmitted under the provisions of the EducationPersonnel Development Act.

Title IPennsylvania (Cheater)535.TALKING TYPEWRITERAbout $40,000 invested 3 years ago. Costs about
$1500 per year to run. On-going for 4 years.The Talking Typewriter's primary use is in pro-
gramed basic instruction utilizing strong rein-forcement techniques. A teaching presentation ofthe word or concept is given and then a reinforc-ing response is required both verbally and kines-thetically. The kinesthetic response is through thetypewriter keys. Material is taught in extremelysmall sequential steps than reinforced by child re-sponse immediately after presentation; the childalso responds with a teacher at the end of the ses-sion. The linguistics and synthetic phonics ap-proach is used to program the teaching instrument.The machine is programmed through a push but-ton keyboard representing the English commands.Commands are stored on a special card designedfor use with the machine. Voice is stored on thesame card with computer commands. Children goat their own speed. Deals with children who havereading problems below third grade level.

Appendixes
Appendix A: Shortcomings of The Analysis
The data in this report are as complete and asaccurate as possible, based on the records availablein the USOE. There are, however, a number offactors affecting the data of which the readershould be aware.
First, USOE's programs are designed to meetneeds at particular educational levels, such as ele-mentary and secondary, or of specialized groups,such as the handicapped and disadvantaged. TheUSOE efforts are and have been focused on the edu-cational problems and not specifically on themeans to solve them. No centralized attempt hastherefore been made to keep records on the com-puter activities within given projects. The data inthis report have been gathered from the ERICcomputer-based files on project information, fromPacesetters and Current Project Information,which are compendiums of project abstracts, andfrom each of the Bureaus and National centers inUSOE through discussions with program officersand their search of existing files.
About 80 percent of all computer projects havebeen funded either through the Cooperative Re-search Act or Title III of the ESEA. The list ofprojects funded through the Cooperative ResearchAct is believed to be complete. This is not thecase, however, with the list of projects funded bytitle III of the ESEA. At the end of fiscal year1968, the administration of that title changed fromUSOE to the States. Records currently availablewithin the USOE for title III are incomplete forthe years FY 1969, FY 1970, and FY 1971.
The States also administer Title I of the ESEA.For purposes of this study, records in USOE, again,are rather fragmentary. A partial survey of ten
1
States was made to discover the types of computerprojects being funded under Title I. A sample ofthe projects in these States has been obtained andincluded in this report.
The ERIC system maintains abstracts of currentprojects funded through the National Center forEducational Research and Development andthrough title III of the ESEA. These project ab-stracts, as published in Current Project Informa-tion and in Pacesetters, do not reflect the altera-tions in the project activities made during contractnegotiations or during the span of the project.Often an abstract does not state if a project wasterminated prematurely. Although an abstract maysuggest that computers were involved in the proj-ect, in some cases, they may not have been utilizedand vice versa.
From the records available, there has been noway of dividing a project's expenditures into costsfor computer activities and for non-computer activ-ities. Further, for a few projects, existing recordscontain more than one fiscal figure, so some of thefigures given in this report may be inaccurate. Thetotal funding of projects which began before, butcontinued to receive support in FY 1966, havebeen included in the figures for FY 1966.
The data which have been presented in this re-port are the best available. To assume, however,that the data are totally accurate or complete is amistake. The figures presented both for the num-ber of projects funded and for the expendituresshould be viewed as approximate. The orders ofmagnitude of those figures, however, are correct, asare the trends which have been derived from thedata.
