THE PRESENT PROGRAM WILL OFFER TRAINING FOR 20 PARTICIPANTS IN ADVANCED LEVELS OF COST ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS ORGANIZATION, COMPILER LANGUAGES, ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE PROGRAMING, EXECUTIVE SYSTEMS DATA COMMUNICATIONS,' AND SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN. (THESE AND OTHER TOPICS HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE ADVANCED CURRICULUM OF THE OKLAHOMA COMPUTER SCIENCE SYSTEM, CONSISTING OF TECHNICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAMS IN FOUR VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL SCHOOLS, THREE JUNIOR COLLEGES, AND ONE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE.) (JM) ORIENTATION OF EDUCATORS AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENTISTS TO INFORMATION SYSTEMS Principal Investigator: James W. Altman Submitted to: U. S. Commissioner of Education Duration: I June 1967 to 31 May 1968 ABSTRACT The purpose of the proposed project is to develop materials and methods for the orientation of educators and behavioral scientists to systems capable of providing information in support of their work. This effort is expected to facilitate the work of practicing educators, educational researchers, and scientists who provide much of the knowledge base upon which educationa! technology is built. The facilitation will be achieved by providing means by which educators and behavioral scientists can more readily learn about information resources and techniques for exploiting them for more effective educational and related work. The proposed effort will involve the gathering of data concerning available information services and systems, organization of this material into a set of alternative forms for presentation to educators and behavioral scientists, selective trial presentation, obtaining of immediate and delayed assessments from persons to whom presentations are made, improvement of oricntation materials on the basis of assessments, and final technical reporting of the study. |
