THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING IN FUTURE INSTRUCTIONAL SYSTEMS

Abstract

Summarizes computer developments as follows: The comp used teaching machine: by branching students laterally, backward, and forward through subject material, the machines develops a course of study particularly suited to the individual student's educational background, level of motivation, and aptitude. Information retrieval systems: up-to-date information in any area of the arts and sciences can be provided by information centers utilizing abstracting and translating machines, techniques of rapid retrieval and dissemination of data. Simulation programs: computer-based simulation programs will aid ongoing management and instruction activities by: supplying periodic economic or population forecasts; helping to balance budgets; giving guidance in the planning of new educational facilities; expediting the training and selection of educators; facilitating classroom and vocational instruction. The automated classroom: new technology for processing educational data and for organizing instructional material in the classroom.
