摘要:

AbstractFlexiStudy is an ‘open’ learning system designed for mature students who want to follow non‐degree level courses. It overcomes four of the five main administrative constraints identified by Coffey (1977) and eases several of the educational constraints he considered. In September 1979 FlexiStudy was offered by at least 15 further education and adult colleges in England, with nearly 900 total enrolments. This paper deals with its development, present operation and future pros

摘要:

AbstractThe paper is concerned with the use of the computer as a medium for teaching, a tool for learning and a manager of learning. Its special characteristic is seen to be its ability to take a non‐trivial role in an interactive situation. The dramatic reduction in the cost of computer hardware is put forward as the major reason for the increasing importance of computer aided learning. The use of computers in support of both unstructured and structured learning situations is discussed. It is argued that the design methods used for the development of computer aided learning facilities need to be adaptive. It is further argued that appropriate hardware and software development tools need to be provided in order to enable adaptive design methods to be used. The particular importance of paying attention to the man‐computer interface in designing computer aided learning systems is discussed. The need to be able to modify the interface after the system has been used by students is emphasi

摘要:

AbstractThis paper considers some treatments and adaptations of Keller's first principles and advocates a mastery requirement for all university courses which are prerequisites for further study. A summary of Keller or PSI Mathematics courses in universities in Australia and New Zealand is given.With reference to the general aim (of mathematical education at universities) of ‘problem‐solving’, there are limitations to the application of a mastery principle which requires an explicit statement of objectives. However, the principle of mastery does offer guidelines for the university teacher, which may be used with conventional timetabled, lecture‐paced teaching methods. A two‐tier structure of assessment is described which incorporates levels of mastery (tier I) and of problem‐solvin

AbstractObjective evaluation of microteaching programmes is rarely practicable. As an alternative a series of questions is posed as the basis for subjective appraisal of such programmes.
