A method of utilizing a basic audio-tape format within a supervised self-instructional learning center was developed to provide students with the individualized approach to learning in courses with large student enrollments. (DF)

This research confirms the hypothesis that test achievement in general college chemistry is directly related to student participation in the learning process. (Author/DF)

An introductory course is designed with relevance for directly instilling into the students a sense of the unity and coherence of chemical ideas. The sequence also has the flavor'' of a research project. (DF)

A partial solution to the problem of choosing what to teach from the vast amount of subject matter was achieved by combining the philosophies of the audio-tutorial approach and the concept-pak approach. (DF)

Reports on the following are presented: Computer Generates Data for Statistics, Community College Advisory Committee, Environmental Studies Program, Natural Complexity, Systems Approach to Problem Solving, and Chem Lab Uses Mobile Computer. (DF)

Reviews are presented which are designed for beginning undergraduates. The films are divided into two series: (1) Manipulation of Liquids and Solids, and (2) Chromatographic Separations and Spectorscopic Methods. Topics increase in complexity from one film to the next. (DF)

Briefly describes two antagonistic learning theories: the Association Theory proposed by Skinner and the Field or Cognitive Theory supported by Piaget. Suggests the need for consistency in theoretical approach in the teaching of science at the college level. (JR)

Discusses current research in thermonuclear fusion with particular emphasis on the problem of confining hot plasma. Recent experiments indicate that magnetic bottles called tokamaks may achieve the necessary confinement times, and this break-through has given renewed optimism to the feasibility of commercial fusion power by the turn of the…

Reviews the current state of computer assisted instruction and suggests future trends in computer use in education. Discusses methods of using computers in the educational process, research on effectiveness, educational research, applications of computers, major projects, programing languages, and problems with computer assisted instruction. (JR)

Traces the historical developments in physics leading to the present conflict of fundamental beliefs about the nature of the physical world. It has been recently proposed that the concept of fundamental particles (corpuscularianism) be replaced with a full-blown field dynamical theory. (JR)
