Development of Parallel Learning Strategies Curricula Using Videodisc and Standard Off-Line Formats. Final Report.
Ramsberger, Peter F.; And Others
One of a series of developmental projects that have produced and evaluated applications of an advanced multimedia, computer-based technology for basic skills education for Army enlisted personnel, this project focused on the development of an integrated curriculum to teach learning strategies and problem-solving skills. The first task was to develop interactive videodisc instruction in problem solving and grouping as a learning strategy (i.e., classifying information into groups that emphasize similarities between items), and to produce a videodisc overview to integrate this instructional package with 12 previously produced videodiscs that teach a variety of additional study skills and learning strategies. The second task was to prepare printed, off-line materials to teach the skills presented in the entire videodisc curriculum for use both in future media comparison evaluations planned by the Army Research Institute (ARI), and in locations that do not have the hardware necessary to present videodisc instruction. The third task was to prepare two videotapes, one a short summary and the other a 20-minute presentation, of the videodisc work sponsored by ARI. All videodisc instruction was designed for use with Apple- and Cromemco-based Spatial Data Management Systems (SDMS). This report presents a discussion of the learning strategies curricula, including its purpose, the videodisc materials that were developed, design and development issues, and the development of off-line materials, and a description of the videotape presentations on ARI videodisc instructional projects. Four tables provide supporting information, and seven references are listed. (JB)
