Self-Paced Instruction in SPSS with Multitutor.
Wides, Jeffrey W.
More than a dozen CAI modules which teach the uninitiated user how to use the interactive Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) are described. The modules are based on the principle of incrementally increasing difficulty, self pacing, and student involvement. The first half of the set introduces the student to interactive computing, illustrates required SPSS control cards, and enables the student to get an output from a small data file which s/he has created. The modules conclude with the student being led through a series of analyses involving 1976 U.S. socio-economic, attitudinal, and voting data. The modules are written in Multitutor for CDC's interactive SPSS, but they can be adapted especially to PLATO and, with greater effort, to IIS or Coursewriter. (Author)
