SCORIT, a computer program which processes student responses to test items, is described and explained. The method of scoring responses according to an original test design and possible alternate test designs is detailed. The printing and punching of reports in a form suitable for correlational analysis are covered. A program description is…

This book presents new ideas and approaches in research techniques in the areas of health, physical education, and recreation. Part 1, the introduction, includes two articles, which are "Why This Research?" by Arthur H. Steinhaus and "Overview of Research: Basic Principles" by Benjamin H. Massey. Part 2, discusses preparations…

This progrmed course of study is designed to prepare local government officials and individual citizens to act in nuclear emergencies or disasters. Each of the four units has two lessons beginning with a brief overview and proceeding with self study frames. Line drawings are used to illustrate effects. Topics covered are the radiological monitor…

The list of entries in this bibliography represents a selected sample, not an exhaustive one, of assessment instruments for prekindergarten and kindergarten children. Some standard instruments which are commercially available are included, but the majority are research instruments used successfully on an experimental basis by investigators. With…

Describes the design of an instrument to measure the attitudes of teachers toward metrication, and reports on its reliability and validity. (GA)

Presents a literature review of the use of instrumentation and automation of wastewater treatment systems, covering publications of 1976-77. This review includes automatic control systems and cost effectiveness of automation of wastewater treatment. A list of 115 references is also presented. (HM)

Discusses the development, field testing, and validation of an instrument designed to assess secondary school students' understanding of the nature of scientific knowledge. (GA)

Describes the procedure, the circuitry, and the calibration required to convert a voltmeter into a pH meter for use in the physics laboratory. (GA)

A kit is described for use in automation of routine chemical research procedures. The kit uses sensors to evaluate the state of the system, actuators which modify the adjustable parameters, and an organ of decision which uses the information from the sensors. (BB)

A model is needed for defining, operationalizing, and measuring teacher competence that combines the methodological rigor of the behavioral objectives approach with the richness of the intuitive, empirical, and theoretical knowledge of what constitutes competence. (Author)

Presents an inventory instrument designed to facilitate conversation, communication, and assessment of programs and goals in secondary science teacher education. (SL)

Discusses the calibration of bolometric and photoelectric devices utilized for the measurement of solar energy. (SL)

Discusses some of the new physical dating methods being used by archaeologists and paleoanthropologists to study the material remains of ancient primates. Describes the quaternary physical dating techniques, advances in radiocarbon dating, and the radiocalcium data method. (TW)

Describes a course in chemical instrumentation for high school chemistry teachers, paid for by Union Carbide. Teachers used spectrophotometer, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer, atomic absorption spectrograph, gas chromatograph, liquid chromatograph and infrared spectrophotometer. Also describes other teacher education seminars. (JM)
