By insisting that a student master a skill before progressing to a more complex task, a teacher can help that student build a firm foundation for further learning experiences. (JD)

The effects of the Individualized Curriculum Sequencing (ICS) model on acquisition and generalization of skills by two severely handicapped preschoolers were evaluated. Results preliminarily supported the efficacy of the ICS model. Criterion performance and generalization across novel classroom activities and materials were evident for four of…

Lists steps for developing skills such as sequencing and organizing ideas for both flowcharting and reading. (AEA)

Discusses the advantages of teaching history sequentially, considering factual, methodological, and conceptual relationships. (CK)

Discusses a new language curriculum model called the "merry-go-round model," which involves the use of levels rather than courses. By emphasizing skill acquisition rather than course completion, this system allows individual progression and groups students according to their level of skill development. Assessment in this program is…

This study of 82 hearing-impaired children (ages 6 to 36 months) sought to provide normative data concerning their communication efforts and to document the course of development of these earliest communication efforts. The study found that certain cognitive abilities and strategies are prerequisite to the development of certain language…

Discussed is the use of minimum behavioral objectives to provide evaluation of special education in regular classrooms. Literature which supports the mainstreaming of moderately handicapped children is reviewed briefly. Application of the behavioral model of education on the community level is considered in terms of the basic skills which comprise…

Three learning activities, test strategies, and teacher suggestions are provided to help intermediate and secondary-level teachers teach skills in history and the social sciences. (RM)

Findings suggested that developmental sequencing (of the sort attempted here) may provide an adequate general guide for selecting and sequencing curricula and instruction, but does not provide precise skill sequences which have significant effects on learning rate. (Author)

Mastery learning techniques were improved through mathematics instruction based on a validated learning hierarchy, presenting tasks in a sequence consistent with the requirements of the hierarchy, and requiring learners to demonstrate achievement before being allowed to proceed. (Author/GDC)

A FOURTH PROGRESS REPORT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BEGINNING READING SKILLS PROGRAM USING THE EDISON RESPONSIVE ENVIRONMENTS INSTRUMENT IS PRESENTED. THE ACQUISITION OF A SEQUENCE OF COMPLEX BEGINNING READING SKILLS IS EXAMINED. MOTIVATIONAL STRATEGIES ARE DISCUSSED. THE FOLLOWING HYPOTHESES WERE TESTED IN FIELD STUDIES--(1) THE EFFECTS OF TWO TYPES…

Examines the literature and explores expectations of undergraduates regarding lifelong learning and the library to propose a perceptual model of lifelong learning and user education. Suggests that a perceptual model can facilitate lifelong learning through education approaches geared to the sequential levels of skills needed by particular library…

A four-step approach to planning and implementing a physical education program for children centers on a theme, through which movement skills are developed and refined. In preplanning, a scope and sequence chart are a means of providing a general overview of the school year and the progression involved from year to year. The second step involves…
