A correspondence exists between a simplified data collection method employing results from a post test for graphic skills in kinematics, and a rigourous validation method. Examination of test responses for discrepant instances yielded further information of value. Hierarchical patterns of learning and remembering are identical. (Author/CP)

Describes probabilistic document retrieval systems as a sequential learning process, in which the system learns the parameters of probability distributions describing the frequencies of feature occurrences in relevant and nonrelevant documents. Several techniques for estimating the parameters of distributions are described and the results of tests…

The paper details teaching methods that have proved successful in teaching money management skills to secondary special education students (e.g., use of real money, organization of money before counting, transitions when counting different bill denominations, instruction in various bill combinations, sequence of introducing coin combinations, and…

Maintains that writing assignments in world history should include essays that are sequenced according to difficulty. Proposes a sequencing model for an introductory course in world history based on seven steps of difficulty. Provides examples of questions at each level in addition to a course outline. (JDH)

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