ATS-F and Man: A Course of Study: An Experiment in Satellite Application to Statewide Instructional Methodology.
Gaven, Patricia; Williams, R. David
An experiment is proposed which will study the advantages of satellite technology as a means for the standardization of teaching methodology in an attempt to socially integrate the rural Alaskan native. With "Man: A Course of Study" as the curricular base of the experiment, there will be a Library Experiment Program for Adults using print and nonprint materials and a Library Experiment Program for Children as a parallel nonclassroom learning experience. Both programs will support the educational approach of child, parent, and professional in merged interaction. Evaluation of this experiment will consist of the extent of participation in the satellite classroom session, pre- and postattitudinal surveys, direct evaluation by teachers, the number of participants in a satellite parent-teacher exchange, and the number of requests for resource materials and the frequency of their use in teaching the course. The experiment is planned for February 1973 through June 1975. A list of job descriptions for key personnel is included, plus a budget for both the developmental and operational phases. (Author/KKC)
