Handbook of Curriculum Design for Individualized Instruction
Abstract: Precise guidelines for the design and development of individualized instruction curriculum materials from rigorously defined behavioral objectives are presented. With the guidelines an educator can identify all objectives appropriate for an instructional unit, define a procedure to order the objectives into an educational sequence, and determine how to communicate specifications to teachers and curriculum writers. The Drumheller Model is based on the Bloom Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. Exercises are included.
Competency-based Education
Abstract: Performance-based, or competency-based education (CBE) is a concept for teaching which applies to all learning levels, as presented in a collection of papers written by educators who support its theory, implications, and practical application. CBE evolved from a philosophy of education that specifies behavioral objectives for which criterion levels of performance, or competency, are defined; an instructional plan aims the learner toward achieving these minimum expectancies. CBE and traditional educational systems are compared from a psychological viewpoint. Topics explored in this sourcebook for the CBE program include empathy-competence, affective behaviors, instructional techniques, curriculum design, achievement testing, and teacher certification. The special issues of communications technology, the open classroom, and urban children examine the implementation of competency-based learning in the schools. An annotated bibliography reviews research efforts in performance-based teacher education.
A Taxonomy of Communication Media
This book defines and describes communication media; discusses the difference between information and instruction, instructional media and instructional aids; and proposes a set of criteria by means of which communication media may be distinguished from nonmedia, one medium distinguished from another, and a single medium distinguished from multimedia applications. A two-dimensional classification system for communication media is proposed: in one dimension, seven classes are defined, based on ways of representing information; in the other, communication media are divided into two groups, telemedia and recording media. Twenty-eight specific communication media are defined and described. This list includes the major available and soon-to-be-available media.
