    ABSTRACT Presented is an operational, comprehensive plan for measuring a Competency Based Teacher Education (CBTE) program. This assessment and evaluation system is a part of the competency-based program of Vocational and Applied Arts Education (VAE). Its seven major goals are: (1) to provide objective public measures for each performance objective in the program; (2) to provide for field assessment of intern teachers and pre-interns using classroom teachers as the primary evaluators; (3) to identify student skill deficiencies prior to instruction; (4) to provide means by which students can be exempt from unneeded instruction; (5) to provide means by which student reactions can be systematically gathered for use in revising instruction and instructional materials; (6) to provide means by which data can be collected to give direction for program revision and imprnvement; and (7) to determine the effects of the program upon the graduates' teaching and upon their pupils. The assessment and evaluation system is perceived as the most crucial aspect of CBTE. Procedures for determining test reliability, test item validity instruments, a pre-intern field experience check list, data collection instruments and reports available from the Assessment Data Bank are appended.

    The field of instructional technology has traditionally involved a unique blend of theory and practice. This blend is most obvious in developmental research, those studies that involve the production of knowledge with the ultimate aim of improving the processes of instructional design, development, and evaluation. Such research is based on either situation-specific problem solving or generalized inquiry procedures. Developmental research, as opposed to simple instructional development, has been defined as “the systematic study of designing, developing and evaluating instructional programs, processes and products that must meet the criteria of internal consistency and effectiveness” (Seels & Richey, 1994, p. 127). In its simplest form, developmental research can be either

    Instructional Technology is a field that has grown from two separate knowledge bases and two related areas of practical concern. Its original roots were in the study and construction of visual aids as teaching devices. This line of thinking is consistent with the current fascination with computers and their role in the delivery of instruction. The field's second major line

    Abstract: The articles in this section of" Educational Media and Technology Yearbook" identify current trends and issues in the field of instructional technology. Two subsections are also included: ERIC Digests, which are reprints of ERIC reports available on the Internet, and a subsection on a variety of standards that emerged during the past couple of years.(AEF)

    Part of a larger project designed to produce a causal model of variables that impinge upon training interventions and influence adult learning, this research is concerned with learner attitudes toward the way employee training is delivered and the roles these convictions play in learning. Two research models served as a guide for comprehensive data collection in four studies of major plant safety training programs. The first three studies were concerned with energy control and power lockout (ECPL), safety training for operators of powered material handing vehicles (PMHV), and plant pedestrian safety. Instruction was delivered via group-oriented lectures and discussion with supporting videotapes in all three programs. The fourth study related to the same ECPL content as the first study, but the training format had been converted to interactive videodisc instruction. The studies employed a pre-/posttest survey design with the posttests administered 30-90 days after training. Two train...

    This is a report of a developmental research study that aimed to
    construct and validate an instructional design (ID) model that incorporates the
    theory and practice of multiple intelligences (MI). The study consisted of three
    phases. In phase one, the theoretical foundations of multiple Intelligences and
    ID were examined to guide the development of such model. In phase two the
    model components were determined and an initial model was constructed. In
    phase three, the model was reviewed and validated by experts in the field of ID
    through a three-round Delphi study. The result was a revised and validated
    Multiple Intelligences Design Model. This paper presents the decision-making
    processes and procedures used in model development, and provides a framework
    for the internal validation of ID models using expert review procedures.
