Download or read book The Computer in Educational Decision Making written by Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory and published by Timeshare. This book was released on 1978 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides educational administrators with a working knowledge of the problem-solving techniques of PERT (planning, evaluation, and review technique), Linear Programming, Queueing Theory, and Simulation. The text includes an introduction to decision-making and operations research, four chapters consisting of indepth explanations of each technique, and instructions on the use of computer programs. PERT is used for planning and analyzing stages or activities in project development. The chapter includes step-by-step instruction in its use--with illustrated charts and examples--and an explanation of the GCPATH program for a PERT computer analysis. The third chapter centers on the use of Linear Programming, a mathematical technique designed to solve mathematically stated problems. It contains examples of the computer program LPRG and illustrates its use in several different situations. Queueing Theory, the subject of the fourth chapter, is a method for analyzing waiting line problems. Presented are the basic elements of the theory, discussion of its use, and an outline of solutions to waiting problems with the QUEUE computer program. The final chapter introduces Simulation Technique, where a variety of simulated solutions to problems are used instead of real life situations. Practical examples illustrate the application of the technique and the use of the computer programs ENROLL, SUBST, and BUSRTE. (MD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computers are tools to help man think. They do not, strictly speaking, ever make decisions. We make the decisions when we write the programs which specify what is to be done under each foreseeable circumstance. In so doing, our values are exposed--to our own view and to others. Some of the resistance to the use of computers in the management of human institutions may arise from anxiety about the computer imperative: The need to make explicit the bases upon which we intend to take actions and to select among alternatives. However, properly understood, this imperative may in the long run not only require but permit more creative and flexible management and control systems in education, with the object of improving our capacity to predict consequences and to respond to rapidly changing circumstances.

Download or read book Better Decision Making in Complex Dynamic Tasks written by Hassan Qudrat-Ullah and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer simulation-based education and training is a multi-billion dollar industry. With the increased complexity of organizational decision making, projected demand for computer simulation-based decisional aids is on the rise. The objective of this book is to enhance systematically our understanding of and gain insights into the general process by which human facilitated ILEs are effectively designed and used in improving users’ decision making in dynamic tasks. This book is divided into four major parts. Part I serves as an introduction to the subject of “decision making in dynamic tasks”, its importance and its complexity. Part II provides background material, drawing upon the relevant literature, for the development of an integrated process model on the effectiveness of human facilitated ILEs in improving decision making in dynamic tasks. Part III focuses on the design, development and application of Fish Bank ILE, in laboratory experiments, to gather empirical evidence for the validity of the process model. Finally, part IV presents a comprehensive analysis of the gathered data to provide a powerful basis for understating important phenomena of training with human facilitated simulation-based learning environments, thereby, help to drive critical lessons to be learned. This book provides the reader with both a comprehensive understanding of the phenomena encountered in decision making with human facilitated ILEs and a unique way of studying the effects of these phenomena on people’s ability to make better decision in complex, dynamic tasks. This book is intended to be of use to managers and practitioners, researchers and students of dynamic decision making. The background material of Part II provides a solid base to understand and organize the existing experimental research literature and approaches.

Download or read book Computer Assisted Career Decision Making written by Martin R. Katz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discussing career decision making (CDM), career guidance, a computerized system of career guidance, and the interplay among them, this book describes the way people sort themselves, or are sorted, into educational and occupational options. The options represent the content of this book, and the sorting represents the process. The sequence of decisions may extend over a lifetime, but several crucial choice-points tend to occur at predictable stages in a career. Career guidance is a professional intervention in CDM; "professional" implies that practitioners conform to a standard of ethics, knowledge, and competence beyond what may be offered by other intervenors. Guidance is partly an art, but it is also partly a science -- at least an application of science, based on a synthesis of logic and evidence derived from research. The computerized System of Interactive Guidance and Information (SIGI) is a designated guidance "treatment," clearly defined and specified. It was developed according to an explicit model, derived from a particular rationale for guidance, using modern technology to amplify the practice of career guidance. The current version -- called SIGI PLUS TM -- is being used at more than a thousand colleges and universities, as well as secondary schools, libraries, corporations, community-based organizations, and counseling agencies. These three interdependent topics are treated in a progression: from a theory of CDM to a rationale and a model for guidance to the design and development of a system. This book weaves together theory (principles, propositions, rationales, and models), research and development. The product of that development, SIGI, helps to define theory, to exemplify it, and to test it.
Download or read book Data based Decision Making in Education written by Kim Schildkamp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a context where schools are held more and more accountable for the education they provide, data-based decision making has become increasingly important. This book brings together scholars from several countries to examine data-based decision making. Data-based decision making in this book refers to making decisions based on a broad range of evidence, such as scores on students’ assessments, classroom observations etc. This book supports policy-makers, people working with schools, researchers and school leaders and teachers in the use of data, by bringing together the current research conducted on data use across multiple countries into a single volume. Some of these studies are ‘best practice’ studies, where effective data use has led to improvements in student learning. Others provide insight into challenges in both policy and practice environments. Each of them draws on research and literature in the field.

Download or read book Handbook of Data Based Decision Making in Education written by Theodore Kowalski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education has fought long and hard to gain acceptance as a profession and, since professionals by definition use data to shape the decisions they make, education has little choice but to continue moving in this direction. This 3-part handbook represents a major contribution to the literature of education. It is a unique compendium of the most original work currently available on how, when and why evidence should be used to ground practice. It is a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary, research-based, and practice-based resource that all educators can turn to as a guide to data-based decision making. The Handbook of Data-Based Decision Making in Education is a must read for researchers who are just beginning to explore the scientifically based nature of educational practice. It is also appropriate for policy makers and practitioners who are confronted with young people who need to be in classrooms where "best practices" are the norm and not the exception.
