Research and applications: Artificial intelligence

The program is reported for developing techniques in artificial intelligence and their application to the control of mobile automatons for carrying out tasks autonomously. Visual scene analysis, short-term problem solving, and long-term problem solving are discussed along with the PDP-15 simulator, LISP-FORTRAN-MACRO interface, resolution strategies, and cost effectiveness

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE I-READY AND WORD GENERATION INTERVENTIONS ON MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS

The increasing number of children who struggle with reading and writing has become a significant challenge for the nation’s public schools. The purpose of this quantitative study was to explore the relationship between which intervention a student gets and ELA scores of the online reading program i-Ready compared to the Word Generation program in regards to the reading and writing levels of New York City middle school students. The researcher compared New York City state test scores to determine how student reading levels measured with the i-Ready program vs the Word Generation program. This showed which program had a greater effect on reading and writing levels of middle school students. The researcher also measured the relationship of each intervention individually on general education students, students with disabilities, and English language learners. Participants were based on quota sampling. This was a secondary data analysis of existing publicly available data. The researcher accessed school and grade level data that was listed on a public NYC website. This data was gathered as a part of regular assessment and data collection by the state. The researcher requested the standard deviation of the scale scores from the RPSG research department. Participants were a sample of 1324 students, in a middle school in New York, over 2 school years. Participants also had different tiered levels such as ELL, special education and general education. The results showed that there is no statistically significant difference between ELA test scores on the NYS Common Core Exam for students who received the i-Ready intervention in 7th Grade and/or Word Generation intervention in 8th Grade. The results also showed that there was a statistically significant difference in measurements across subgroups of student groups (GenEd, SWD, ELL) and interventions received (I-Ready, Word Generation, No Intervention). Future research should explore individual student level data. Recommendations for educators are discussed

A history of libraries in Jamaica: 1697-1987

The History traces the development of libraries in Jamaica from the late seventeenth century to the present day. It examines reasons for the spate of anti-popery material in the earliest collections, and treats the subsequent story within the context of socio-economic conditions. Note is taken of the efforts of Ministers of Religion to inculcate the habit of reading among both the white and black population, as a means of improving their minds and strengthening their moral fibre. Increasing respect for books and demand for information appear, as the country puts aside its colonial status and assumes responsibility for its own destiny. The History documents the growth of the Jamaica Library Service, the emergence of the National Library of Jamaica, and the establishment of NACOLADS (the National Council on Libraries, Archives and Documentation Services) now regarded as a model for such development in the Third World
