| Summary: | Two projects on the design, development, implementation, and evaluation of a man-machine system for counseling in the palo alto and los Angeles school districts are reported. The earlier philco 2000 computer programs simulated a counselor's work in the educational planning interview by accepting inputs such as school grades, test scores, and biographical data. It analyzed data according to an inferred model of the counselor's decision-making rules, and printed out evaluative statements. An automated educational interview program now reviews student progress, collects comments from the student, reacts to student plans, and helps plan a high school course schedule. The current project, in the initial design phase, included a survey of counselor practices, selected an experimental field site, analyzed counseling operations in the field site, and trained counselors in systems technology and lab development of limited software systems. A plan was formulated to computerize the major information-processing tasks in the counseling operation. The development, implementation, and evaluation phases will follow. A sample interview is included. This paper was presented at the American psychological association convention, New York, N.y., September 4, 1966. (wr) |
