Program Control: Branching and Repetitive Calculations

The purpose of this study was to analyze motivational effects of type of instructional control on learning from computer-based instruction, according to Keller's ARCS model of motivational design. Forty-eight sixth graders were randomly assigned to either learner or program control groups. Instructional materials were computer-based instructional programs for teaching four concepts utilized in advertisement propaganda techniques. The post-test with fifteen items for learning and Instructional Motivation Measurement Survey with thirty-six statements for motivation were used. The results showed that the group under program control performed better on the post-test than the group under learner control, but there was not a significant difference in Keller's ARCS motivational factors between two groups. Regardless of type of instructional control, however, the level of satisfaction among the factors was higher than that of confidence in the instruction. Such results suggest that ARCS motivational factors in designing effective instructional control strategies can be considered.

This research was conducted due to several problems, including: weak annual work program planning, weak program control, this research was conducted on 60 people involved in the Technical Implementation Unit in Rantau Pandan using the survey method with a descriptive qualitative approach with the aim of knowing how far. where is the implementation of the Technical Service Unit of the Rantau Pandan District Education Office. The results obtained: the duties and functions have not been carried out optimally, in providing direction it is quite good, there is still a lack of supervision carried out and from the results above there are several conditions that cause this to occur including the skill factor and the employee discipline factor.

Nonzero Equilibrium

Controlled dynamic systems with an entropy operator (DSEO) are considered. Mathematical models of such systems were used to study the dynamic properties in demo-economic systems, the spatiotemporal evolution of traffic flows, recurrent procedures for restoring images from projections, etc. Three problems of the study of DSEO are considered: the existence and uniqueness of singular points and the influence of control on them; stability in “large” of the singular points; and optimization of program control with linear feedback. The theorems of existence, uniqueness, and localization of singular points are proved using the properties of equations with monotone operators and the method of linear majorants of the entropy operator. The theorem on asymptotic stability of the DSEO in “large” is proven using differential inequalities. Methods for the synthesis of quasi-optimal program control and linear feedback control with integral quadratic quality functional, and ensuring the existence of a nonzero equilibrium, were developed. A recursive method for solving the integral equations of the DSEO using the multidimensional functional power series and the multidimensional Laplace transform was developed. The problem of managing regional foreign direct investment is considered, the distribution of flows is modeled by the corresponding DSEO. It is shown that linear feedback control is a more effective tool than program control.
