Base Text

Describes the conception, gestation and birth of the author’s recently published concordance to the Gilbert & Sullivan operas.* The background and history of the project, and the author’s qualifications for the task, arc discussed with consideration of the problems facing the concordance-maker—the basic decisions that have to be made and the technical points involved. Base text, arrangement and use, and exclusions are all covered, together with an explanation as to why the concordance was not computer-generated. The mechanics of manual compilation are outlined, as is the preparation of camera-ready copy using a microcomputer-based word-processing program.

Descriptive Method

This study aims to describe the initial competency of the training participants in the Substantive Technical Training on Competency Enhancement of Multimedia-Based Learning Media in the Ministry of Religion of Pangandaran District in 2018 totaling 30 people. The study used descriptive method with a research instrument in the form of a closed questionnaire to all training participants and simple data processing in percentage form. The results showed that the initial competency of participants in the word processing program was 28.89%, internet for learning 33.33%, basic concepts of hardware and software 34.67%, number processing program 35.56% and word processing program 47.78%, so that the average of all aspects of the program is at 35.78%.  Keywords: Initial Competency, training, Information and Communication technology, multimedia.

The Look

We describe a template to create concept cards in psychology courses using a word processing program. Students create their own individualized cards, which have the look and feel of flashcards and retain the same self-testing and monitoring features. Students report the template is easy to use, that the cards help them focus their study behavior and employ critical thinking skills in learning class material. We offer several suggestions on how to use the cards.

Processing Program

THIS ARTICLE springs from my experiences when I submitted a piece to English Today that contained characters from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). I had used a font containing such characters that came with my word-processing program, and I submitted the article electronically as a file attachment. Unfortunately, the characters did not arrive in the same form as they had left, owing to incompatibility between the two computer systems, and so there were parts of the article that did not make much sense. The editor graciously reprinted it in its correct form in the following issue (ET80).

Question Prompt

AbstractResearchers who study the writing process have found that beginning writers do little spontaneous revising of their own texts. This study explores the possibility that beginning writers do not revise because they do not read their own writing. The assumption behind the study is that explicit self-questioning strategies would engage young writers in reading their texts; thus they would become more active revisers. The experimental intervention is a question-prompt computer program (added to a word processing program) that guides the 11 to 16-year-old subjects to examine their own writing by asking themselves questions about their texts. This process was intended to engage the subjects in reading the text closely and revising more extensively. Analyses of the number and nature of revisions indicate that self-reflective question-prompts engage students in reading their texts and lead to significant changes in revising strategy.

Different Levels

This research examined the effects of different types of documentation on the performance of users with different levels of experience on a word-processing program. Three forms of documentation (global overview, detailed step-by-step, and combined global and detailed) were presented to undergraduates with high, medium, and low levels of computer experience. Dependent measures were problem-solving behavior using a word-processing program, the amount of information retained by the participants about the program, and subjective reactions to the documentation. The results indicated that (a) combined global and detailed documentation was, in general, superior to either type of documentation alone; (b) more experienced users were superior in reading documentation more quickly and solving problems more quickly, but they did not have significantly better recall or recognition of components of the program; and (c) the effects of type of documentation did not interact with the level of user's experience.
