US Patent:

6364667, Apr 2, 2002

Filed:

Sep 20, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/399988

Inventors:

Paul Heinberg - Honolulu HI
Mark Marabella - Honolulu HI

Assignee:

Relational Technologies LLP - Honolulu HI

International Classification:

G09B 300

US Classification:

434322, 434353

Abstract:

A persons mastery of a body of knowledge is determined by having the person write objective questions for a test that is given to a group of test takers. The results of the test are then analyzed to determine how well the persons questions discriminated between those who did well on the test and those who did poorly. The better the questions discriminate, the more mastery the person has of the body of knowledge. In a learning situation, a cycle of study, writing questions, analyzing the results, and determining mastery may be repeated until the desired degree of mastery is reached. The technique may be used for individuals or groups and both the question writers and the test takers may work in teams. Question writers may also be test takers, and the evaluation of a question writer may reflect both the extent to which his or her questions discriminate and his or her performance on the test. Any medium may be used for communication between the question writers, test takers, and the parties making and giving the tests.

International Classification:

G06F 1760

US Classification:

702179, 705 10

Abstract:

Techniques for finding sets of values that are relevant to attaining desired results, determining discrepancies between how different entities regard a set of values, and employing the discrepancies to determine how well individuals âfitâ with other individuals or communities, how well communities fit with each other, how an entitys values compare with a desired set thereof, how an entitys values change over time, and what progress an entity is making towards acquiring value hierarchies that are useful in attaining the desired results. All of the techniques involve having entities assign values to hierarchies, with the values position in the hierarchy being represented by a rating number upon which arithmetic operations may be performed. Discrepancies between value systems may be determined by comparing the rating numbers which the entities assign the values. Values and ratings of them that are useful for attaining a desired result may be found by selecting values that appear to be useful for attaining the desired results and having sources rate the values and specify how well they have attained the desired result.

Appl. No.:

6/056075

Inventors:

Paul Heinberg - Honolulu HI

International Classification:

G09B 1904

US Classification:

434185

Abstract:

A method and apparatus of language communication instruction is disclosed which involves rotated peer dyads wherein instruction is carried out by pair discrimination and the students rotate momentarily and continuously among the three communication roles of producer of stimuli, respondent to stimuli and evaluator of stimuli and responses. Each given response will identify error in either the stimulus or the response without attributing the error to either partner of each dyad.
