Extract

This paper is divided into three sections. The first of these deals with the basic principles of Criterion-Based Instruction as a form of Data-Based Instruction. Such things as measurement procedures, instructional aims, using task analysis, and maintaining student records are discussed. Secondly, a project using Criterion-Based Instruction at the Townsville Special School during 1982 is outlined. This project utilised the Brigance Inventory materials, with special emphasis on the Inventory of Basic Skills. Finally the result of an evaluation of the use of the Inventories is presented and discussed. Data for the evaluation was obtained from the classroom teachers at the school.
