LINEAR PROGRAMMING [3 records]

Record 1 2012-07-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Programs and Programming
  • Education Theory and Methods
DEF

In programmed instruction, a technique whereby set sequences of items present information in small units and require a response from the student at each step; the steps are so designed that errors are minimal for even the slower students.

CONT

The methodology of linear programming is derived from the principles of operant conditioning, the basic law of which states "if the occurrence of an operant is followed by the presentation of reinforcing stimulus, the strength is increased" (Skinner, 1938).

CONT

... the main contribution of linear programming is its emphasis on the importance of feedback and individualisation, twin gods much worshipped in the computer assisted learning literature.

OBS

As opposed to "branching programming."

English

Subject field(s)
  • Farm Management and Policy
  • Agricultural Economics
  • Economic Planning
DEF

A mathematical method of determining an optimal combination of inputs to maximize (or minimize) an objective in which the input variables involved are subject to constraint.

OBS

In agricultural projects, occasionally used to optimize cropping patterns to maximize income. In practice, requires a computer.

OBS

In farm management, a formal type of budgeting.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Gestion et politique agricole
  • Économie agricole
  • Planification économique
OBS

En gestion agricole, méthode économétrique.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Gestión y política agrícola
  • Economía agrícola
  • Planificación económica
DEF

Es un método matemático para determinar una combinación óptima de insumos, a fin de maximizar (o minimizar) un objetivo en el que las variables de insumos que intervienen están sujetas a limitaciones.

OBS

En los proyectos agrícolas se utiliza ocasionalmente para optimizar las secuencias de cultivos, con objeto de maximizar el ingreso. En la práctica, exige una computadora.
