Berenson, Sarah B.; Stiff, Lee V. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Compared are the survey responses on practices and perceptions on computer uses in classroom between a faculty group involved in changing 10 undergraduate courses in mathematics and science education (n=25) and a group of regular faculty (n=60). There were no significant differences between two groups except on the use of inquiry and guided…
