Bright, George W. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
How computers have affected diagnosis in mathematics is discussed. A distinction is made between errors and mistakes, followed by consideration of computers as a diagnostic tool. The development of algorithms to diagnose errors and of models of student performance is described. (MNS)
Descriptors: Cognitive Development, Computer Assisted Instruction, Diagnostic Teaching, Elementary Secondary Education
Wachsmuth, Ipke; Lorenz, Jens-Holger – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Analysis of errors children make is modeled both with and without computers. Patterns of thinking are traced for a fifth grader, with the discussion focused on getting clues for remedial instruction by analyzing the dialog. (MNS)
Descriptors: Case Studies, Cognitive Processes, Computer Simulation, Diagnostic Teaching
Scandura, Joseph M.; Scandura, Alice B. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Research on structural learning theory is reviewed as a base for designing computer-assisted instruction programs. An intelligent "Rule Tutor" emphasizing diagnosis and remediation for whole number concepts is described. (MNS)

McLeod, Terry M. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1985
This study surveyed 91 special education teachers to determine perceived mathematical needs of exceptional children, ways teachers assess skill deficits, and teachers' methods and backgrounds. The continuum of skills corresponded to the standard curriculum. (MNS)
