Polly, Drew – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2008
American students continue to struggle on measures of student achievement. This study employed Hierarchical Linear Modeling to estimate a two-level model and examine the influences of calculator use and teachers' instructional practices on student achievement in mathematics amongst first-grade students. The outcome variable was mathematics test…

Janke, Robert W.; Pilkey, Peter J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1985
Found that there was significantly improved achievement of students whose teachers received diagnostic error information from a microcomputer program compared to teachers who did not receive such information. Explanations for the improved achievement and implications for mathematics instruction are addressed. (JN)

Winer, Jane L.; Bellando, Jayne – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
This study reports that artistic and social vocational-personality characteristics are associated with greater anxiety and less involvement or success in mathematics and computer courses. A concept of population variability in computer anxiety which is associated with individual differences in vocational personality is supported. (MVL)

Kelly, Gwendolyn N.; And Others – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987
Reports on a study designed to further investigate whether structured Logo learning experiences would have a positive influence on student understanding of selected basic geometry concepts. Results indicated more than just one year of Logo instruction would be needed to improve students understanding of simple angle and distance concepts. (TW)

Stiff, Lee V.; And Others – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
This study highlights two groups of students enrolled in a college mathematics of finance course using same textbook and instructor. Experimental group used menu-driven symbolic calculators, whereas control group used standard scientific calculators. Significant increases in favor of experimental group were found both with respect to students'…
