Peer reviewedSalomon, Gavriel; Perkins, D. N. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1987
Discusses the impact of computer programing instruction on cognitive skills and suggests two mechanisms of transfer--low road, from practice, and high road, from generalization. Previous research that tried to measure transfer from programing is reviewed, six categories in which transfer might occur are presented, and 71 references are provided.…

Peer reviewedAllen, Brockenbrough S.; Merrill, M. David – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1985
Presents a theoretical framework for designing computer-based systems that guide students in learning strategy selection; compares theories for determining when system-assigned strategies will promote knowledge and skill acquisitions; reviews relationship between learning and instructional strategies; and outlines potential applications of…

Peer reviewedShavelson, Richard J.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1985
This study describes how elementary and secondary California teachers nominated as successful in their microcomputer-based instruction teach science and mathematics, and how their computer usage varies in relation to (1) teacher characteristics (computer and subject matter knowledge, and attitudes toward computers); and (2) district, school, and…

Peer reviewedMandinach, Ellen B. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1987
This study investigated the degree to which seventh- and eighth-grade students of different abilities acquired strategic planning knowledge from a problem-solving computer game called Wumpus. Regression analysis was used to determine the influences of individual differences and either activating or modeling instruction, and to assess transfer of…

Peer reviewedCollet, LeVerne S.; Shiffler, Nancy L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1985
A study was conducted to assess effectiveness of a computer simulation which exposed students to three levels of real-life research situations as laboratory experience accompanying graduate level research design course. Simulation effects on achievement, perceived research competence, interest in research, and effects of differing amounts of…

Peer reviewedDalbey, John; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1985
Surveys recent literature on computer programing focusing on psychological studies of the programing task and selected instructional issues related to precollege programing. The cognitive demands and outcomes of programing, the influence of instruction on learning, and individual differences in outcomes of programing are specifically addressed.…
