Goldman, Susan R.; Pellegrino, James W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1987
Research is reviewed on the use of microcomputer technology with learning disabled students in two major areas: (1) extended practice and its role in the development of increased automaticity of basic information processing skills; and (2) problem solving and metacognitive activities. (Author/DB)

McCoy, Leah P. – 1989
Results of empirical research relating computer programming instruction and understanding of the concept of mathematical variables is unclear. While some studies have found a positive relationship, others have reported nonsignificant results. The purpose of this study was to investigate high school students' (n=36) understanding of the concept of…

Bowen, Susan; And Others – Gifted Education International, 1992
This study compared the use by 6 gifted and 6 nongifted students (ages 10 and 11) of a software package designed to develop cognitive control strategies. Bright students more often used a plan in their strategy, offered suggestions for improving the software, and monitored their own performance. (Author/DB)

Duckworth, Eleanor; And Others – 1985
The Educational Technology Center (ETC) Complex Systems Project was initiated to explore ways of using computers to help students understand systems which have often proven too complex for most high school students to understand. Preliminary work concentrated on the cognitive processes involved in modeling simple systems. This paper describes an…

Clements, Douglas H.; Battista, Michael T. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1990
Presented is a study which focused on using turtle graphics programing for geometric problem solving. The goal was to investigate changes in children's mathematical knowledge and results indicate that the LOGO environment enriched children's geometric conceptualizations and sophistication of their geometric thinking.

Wagner, Sigrid, Ed.; Kieran, Carolyn, Ed. – 1989
This publication contains revised versions of the major papers presented at a research conference on the learning and teaching of algebra. The papers and discussions focused on four major themes: what is algebra and what should it become, in light of continuing technological advances; what has research told us about the teaching and learning of…

Jaspers, Monique W. M.; van Lieshout, Ernest C. D. M. – 1987
A training procedure was developed to improve (or to encourage) the construction of a meaningful problem representation by mentally retarded and learning disabled children. Children are taught to use an external visual representation for arithmetic word problems, in which the meaning of the problem is reflected. The construction of this visual…

Mestre, Jose P.; And Others – 1988
This study investigated the effects of constraining freshmen physics students to follow an expert-like approach in analyzing mechanics problems. A computer-based, problem analysis environment was constructed that allowed novices to actively engage in performing a qualitative analysis of problems according to a hierarchy which combined declarative…

DeSiano, Michael; DeSiano, Salvatore – 1995
This document provides an introduction to the relationship between the current knowledge of focused and creative thinking and artificial intelligence. A model for stages of focused and creative thinking gives: problem encounter/setting, preparation, concentration/incubation, clarification/generation and evaluation/judgment. While a computer can…
