Fey, James T. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1989
Provided is an overview and analysis of recent progress in applying electronic information technology to creation of new environments for intellectual work in mathematics. Describes the impact of numerical computation, graphic computation, symbolic computation, multiple representation of information, programing and information, and artificial…

Mandell, Alan; Lucking, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Discusses programs to provide a knowledge base and use the knowledge in a mode of artificial intelligence. Indicates that two methods of database storage are possible and opts to use a method using many data files while using a small RAM capacity. Lists several programs. (MVL)

Nowaczyk, Ronald H. – 1983
Research directed toward a better understanding of the computer user/computer machine relationship has increased in recent years. To identify what factors may predict success in computer programming, 286 college students from three computer classes (160 from introductory programming; 60 from Cobol programming; and 66 from senior level programming)…

Linton, M. J.; And Others – 1987
Use of a computer programming language in problem-solving activities provides an opportunity to examine how young children use a restricted set of language primitives. The generation, and execution of computer instructions was used as a verification stage in the problem-solution process. The metric is intended to provide a descriptive…

Cuneo, Diane O. – 1986
Turtle graphics is a popular vehicle for introducing children to computer programming. Children combine simple graphic commands to get a display screen cursor (called a turtle) to draw designs on the screen. The purpose of this study was to examine young children's abilities to function in a simple computer programming environment. Four- and…

Blume, Glendon W.; Schoen, Harold L. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1988
Mathematical problem-solving processes used by 27 eighth graders who had studied programming were compared to those of 27 who had not. Programmers used more systematic approaches and reviewed solutions more often than nonprogrammers but did not make more use of equations or do more planning. (PK)

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)

Swadener, Marc; Jarrett, Karen – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987
Discusses the results of a survey on the usage of computers in secondary schools. Indicates that the majority of use was by computer classes; more staff development is needed for teachers of non-computer classes; and there is insufficient hardware and software available for non-computer classes. (TW)

Ali, Mahir; Perkins, Sharon – Technological Horizons in Education, 1987
Reports on a survey of universities in the United States which offer computer science graduate programs. Summarizes findings relating to the general attributes of responding universities, hardware and software resources, graduate student entry requirements, and courses of study. (TW)

Audi, M. S. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 1987
Suggests a method of integrating teaching microcomputer graphics in engineering curricula without encroaching on the fundamental engineering courses. Includes examples of engineering graphics produced by commercial programs and others produced by high-level language programing in a limited credit hour segment of an educational program. (CW)

Mei, Dolores M.; And Others – 1987
The Math Skills Program of the New York City Public Schools is designed to provide remediation in mathematics for students who have mathematics scores that are two or more years below grade level, or who have failed the Mathematics Regents Competency Test. During the 1985-86 school year, 58,192 students from 113 high schools participated in the…

Jansson, Lars C.; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1987
Discusses the claims that experiences in computer programming enhance performance on conditional reasoning tasks. Describes three experimental studies designed to address that hypothesis using three different populations of students. Results of all three studies indicate nonsignificant treatment effects. (TW)

Mandinach, Ellen B.; Linn, Marcia C. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1986
In this review of the research on how current computer learning environments can foster the acquisition of complex cognitive skills, two issues emerge: (1) what cognitive accomplishments are likely in the computer environment; and (2) what factors predispose students to benefit from the environment. (MBR)

Educational Technology Center, Cambridge, MA. – 1984
The Educational Technology Center (ETC) was established by the National Institute of Education in October, 1983, in order to find ways of using the computer and other information technologies to teach science, mathematics, and computing more effectively. This report describes the ETC, presents its framework for research, and summarizes work on 14…
