Peer reviewedWaugh, Michael Leonard – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
Investigated: (1) immediate and continuing benefits associated with using microcomputer-assisted testing with 42 biology students; (2) types of students benefiting from microcomputer-administered diagnostic testing; and (3) the feasibility of microcomputer-administered diagnostic testing. One finding is that such testing positively influences…

McKenzie, Danny L.; Karnau, Sally A. – 1985
The effects of computer-based diagnostic testing on the laboratory achievement of 91 preservice elementary teachers were assessed. These teachers were enrolled in one of four laboratory sections of a general science course. Intact classes were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups. All students completed the same laboratory activities…

Hale, Michael E.; And Others – 1984
The graphics and animation capabilities of computers offer a new dimension in science testing. Instead of presenting verbal situations or questions with accompanying pictures, computers can present simulated actions and events that are the focus of science questions. The purpose of this project was to develop a valid and reliable computer-based…

Peer reviewedFletcher, P.; Collins, M. A. J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987
Reports on a study designed to determine whether or not biology students were being disadvantaged by taking computer tests instead of written paper forms of the same tests. Results indicated that mean scores on computer-administered and written forms of the same test were approximately equivalent. (TW)

Presented are abstracts and abstractors' analyses of 10 studies related to one or more aspects of teacher education and 2 studies in a "miscellaneous" category. Analyses in the first section (teacher education) are on studies of: the use of wait-time and its effect on science achievement; teacher competencies; the influence of teacher…
