Denvir, B.; Brown, M. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1986
Two teaching studies were conducted, based on a descriptive framework and diagnostic interviews described previously. In the pilot study, low-achieving students were taught individually; in the main study, they were taught in a group. Performance improved in both cases. (MNS)

Wong, Bernice Y. L. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 1997
Describes three years of research in intensive long-term writing intervention with adolescents with learning disabilities (LD) and low achievement. Successful intervention was attributed to the genre-specific strategies used, the focused and intensive nature of the writing instruction, and the use of interactive dialogs in conferences between…

Marshall, Hermine H. – 1987
This paper maintains that learning for the purpose of understanding is central to classes that are oriented towards learning. Such classes, which can be said to have a "learning orientation," can be differentiated from classes where an emphasis on performance or doing work increases the likelihood of rote or short-term learning. Four…

Kupari, Pekka, Ed. – 1987
This fourth yearbook on research on mathematics teaching in Finland contains five articles, four in English and the fifth in German. "Mathematics as a Cognitive Science" (C. Letteri) examines cognitive aspects related to teaching and learning mathematics, with the focus on the different levels of comprehension and an analysis of basic…

Clark, Richard E.; And Others – 1987
Instructional research is reviewed where teaching failures have produced students who seem to be less able to use learning skills or had less access to knowledge in some domain than before they were taught. Three general types of "mathemathantic" (i.e. where instruction "kills" learning) effects are hypothesized, theoretical…

Anderson, Linda M.; And Others – 1981
The response to seatwork assignments of 26 high and low achievers in 8 first grade classrooms was examined. Students were observed during five half-days of school over a five to six month period. Teachers were interviewed twice during the year, with particular attention being paid to how they handled selecting seatwork assignments, presented them…

Fields, Barry A. – Exceptional Child, 1987
Twenty primary school teachers using the resource room model with low performing, mildly intellectually handicapped, or learning disabled children in Queensland (Australia) were surveyed on their use of teacher effectiveness research in teaching procedures and functions. Effectiveness research was found to be generalizable to special and remedial…

Hillel, Joel; And Others – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1992
Examines the potential role for Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) when teaching courses as functions, calculus, and linear algebra to students with low prerequisite algebra skills. A study reports the rationale, planning, and implementation of a functions course integrating Maple CAS into instruction. (MDH)

Gattiker, Urs E. – 1988
This study examines the effects of academic ability (in average and lower ability students), gender, and teaching methods on students' acquisition of computer skills. Subjects were 247 college students who had completed a computer course using intelligent workstations in any one of six consecutive semesters. A combination of lecture and hands-on…

Muscella, Deborah – 1987
The central theme of this paper is that multimethod, multitrait research is essential to uncover learning beliefs and learning structures. The year-long social-ecological study clearly illustrated the efficacy of such a research process. This was a study of the elements of a kindergarten classroom environment and the beliefs that parents,…
