Brophy, Jere; Hannon, Patrick – 1984
Present and potential classroom applications of microcomputers are examined in this literature review, which was conducted to identify both unjustified and well-founded claims about the advantages offered by the introduction of computers into classroom instruction. Conclusions presented indicate that: (1) such applications are being oversold by…

Henisz-Thompson, Bozena – 1979
A review of the state of machine translation considers the historical development of the process, how it works, and results of users' evaluations. Machine translation is the process of translating one language into another through the use of the computer, following the linguistic and computational instructions supplied to it by human researchers…

Reggini, Horacio C. – 1983
The first article, "LOGO and von Neumann Ideas," deals with the creation of new procedures based on procedures defined and stored in memory as LOGO lists of lists. This representation, which enables LOGO procedures to construct, modify, and run other LOGO procedures, is compared with basic computer concepts first formulated by John von…

Pea, Roy D.; And Others – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
An overall schema of interpretation for programming instructors is given, so that the misconceptions students develop in programming can be determined more readily. Types of language-independent and -dependent bugs, how they can be identified, and how to help students overcome them are addressed. (MNS)

Walker, Alice D. – 1984
Using the book "Mindstorms--Children, Computers and Powerful Ideas" as a reference point, this paper deals with the sociological challenges raised by Seymour Papert and explores such issues as the role of computers as carriers of powerful ideas and the seeds of cultural change. Recent studies are cited indicating that although the…

Strenglein, Denise – Association for Institutional Research, 1980
It is suggested that much thought should be given to choosing an appropriate computer language for an institutional research office, considering the sophistication of the staff, types of planned application, size and type of computer, and availability of central programming support in the institution. For offices that prepare straight reports and…

Cugini, John V. – 1984
This study presents a review of selection factors for the seven major general-purpose programming languages: Ada, BASIC, C, COBOL, FORTRAN, PASCAL, and PL/I. The factors covered include not only the logical operations within each language, but also the advantages and disadvantages stemming from the current computing environment, e.g., software…

Manzo, Anthony V. – 1981
This paper discusses computers and their potential role in education. The term "byte" is first explained, to emphasize the idea that the use of computers should be implemented one "byte" or step at a time. The reasons for this approach are then outlined. Potential applications in computer usage in educational administration are suggested, computer…

Hawkins, Jan – 1982
With increasing attention being given to the importance of microcomputers in the schools, there is concern about how new teachers can best be prepared to use the new technology effectively. This paper presents a perspective on teacher training based on three categories in which computers may be used in the classroom: to provide unique learning…
