Underhill, Robert G. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1986
The goals of the Research Council for Diagnostic and Prescriptive Mathematics (RCDPM) and the extent to which they are being realized are considered. Also discussed is the role of RCDPM in the broader mathematics education community, as well as some challenges and future directions. (MNS)
Descriptors: Diagnostic Teaching, Educational Philosophy, Educational Research, Mathematics Education
Engelhardt, Jon M. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1985
Discusses three purposes of mathematics clinics, indicating that the resultant organizational structure of a particular clinic and the underlying values are intimately related to the identified purposes and that the precise character of a clinic is based on the relative emphasis ascribed to the different purposes. (JN)

Wachsmuth, Ipke; Lorenz, Jens-Holger – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Analysis of errors children make is modeled both with and without computers. Patterns of thinking are traced for a fifth grader, with the discussion focused on getting clues for remedial instruction by analyzing the dialog. (MNS)

Beattie, Ian D.; Scheer, Janet K. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1985
Discusses the nature and importance of iconic learning (image-related) and a medium to facilitate assessment at the iconic level of knowing. The medium consists of a series of self-inking rubber stamps made with iconic representations of numeration blocks and sticks in denominations of 1, 10, and 100. (JN)

Rachlin, Sidney L.; And Others – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Describes a research methodology known as the teaching experiment and details an example of a teaching experiment aimed at the development of a process-oriented algebra curriculum. Addresses other possible variations of the teaching experiment, emphasizing the cooperation of teachers and researchers. (TW)

Underhill, Robert G.; And Others – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Presents the major findings identified by a commission that examined research issues in diagnostic and prescriptive mathematics. Addresses the diagnostic process with regard to curriculum, instruction, learners, teacher education, clinics, and the mathematics education community. (TW)

Clayton, Gypsy Abbott; McEntire, Elizabeth – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1988
Describes the four competencies which are argued to be necessary for being an effective remedial mathematics teacher. Describes a training model which has been developed for preservice and inservice teachers based on these competencies. (PK)
