Peer reviewedLauman, Daylene J. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 2000
Examines issues related to the role of home computers and how they may contribute to learning at school by students and the role parents can and should play. Recommends further research in this area, particularly in Alberta, where the mandatory implementation of an integrated approach to technology curriculum is beginning. (Author/LRW)

Peer reviewedThomas, Rex A.; Upah, Sylvester C., Jr. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1996
A study of college students revealed weaknesses in learning strategies and metacognitive skills. The students' experience using LOOPS simulation software to create program loops suggests that computer programming coursework may have substantial value for non-majors. (LRW)

Differential Characteristics and Methods of Operation Underlying CAI/CMI Drill and Practice Systems.
Peer reviewedHativa, Nira – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1988
Describes computer systems that combine drill and practice instruction with computer-managed instruction (CMI) and identifies system characteristics in four categories: (1) hardware, (2) software, (3) management systems, and (4) methods of daily operation. Topics discussed include microcomputer networks, graphics, feedback, degree of learner…
