Balian, Edward S. – 1987
Problems encountered in teaching multiple linear regression forecasting are described, and methods of dealing with such problems are outlined. Problems discussed include: (1) the irrelevance of instructional exercises, (2) data base sizing as a major area of regression "unreality", (3) difficulties in locating or using actual data, (4) neglect of…

Schimmel, Barry J. – 1988
This study investigated the relationship between learner attitudes (self-efficacy and anxiety), students' selection of feedback containing different amounts of information (no feedback, correct answer, the explanation alone, and the answer with an explanation), and achievement. Subjects were two clusters of college students (N=49) enrolled in a…

Chu, Hsiang-Chi Julie – 1987
Variables and conditions that influence the learning of computer-presented expository text were investigated in this study, in which on-screen underlining was used as a learning aid to increase "mindful" processing of information. The effects of three intervening variables--amount of invested mental effort (AIME), learning style, and…

Jackson, David F.; And Others – 1990
Recent research has demonstrated the promise of graphing software as an aid to teaching graphs in two content areas: line graphs of aspects of motion and graphs of algebraic functions. This study attempted to generalize the idea of computer-assisted graphing to include the use of several kinds of graphs to solve a wider range of problems. A unit…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the achievement and attitudinal effects of navigational behavior patterns and learner option choices in using a hypermedia-based computer-assisted instruction (CAI) unit designed for college students. Also investigated were the effects of two incentive structures on achievement and attitudes, as well as…
