Interactions of Student Partners in a High School Astronomy Computer Lab.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McLellan, Hilary – Computers in the Schools, 1994
Reports the results of a study that examined the patterns of interactions of high school student partners engaged in problem-solving activities while working through computer simulation activities in an astronomy lab. Observations, interviews with teachers and students, and a software program evaluation are discussed. (LRW)

The Microcomputer and the Hidden Curriculum.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Olds, Henry F. – Computers in the Schools, 1985
Argues that the computer will make a major difference because it places within one total environment that teaches (the school) another total environment that teaches (the computer). A hopeful sign is the growing number of educational computer programs that use the computer effectively as a mind-tool rather than an instructional medium. (BBM)

Comparison of Teacher and Student Ratings of Microcomputer Software.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Callison, Daniel – Computers in the Schools, 1989
Reports on a program developed in Indiana public schools to hold software evaluation workshops that would compare teacher and student evaluations of the same software. The evaluation process is discussed; tutorials, drill and practice programs, simulations, and games are examined; and tests for correlation are described. (21 references) (LRW)

An Example of Software Development and Authoring with HyperCard: Creating an Interactive Video Simulation for Teaching Basic Principles of Classroom Management to Pre-Service Teachers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Overbaugh, Richard C. – Computers in the Schools, 1994
Describes the development of an interactive video simulation, the "Classroom Management Simulation," that teaches eight basic principles of classroom management to preservice teachers. Highlights include the instructional design process, including task analysis; the use of HyperCard for programming; and results of field testing. (LRW)

Issues and Concerns in Special Education Microcomputing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Maddux, Cleborne D. – Computers in the Schools, 1986
Discussion of microcomputer use in public elementary schools focuses on the field of special education. Two main ways of using computers are described: (1) traditional uses, including administration, computer-assisted instruction, and assessment; and (2) new applications, including programming, word processing, simulations, and prosthetic aids…
