Donovan, William – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2008
This paper reports the findings of a study of student attitudes and student improvement in conceptual understanding using conceptests with an electronic response system in lecture courses. Students and instructors valued the feedback and interaction that the response system afforded. For a majority of the chemistry topics studied, student…

Reed, JoyLynn Hailey; Judkins, John – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Discusses a study that assessed how students felt about computers and how they perceived computers performed as instructional tools. A majority of the tested students indicated that the computer was a useful tool in their chemistry classes, that the labs were realistic, but computer grading should not be used. (ML)

Hauben, Myra H.; Lehman, James D. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Decribes a study which compared computer assisted instruction (CAI) with a parallel paper-and-pencil module to assess the impact on students' achievement and attitudes in chemistry. Supports the contention that CAI works as well or better than more traditional methods and tends to promote positive attitudes. (RT)
