Collins, M. A. J.; Earle, P. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Investigated the effects of units using computers and computer-administered tests. The greatest benefit was attained by those using the units and attending lectures. Students using both the units and tests did not perform as well as the lecture only group. Explores the correlation between high school grades and the methods. (Author/YP)
