Caprio, Michelle; Brown, William R. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Surveyed currently available software in the physical sciences, biological sciences, and earth/space sciences. Also examined interdisciplnary and remedial programs. One finding is that the emphasis in science education software is for high school and college students with little software for junior high school teachers or students. (JN)

Bollinger, Galen – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Presented are some current facts about symbol manipulators and their relation to high school mathematics. The development of computer algebra systems is discussed. Five areas of computer algebra needing investigation (skill proficiency, understanding, curriculum content, student homework, and equity) are identified. (MVL)

Swadener, Marc; Jarrett, Karen – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987
Discusses the results of a survey on the usage of computers in secondary schools. Indicates that the majority of use was by computer classes; more staff development is needed for teachers of non-computer classes; and there is insufficient hardware and software available for non-computer classes. (TW)
