Logo Mastery and Spatial Problem-Solving by Young Children: Effects of Logo Language Training, Route-Strategy Training, and Learning Styles on Immediate Learning and Transfer.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Watson, J. Allen; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Describes a study that examined preschoolers' abilities to learn problem solving with LOGO, learn new strategies to use during problem solving, and transfer computer learning to other settings. Differences in the effectiveness of LOGO learning for field-dependent versus field-independent learning styles are discussed. (65 references) (LRW)

Learning with Computers in Small Groups: Cognitive and Affective Outcomes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mevarech, Zemira R.; And Others – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1991
Examines the effects of cooperative and individualistic computer-assisted instruction (CAI) programs on cognitive and affective variables in Israeli grade six mathematics classes. Analyses of the data indicate that students who used CAI for drill and practice in pairs performed better than students who used the same program individually. (30…

Effects of Orienting Activities and Instructional Control on Learning Facts and Procedures from Interactive Video.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tovar, Mariela; Coldevin, Gary – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Describes a study that was designed to investigate the interaction between three levels of instructional control (i.e., linear, mixed, and learner) and provision of an orienting activity on college students' learning of factual and procedural knowledge via interactive video. Instructional time and recall of facts and procedures are examined. (35…
