Computer Learning and Appropriate Testing: A First Step in Validity Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Baird, William E.; Silvern, Steven B. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1992
Describes a study of college students that investigated the interaction between instructional mode and testing mode. Computer learning and testing versus paper-and-pencil methods are compared, and treatments for the experimental and control groups are described. Areas for further research are suggested.

The Changing Nature of Teaching and Learning in Computer-Based Classrooms.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Swan, Karen; Mitrani, Marco – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1993
Discussion of changes in learning as a result of computer-assisted instruction focuses on a study that compared interactions between at-risk high school students and teachers. Use of two different integrated learning systems with interactions between the same students and teachers during traditional classroom instruction was examined. (Contains 26…

Teaching Educational Computing with Analogies: A Strategy to Enhance Concept Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Galloway, Jerry P. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1992
The effects of teaching with analogies on students' conceptual understanding and explanations of educational computing were examined with three groups of preservice teachers in a computer literacy course. Students who were taught using complete analogies were found to have a better grasp of computing concepts than those taught using undeveloped…
