Peer reviewedMadeo, Laurence A.; Bird, David A. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1990
Discussion of the benefits of allowing programers to use their own words in programing focuses on a study of graduate students that tested whether an experimental group who specified their own operation codes performed better than a control group who used fixed codes. The results of regression analyses are discussed, and future research needs are…

Peer reviewedvan Merrienboer, Jeroen J. G. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1990
Describes two experiments, one with undergraduates and one with high school students, that tested instructional strategies for teaching computer programing. The cognitive styles of impulsivity and reflection are examined, completion strategy versus generation strategy is tested, and results support a preferential model rather than a compensatory…

Peer reviewedMarcinkiewicz, Henryk R. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1994
Reports on a study examining how well several personal variables predict elementary school teachers' use of computers for teaching. Variables examined included innovativeness, teacher locus of control, perceived relevance of computers, and self-competence in using computers. Data on age, gender, and years of computer experience were also…

Peer reviewedCousins, J. Bradley; Ross, John A. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1993
Describes a study that investigated the use of the computer as a tool for improving high school students' correlational reasoning skills. Treatment of experimental and control groups is described; previous studies of tool-mode computer-based instruction are reviewed; and cooperative group learning and student attitudes are discussed. (Contains 44…
