Peer reviewedSingh, Jagjit Kaur – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1992
Presents a review of literature on programing in Logo, including prerequisites of programing, cognitive effects of programing, stages of programing, and levels of programing expertise. An analysis of the literature establishes the need for operationalizing problem solving with Logo, and a research strategy to meet this need is suggested. (32…

Peer reviewedLi, Zhongmin; Merrill, M. David – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1990
Discussion of courseware development focuses on a transaction shell approach that stresses flexibility and reusability of the courseware. Topics discussed include high-level programing languages, authoring languages, authoring systems, knowledge structures, and knowledge acquisition; and an example for applying the transaction shell approach to…

Peer reviewedHazen, Margret – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1987
Discussion of courseware for use with microcomputers focuses on criteria for selecting the appropriate authoring tool. Criteria are specified from the perspective of: (1) the content specialist or instructor; (2) the instructional designer or analyst; (3) the programer; and (4) the administrator of the instructional software.

Peer reviewedChoi, Won Sik; Repman, Judi – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1993
Describes a study that was conducted to determine whether learning to program a computer in Pascal or FORTRAN improved problem-solving skills of college students when compared to a control group and to determine which programing language was more effective in the development of problem-solving abilities. (26 references) (LRW)

Peer reviewedPrice, John A. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1987
Discusses microcomputer systems and networks and presents some economic considerations for their use in education. Highlights include the design of computer assisted instruction (CAI); the development of appropriate software; organization of lesson material; authoring systems and languages; and a checklist for designing or installing a CAI system.…

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 reviewedMurray-Lasso, Marco – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1990
Describes 12 constraints imposed by culture on educational software portability. Nielsen's seven-level virtual protocol model of human-computer interaction is discussed as a framework for considering the constraints, a hypothetical example of adapting software for Mexico is included, and suggestions for overcoming constraints and making software…
