Algebraic versus Programming Approach to Solving Mathematical Modeling Problems.

Peer reviewed

Adner, Haya – School Science and Mathematics, 1990

Investigated the effect of the choice of a model's medium (algebraic expression or computer program) on the performance of students. Student programers did not transfer the qualities of a computer program approach to their algebraic models. Provides items for five tests. (YP)
