Kidron, Ivy – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2018
In this paper I analyze students' conceptual understanding of the quality of polynomial approximation. In particular, I analyze to what extent the interactive play with various methods of interpolation enables the students to build visual pictures that help understanding the formal mathematical statements. The role of the Mathematica software in…

Leytham, Patrick Allen – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Students diagnosed with autism demonstrate a deficit in communication skills, which affects their literacy skills. Federal legislation mandates that students with disabilities receive a free appropriate public education, be taught how to read, and have access to the general education curriculum. Students with autism are being included more in the…

Furberg, A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2009
This paper reports on a qualitative study of students' engagement with a Web-based inquiry environment aimed at prompting student reflection in processes of scientific inquiry. In order to demonstrate how prompts become structuring resources for students' scientific inquiry, detailed analyses of students' interaction processes are conducted. The…

Wollak, Barbara A.; Koppenhaver, David A. – Assistive Technology Outcomes and Benefits, 2011
Writing is a recursive and complex set of cognitive processes that can be taught effectively to students with disabilities. Employing an adapted cognitive theory of writing, a broad view of what constitutes evidence, and the support of a variety of assistive and internet-based technologies, we developed a writing instructional program to meet the…

Preszler, Ralph W.; Dawe, Angus; Shuster, Charles B.; Shuster, Michele – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2007
With the advent of wireless technology, new tools are available that are intended to enhance students' learning and attitudes. To assess the effectiveness of wireless student response systems in the biology curriculum at New Mexico State University, a combined study of student attitudes and performance was undertaken. A survey of students in six…

Tudor, Roger M.; Bostow, Darrel E. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1991
This study evaluated the importance of active student responding while using the microcomputer to deliver the contingencies of programed instruction. Results from 75 undergraduates found that students who covertly responded to frame blanks or were required to type frame answers performed better on a posttest than students who passively read…

Jerome, Annamaria; Barbetta, Patricia M. – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2005
An alternating treatments design with a best treatments phase was used to compare two active student response (ASR) conditions and one on-task (OT) condition on the acquisition and maintenance of social studies facts during computer-assisted instruction. Each week for six weeks, five students were provided daily computer-assisted instruction on 21…

Wise, Richard L. – 1987
This study focuses on student response to computer-assisted instruction (CAI) after it was introduced into a college level physical geography course, "Introduction to Weather and Climate." PLATO, a University of Illinois mainframe network developed in the 1960s, was selected for its user friendliness, its large supply of courseware, its…

Davidson, Robert L.; Traylor, Karen – Illinois Schools Journal, 1987
This article reviews five modes of computer-assisted software so that teachers will be more aware of them and use computers more in their classrooms. The five modes are the following: (1) drill and practice; (2) tutorial; (3) simulation; (4) demonstration; and (5) instructional games. Teachers should review softwares and choose those that meet…

Carel, Sheila – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1999
Findings from a study investigating students' reactions to a hypermedia program used to analyze real-life interactions indicated that pragmatic awareness can be developed in virtual culture contact situations. Similar interactive software in combination with ethnographic activities may be more effective in culture teaching and learning.…

Brown, Scott W.; Chen, Ching Hui – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1994
Examines the effectiveness of various types of feedback in interactive video instruction. Participants were 43 undergraduate students. Results showed no significant difference among the three groups of (1) video only, (2) feedback, and (3) elaborate feedback. Summary, multiple-choice test, and sample question/response are appended.

Noonen, Ann; Dwyer, Francis M. – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1994
Examines the effectiveness of visual illustrations in computer-based education, the effect of order of visual presentation, and whether screen design affects students' use of graphics and text. Results indicate that order of presentation and choice of review did not influence student achievement; however, when given a choice, students selected the…

Lai, Shu-Ling – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2001
Investigates whether students perform best after using computer-based learning (CBL) courseware with three types of animation-control strategies: program control, linear control, and learner control. Results suggest that accommodating learners' individual differences in the design of computer-based learning lessons is an important concern. (AEF)

Li, Sha – Quarterly Review of Distance Education, 2003
Examines the hidden issues caused by the format-shifting effect in distance education. Findings of a study of undergraduate students indicated that learning format shifting is a period of dilemma that occurs during the early period for learners during their first distance class. Overlooking the issue would result in problems that could affect…
