The Effects of Microcomputers on the Secondary Special Education Classroom Ecology.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rieth, Herbert; And Others – Journal of Special Education Technology, 1987
This study compared 52 resource room programs for mildly mentally handicapped, learning disabled, and severely emotionally disturbed secondary students, which used or did not use microcomputers. Benefits of microcomputer use included increased active task engagement and increased individually focused instruction, but overall differences in most…

A Comparison of Answer until Correct Feedback and Knowledge of Correct Response Feedback under Two Conditions of Contextualization.
Clariana, Roy B. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1990
Discussion of various types of feedback used in computer-assisted instruction focuses on a study of low-ability eleventh graders that compared the effectiveness of answer until correct (AUC) feedback with knowledge of correct response (KCR) feedback. Achievement data on posttests as well as time data are analyzed. (11 references) (LRW)

An Experiment in the Use of Computer Algebra in the Classroom.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thomas, P. G.; Rickhuss, M. G. – Education and Computing, 1992
This study examined the effectiveness of a computer algebra system in teaching secondary school mathematics. Pre- and posttest results and time on task were compared for students receiving conventional instruction and those receiving computer-assisted instruction using an enhanced version of muMath, a standard computer algebra package. (four…
