An outline of some programing techniques that might be included in school work for pupils up to 16 years of age is given, and sample programs are provided. (DT)

The purpose was to investigate the effects of computer programming on performance in mathematics. The LOGO programming language was taught to 18 fifth graders. A pretest-posttest design was employed to determine whether the mathematical concept of variable could be learned through computer programming; a non-computer group of 20 fifth graders was…

Discusses the use of a set of computer programs (FORTRAN IV) in an introductory mechanics course for science majors. One laboratory activity is described for determining the coefficient of restitution of a glider on an air track. A student evaluation for the lab is included in the appendix. (Author/TS)

This booklet was designed for the use of junior high school or high school students. Detailed, step-by-step instructions are given for using the computer, for writing programs in BASIC, and for using the various commands in the BASIC language. A list of 75 computer programing ideas in varying degrees of difficulty is presented in the index. (MP)

An elementary computer programing language designed to help the student resolve very basic and specific conceptual difficulties is described. The introduction and implementation of this language in an actual didactic situation is included. (Author/MK)

The introduction to this selective bibliography on the use of computers in teaching statistics provides a brief review of the role of the computer in statistics; the role of statistical packages; how statistical packages should be used in instruction; science, statistics, and data analysis; and choice and evaluation of statistical packages. Items…

This teacher's guide is for a course designed to teach business students the fundamentals of the BASIC language and computer programming using a series of business-oriented programs. Each lesson contains an introduction, flow charts, and computer programs. The six lesson topics are print-out and format control, count-average, withholding tax…

An experimental program for secondary school science students, Computer Supplemented Instruction in Science (CSI Science), was proposed to provide terminal time for all students, provide problem-solving and simulation experience, and identify those students who would most benefit from a computer-based science course. Results indicated students…

A brief history of computers, a description of uses, and a disucssion of various types available are all given. Specific examples where the computer may be used to help teach mathematics are presented with some sample programs explained. A selected annotated bibliography is included. (LS)

Included are abstracts of selected papers presented at the National Educational Computing Conference held in Baltimore in June 1983. The nine reports discuss varies computer uses at several levels, and includes a study of children's learning processes and software descriptions. (MNS)

Laboratory activities give students an opportunity to interact with computers in modes ranging from remote terminal use in laboratory experimentation to the direct hands-on use of a small digital computer with disk memory and on-line plotter, and finally to the use of a large computer under closed-shop operation.
