Senate Bill 22-192, titled Opportunities for Credential Attainment called on the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) to work collaboratively with other state agencies, institutions of higher education (IHEs), employers and other stakeholders to build 10 stackable credential pathways across five high-value, high-demand industries between…

"Proceedings of International Conference on Research in Education and Science" includes full papers presented at the International Conference on Research in Education and Science (ICRES) which took place on March 24-27, 2022 in Antalya, Turkey. The aim of the conference is to offer opportunities to share ideas, to discuss theoretical and…

Discusses artificial intelligence, its definitions, and potential applications. Provides listings of Logo and BASIC versions for programs along with REM statements needed to make modifications for use with Apple computers. (RT)

Designed for use by computer programming teachers, this booklet presents the concepts of structured programming and provides examples of how to implement this methodology, which provides a systematic way of organizing programs so that even large and complex programs are easier to understand and modify than unstructured programs. After a brief…

In order to determine the knowledge and skills needed by novice programmers to successfully learn computer programming, four studies were conducted using a clinical interview technique. The first study determined that many systematic errors in programming were due to programmers' high-level misconceptions of the nature of the computer and of the…

A study to identify instructional methodologies that business educators (n=167) use to teach microcomputer software skills found that demonstrations, simulations, and self-paced learning are most effective; most acquire skills through self-instruction; educators are likely to teach the way they learned; and there is a need for training in…

Presents a problem to produce a chart in which a driver can look up the time in seconds it took to travel one mile and find out how fast the car was traveling in miles per hour. Several programs to solve the problem are listed and discussed. (JN)

Suggests having students design a football field (looking at it from above) as the final project of a unit on computer graphics. Includes listings for 13 short Applesoft programs (involving LO- and HI-RES graphics) which students can use in making the field. Advanced students can use the animation techniques. (JN)

Discussion of problems in computer assisted instruction focuses on poorly written software and the role of computer programing. Use of computers without programing knowledge is discussed, and pragmatics is emphasized as the discipline needed to supplement syntax and semantics in the field of computer science. (seven references) (LRW)

Provides activities (and program listings) related to a Mendelian genetics experiment, Tetranacci numbers, and Pascal loops. Also suggests using the computer and spreadsheets to plan the production of a school yearbook. (JN)

Students believe that they are computer literate. When asked, students perceive themselves as skilled in a variety of computer applications. This research compares students' perceptions with their reality. Students did not perform well on pretests of Microsoft Office, but improved their posttests scores with instruction. The study also examined…

To investigate what children learn during computer programming instruction, students attending a summer computer camp were asked to recall either single lines or chunks of computer programs from either coherent or scrambled programs. The 16 subjects, ages 12 to 17, were divided into three instructional groups: (1) beginners, who were taught to…

Intended to assist school districts in designing high school credit courses, preparing staff development activities related to computer utilization, and selecting and evaluating instructional software, this document offers outlines for the following student courses: (1) Introduction to Computers, a computer literacy course covering computer…

The five papers in this symposium contribute to a dialog on the aims and methods of computer education, and indicate directions future research must take if necessary information is to be available to make informed decisions about the use of computers in schools. The first two papers address the question of what is required for a student to become…

Examines the new emphasis on introducing computers into secondary schools in the Soviet Union and describes the development of a computer literacy course, including descriptions of course materials and teacher training. Technical and socioeconomic problems hindering the program's success, especially regarding computer hardware and software, are…
