Eighty subjects read six passages from a mathematics text that were supplemented by three question types. The results showed that different inserted practice questions result in differences in what is learned. (Author/DEP)

The effectiveness of the learning cell, or student dyad, for the acquisition of principles of probability was explored in Grades 5, 9, and college age. Analysis indicates that student's evaluations of the learning cell was unrelated to achievement. (Author/DEP)

Subskills and strategies necessary to improve reading skills are considered. The hypothesis/testing model, useful at the intermediate reading level, is presented. Two experiments, with retarded and normal children, respectively, indicate hypothesis/test model success. Task analysis on model components is used to generate the seven subskills. (BJG)
