Abramovich, Sergei; Brouwer, Peter – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2009
This paper was prepared in response to the Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences recommendations for the preparation of secondary teachers. It shows how using trigonometry as a conceptual tool in spreadsheet-based applications enables one to develop mathematical understanding in the context of constructing geometric representations of unit…

Nakhkeh, Mary B. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1994
This review focuses on studies that have investigated how microcomputer-based laboratories (MBL) affect science learning. MBL is defined as software which uses an electronic probe to collect information about a physical system and convert that information to a graphical system in approximately real time. (28 references) (LZ)

Sadowski, Barbara R. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1985
Summarizes a study which focused on teaching critical thinking skills with computer assisted instruction. Also summarizes a 1980 study in which a microcomputer was used to deliver a version of the program BABELS to college students and a replication of this study with younger students (5th-, 7th-, and 12th-graders).

Christmann, Edwin; Badgett, John – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1999
Compares science students who were exposed to traditional methodology with those who received traditional methodology supplemented with computer-assisted instruction (CAI). Indicates that on the average, students receiving traditional instruction supplemented with CAI attained higher academic achievement than did 60.4% of those receiving only…

Wisnudel, Michele – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1994
This article discusses the definition of hypermedia and the rationale behind its use, gives examples of students using hypermedia tools to construct artifacts, critiques research that examines the influence of creating hypermedia artifacts on students' learning, and outlines needed research on the effectiveness of using hypermedia. (27 references)…

Murfin, Brian – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1994
This paper presents the theoretical background for using computer-mediated communication to link children and scientists in a multiple electronic zone of proximal development. It is postulated that students will be able to perform at higher cognitive levels as a result of this increased interment contact with many adults. (LZ)

Tamir, Pinchas – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Discusses uses of microcomputers as: a tutor (drill and practice, course review, and others); a tool (drawing, statistical analyses, word processing, and others); and a tutee. Also addresses major problems and issues in science education, noting how microcomputers may help in resolving the problems. Problems and issues include teaching science in…

Goles, Gordon G. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1982
Microcomputer simulation games are discussed and are viewed as being of the same nature as traditional imitation and role-playing activities. Some aspects of six commercially available games that could be used in computer assisted instruction (CAI) are reviewed. All examples chosen were among those thought to emphasize positive attitudes.
