Quillen, Ian – Education Week, 2011
It's been a rough time for the image of K-12 virtual education. Studies in Colorado and Minnesota have suggested that full-time online students are struggling to match the achievement levels of their peers in brick-and-mortar schools. Articles in "The New York Times" questioned not only the academic results for students in virtual schools, but…

Miller, Larry; Olson, John – Educational Leadership, 1995
A decade of Canadian research shows that teachers' prior practices influence how technology will be used. There may be trade-offs (in valuable activities) when using new technologies. Teachers often ascribe disproportionate power to computers, allow kids to work on programs with little supervision, and overlook "mouse wars" between…

Snyder, Tom – Executive Educator, 1994
Huge infusion of technology is coming into education; nothing can stop it, because so much money is involved. With computer marketers in driver seat instead of teachers, schools risk being blinded by science. Vendors have coopted progressive education buzzwords, including "frontal teaching,""linear thinking," and "computer…

DeCoker, Gary – Educational Leadership, 2000
Realizing he had learned persistence and proficiency for solving software glitches in nontechnical settings, a computer-literate teacher argues that technology should not be elevated at curriculum's expense. Technology is only a means toward achieving educational objectives set for students. (MLH)

Morton, Chris – Phi Delta Kappan, 1996
Calling computers tools or "add-ons" overlooks their expanding capabilities and interactive possibilities. School computer systems should be viewed as structured learning environments with complex, comprehensive capabilities to access and manipulate information. Computer environments can support changes in educational structures,…

Garrett, Alan W. – Journal of Curriculum and Supervision, 1997
Clifford Stoll's skeptical look at the computer mania besetting education raises issues about computerization and networking costs, the relationship between accessing information and becoming educated, and the role of human interaction in learning. By placing the computer before the curriculum, are proponents providing the best education possible…

Almstrum, Vicki L. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1999
Describes a simple 16-item instrument, the Propositional Logic Test (PLT), that is based on Piagetian theory and a study that explored the use of the PLT in diagnosing student misunderstandings. Analysis of individual student responses revealed a number of systematic errors in interpreting the logical operations in the PLT items. (Contains 23…

Guershon, Harel, Ed.; Dubinsky, Ed, Ed. – 1992
The concept of function is the single most important mathematical concept studied from kindergarten to graduate school and is critical throughout the full range of education. Thus, the goals of this book are to contribute to research in learning the concept of function and to provide a resource for mathematics teachers that could help them in…

Agalionos, Angelos; Cope, Peter – Journal of Education Policy, 1994
A content analysis of 21 elementary and secondary software programs reveals the nonneutrality of educational software. The software is heavily biased and exposes pupils to dominant explanations, values, beliefs, assumptions, and ideologies that are projected as objective and legitimate. Content-specific software is deeply enmeshed in cultural…

Zelchenko, Peter – Educational Leadership, 1999
Many South Chicago schools are successfully using older technologies, including photomechanical language-lab consoles, revamped and networked PCs, and "ancient" software packages rivaling today's expensive, repackaged products. Re-use is cost-effective. Schools should differentiate among computers' capabilities. Despite big industry's…

Bowers, C. A. – International Journal of Leadership in Education, 1998
Computers represent the digital phase of the Industrial Revolution, contribute to centralizing corporate and political power, worsen the growing environmental crisis, and displace local knowledge with data. By framing discussions of computers in terms of these worldwide trends, readers can avoid the simplistic thinking surrounding discussions of…

Eiser, Leslie – Classroom Computer Learning, 1990
The use of programs on the topic of dinosaurs in interdisciplinary exercises which may include mathematics, science, history, and language arts is described. Reviews of 16 different computer programs are included. Possible misconceptions and how they are dealt with in various programs are discussed. (CW)

Snir, Joseph; And Others – 1988
Many feel that an advantage to using computer simulations in science teaching is that they give students the opportunity to witness or perform experiments which might otherwise be too expensive, time consuming, or dangerous for them to do. Simulations attempt to mimic the kind of experience students get in a laboratory and help students learn new…

Novak, Joseph D., Ed. – 1987
This document is the first of three volumes of the proceedings of an international seminar which focused on student misconceptions in science and mathematics as well as teaching strategies intended to deal with those misconceptions. An introduction to the volume explains the format of the conference and the organization of the sessions. It…
