Andor, Csaba; And Others – Evaluation in Education: An International Review Series, 1985
The Galois-lattice is a graphic method for representing all possible developmental phases to reach a given total knowledge via different partial knowledge structures. Algorithms are proposed for incorporating statistical analysis into the Galois-lattice method. A comparison to the Rasch model and application for educational research are given. (BS)

Mandeville, Garrett K. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1991
Describes a computer algorithm used in South Carolina public schools that links year-to-year student test records. The process of matching data files is explained, computer matches are compared with matches based on numeric student identification numbers to determine accuracy, and other applications in support of educational research are…

Laing, Robert A.; Meyer, Ruth Ann – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
A survey of general mathematics students whose teachers were taking an inservice workshop revealed that they had not yet mastered division. More direct introduction of the standard division algorithm is favored in elementary grades, with instruction of transitional processes curtailed. Weaknesses in transitional algorithms appear to outweigh…

Woodward, John – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1995
Presents a historical review of technology-based computer program development and research in mathematics for special education. Discusses two themes: the consistent focus on mastering computational algorithms and the use of technology both as a teaching tool and as a means of guiding teacher behavior. Contains 81 references.

Davis, Robert B. – 1983
The ideas and techniques involved in learning about fractions were investigated with students in grades 1-12, in the first 3 years of colleges, in community college mathematics courses, and in graduate school. Also included were some high school mathematics teachers, some mathematicians, and some retired persons. Part I provides the rationale and…

Baker, Sheldon R.; And Others – 1995
A paradigm for the recalibration of teacher-made assessment that assesses and evaluates in one operation is formulated. The effort to make the classroom the primary source of educational research activity is contingent on redefining educational research as empirical and not experimental. This emphasizes that the empirical analysis of instructional…
