This document is a compilation of abstracts of 28 research papers presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. The major portion of the reports concerned methods of instruction; nine were related to college mathematics, ten on secondary school mathematics, and two at the elementary school mathematics…

Expanded abstracts and critical analyses are given for each of 17 research articles. Six articles are concerned with evaluating methods of instruction, two deal with student achievement in mathematics, one is concerned with classroom interaction and one with class size, four investigate learning and learning hierarchies, and three articles focus…

This is the first issue of a new quarterly series containing expanded abstracts of recent research in mathematics education. (Previous issues were occasional publications of the School Mathematics Study Group.) The twenty abstracts review research articles published in the past two years, and are classified in four sections: (1) Aspects of…

This document is a compilation of abstracts of 20 research papers presented at the 51st Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Six reports concern methods of instruction, eight investigate patterns of learning, three deal with evaluation of attitudes, and three reports cover tests and test construction. (DT)

This issue contains 17 expanded abstracts of recent research in mathematics education. Coverage is extended to papers and articles announced in "Research in Education", as well as journal articles. Each abstract reports the purpose, rationale, design, procedure, findings, and interpretation of the experiment, followed by an evaluation of the…

An expanded abstract and a critical analysis for each of 17 research articles are given. Four of the articles are concerned with evaluating methods of instruction, seven deal with evaluation of achievement and attitudes, two present research in teacher education, and the remaining four articles investigate basic patterns of learning. (Editor/DT)

Abstracts of 28 research reports are provided. The reports were prepared by investigators for presentation at the 54th annual meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. A broad range of topics related to mathematics education are covered. Three reports concern the effects of differing presentations of mathematics, four are related…

An expanded abstract including statements of purpose, rationale, design and procedure, findings, and interpretations is given for 18 selected research articles. Following each, a short critical analysis is presented by a professional in the field. Among the research topics covered are achievement, attitudes, laboratories, error trends, and…

Expanded abstracts and critical analyses are given for each of 13 research articles. Six articles are concerned with evaluating methods of instruction, four deal with evaluation of student achievement and attitudes, one is concerned with test construction, and three articles investigate patterns of learning and learning hierarchies.

This document provides abstracts of 20 research reports. Topics covered include: children's comprehension of simple story problems; field independence and group instruction; problem-solving competence and memory; spatial visualization and the use of manipulative materials; effects of games on mathematical skills; problem-solving ability and right…

Expanded abstracts and critical analyses are given for each of 14 research articles. Studies on instructional strategies or methods are reported in five reviews; three report studies concerned with concept attainment; three review studies in measurement of cognitive abilities; one study is on the effect of a laboratory for college freshman math…

This volume contains abstracts of 33 research papers presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Most papers concerned instructional strategies; fourteen were concerned with sequencing of instruction and/or hierarchical analysis of learning. Four papers dealt with strategies for reviewing and…

Abstracts of 28 research reports are provided. The reports were prepared by investigators for presentation at the 56th annual meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. A broad range of topics related to mathematics education is covered. Ten reports deal with problem solving, four are concerned with instructional methods, three…

The papers in this publication were developed from speeches and reactions presented at the first National Conference on Remedial Mathematics held at Kent State University in 1974. Papers focus on identifying and describing the remedial mathematics student, classroom diagnosis, clinical diagnosis, the diagnostic process, and promising procedures…

Fifteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. The reports abstracted were selected from four educational journals and three psychological journals, and deal with a wide variety of topics. The development of children's understanding of diverse mathematical and logical concepts is discussed in four articles,…
