Peer reviewedFay, Gyula; Szucs, Ervin – Education and Computing, 1988
Discussion of problems in computer assisted instruction focuses on poorly written software and the role of computer programing. Use of computers without programing knowledge is discussed, and pragmatics is emphasized as the discipline needed to supplement syntax and semantics in the field of computer science. (seven references) (LRW)

Peer reviewedChoi, Won Sik; Repman, Judi – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1993
Describes a study that was conducted to determine whether learning to program a computer in Pascal or FORTRAN improved problem-solving skills of college students when compared to a control group and to determine which programing language was more effective in the development of problem-solving abilities. (26 references) (LRW)

Peer reviewedTurner, Sandra V.; Land, Michael L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1988
Describes study that investigated the effect of learning Logo on middle school students' understanding of specific mathematical concepts and on their level of cognitive development. Treatments for the experimental and control groups are outlined, hypotheses tested are explained, and pretests and posttests are described. (22 references) (Author/LRW)
