Student teachers in a teacher center program and in a standard program constructed useful learning materials; a significantly greater number of the former group voluntarily supplied their cooperating teachers with copies of these materials. There was greater benefit to supervising teachers who received learning materials from the teacher center…

Presents a student module modeling knowledge states and learning skills of students in the field of Newtonian dynamics. Uses data recorded during the exploratory activity in microworlds to infer mental representations concerning the concept of force. A fuzzy algorithm able to follow the cognitive states the student goes through in solving a task…

Addresses the effects of a modularly assessed course on teaching style. Reviews the types of learning activities and the frequency of their use by using the data gathered as part of the A-Level Information System. Concludes that most modular courses were found to be taught in more didactic fashion than linearly assessed courses. (Author/ASK)
