Wong, Wing-Kwong; Hsu, Sheng-Cheng; Wu, Shih-Hung; Lee, Cheng-Wei; Hsu, Wen-Lian – Computers and Education, 2007
Computer-assisted instruction systems have been broadly applied to help students solve math word problem. The majority of such systems, which are based on an instructor-initiating instruction strategy, provide pre-designed problems for the learners. When learners are asked to solve a word problem, the system will instruct the learners what to do.…

Chang, Kuo-En; Sung, Yao-Ting; Lin, Shiu-Feng – Computers and Education, 2006
Previous computer-assisted problem-solving systems have incorporated all the problem-solving steps within a single stage, making it difficult to diagnose stages at which errors occurred when a student encounters difficulties, and imposing a too-high cognitive load on students in their problem solving. This study proposes a computer-assisted system…

Norris, A. C. – Computers and Education, 1979
Discusses the design of computational exercises useful for a course in numerical methods for chemists. Some of the exercises make use of available programs while others require the student to write programs incorporating numerical routines. The emphasis throughout is on the use of numerical methods to solve chemical problems. (Author)

Boyd, G. M.; And Others – Computers and Education, 1984
Describes two studies which examined crucial factors in learner support for computer-assisted learning. Douglas investigated the effectiveness of a computerized learner support system with a group of college students, while Lebel used 15- to 17-year-old mathematics students to study the sociostructure (who works with whom and under what social…
