Peer reviewedWang, Z. W.; Willoughby, T. L. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
This paper describes a method of understanding student problem-solving behavior during computer-assisted instruction using trigonometry as the example domain. Instead of attempting to model the student's process for solving problems, techniques which infer the equivalence between two adjacent steps in the student's process are used to determine…

Peer reviewedBarba, Robertta H.; Merchant, Linda J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Discussed is whether embedding generative cognitive strategies in microcomputer courseware improves student performance on cognitive assessment measures and on insect classification tasks. The effects of transactional software on students' knowledge of insect anatomy and principles of insect classification were also investigated. (KR)
