Holzman, Thomas G.; And Others – Memory and Cognition, 1976
Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

Steinberg, Esther R. – 1980
This research is part of a series of studies, in which the long term objective is to use computer-assisted instruction (CAI) to teach students how to solve nonroutine problems, i.e., problems in which the problem solvers must generate their own strategies. The subjects were 93 first and third graders who tried to solve a novel reasoning problem on…

Laudato, Nicholas C.; Roman, Richard A. – 1975
A computer-based curricular package was developed to teach elementary school students to solve arithmetic word problems and to teach problem solving skills applicable to situations not involving word problems. An information processing model for solving word problems was used to sequence the problems. Pilot test results with five students…

Roman, Richard Allan; Laudato, Nicholas C. – 1974
A Word Problem Program was set up to teach elementary school students how to solve arithmetic word problems and to teach some problem solving skills applicable to nonword problems. All instruction is accomplished through a computer program. Goals of the program are described along with three basic instructional decisions and the reasons for them,…

Stone, David E.; And Others – 1983
In order to study the processes people employ in reading technical material and the ways in which information engineering can facilitate those processes, 13 adults, including electrical engineers, stockboys, secretaries, graduate students, and teachers, were asked to perform an assembly task by following concise, step-by-step instructions provided…

Brown, John Seely – Educational Horizons, 1985
Discusses several themes that are basic to thinking about the potential impact of technology on learning. These include learning by doing, enhancing students' abilities to play with ideas, students' mental processes of reasoning and problem solving, and motivating students to learn. (CT)

Swets, John A.; And Others – 1970
Progress is reported on four research tasks. An experiment tested the effectiveness of a computer-based phonology instructional system for second-language learning. In research on models of human-computer interactions, experiments were performed demonstrating that the provision of certain incentives to the users of a time-sharing system can have…

Hickernell, Fred; Proskurowski, Wlodek – Collegiate Microcomputer, 1985
Discusses conception, design, implementation, and evaluation of a calculus course that utilizes a multi-user microcomputer system with graphics terminals. The numerical and utility routines of the software are briefly described, and examples of several types of calculus problems that can be solved utilizing the system are reviewed. (Author/MBR)

Uhlig, George E. – 1984
Dangers are inherent in predicting the future. In discussing the future of computers, specifically, it is useful to consider the brief history of computers from the development of ENIAC to microcomputers. Advances in computer technology can be seen by looking at changes in individual components, including internal and external memory, the…

International Federation for Information Processing, Geneva (Switzerland). Working Group on Secondary School Education. – 1972
Society and education are changing rapidly, and since computers are playing a significant role in these changes it is imperative that secondary school teachers become more fully informed about computers. Computers are of interest to learners because they have led to new theoretical developments, such as automata theory, have many practical…

Lumsdaine, A.A.; And Others – 1970
The work of a three-year series of experimental studies of human cognition is summarized in this report. Proglem solving and learning in man-machine interaction was investigated, as well as relevant variables and processes. The work included four separate projects: (1) computer-aided problem solving, (2) computer-aided instruction techniques, (3)…
