This project was designed to prepare curriculum materials that can be used to teach general computer literacy and rudimentary programming for grades 7 and 8. The intended audience for these materials is the grade 7 and 8 teacher who is not experienced in computer literacy or programming. Materials provided include, in separate sections for the two…

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)

A technique for studying how parents think, make decisions, and solve childrearing problems, Computer-Presented Social Interactions (CPSI), is described. Two studies involving CPSI are presented. The first study concerns a common parental cognitive task: causal analysis of an undesired behavior. The task was to diagnose the cause of non-contingent…
