Two assumptions are critically examined: that concrete to abstract learning sequences are effective; and that through computer gaming students can simultaneously achieve varied educational goals. It is seen that the worth of computer gaming cannot be established without careful testing. For journal availability see SO 504 970. (Author/AV)

Described is a project in which microcomputers were used by seven teachers in grades 2-6 in Edmonton, Alberta. The microcomputer was placed in each classroom for one-half day every day for a full school year. Teachers were asked to use it at least 70% of the time for practice in mathematics with individual students, using the Milliken Math…

Secondary teachers in a workshop on overcoming computer and math anxiety and students in a programming course were given measures of anxiety and achievement. Low mathematical ability and coursework were related to math and computer anxiety and negative attitudes. Attitudes improved for the teachers but not the students. (MNS)

Each is defined and the concepts of distance learning and distance…

Provides a core reference library of 100 basic titles (139 books) which have proved useful to instructional developers and client teacher-designers at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The focus is on instructional design and development, but entries on research and on computer applications in instructional contexts are also…

Assesses students' skills and attitudes toward teaching statistics with and without computer-assisted statistical analysis. Classifies students according to gender, grade point average, and mathematics competency. Analyses showed computer-assisted group had significantly more favorable attitudes toward statistics.

Navy and Coast Guard enlisted men were the subjects of a study to determine the effectiveness of various instructional materials and methods in symbol learning. A repeated measures design was used to determine the differential effects of aptitude, type of instructional material, and amount of study time on acquisition of the International Morse…

Studies were made of teaching methods and student teaching experiences that made use of both video taped microteaching and computer assisted interaction analysis. Combining the computer and Flanders' Interaction Analysis can assist student teachers in vocational programs to improve their teaching performance, based upon immediate objective…
