Flanders, Harley – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
The article considers the problem of how to plot on the computer screen a circle with center (A,B) and radius R. Several different procedures are discussed and compared. (PK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Graphics

Demana, Franklin; Osborne, Alan – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Argues that the type of calculator that is used in mathematics instruction is very important. Suggests that four-function calculators fail to give correct values of mathematical expressions far more often than do scientific calculators. (PK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Computation, Educational Technology
Allen, Brockenbrough S.; Erickson, Debra M. – Journal of Instructional Development, 1986
Describes a model for training instructional designers who will work as members of videodisc development teams. This model develops and integrates competencies relating to instructional design, project management, interpersonal skills, storyboarding and flowcharting, programming, video production, and interactive video system knowledge. Three…

Bodner, George M.; McMillen, Theresa L. B. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1986
Examines the hypothesis that there are preliminary stages in problem solving that are often neglected in teaching chemistry. Discusses correlations calculated between the student's ability to handle disembedding and cognitive restructuring tasks in the spatial domain and ability to solve chemistry problems. (TW)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Chemistry, Cognitive Processes, College Science
Pavelle, Richard; And Others – Scientific American, 1981
Describes the nature and use of computer algebra and its applications to various physical sciences. Includes diagrams illustrating, among others, a computer algebra system and flow chart of operation of the Euclidean algorithm. (SK)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Astronomy, College Mathematics
Hayes, Robert M. – Library Research, 1981
Evaluates the validity of using circulation data as the index to the total utilization of a library collection and tests the hypothesis that the proposed mixture of Poisson distributions can describe and predict various use distribution. Seven statistical analysis listings, six algorithms, 20 tables, and 43 references are provided. (Author/RBF)

Noh, Taehee; Scharmann, Lawrence C. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1997
Describes a study that explores the instructional influence of presenting pictures at the molecular level when introducing chemistry concepts and solving chemistry problems. Explores the effect of the pictures on students' conceptions and problem-solving abilities. Contains 59 references. (DDR)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Analysis of Covariance, Chemistry, Cognitive Structures

Burke, Paul – Journal of College Admissions, 1990
Argues that the vast majority of adults have no use for the specialized mathematics taught in high schools and required by colleges--algebra, geometry, or calculus. Suggests that colleges should accept applicants who have studied percents, formulas, logic, computer commands, and basic statistics. (TE)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Arithmetic, Calculus

Wearne, Diana; Hiebert, James – Arithmetic Teacher, 1994
Compares the development of two students' understanding of addition and subtraction. One student's understanding is based on memorized rules and the other's on understanding the concept of place value. Discusses the effects of different goals for instruction and the importance of understanding place value. (MDH)
Descriptors: Addition, Algorithms, Cognitive Style, Elementary Education

Falmagne, Jean-Claude; And Others – Psychological Review, 1990
This article gives a comprehensive description of a theory for efficient assessment of knowledge. The essential concept is that the knowledge state of a subject, with regard to a specified field of information, can be represented by a particular subset of problems that the subject is capable of solving. (SLD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Educational Assessment, Equations (Mathematics), Evaluation Methods

Song, Xueshu – International Journal of Instructional Media, 1992
Describes the development and validation of a microcomputer software system that enhances undergraduate students' interests in becoming engineering graduate students. The development of a database with information on engineering graduate programs is discussed, and a model that matches individual and institutional needs using Southwell's Relaxation…
Descriptors: Academic Advising, Algorithms, College Programs, Computer Software Development

Kalman, Dan – Mathematics Magazine, 1990
Presented is a scheduling algorithm that uses all the busses at each step for any rectangular array. Included are two lemmas, proofs, a theorem, the solution, and variations on this problem. (KR)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computer Science

Pray, Thomas F.; Gold, Steven – Simulation & Gaming, 1991
Reviews 10 computerized business simulations used to teach business policy courses, discusses problems with measuring performance, and presents a statistically based approach to assessing performance that permits individual team goal setting as part of the computer model, and allows simulated firms to start with different financial and operating…

Frigon, Jean-Yves; Laurencelle, Louis – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1993
The statistical power of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and its advantages over simple analysis of variance are examined in some experimental situations, and an algorithm is proposed for its proper application. In nonrandomized experiments, an ANCOVA is generally not a good approach. (SLD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Analysis of Covariance, Analysis of Variance, Educational Research
Straetmans, Gerard J. J. M.; Eggen, Theo J. H. M. – Educational Technology, 1998
Describes the workings of computerized adaptive testing (CAT). Focuses on the key concept of information and then discusses two important components of a CAT system: the calibrated item bank and the testing algorithm. Describes a CAT that was designed for making placement decisions on the basis of two typical test administrations and notes the…
