Zuckerman, June T. – 1992
Various researchers have associated meaningful problem solving with methods guided directly by a conceptual knowledge base. By contast, a meaningless solving course, or sequence of operations, is essentially independent of the solver's conceptual understanding of the problem under consideration. This paper is the first to document a meaningless,…

Muller, Mervin E. – 1968
A review of statistical data analysis involving computers as a multi-dimensional problem provides the perspective for consideration of the use of computers in statistical analysis and the problems associated with large data files. An overall description of STATJOB, a particular system for doing statistical data analysis on a digital computer,…

White, William W., Ed. – 1978
The proceedings of this conference, which examined the relationship between mathematical programming and the computer, contains the texts of most of the 50 papers presented and a summary of one discussion panel addressing such facets of this theme as the design for, use of, implementation of, and implications for mathematical programming software…

Molenaar, Ivo W. – 1978
The technical problems involved in obtaining Bayesian model estimates for the regression parameters in m similar groups are studied. The available computer programs, BPREP (BASIC), and BAYREG, both written in FORTRAN, require an amount of computer processing that does not encourage regular use. These programs are analyzed so that the performance…

Spero, Samuel W. – 1977
The instructional strategy described was used to incorporate both the computer and the hand calculator into trigonometry courses at an Ohio community college. The computer was used to generate different problem sets for individual students and, at the same time, solution sets for the instructor. The students were required to use calculators to…

Roid, Gale; Finn, Patrick – 1978
The feasibility of generating multiple-choice test questions by transforming sentences from prose instructional materials was examined. A computer-based algorithm was used to analyze prose subject matter and to identify high-information words. Sentences containing selected words were then transformed into multiple-choice items by four writers who…

Braby, Richard; And Others – 1975
The Training Effectiveness, Cost Effectiveness Technique for choosing instructional delivery systems for proposed training programs during conceptual design phase is outlined, in three steps. Training objectives are classified and organized into groups, appropriate learning strategies are identified, and the costs of alternative forms of training…

Exner, Robert; And Others – 1973
The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…

Koether, Mary E.; Coke, Esther U. – 1973
Using string-manipulation algorithms, FORTRAN computer programs were designed for analysis of written material. The programs measure length of a text and its complexity in terms of the average length of words and sentences, map the occurrences of keywords or phrases, calculate word frequency distribution and certain indicators of style. Trials of…

Glaser, Robert – 1972
A project was undertaken to carry out experimental and methodological investigations on learning phenomena and psychometric methods relevant to instructional technology and computer-assisted instruction. The project's accomplishments are presented in this report, along with a listing of reports and products produced. The work of the project is…

Hummel, Thomas J. – 1976
"Algorithmic counseling" is an attempt to apply recent instructional regulation techniques to graduate counselor training and research. This paper seeks to explain what algorithms are, why they could be useful, and how they can be constructed. A central motivation for studying algorithms is their utility in showing students how to accomplish a…

Hoggard, Franklin R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Suggests a method for solving verbal problems in chemistry using a linguistic algorithm that is partly adapted from two artificial intelligence languages. Provides examples of problems solved using the mental concepts of translation, rotation, mirror image symmetry, superpositioning, disjoininng, and conjoining. (TW)

Pribyl, Jeffrey R.; Bodner, George M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1987
Reports on a study which examined the relationship between spatial ability and performance in organic chemistry. Results indicated that students with high spatial scores did significantly better on questions requiring problem solving skills, as well as on those requiring the mental manipulation of two-dimensional representations of a molecule.
