Salton, G.; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Evaluates and compares two recently proposed automatic methods for relevance feedback of Boolean queries (Dillon method, which uses probabilistic approach as basis, and disjunctive normal form method). Conclusions are drawn concerning the use of effective feedback methods in a Boolean query environment. Nineteen references are included. (EJS)

Northwest Regional Educational Lab., Portland, OR. – 1998
The sixth session of IT@EDU98 consisted of seven papers on the topic of the learning machine--Vietnamese based human-computer interface, and was chaired by Phan Viet Hoang (Informatics College, Singapore). "Knowledge Based Approach for English Vietnamese Machine Translation" (Hoang Kiem, Dinh Dien) presents the knowledge base approach,…

Haussler, Peter – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1978
Structural learning theory and the Rasch model measured learning gain, retention, and transfer in 1,037 students, grades 7-10. Students learned nine functional relationships with either spontaneous or synthetic algorithms. The Rasch model gave the better description of the data. The hypothesis that the synthetic method was superior was refuted.…

Kann, Charles; Lindeman, Robert W.; Heller, Rachelle – Computers & Education, 1997
In the past, algorithm animation has yielded mixed results as a teaching tool in computer science. This article presents a study in which undergraduates at George Washington University (DC) viewed algorithm animations and then programmed the same algorithms. Results suggest that combing the two is an effective way to use animation and to produce…

Carroll, William M.; Porter, Denise – Teaching Children Mathematics, 1997
Describes teaching strategies in which children are encouraged to develop computational procedures that are meaningful to them. Authors state that classroom observation reveals most primary students to be capable of developing their own accurate solution procedures for multi-digit addition and subtraction as well as for simple multiplication and…

Otte, Michael – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1990
Compared and contrasted are the concepts intuition and logic. The ideas of conceptual thought and algorithmic thought are discussed in terms of the world as a labyrinth, intuition and time, and the structure of knowledge. (KR)
Descriptors: Abstract Reasoning, Algorithms, Cognitive Ability, Cognitive Processes

Hurwitz, Marsha – Mathematics Teacher, 1990
Described is a learning activity that requires students to write a manual to explain how to apply procedures and algorithms used in mathematics. A list of possible precalculus and calculus topics that can be used in this activity is included. (KR)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculus, Cognitive Development, Learning Activities

Friedel, Arthur W.; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1990
Discussed is the effectiveness of using analogies in chemistry instruction. Students' mathematics anxiety, spatial visualization skill, and proportional reasoning ability were found to be important aptitudes for determining chemistry achievement. The relationship between analogs and algorithms is described. (KR)
Descriptors: Academic Achievement, Algorithms, Chemistry, Cognitive Development

Woods, Donald R. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 1990
Described are ideas for the development of problem solving in the context of chemistry. Strategies for improving students' problem solving abilities are included. (KR)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Chemistry, College Science, Critical Thinking

Banks, Bernard W. – College Mathematics Journal, 1990
Presents an example using a computer to illustrate concepts graphically in an introductory course on differential equations. Discusses the algorithms of the computer program displaying the solutions to an equation and the inclination field of the equation. (YP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Graphics

Scanlan, David; Clark, Leisa – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Studies whether students' stated preferences for flowcharts or pseudocodes match their actual behaviors. Provides a review of the literature on flowchart utility. Reports that students preferred flowcharts to pseudocodes. Lists an example of both a flowchart and pseudocode. (MVL)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Charts, College Mathematics, Computer Science Education

Aslan, Farhad; Duck, Howard – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
P-adic or g-adic sets are sets of elements formed by linear combinations of powers of p, a prime number, or g, a counting number, where the coefficients are whole numbers less than p or g. Discusses exercises illustrating basic numerical operations for p-adic and g-adic sets. Provides BASIC computer programs to verify the solutions. (MDH)
Descriptors: Addition, Algebra, Algorithms, College Mathematics

De Jong, Marvin L. – Physics Teacher, 1992
Studies the simple dynamical system of the pendulum and the chaotic behavior that occurs when the pendulum is both damped and driven. Provides an algorithm and BASIC program for the numerical solution to the differential equations encountered in the discussion. (MDH)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Chaos Theory, Computer Assisted Instruction, Differential Equations

Khonsari, Michael M.; Horn, Douglas – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 1990
An algorithm is described for generating smooth curves of first-order continuity. The algorithm is composed of several cubic Bezier curves joined together at the user defined control points. Introduced is a tension control parameter which can be set thus providing additional flexibility in the design of free-form curves. (KR)

Mills, Carol J.; And Others – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1993
Among 1,453 male and 1,133 female academically talented 7- to 11-year-old students, boys performed better overall than girls on mathematical reasoning. Gender differences appeared as early as second grade, varying according to mathematics subskills. Male performance was better on tasks requiring application of algebraic rules and understanding of…
