Koffman, Elliot B. – 1972
Frame-oriented computer-assisted instruction (CAI) systems dominate the field, but these mechanized programed texts utilize the computational power of the computer to a minimal degree and are difficult to modify. Newer, generative CAI systems which are supplied with a knowledge of subject matter can generate their own problems and solutions, can…

Jensema, Carl – 1971
Under some circumstances, it is desirable to compare the factor patterns obtained from different factor analyses. To date, the best method of simultaneously achieving simple structure and maximum similarity is the technique devised by Bloxom (1968). This technique simultaneously rotates different factor patterns to maximum similarity and varimax…

Wyks, Hollis W.; Austin, Robert J. – 1971
This is the first workbook-text in a two-part series written for deaf students. It is remedial in nature, aimed at the secondary level, and covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers. The use of the number 10 in explaining the concepts presented is stressed throughout. For the second workbook, see SE 015 828, and…

Gonzalez, Richard F.; McMillan, Claude, Jr. – 1971
Designed for undergraduate social science students, this textbook concentrates on using the computer in a straightforward way to manipulate numbers and variables in order to solve problems. The text is problem oriented and assumes that the student has had little prior experience with either a computer or programing languages. An introduction to…

Feurzeig, Wallace; And Others – 1971
LOGO is a programming language developed at Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Inc., specifically for use in teaching. It provides the student with a set of numerical and symbolic primitives as elements for gradually building extended, complex program structures. The building of these structures is facilitated by a procedure-oriented programming heuristic…

Elliott, Portia C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
The author proposes that computer programs which are designed to make algorithmic structures accessible and comprehensible be employed as advance organizers in mathematics instruction. These programs would bring clarity and structural integration to mathematical, instructional, and cognitive structures important to the mastery of mathematical…
