Kochen, Manfred; Badre, Albert N. – 1973
Comprehension of a problem or task that is generated in the real world rather than presented as a well-defined problem-statement of the kind encountered in textbooks or psychological laboratories was related to the ability of recognizing, selecting and formulating problems. The process of acquiring and utilizing this ability was conceptualized…

Maxim, D.; And Others – 1973
The report, one of a series resulting from a project to design planning procedures for local and State vocational agencies, describes LIONS (Labor and Industry Occupational Needs System), a computer system designed to provide forecasts of the demand for various occupational skills by area for the State of New Jersey. The methodology may have…

Windsor Public Schools, CT. – 1969
This series of four text-workbooks was designed for tenth grade mathematics students who have exhibited lack of problem-solving skills. Electric desk calculators are to be used with the text. In the first five chapters of the series, students learn how to use the machine while reviewing basic operations with whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and…

Judd, Wilson A.
A study was conducted to investigate learner control of instruction in contrast to response sensitive branching algorithms with respect to two specific types of instructional decisions: (1) whether a student should enter and study a particular instructional module given his score on an associated diagnostic pretest; and (2) when a student should…

MacKay, Irene Douglas – 1975
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between a student's confidence in his computational procedures for each of the four basic arithmetic operations and the student's achievement on computation problems. All of the students in grades 5 through 8 in one school system (a total of 6186 students) were given a questionnaire to…

Robitaille, David F. – 1976
Boys' and girls' achievement in arithmetic computation was compared with their feelings of self-confidence in performing computations. A total of 2654 girls and 2786 boys from grades 5 through 8 in one school system participated. Each student was given a test to assess the degree of self-confidence in methods of performing the four basic…

Feghali, Issa – 1976
A previous study had confirmed that a substantial number of low achievers in grades 5 through 8 had high algorithmic confidence in each of the four arithmetic operations with whole numbers. The purpose of the present study was to follow up the results through interviewing low achievement-high confidence students in order to ascertain if they…

Carpenter, Thomas P.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
Various algorithms used in addition, subtraction, and division problems were identified. The percentages of people in the National Assessment survey populations using each method are reported, as are the percentages of those using the most popular methods who answered correctly. Implications for instruction are discussed. (SD) Aspect of National…

Groen, Guy; Resnick., Lauren B. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
Ten nursery school children who knew how to count but were unacquainted with arithmetic were taught a simple algorithm for solving single-digit addition problems and were then given extended practice. The reaction time on the final block of extended practice suggested that subjects had invented a more efficient procedure to replace the original…

Lineberry, Claude S., Jr. – Improving Human Performance Quarterly, 1977
To decide between job aids and instruction, it is essential to analyze desired mastery performance: its inputs, outputs, criteria, and underlying skills and knowledge. A decision table is included. (Author/STS)

MacDonald, T. H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1977
The author develops a four-stage model for concept-internalization. The stages are: (1) concrete structure; (2) linguistic structure; (3) algorithm; and (4) mastery. The model is related to teaching methods and the teaching of long division is examined in detail. (SD)

Madell, Rob – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
The author argues that children not only can but should create their own computational algorithms and that the teacher's role is "merely" to help. How children in grades K-3 add and subtract is the focus of this article. Grouping, directionality, and exchange are highlighted. (MNS)

Ferguson, David L.; Henderson, Peter B. – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1987
Designed initially for use in college computer science courses, the model and computer-aided instructional environment (CAIE) described helps students develop algorithmic problem solving skills. Cognitive skills required are discussed, and implications for developing computer-based design environments in other disciplines are suggested by…
