POPHAM, W. JAMES – 1962
THE EXPERIMENT PROPOSED IN THIS STUDY WAS TO SUPPLY EVIDENCE RELEVANT TO THE QUESTION OF HOW MUCH INFLUENCE, IF ANY, A POSTULATED NOVELTY EFFECT WOULD HAVE UPON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LEARNING IN A SELF-INSTRUCTIONAL SITUATION. THE HYPOTHESIS WAS--THERE WILL BE NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN ACHIEVEMENT OF TWO COMPARABLE GROUPS OF ELEMENTARY PUPILS…

Saupe, Joe L. – 1979
An analysis is presented of the basic instructional productivity formula, PR = TL x CS, where PR is the index of productivity, TL is the index reflecting teaching load, and CS is the class-size index. Objectives of the analysis are to: extend the basic instructional productivity formula to include recognition of different types of instruction;…

FRINCKE, GERALD L.; STOLUROW, LAWRENCE M. – 1964
WORKSHEETS FROM AN AUTO-INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM IN HIGH SCHOOL ALGEBRA WERE USED TO COMPARE DATA PROCESSING METHODS. IN THE SCRIBE SYSTEM, WORKSHEET DATA IS TRANSFERRED FIRST ONTO SPECIAL SHEETS REQUIRING RECORDING OF ERRORS AND OMISSIONS ONLY, AND THEN ONTO IBM CARDS. THE IBM CARDS CAN BE USED IN A SPECIAL IBM 1620 ITEM DIFFICULTY ANALYSIS PROGRAM.…

Malin, Jane T. – 1976
Effects of strategy instructions on the problem-solving performance of junior high school algebra students was investigated in two experiments. In the first experiment, three groups of students were instructed to solve algebra problems using a backward, forward, or mixed directon of search. The pattern of solution times and errors indicated that…

Godfrey, Leon D. – 1974
In this report, the theoretical background and procedures for a study of concept learning are discussed. Several definitions of the term "concept" are analyzed, and the relations among concepts, chains of concepts, and hierarchies of concepts are explored. Conceptual learning is discussed from several points of view, and axiom systems for the…

Godfrey, Leon D. – 1974
In this volume, the results of a study of concept learning are presented. (The background for the study, and descriptions of the treatments--rote reception, rote discovery, conceptual reception, and conceptual discovery--are provided in Part 1.) Several hypotheses concerning the effectiveness of these treatments in learning concepts and on the…

Hofmann, Th. R. – 1974
A comparison of the syntactic characteristics of mathematical equations and Eskimo syntax is made, and a proposal that Eskimo has a level of structure similar to that of equations is described. P:t performative contrast is reanalyzed. Questions and speculations on the formal treatment of this type of structure in transformational grammar, and its…

Lind, Donald J. – 1970
Reported are the results of an eighteen-month study of junior college students using programmed algebra materials. Of the 118 students tested at the beginning of the study, only 77 completed the course. When the students were divided into three subgroups based on either their entering mathematics ability or reading ability, the highest group…
