Sfard and Kieran [Kieran, C., Educational Studies in Mathematics 46, 2001, 187-228; Sfard, A., Educational Studies in Mathematics 46, 2001, 13-57; Sfard, A. and Kieran, C., Mind, Culture, and Activity 8, 2001, 42-76] have developed a methodological framework, which aims at characterizing the students' mathematical discourses while they are working…

Making math concepts understandable is a challenge--one that is more complex when a classroom includes students with learning difficulties. With this highly practical resource, teachers will have just what they need to teach a critical content area with confidence: research-based strategies that really work with students who have learning…

When university academics implement changes in learning, such as introducing blended learning, it is conventional practice to examine and evaluate the impact of the resulting curriculum reform. Judging the worth and impact of an educational development is a complex task involving subtle differences in learning. Qualitative methods to explore these…

At the high school and college levels, teachers tend to teach to their own learning styles because they find comfort and ease using methods they know. Students, however, exhibit a variety of learning styles. A questioning process led some teachers to analyze their students' problems further and to consider various categories for which they…

Suitable for secondary school students, the workbook provides flowcharting activities to help students understand the logical steps used in problem solving. Before applying the flowcharting procedures to mathematical problems, students are first introduced to familiar non-mathematical problems such as sharpening a pencil or eating peanuts. Section…

The role of differential processing opportunities in directed forgetting was investigated in two free-recall experiments. (Editor)

Programs designed to benefit handicapped children and youth with the support of the Bureau of Education for the handicapped were described with an accompanying chart listing BEH priorities correlated with different types of handicaps. (RK)

This report, sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), focused on the access of 1972 high school graduates to postsecondary education and jobs in 1973-74. (Author/RK)

Author presented a theory of thinking designed to multiply our power as thinkers, problem-solvers and learners. (Author/RK)

The article presents a model suggesting that the continuous flow technique can be applied to industrial training by applying production management techniques to skills training. (Author)

This paper sought to demonstrate that the framework guiding educational research must be modified to stress the selection of mutual areas of educational concern from a cross-national perspective and the use of valuative premises based on a comparative analysis of Soviet and American education. (Author/RK)

Article focused on the process of getting into curriculum change, using the RISE report as a tool. Author suggested a RISE Report Study Committee (RRSC), composed of interested educational staff members, community leaders, and students, who would spearhead an assessment of the counseling and learning options for all students. (Author/RK)

Mathematical concepts and experiences are recalled and organized in a flow chart format. The power of unifying ideas in mathematics often causes this sequence to be forgotten or assigned less importance than it should be. (SD)

Article provided an effort to construct a typology of minority group adjustments in universities and examined the university's problems in structuring its activities to fit ethnic groups. (RK)
