Bertolo, Stefano – Language Acquisition, 1995
Presents a framework for studying the effects of the Maturation Hypothesis on the problem of language learning, parametrically conceived, and offers a method for finding all existing maturational solutions for any parametric hypothesis space and any learning algorithm that differs from Gibson and Wexler's Triggering Learning Algorithm. (27…

Story, Roger E. – Information Processing & Management, 1996
Discussion of the use of Latent Semantic Indexing to determine relevancy in information retrieval focuses on statistical regression and Bayesian methods. Topics include keyword searching; a multiple regression model; how the regression model can aid search methods; and limitations of this approach, including complexity, linearity, and…

Philippou, George N.; Christou, Constantinos – Studies in Educational Evaluation, 1999
Studied the interpretation of mathematics in terms of algorithmic or coherent views of 1,287 teachers from 12 countries using responses to items from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Teachers from four high-achieving Asian countries were more likely to see mathematics as algorithmic than were teachers from four…

Jo, See-Heyon – 1995
The question of how to analyze unbalanced hierarchical data generated from structural equation models has been a common problem for researchers and analysts. Among difficulties plaguing statistical modeling are estimation bias due to measurement error and the estimation of the effects of the individual's hierarchical social milieu. This paper…

Roddick, Cheryl Stitt – 1995
This study investigated students' conceptual and procedural understanding of calculus within the context of an engineering mechanics course. Four traditional calculus students were compared with three students from one of the calculus reform projects, Calculus & Mathematica. Task-based interviews were conducted with each participant throughout…

Mason, Diana; Crawley, Frank E. – 1994
The purpose of this investigation was to identify and describe the differences in the methods used by experts (university chemistry professors) and nonscience major introductory chemistry students, enrolled in a course at the university level, to solve paired algorithmic and conceptual problems. Of the 180 students involved, the problem-solving…

Taylor, Karen A. – 1991
This review of the literature and annotated bibliography summarizes the available research relating to teaching programming to high school students. It is noted that, while the process of programming a computer could be broken down into five steps--problem definition, algorithm design, code writing, debugging, and documentation--current research…

Gunzenhauser, R. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1975
In this paper, prepared for a European conference on mathematics education, the author examines three types of computer use in undergraduate and high school classrooms: Using the computer as an instructional tool for student development of algorithms, teaching about the computer itself, and use of computer-assisted instruction. (SD)

Rochester, J. F. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1975
The author argues that secondary-school teachers need to be more aware of the content of primary level mathematics work. Citing an algorithm, he discusses the issue of basic skills in relation to the increasing use of calculators. (SD)

Raucher, Steve M. – AEDS Journal, 1974
Using IBM's EPIC:SOCRATES as a vehicle, this paper examines the general work flow of a master schedule generator, the required and optional data necessary to drive such a system, the human methodology of linking data and controlling the system, and the actual algorithmic approach used by the computer.
