Politzer, Robert L. – Foreign Language Annals, 1980
Reviews research on the language learner and immersion-type bilingual education programs. It is noted that formal foreign language teaching may be needed in these programs for primary school children. It is suggested that research is needed and that a combination of functional and formal approaches be used. (Author/AMH)

Horner, David T.; Robinson, K. Desix – Teaching of Psychology, 1997
Discusses the size-weight illusion that occurs when a person lifts two equal-weight objects differing in size and perceives the larger object as lighter than the small object. Describes several inexpensive techniques for demonstrating the size-weight illusion and reviews some relevant issues concerning this phenomena. (MJP)

Piirto, John – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1997
A survey of 101 faculty in a variety of disciplines found that most do not give much attention to the composition of electronic mail messages and are not bothered much when receiving messages containing mechanical or composition errors. Results suggest faculty should be cautious about relaxing the rules of grammar, punctuation, and good writing in…

Nahl, Diane; Harada, Violet H. – School Library Media Quarterly, 1996
A study of 191 juniors and seniors from 6 Oahu high schools tested their ability to interpret and construct search statements after reading brief instructions on concept analysis, Boolean operators, and search statement format. On average, students made two errors per statement; scores and types of errors are examined for influences of gender and…

Leech, David – Issues in Applied Linguistics, 1994
Presents an analytic foundation of English-as-a-Second-Language pedagogical research and application extending beyond the traditional "superficial" categories of morphosyntactic rule violations and false cognates. The study focuses on lexical-semantics, syntax, text-analysis, and pragmatics, and synthesizes major categories of…

Juffs, Alan – IRAL, 1990
Analysis of Chinese undergraduates' oral production of English lexical items they had already been exposed to found that factors affecting both placement and phonetic stress errors involved native language patterns, syllable structure, and the lexical item's position in the rhythmic sequence.

Watson, Jane M. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1988
Presents a selection of solutions of the "Three Hungry Men" problem from grade three to college students with three different strategies used: backward, forward, and forward/backward strategies. Provides error patterns in each strategy. Discusses some implications for teaching of problem solving. (YP)

Armstrong, Anne-Marie – Educational Technology Research and Development, 1989
Discusses self-regulation, learning to learn, and adaptive problem solving, and describes study of third, fifth, and eighth graders. The study investigated whether providing a model of self-regulating skills via teaching a computer to solve problems would increase the number tasks completed, and decrease the error and trial rate. (11 references)…

Lynch, Clifford A. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1988
Describes the unique reliability problems of very large databases that necessitate specialized techniques for hardware problem management. The discussion covers the use of controlled partial redundancy to improve reliability, issues in operating systems and database management systems design, and the impact of disk technology on very large…

Horning, Alice S. – Journal of Basic Writing, 1987
Examines two case studies which illustrate that specific syntactic and semantic difficulties in writing are related to reading problems in syntax and comprehension among basic writers. Asserts that looking at writing miscues can be an appropriate way to analyze writing errors in a reading context. (MM)

Gable, Robert A.; And Others – Teaching Exceptional Children, 1993
This article outlines the last step in a five-step process for preparing students to engage in a systematic mathematics problem-solving and decision-making process. The lesson plan teaches students to reread the problem, reexamine the question, check selection of operation, and recheck calculations and compare answers. (JDD)

Seaman, Scott – College and Research Libraries, 1992
Describes a study conducted at Ohio State University that used data obtained from the interlibrary loan process to determine why some users failed to find existing entries in the online library catalog. User errors as opposed to catalog errors are examined, and implications for bibliographic instruction are suggested. (eight references) (LRW)

Urdang, Lawrence – English Today, 1990
Reviews the current state of World English. Subjects addressed include standard accents and dialects, prejudicial attitudes toward nonstandard "local" usages, the use of English as the language of diplomacy, American influences on the language, and the fracturing of English in non-English-speaking countries around the world.

Strand, Steve C. – Research in Developmental Disabilities, 1991
This study found that teachers' ratings of their 8 severely mentally handicapped pupils' (ages 9-18) classroom behavior were correlated with children's performance on a discrimination learning task. The factors of attention/distractibility and responsivity to consequences correlated significantly with number of errors and number of trials to…

Sublett, Michael D. – College Teaching, 1993
One technique for teaching college-level report writing consists of an essay that students use as a model for their own writing. This model, in turn, contains guidelines for composing a short essay, from title and subheadings to sentence and paragraph structure, word selection, errors to avoid, and revision. (MSE)
