Li, Huijun; Hamel, Christine M. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2003
A review of 38 articles published from 1990 to 2000 on college students with learning disabilities and writing difficulties (LD/WD) found four major topics were discussed: available assistive technology; effectiveness of assistive technology; characteristics and error patterns in the writings of college students with LD/WD; and instructional…

Mestre, Jose; And Others – NABE: The Journal for the National Association for Bilingual Education, 1988
Examines comprehension of sentences with multiple negations among 71 monolingual Anglo and bilingual Hispanic undergraduate science and engineering majors. Finds that both groups misused rules of logic and natural discourse; similar groups benefited from training to eliminate inappropriate reasoning strategies, but only Anglos retained the…

Blando, John A.; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1989
Seventh-grade students were tested to uncover arithmetic errors. Answers and intermediate steps were analyzed and models to represent students' behavior were developed. Certain errors were common across students. Others were tied to the format of the test item. Some superficial understandings of mathematical concepts were exposed. (Author/DC)

Resnick, Lauren B.; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1989
Documented are major categories of errors that appear as children learn decimal fractions. Then the conceptual sources of these errors are established. Different curriculum sequences influence the probability that these classes of errors will appear. They can be used as diagnostic tools to detect children's understanding of mathematics topics.…

Lyons, Carol A. – Urban Education, 1989
The Reading Recovery Program offers individual reading lessons. Students are dismissed from the program when they reach a certain level of proficiency. A study of the errors made at entry reveals learning-disabled children rely on visual information and ignore supportive language, while other at-risk children utilize both. (VM)

Rusling, James F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Investigates minimizing errors in computational methods commonly used in chemistry. Provides a series of examples illustrating the propagation of errors, finite difference methods, and nonlinear regression analysis. Includes illustrations to explain these concepts. (MVL)

Dubinsky, Ed; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1994
Describes observations, written samples, and interviews of (n=24) high school teachers learning concepts of group, subgroup, coset, normality, and quotient group in an Abstract Algebra course. General observations are made about the role of errors and misconceptions in light of an action-process-schema framework. (32 references) (MKR)

Parker-Gibson, Necia – College Teaching, 1995
To help college teachers assist students in approaching reference materials to obtain citations, basic points that students should identify within citations are specified, and useful classroom techniques and materials are suggested. Common errors in search strategies are also noted. Some suggestions are made for selection of indexes for searching.…

Vance, Richard P.; Prichard, Robert W. – Journal of Legal Education, 1992
A survey of 144 first-year law students from 78 undergraduate institutions investigated their level of cultural literacy. On average, students identified 24.1 percent of the 250 test items correctly, with widely varying error patterns by subject. It is concluded that students come to law school without enough factual information about our culture.…

Winch, Christopher; Gingell, John – Language and Education, 1994
Reports on the writing performance of Saint Lucian schoolchildren with particular reference to possible dialect interference in written speech. The study focuses on characteristic errors in the writing as well as the causes and significance of these errors and explores the available remedies. (21 references) (Author/CK)

Miller, Lamoine J. – Diagnostique, 1990
A checklist is presented to help structure systematic observation and diagnosis of students' handwriting. A breakdown of handwriting skills is accompanied by possible problem behaviors and related factors (such as grasp of writing instrument and motor skills) to consider in error analysis. The most common elements diminishing legibility are…

Mitchell, Eugene S.; And Others – College and Research Libraries, 1994
Describes a study conducted in 1988 that investigated book availability in an academic library by providing a quantitative measure of library performance based on outcomes of card catalog searches and that can serve as a model for ongoing assessment in the library. Results are compared with earlier research from 1986. (Contains 12 references.)…

Adigwe, J. C. – Research in Science and Technological Education, 1992
This study investigated sex differences in chemical problem solving among Nigerian secondary school chemistry students (100 males and 100 females). Male students excelled over the female students in the following problem-solving processes: (1) problem understanding; (2) construction and execution of solution plans; (3) exhibition of structural…

Chapman, Marilyn L.; Michaelson, Myra – Canadian Journal of Research in Early Childhood Education, 1998
Used multiple case studies to examine the writing of eight second graders in a dual curriculum school with Hebrew as an additional language. Findings revealed some letter and directional reversals, mostly conventional word boundaries, and invented spellings in both languages. Evidence suggests that learning to write in an additional language is an…

Rispoli, Matthew – Journal of Child Language, 1998
Investigated whether the rate and patterns of pronoun case error were influenced by the composition of an individual pronoun's paradigm. Twenty-nine children ages 2;6 to 4;0 years were audiotaped interacting with their primary caregivers in various settings. Results indicated that 27 children produced case errors. The composition of a pronoun's…
