Metzler, Michael – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 1989
Current literature on time-related research in sport pedagogy is discussed in four general areas: conceptualization of time, measurement of time, how time is spent in physical education and sport settings, and unknown elements of time-related events. A six-item agenda for further research on time in sport pedagogy is suggested. (IAH)

Salthouse, Timothy A. – Developmental Psychology, 1994
Two studies of adults between the ages of 18 and 87 were conducted to determine the relations among age, motor speed, perceptual speed and 3 measures of cognitive performance: study time, decision time, and decision accuracy. Results indicated that increased age was associated with lower accuracy as well as with longer study and decision time.…

Dempsey, John V.; And Others – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1993
Describes a study of undergraduates in a biology course for nonmajors that examined the effects of four methods of immediate corrective feedback during computer-based instruction (CBI). The relationship between types of corrective feedback and types of errors made by learners during CBI and during a later retention test is also examined. (33…

Reimers, Fernando – Comparative Education, 1993
In approximately 1,000 grade-4 and grade-5 classrooms in Pakistan, student mathematics and science achievement were not related to teacher absenteeism, aggregate student absenteeism, or minutes of instruction. The findings suggest the limits of educational policy interventions: that mandatory allocated instructional time is less relevant to…
