Brown, Cynthia; And Others – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 1992
A teaching method for introductory computer science based on visualization and using extensive amounts of software is explained. Visualization is used to integrate other student activities, including reading algorithm and data structure descriptions, studying code for model programs and toolkits, designing software components, and building or…

Miller, Craig L.; Bertoline, Gary R. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 1991
An overview that gives an introduction to the theories, terms, concepts, and prior research conducted on visualization is presented. This information is to be used as a basis for developing spatial research studies that lend support to the theory that the engineering and technical design graphics curriculum is important in the development of…

Gruska, Jozef – Education and Computing, 1993
Describes shortcomings of computer science/engineering education and explains a new focus on informatics. Highlights include simulation, visualization, algorithmization, design of information processing models, parallel computing, a history of informatics, informatics versus physics and mathematics, and implications for education. (51 references)…

Gastil, John – Sex Roles: A Journal of Research, 1990
Tests the hypothesis that the generic "he" contains male bias. Results suggest that generic "he" evokes disproportionately male images, as compared with plural "they," which appears to function more generically. Argues that this bias may reinforce sexist thought and behavior. (CJS)

Salthouse, Timothy A.; And Others – Intelligence, 1990
Three hypotheses accounting for individual differences in spatial visualization ability were investigated in 2 experiments with 142 male undergraduates at Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta). Support was found for the preservation-under-transformation hypothesis, suggesting that effectiveness of storage during concurrent information…

Foley, Mary Ann; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1993
Examined the effects of narrative statements used to evoke imaginal elaborations on children's recall. Found that children generated images that involved multiple referents and that children's memory performance was facilitated when their imaginal constructions were based on material created by themselves rather than on descriptions provided by…

Weibe, Eric N.; Clark, Aaron C. – Engineering Design Graphics Journal, 1998
Describes courses designed to complement mainstream technical graphics courses in architectural and mechanical graphics. Vocational track students and precollege students mainly benefit from these courses. Contains 23 references. (DDR)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Uses in Education, Course Descriptions, Design
Paulston, Rolland G. – Compare, 1997
Asks how mapping changes in the visual culture of comparative education before and after the postmodern turn could increase understanding about the emergence of social mapping. Illustrates modernist scopic regimes, describes how social cartography has elaborated a new social mapping rationale, and notes implications for theory and practice of…

Lin, Xia – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1997
Focuses on developing a map display for information retrieval. Through an examination of relationships among visual displays, information retrieval, and browsing, advantages of visual displays for information retrieval are characterized. Examples of the map displays show that they can be used as overview tools and access/exploration tools, and…

Baker, Rose; Dwyer, Francis – International Journal of Instructional Media, 2000
The purpose of this meta-analytic assessment was to examine the instructional effect of visualization, color versus black and white, and method of presentation (self-paced versus externally paced) in terms of facilitating high school and college student achievement on tests measuring different educational objectives.
