Publications are coded for elementary, junior high, senior high, and reference usage. (MP)

Systems that automatically assess student programming assignments have been designed and used for over forty years. Systems that objectively test and mark student programming work were developed simultaneously with programming assessment in the computer science curriculum. This article reviews a number of influential automatic assessment systems,…

In this article we present a segment of Sulinet Digital Knowledgebase curriculum system in which you can find the sections of subject-matter which aid educating the database management. You can follow the order of the course from the beginning when some topics appearance and raise in elementary school, through the topics accomplish in secondary…

Is foreign-language teaching at the college level simply a numbers game? Put another way, should administrators follow the feet of students as they make their wishes known by the courses they choose? Sure, if universities conceive of themselves as trade schools preparing their students for employment. If that is really the aim, administrators…

Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is a new computing paradigm that has been adopted by major computer companies as well as government agencies such as the Department of Defense for mission-critical applications. SOC is being used for developing Web and electronic business applications, as well as robotics, gaming, and scientific applications. Yet,…

We report on responses to a series of four questions designed to identify pre-existing abilities related to debugging and troubleshooting experiences of novice students before they begin programming instruction. The focus of these questions include general troubleshooting, bug location, exploring unfamiliar environments, and describing students'…

With the increasing use of dynamic media in multimedia learning material, it is important to consider not only the technological but also the cognitive aspects of its application. A large amount of previous research does not provide preference to either static or dynamic media for educational purposes and a considerable number of studies found…

In addition to the input/output record format, the program flowchart, the program listing, and the program test output, eight documentation items are suggested in order that they may serve as a base from which to start teaching program documentation. (Author/AG)

SLIP (Symmetric List Processing) is a list processing system designed to be added to a higher order language (PL-1 in this version) so that the user has available to him list processing powers. The primary value of such a system is its data handling power. Through SLIP, one can set up lists of data, scan those lists, alter them, and read or write…

An Interactive Decision System (AIDS) is described as a computer-based technique to rationalize the judgment process. This technique is intended to allow a typical manager to make decisions with more complete use of information available and fewer loose ends than is usually the case. (Author)

Recently a number of experiments have been performed whose aim was to compare programming language features to determine which programming language features programmers found difficult to use. This paper examines these experiments in light of the evidence that programming language designers would find most useful. (Author)

Describes an instrument created to measure the general level of computer literacy of high school students and to obtain baseline data on student awareness of computer concepts. (Author/IRT)

The use of overhead transparencies can enhance the whole-to-parts method of teaching computer concepts.

Computer applications in music, especially with regard to research in music folklore, are discussed. (CK)
