Peer reviewedGrandgenett, Neal; Thompson, Ann – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1991
Describes a study conducted at Iowa State University that investigated the effects of using guided programing instruction to train analogical reasoning. Two groups of students are compared who received different types of programing instruction, and the far transfer and the near transfer of instruction are explored. (35 references) (LRW)

Peer reviewedSchank, Roger C.; Farrell, Robert – Machine-Mediated Learning, 1988
Discussion of the potential of computers in education focuses on the need for experiential learning and developing creativity in students. Learning processes are explained in light of artificial intelligence research, problems with current uses of computers in education are discussed, and possible solutions using intelligent simulation software…

Peer reviewedMadeo, Laurence A.; Bird, David A. – Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 1990
Discussion of the benefits of allowing programers to use their own words in programing focuses on a study of graduate students that tested whether an experimental group who specified their own operation codes performed better than a control group who used fixed codes. The results of regression analyses are discussed, and future research needs are…

Peer reviewedCafolla, Ralph – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1988
Describes a study designed to determine if college students' success in writing computer programs is related to level of cognitive development as described by Piaget, verbal ability, and mathematics reasoning. Regression analysis showed that level of cognitive development, when combined with verbal reasoning, is linearly predictive of programming…

Peer reviewedLeso, Tim; Peck, Kyle L. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Describes a study of undergraduates that was conducted to describe differences in anxiety in students entering two computer courses (i.e., a problem-solving and programing course and a software applications course) and to assess changes in anxiety levels attributed to each course. Further research is suggested. (19 references) (LRW)

Peer reviewedVan Merrienboer, Jeroen J. G.; De Croock, Marcel B. M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1992
Discusses strategies for teaching elementary computer programing and describes a study that used two instructional strategies in a computer-based training program designed to teach turtle graphics programing techniques to novice undergraduate students. Learning activities that emphasized either the completion of existing programs or the generation…
