Briefly describes the New Orleans schools' computer-managed instruction in mathematics and language arts in the junior and senior high schools. (IRT)

Performance Learning (PL) is a new computer managed way of teaching precalculus college mathematics. Evidence suggests that students in PL classes had significantly higher course completion rates and achievement, and expressed fewer negative attitudes than students in the traditional lecture classes. (Author/IRT)

Shares insights concerning preparation needed for using Computer Management of Instruction (CMI), the general structure of a CMI system, and some system features a user might encounter. Describes the development of Arkansas' Computer-Assisted Instructional Management system for mathematics instruction. (RH)

Many issues were raised in the course of developing a process for evaluating the computer-supported instructional system in mathematics implemented in the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools. This document discusses a representative selection of these issues, addressing individually each of the three major components of the instructional…

Accelerated Math (AM) math management software is a task level learning information system placed in 4th-11th grade classrooms around the country. AM provides teachers with an information system that assures that students can master all math objectives and state standards from grade 3 through calculus. It eliminates teacher paperwork, improves…

Addresses the problems involved in meeting diverse student needs within the classroom. Encourages the use of computer-managed education (CME) to facilitate the record-keeping and decision-making involved in instruction. Explains the use of a CME system in Seattle Community College's mathematics laboratory. Concludes that CME increases…

Describes the computer management system used in teaching a self-paced elementary algebra course at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga including the hardware, database, principal management program, and some report generation using an inquiry language. The source code of the management program is appended. (Author/CMV)

Computer applications in South African schools are described in this five-paper collection of journal articles, which covers a range of projects from primary school and university elementary arithmetic to more sophisticated applications in physics, chemistry, and biochemistry. "Implementation of a System of Computer-Assisted Instruction in…

Describes a system in which the computer, by interacting with an information bank, produces an individual or group diagnostic profile specifying the nature of the factors that contribute to mathematics difficulties and student variability. The computer also generates suggestions for remediating the learning difficulties and accommodating student…

Outlines the variety of ways computers can be used in the classroom, computer literacy/awareness objectives, and proposed guidelines for use of computers in mathematics courses. Comments on research with computers, selecting a microcomputer, and software considerations are also provided. (JN)

During Spring and Summer 1978, the basic mathematics lab course offered at Miami-Dade Community College began to use the college's Response System with Variable Prescriptions (RSVP) to assist in individualizing instruction and record-keeping. The RSVP computer software package permits the maintenance of a record on each student, which includes…

The term "instructional computing" is defined, and its various applications to classroom learning are identified. Psychological, curricular, and pedagogical frameworks for the use of computers in mathematics instruction are discussed, and the teacher's role is explored. Perspectives for teacher education are suggested. (PP)

The Computer Assisted Diagnostic Prescriptive Program (CADPP) is a customized databased curriculum management system which permits the user to load the following into a filing/retrieval software system: (1) learning characteristics of individual students (e.g., age, instructional level, learning modality); (2) skill-oriented characteristics of…

This report describes the federally funded development and field testing of a math drill and practice computer software program for students with mild disabilities. Program features include: pre-assessment of pupil speed and accuracy, automatic placement of the pupil in appropriate problems for practice, automatic monitoring of pupil performance,…

Ten papers focus on applications in specific curriculum areas, modelling and simulation, and computer managed learning. Projects described include voice support for the visually handicapped, distance education, and industrial training, as well as teaching applied mathematics, several facets of engineering, zoology, and, with videodisc, observation…
