Kidron, Ivy – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2018
In this paper I analyze students' conceptual understanding of the quality of polynomial approximation. In particular, I analyze to what extent the interactive play with various methods of interpolation enables the students to build visual pictures that help understanding the formal mathematical statements. The role of the Mathematica software in…

Liang, Jiajuan; Pan, William S. Y. – American Journal of Business Education, 2009
MATLAB is a powerful package for numerical computation. MATLAB contains a rich pool of mathematical functions and provides flexible plotting functions for illustrating mathematical solutions. The course of calculus-based business mathematics consists of two major topics: 1) derivative and its applications in business; and 2) integration and its…

Ramon Barrada, Juan; Veldkamp, Bernard P.; Olea, Julio – Applied Psychological Measurement, 2009
Computerized adaptive testing is subject to security problems, as the item bank content remains operative over long periods and administration time is flexible for examinees. Spreading the content of a part of the item bank could lead to an overestimation of the examinees' trait level. The most common way of reducing this risk is to impose a…

Quaddus, M. A. – Computers & Education, 1997
This discussion of multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) focuses on an integrated system called MOLP/PC for learning MCDM tools for real world decision making. Results of an empirical test to measure the effectiveness of MOLP/PC are discussed, and the use of MOLP/PC for college courses in Singapore and Australia is described. (Author/LRW)

Ninness, Chris; Rumph, Robin; McCuller, Glen; Harrison, Carol; Ford, Angela M.; Ninness, Sharon K. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2005
Following a pretest, 11 participants who were naive with regard to various algebraic and trigonometric transformations received an introductory lecture regarding the fundamentals of the rectangular coordinate system. Following the lecture, they took part in a computer-interactive matching-to-sample procedure in which they received training on…

Hoppe, H. Ulrich – Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 1994
Examines the deductive approach to error diagnosis for intelligent tutoring systems. Topics covered include the principles of the deductive approach to diagnosis; domain-specific heuristics to solve the problem of generalizing error patterns; and deductive diagnosis and the hypertext-based learning environment. (Contains 26 references.) (JLB)
