Becker, Lee A. – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1988
Explores how a set of possible student misconceptions about solving a complex problem can be used in computer-based intelligent tutoring systems and in computer-based exercise and test generation. Topics discussed include expert systems, misconception covers, discrimination trees, methods of acquiring the set of misconceptions, and protocol…

Holmberg, Borje – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1985
Develops a theory of mediated learning from practice. Problems inherent in developing theories are reviewed; general assumptions are identified; and a descriptive theory is generated that identifies favorable factors facilitating learning. Factors are checked for consistency and used to generate hypotheses for collecting research data capable of…

Watson, Jane M. – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1984
Describes a study of an individualized university mathematics course where students were given a choice of testing options. Topics discussed include measurement of such covariates as age, years at university, enjoyment of mathematics, and quantitative ability, and the relationship of covariates and testing choice. Results indicate students made…

Taylor, John F. – Programmed Learning and Educational Technology, 1982
The development of a low cost input system is discussed in terms of the appropriateness of imposing program-controlled answering strategies on candidates attempting a conventional multiple choice objective question achievement test. Systems used for the management of learning and strategies students use to answer tests are highlighted. (Author/EJS)
