Hanson, Jarice – 1983
This study was designed to compare the attitudinal and lifestyle patterns of video game players with the amount of time they play, the number of games they play, and the types of video games they play, to determine whether their personal use of time and attitude toward leisure is different when playing video games. Subjects were 200 individuals…

Edwards, Lois – 1983
A rationale is presented for teaching gifted students to gain computer literacy, learn programing, use utility software (e.g., word processing packages), and use interactive educational courseware containing drills, simulations, or educational strategy games to develop higher level and creative thinking skills. Evaluation of courseware for gifted…

Evans, Ron – 1982
By exploring ways of designing computer-based instruction without having to learn a computer language and by learning ways of thinking that are compatible with the microcomputer, English teachers can take control of the computer in the classroom. Authoring languages are currently available that allow the teacher to input original subject material…

Hiemstra, Roger; Tucker, Hugh – 1982
The different uses to which two adult educators put their personal computers illustrate some of the many personal and professional applications of microcomputers and point to some implications for home computers in the field of adult education. Relying primarily upon prepared software packages, the first educator relies on his computer as a…

Reed, Robert L.; Reed, Patricia L. – 1984
A set of computer programs was developed to support instruction in an introduction to education course for prospective teachers. The programs provide teacher education students with examples of various uses of the microcomputer to support classroom instruction. The instructional programs represent three types: drill and practice, tutorial and…

Munro-Mavrias, Sandra – 1983
Conservation ability, spatial motor ability, age, and gender were used as predictive variables in a study of 26 kindergarten children's computer programming ability. A preliminary pilot study with first graders had suggested that programming success was related to the ability to reverse thought processes. In both studies, children were taught to…

Archer, Doug – 1981
These materials were designed to be used in inservice training to provide special educators (K-12) with an overview of the microcomputer, including both the terms used to describe it and its capabilities to aid instruction. The preface suggests a sequence for the utilization of the module materials. Then, general background information is…

Mellgren, Millie – 1983
Surveys indicate that while most elementary and secondary school teachers have access to microcomputers, the majority have not applied computer technology in their classrooms. Some teachers are apprehensive and negative toward computers, but in many cases this reflects a lack of information and training and a perceived shortage of software more…

Moursund, David – 1982
Computers are changing the lives of millions of people, but schools are still not producing many computer literate students. Rapid improvements in hardware technology and major progress in the development of software have put computers within reach of everyone. Computer literacy must now be treated as a functional tool similar to reading, writing,…

Deringer, Dorothy K. – 1981
In anticipation of the educational needs of the late 1980s in science, mathematics, and engineering education, the National Science Foundation has supported a variety of projects that can serve as examples and models of the uses of computing in science education. These projects fall into three categories, focusing on the computer as a tool of…

Bork, Alfred – 1982
The personal computer is sparking a major historical change in the way people learn, a change that could lead to the disappearance of formal education as we know it. The computer can help resolve many of the difficulties now crippling education by enabling expert teachers and curriculum developers to prepare interactive and individualized…
