Friedler, Yael; McFarlane, Angela E. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1997
Presents a study that introduces data logging using portable computers as part of an investigative approach to science. Working with control and experimental classes of 14- and 16-year-olds, results suggest that data logging can have an impact on graphing skills at age 14 which is not necessarily repeatable at age 16.

Reed, JoyLynn Hailey; Judkins, John – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Discusses a study that assessed how students felt about computers and how they perceived computers performed as instructional tools. A majority of the tested students indicated that the computer was a useful tool in their chemistry classes, that the labs were realistic, but computer grading should not be used. (ML)
