This bibliography lists references related to diagnostic and prescriptive instruction in mathematics education. The references are given in alphabetical order, without annotation or categorization. (MNS)

This annotated bibliography provides journal references on how children learn mathematics and about diagnostic and remedial techniques for teaching mathematics, particularly at the elementary school level. A large number of the articles report research in diagnostic and prescriptive mathematics. (MNS)

This second annotated bibliography provides references to articles, books, dissertations, and presentations published since the first bibliography appeared in 1979. The focus is again on how children learn mathematics and on diagnostic and remedial techniques for teaching mathematics, particularly at the elementary school level. Many research…

This document contains 15 research papers presented at the Fourth and Fifth Annual Conferences of the Research Council for Diagnostic and Prescriptive Mathematics. The papers are organized into four sections. In part I, four position papers by Romberg, Engelhardt, Ashlock, and Heddens reflect research ideas which underlie the Council. Part II…

This document contains 14 papers selected from those presented at the Seventh Annual Conference of the Research Council for Diagnostic and Prescriptive Mathematics. Categorized as interdisciplinary studies are reports on "Mathematics as an Activity of Our Intelligence" by Skemp and a study on "The Brain Basis of Developing…

Three diagnostic questions are presented and discussed to help locate a child's difficulty in problem solving. (JT)

This set of papers was selected from presentations made at the Fourth and Fifth Annual Conferences of the Research Council for Diagnostic and Prescriptive Mathematics because of their pertinence to classroom teachers. The papers concern: (1) "Research and Development Related to Learning about Numerals for Whole Numbers: Implications for…

Five invitational addresses presented at the Fourth National Conference of the Research Council for Diagnostic and Prescriptive Mathematics are included in this document. "The Nature of the Clinical Investigation" (Romberg and Uprichard) discusses the validity of clinical investigations and suggests guidelines for conducting such studies…

This set of papers, selected from presentations at the Fourth and Fifth Annual Conferences of the Research Council for Diagnostic and Prescriptive Mathematics, are of primary interest to mathematics educators. In the first paper, Romberg describes a model for diagnosing mathematical learning difficulties which extends the diagnostic process beyond…

The clinical interview can be a useful individualized assessment and remedial tool for students with difficulties in arithmetic. To use it effectively, the examiner must establish rapport with the student, discover his metacognitive strategies, and determine the student's optimum ability level. (JDD)

The "open-entry, open-exit" Educational Testing and Learning Clinic (ETLC) at Orange Coast College uses an extensive battery of tests and individualized remedial programs to identify and correct learning difficulties. The full mean score of the ETLC students on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale was about seven points below the norm, but within…
