The annotated bibliography on Creativity--General/Classroom/Problem Solving contains approximately 85 abstracts and associated indexing information for documents or journal articles published from 1962 to 1975 and selected from the computer files of the Council for Exceptional Children's Information Services and the Education Resources Information…

Presents a method for abstracting scientific documents based on a psychological model of a problem solving process. Each component of problem structured abstracts--document problem, problem solution, testing method, related problems, and content elements--is described. When compared with INSPEC abstracts, problem structured abstracts were shown to…

Annotates reference material on artificial intelligence, mostly at an introductory level, with applications to education and learning. Topics include: (1) programing languages; (2) expert systems; (3) language instruction; (4) tutoring systems; and (5) problem solving and reasoning. (JM)

This document provides abstracts of 20 research reports. Topics covered include: children's comprehension of simple story problems; field independence and group instruction; problem-solving competence and memory; spatial visualization and the use of manipulative materials; effects of games on mathematical skills; problem-solving ability and right…

Sixteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. The reports abstracted were selected from five educational journals, four psychological journals, a mathematics journal, and a book of readings. Eight of the articles are related to logical thinking, inference, proof, and problem solving. Three reports deal with…

Fifteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. The reports abstracted were selected from four educational journals and three psychological journals, and deal with a wide variety of topics. The development of children's understanding of diverse mathematical and logical concepts is discussed in four articles,…

Eighteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and critically analyzed. Seven of the reports deal with general instructional concerns (feedback on homework, error patterns, teacher-student interaction, reading strategies, teacher effectiveness, school attendance, and learning environment), four with topics in mathematics…

This issue of "Investigations in Mathematics Education" is divided into two sections. Section one contains abstracts and critical analyses for each of six research reports. Two of the reports are concerned with conservation of number, three with instructional procedures, and one with problem solving. Section two is a listing of doctoral…
