Peer reviewedClarke, Valerie A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Measured girls' (N=43) attitudes toward mathematics and general ability before and after a Logo learning experience. Results suggest that the Logo experience had a positive effect on general ability and on expressed interest in learning about mathematics. (JN)

Funk, James E. – 1987
This paper reports on research related to computer programing in the secondary school mathematics curriculum. The first section gives the background and nature of the problem, explains the organization and limitations of the study, and defines the terms used. The second section presents an annotated bibliography, organized into four parts. The…

Peer reviewedMacGregor, S. Kim – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Investigated was the effect of programing-augmented mathematics classes on the math achievement, problem solving abilities, and attitudes of students with different cognitive styles. Reports BASIC programing groups demonstrated higher mathematics achievement than the LOGO group, and field independent students performed better and had more positive…

Johanson, Roger P. – 1985
This study addresses three questions: (1) whether sex is related to ability and interest in computers; (2) whether a relationship exists between the presence of a computer in the home and a child's ability and interest in computing; and (3) the combination of factors that account for students' perceptions of success in developing programming…

Jang, Younghee – 1993
The relationship between learning to program at a construct level and learning and study strategies was studied for college students enrolled in a beginning Pascal programing course and a calculus course (four sections of the programing course and two of the mathematics course). For both the experimental group (n=42) and the first control group…

Dalton, David W. – 1986
This comparison of the effects of LOGO use with the use of teacher-directed problem-solving instruction, and with conventional mathematics instruction, focused on the problem-solving ability, basic skills achievement, and attitudes of junior high school learners. Students (N=97) in five seventh grade mathematics classes were systematically…
