Tague, Jean; And Others – Library Trends, 1981
Discusses the notion that knowledge grows exponentially and describes its growth mathematically by an exponential function. Growth patterns in subfields of knowledge or research areas are described citing related research. Interpretation of growth rate statistics and forecasts are included. Thirty-three references and statistics used for graphs…

Leinhardt, Gaea; And Others – Review of Educational Research, 1990
This review of the introductory instructional substance of functions and graphs analyzes research on the interpretation and construction tasks associated with functions and some of their representations (algebraic, tabular, and graphical). The nature of learning is analyzed in terms of intuitions and misconceptions. (TJH)

Tatsuoka, Kikumi K.; And Others – 1993
This study introduces procedures for constructing a proficiency scale for a large-scale test by applying Tatsuoka's Rule Space Model. The SAT Mathematics (SAT M) Section 2 is used for illustrating the process and the results. A task analysis is summarized in a mapping sentence, and then 14 processes and content attributes are identified for…
