The controversy over appropriate educational uses of computers is framed along a continuum based on the amount of support provided to the user. Software programs in which the user's role is to respond in a pre-determined structure (program controlled software) anchors one end of the continuum, while software which empowers the user to create new…

Hodes, Carol L. – 1984
This study examined the relative effectiveness of different types of computer feedback (both corrective and noncorrective) on student achievement. A total of 41 students in grades 9 and 10 comprised the two treatment groups. The subjects all interacted with a computer program written by the researcher. The first treatment group received corrective…

Philippi, Jorie W. – 1989
At-risk program participants, those students who are in danger of not making a successful transition from school or preemployment training programs to productive lives, usually remain on the fringes of the economy. Instruction in school-to-work curricula is designed to help students obtain jobs, but seldom addresses the issues of the ongoing use…

Muskin, Carol – 1990
A model of the influences on teacher practice and student learning is formulated and illustrated by analyzing the practice of 12 high school history teachers in 6 schools. Since the data base contains both observations of 228 lessons, as well as extensive interviews with teachers and department chairs, it is possible to assess the opportunity for…

Rieber, Lloyd P.; Hannafin, Michael J. – 1987
A study was carried out at Pennsylvania State University to examine the effects of both textual and computer animated orienting activities--i.e., mediators through which new information is presented to the learner--and practice on the application and problem solving skills of elementary school students. It was hypothesized that students provided…

Hanclosky, Walter V. – 1986
Two studies were conducted to compare the advance organizer and concept elaboration models of instruction with a task analysis approach. It was hypothesized that the concept elaboration group would achieve significantly higher than either the advance organizer group or the task analysis group on concept learning and principle learning. A pilot…

Hines, Stephen J.; Seidman, Steven A. – 1988
This study examined the effects of feedback (immediate, delayed, or no feedback) and the type of control (external or internal) on computer-assisted instruction (CAI), and also considered the influence on achievement of such factors as computer anxiety, self-concept, learning style, and gender. Subjects were 336 undergraduates, the majority of…

Char, Cynthia A.; Tally, William – 1986
These four case studies examine the introduction of interactive videodisc technology into three classroom settings by two art and two science teachers at the elementary school level. Five models of videodisc use were employed: (1) teacher presentation or teacher-led class discussion; (2) activity stimulus; (3) programmed disc-based environments…
