Describes the components of SEEN, a computer program which provides an environment that prompts the user to create, support, and test an hypothesis, and its applications in an introductory world literature and an art history course. (MBR)

This study presents exploratory evidence to prove that student computer usage is correlated with academic performance using course grades as an academic performance measure. No conclusive evidence was found to indicate student performance and computing are related, but a significant relationship between course instructor and computer usage was…

This study of 4,506 journal articles reveals that 4.4% of psychology article titles and 33.4% of mathematics article titles contained at least one eponym each (expression consisting of individuals's name plus word denoting idea associated with person). Twenty-two references, sample eponyms and citations, statistical tests, and source journals are…

Reports the results of a screening test used to identify fifth and sixth grade students who employ a text processing strategy based on an inaccurately constructed hypothesis about the material being read. (FL)

The intention of this research is to contribute additional data, hopefully bearing on the solution to some of the problems and indirectly, the cause(s) of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and to present ideas for consideration for future SIDS research. (Author/RK)

Seven hypotheses, chief of which is that differences in job satisfaction will be found among library units and among occupational groups within libraries, were tested individually using one-way analysis of variance on sample of employees in three university libraries in early 1970s. Sixteen references are included. (EJS)

This article advances hypothesis that current university library book expenditures are no greater than past expenditures and explores six methodological questions involved in testing the hypothesis. A comparative study of German university libraries in 1860 and 1960 and American unversity libraries in 1910 and 1960 is presented. References are…

This study of 23 academic libraries investigated variables which affect (and to what extent they affect) librarians' perceptions or evaluations of OCLC as an innovative system. Job security was identified as the single most important factor in technological change. Hypotheses of the study and the survey questionnaire are appended. (EJS)

Surveys 30 studies involving 104 separate tests of the "similar structure hypothesis" which holds that, when nonorganically impaired retarded and nonretarded persons are similar in developmental level, they are also similar in the processes and concepts by which they reason. (Researchers distinguished between studies that excluded…

A Type VI error results from inconsistency between the researchers' question of interest and the statistical procedures employed to analyze the data. An example of a research problem is analyzed to show the increase in statistical power resulting from improved research design, using multiple regression instead of analysis of variance. (CTM)

Discusses three major areas of research in science education which take place at the National Institute for Pedagogical Research (INRP), Paris, France. European cooperation, future prospects and a list of publications of the INRP are also presented. (HM)

Reports on an experiment that investigated whether third graders designated as good readers were significantly better than poor readers at hypothesis testing when decoding words. (HOD)

Winne and Walsh's Reanalysis (EJ 229 157) of Gauthier and Yarworth's study of self-concept and participation in high school activities (EJ 189 606) is addressed, particularly with respect to the statistical techniques used. The intentions of the original article are also clarified. (GDC)
