Ross, Steven M.; Anand, Padma G.
Educational Communication and Technology Journal, v35 n3 p151-62 Fall 1987
Describes study designed to investigate the effectiveness of personalizing verbal math problems on division of fractions for fifth and sixth grades using microcomputer-generated lessons. Treatment and control group results are analyzed, and results support the hypothesis that the personalized context group was superior in problem solving and had more positive attitudes.
