What Should Be the Role of Calculators and Computers in Mathematics Education?
Baggett, Patricia; Ehrenfeucht, Andrzej
Journal of Mathematical Behavior, v11 n1 p61-72 Mar 1992
Examines the issue of how calculators and computers can best be used in mathematics education. Contends that practicing a procedure is noncognitive and does not produce learning. Suggests utilizing customized computerized tools in schools for getting answers to algorithmic problems instantly, thus allowing teachers to explain and students to think. (Author/MDH)
