Sex-related differences in mathematical problem solving performances and intellectual abilities were investigated. A battery of 19 "reference" tests for intellectual abilities and a mathematical problem solving test were administered to 82 fourth-grade females and 97 fourth-grade males. Sex-related differences were found for only two of the…

Blume, Glendon W.; And Others – 1979
Three preliminary studies and one exploratory main study investigated the effect of calculator use on elementary, middle, and secondary school students' solution methods on routine mathematical problems. Items were identified for which a longer and a shorter solution method existed. Half of the sample worked these using a calculator and half used…

FOGLIATTO, HERMELINDA M.; AND OTHERS – 1962
DIFFERENCES WERE STUDIED AMONG NEUROTIC AND SCHIZOPHRENIC PERFORMANCES, ELICITED BY THE WECHSLER-BELLEVUE ADULT INTELLIGENCE SCALE (PICTURE ARRANGEMENT SUBTEST). TWO GROUPS OF 40 ABNORMAL ADULT SUBJECTS WITH INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENTS BETWEEN 84 AND 116 WERE TESTED. ONE-HALF OF THE SUBJECTS WERE SCHIZOPHRENIC. SUBJECTS WERE REQUIRED TO ARRANGE CARDS…

ANDREEN, JEAN; AND OTHERS – 1964
SCIENCE CONCEPTS IN THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CLASSROOMS SHOULD BE BUILT FROM STUDENT EXPERIENCES, NOT MEMORIZED FROM PRINTED MATERIALS. TEACHERS SHOULD BE ALERT AT ALL TIMES AND CONSCIOUSLY ATTEMPT TO SET UP OR CALL ATTENTION TO SITUATIONS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE USE OF PROBLEM-SOLVING TECHNIQUES. THE FOLLOWING GENERAL AREAS ARE SUGGESTED AS…

PRICE, JAMES E. – 1961
TWO METHODS OF PRESENTING PROGRAMED MATERIAL AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE INSTRUCTION ON MENTAL RETARDATES WERE STUDIED--(1) ANSWER-CONSTRUCT (A-C) WHICH REQUIRED THAT THE ANSWER BE WRITTEN-IN AND (2) MULTIPLE CHOICE (MC) WHICH REQUIRED THAT THE CORRECT ANSWER BE CHOSEN AND MARKED. THE SUBJECTS WERE 36 STUDENTS ATTENDING A STATE INSTITUTION FOR…

Rimoldi, Horacio J. A.; And Others – 1979
A technique using information and decision-making theories to evaluate problem solving tactics is presented. In problem solving, the process of solution is evaluated by investigating the questions that the subject doing the problem solving asks. The sequence of questions asked is called a tactic. It is assumed that: (1) tactics are the observable…

DeLoache, Judy S. – 1978
Three studies investigating the emergence and early refinement of intelligent self-correction are described. Forty-one children ranging in age from 18 to 30 months served as subjects. Parents taught their children a hide-and-seek game in which the parent hid a toy in natural locations in the home while the child watched. After a 3- or 5-minute…

Bond, Nicholas A., Jr.; And Others – 1977
This booklet describes two computer programs that were written to provide on-line aid to problem solvers. Both programs were designed for "membership" problems, or those in which there are several English sentences and implicit relationships. The task was to infer a membership structure that is compatible with all the logical constraints.…
