Author declares counselors must recognize that the problem-solving process that occurs in a counseling situation is synonymous with classroom learning, and understand the nature of the problem-solving process and how to guide and nurture this process. (Author)

The iconographic means of illustrating mathematical facts is discussed along with several examples of graphical solutions to descriptive mathematics problems proposed by pupils. (MN)

Calculators are a big help in extending classroom activities and this article took a look at how the students of tomorrow might use them. (RK)

Considers two broad dimensions in determining reforms for the CIA--the mission assigned to the Agency and the extent of oversight from outside the Executive branch. (Author/RK)

Presents a convenient notation for powers of ten and logarithms, a demonstration of the nonstoichiometry of nickel oxide, a simplification for obtaining Russell-Saunders term symbols, and a scheme for biochemistry laboratory experiments. (SL)

Discusses a study which investigated whether a computer simulation model could suggest subroutines that were instructable and whether instruction on these subroutines could facilitate subjects' solutions to the problem task. (JM)

Critical reading lays a foundation for problem-solving ability and, ultimately, more intelligent behavior. A reading program designed to teach critical reading skills is briefly described. (Author/IRT)

The difference between constructive and destructive conflicts may be traced to the way in which they are managed. Third-party help is often utilized to achieve constructive conflict management. This article describes two models for conflict management consultation. Five guidelines are given for constructive conflict management. (Author/JEL)

The problems presented at the U.S. Sixth Mathematical Olympiad as well as how the Olympiad selects, trains, and encourages future mathematicians is described. (JT)

An unusual mathematics problem involving two buckets, each of a different capacity, is discussed and analyzed. (JT)

Analyzes attitudinal differences between elite decision-makers and their subordinates, based on a several-year study of eight executives. Concludes that elite decision-makers evaluate situations in terms of "problem impact," view their jobs in relation to broad corporate goals, favor quick decisions, and tend to be "positive thinkers."
