Computerized think tanks can reach decisions more efficiently than the standard committee meeting method. (Editor)

Indicates that the use of verbal rewards which are not congruent with behavior will result in less efficient problem-solving than either a neutral, no-reward situation, or the use of rewards which are congruent with the problem-solving behavior. The giving of congruent rewards improved the problem-solving efficiency of girls but not of boys. (LS)

Information obtained in this study involving 72 girls (6-, 9-, and 12-year-olds) documents the facilitating effect of forced verbalization at three age levels. (Author/WY)

The computer is used to explore some worthwhile mathematics in the secondary school classroom. The problems discussed center around Gauss' Existence Theorem for constructible regular polygons. (FL)

In a talk to several regional associations of AACRAO, its past president discusses the status of the registrar on the college campus. (IR)

Discusses the cost advantage of a small laboratory computer and its versatility in solving laboratory problems, collecting and reducing data, and controlling experiments. Student's use is facilitated by the computer's rapid response and simple language. Illustrates its use in calculating activation parameters and rate constants, and in determining…

Argues that the traditional chemistry laboratory manual is not inherently a cookbook and the modern course manual does not automatically eliminate the cookbook approach. Suggests that it is the nature of the teacher guidance that students receive before, after, and during the laboratory work that makes a chemistry program meaningful and effective.…
