Olson, Lyle D. – Journalism Educator, 1987

Campbell, Robin – Journal of Research in Reading, 1987
Describes a study of oral reading errors by six-year-olds indicating that previously read words are frequently substituted at points of miscue, but that reliance on this source decreased over the year, casting doubt on previously postulated developmental phases of reading. (HTH)

Zehavi, Nurit; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1985
A model of qualities of mathematical activity was developed within a framework of learning goals. A clinical application of the model is described, in which ninth-grade students were given assignment projects. A hierarchy of effective guidance was established, permitting diagnostic evaluation and progressive development of mathematical activity.…

Bright, George W. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
How computers have affected diagnosis in mathematics is discussed. A distinction is made between errors and mistakes, followed by consideration of computers as a diagnostic tool. The development of algorithms to diagnose errors and of models of student performance is described. (MNS)
Descriptors: Cognitive Development, Computer Assisted Instruction, Diagnostic Teaching, Elementary Secondary Education
Wachsmuth, Ipke; Lorenz, Jens-Holger – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
Analysis of errors children make is modeled both with and without computers. Patterns of thinking are traced for a fifth grader, with the discussion focused on getting clues for remedial instruction by analyzing the dialog. (MNS)
Descriptors: Case Studies, Cognitive Processes, Computer Simulation, Diagnostic Teaching
Cornish, Francis – IRAL, 1986
Presents rules for the correct use of the French pronouns "ce" and "il," based on the criterion of discourse coherence and an understanding of the principles underlying the use of demonstrative vs. personal pronouns. (MSE)
Descriptors: Coherence, Discourse Analysis, Error Patterns, French

Tatsuoka, Kikumi K. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1984
Forty-six junior high students were administered six tests after a variety of instructional units using PLATO and classroom instruction. Twenty-seven procedural errors in signed-number arithmetic problems were classified into two groups to facilitate investigating error changes at different times and designing remedial instruction. (BS)

Ney, James W. – Written Communication, 1986
Examines some of the theoretical and practical objections to error analysis and proposes it would be more appropriate for teachers to lead students through the use of creative language exercises into the use of many of the possible sentences in a language. (HOD)

Allen, Keith D.; Fuqua, R. Wayne – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1985
Evaluates the efficacy of two training procedures for eliminating selective stimulus control observed with three trainable mentally retarded children. In another experiment, improvements in stimulus control were not a function of varying degrees of difficulty between stimulus sets or of a prior history of discrimination training with the less…

Chiosi, Lou – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Instructional strategies that will develop the concept of a fraction are presented. Fractions as counting numbers, measures, and subdivisions are included, with a combination of regions and number lines suggested as a teaching aid. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Error Patterns, Fractions

Foxman, Derek; Ruddock, Graham – Mathematics in School, 1984
Results from an English assessment of achievement on two geometric topics, line symmetry and angles, are reported. Contrasts in the patterns of responses to related items, and to the same items by pupils aged 11 or 15, are highlighted. (MNS)
Descriptors: Educational Research, Elementary Secondary Education, Error Patterns, Geometric Concepts

Piper, Terry – Canadian Modern Language Review, 1984
Results of a study of sound system acquisition of five-year-old students of English-as-a-second-language show that first- and second-language learners exhibit similar but not identical simplification processes, and that evidence for a common developmental sequence in acquisition of consonant sounds was limited. (MSE)

Ashworth, Gregory J. – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 1983
The accuracy of data collected by Dutch geography students in a field study of commercial activities in a French city was monitored with data available from official lists. The causes of error, both in student work and official sources, and some lessons for future field work are examined. (Author/IS)

Cohen, Andrew D.; Robbins, Margaret – Language Learning, 1976
A study of certain aspects of second language learning among three university students, all in an advanced ESL class at UCLA. An error analysis of written verb forms was undertaken. An examination of correction revealed that it was neither systematic nor enlightened enough to actually influence error production. (Author/RM)

Selden, Annie; Selden, John – Online Submission, 2003
In this paper we describe a number of types of errors and underlying misconceptions that arise in mathematical reasoning. Other types of mathematical reasoning errors, not associated with specific misconceptions, are also discussed. We hope the characterization and cataloging of common reasoning errors will be useful in studying the teaching of…
