Frith, May B. – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1975
The interlanguage hypothesis, as it accounts for some of the problems and complexities inherent in second language learning, is described. This approach is compared with the strong version of the contrastive analysis hypothesis. Strengths and weaknesses of the interlanguage hypothesis are examined. (Author/RM)

Hart, Kathleen – Mathematics in School, 1978
Thirty-five secondary school children were interviewed on a one-to-one basis using questions which involved concepts considered as basic to the notion of ratio. One implication of the study is that a doubling ability is no indication of the ability to tackle other ratio questions. (MN)

Pearson, Craig – Learning, 1977
Tests can identify the strengths and weaknesses of the child, not only in terms of right and wrong answers, but also in terms of how and why the child succeeds or fails to meet significant mathematical standards. (JD)

Francis, H. – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 1977
The work reported in this paper was designed to explore the strategies used by 5-year-olds reading sentences from the first book in their school reading scheme, and to test predictions of error patterns derived from the work of MacKinnon (1959) and Soderbergh (1971). (Author)

Rosengrant, Sandra F. – Modern Language Journal, 1987
Evaluation of the Russian oral and written proficiency of third-year university students (N=9) suggested a clear relationship between the students' initial oral proficiency ratings and the grammatical accuracy of their written compositions; the lower a student's oral proficiency rating, the greater the average number of written mistakes, and vice…

Olson, Lyle D. – Journalism Educator, 1987
Examines four topics in composition research that are pertinent to journalism instruction: writing as process, writing across the curriculum, modes of instruction, and dealing with errors. (FL)

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)

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.

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)
