Williams, Jerry M. – Canadian Modern Language Review, 1990
Teachers are encouraged to learn to codify student errors of selection and usage and to promote use of dictionaries and other lexical tools so students can achieve proper pronunciation and identify colloquialisms, misuse of idioms, and lack of grammatical logic in complex constructions. (MSE)

Flege, James Emil; Bohn, Ocke-Schwen – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1989
A study compared how native speakers of Spanish and English produced four English word pairs that are morphologically related but differ in stress and vowel quality. The magnitude of differences observed suggests that second language learners acquire stress placement and vowel reduction in English on a word-by-word basis. (Author/MSE)

Fong, Ho-Kheong – Hiroshima Journal of Mathematics Education, 1995
Illustrates the schematic approach to analyzing children's (n=499) errors in solving mathematical problems using children's written solutions. Identifies five levels of errors: no solution, using irrelevant procedure, incomplete schema with no errors, incomplete schema with errors, and complete schema with errors.

Maree, J. G. – B.C. Journal of Special Education, 1992
This article recommends a holistic approach to student problems in mathematics. Teachers need to be aware of all paradigms (e.g., developmental, behaviorist, psychoanalytic) explaining causes of problems in mathematics. Examples of misunderstandings resulting from insufficient knowledge, insufficient mathematical vocabulary, and overgeneralization…

Engelhard, George, Jr. – Journal of Educational Measurement, 1994
Rater errors (rater severity, halo effect, central tendency, and restriction of range) are described, and criteria are presented for evaluating rating quality based on a many-faceted Rasch (FACETS) model. Ratings of 264 compositions from the Eighth Grade Writing Test in Georgia by 15 raters illustrate the discussion. (SLD)

Ferguson, Dianne L.; Baumgart, Diane – Journal of the Association for Persons with Severe Handicaps (JASH), 1991
This article reanalyzes the principle of partial participation in integrated educational programing for students with severe or profound disabilities. The article presents four "error patterns" in how the concept has been used, some reasons why such error patterns have occurred, and strategies for avoiding these errors. (Author/JDD)
