Described is a student-discovered algorithm for solving a problem involving division by a fraction. (RS)

Describes a program which stresses student self-instruction. The innovative abilities of students using the A-T approach are nurtured and expanded. This paper presents what can be done in the science classroom as the result of genuine student participation in the learning and teaching processes. (LS)

Part of an eight article review of "Student Involvement .

Elementary students in all grades at New Hampshire's Atkinson School participate in a writing program that encourages them to develop their own topics and make their own corrections and revisions, with help from fellow students and with guidance from teachers. (Author/PGD)

Offers seven guidelines to follow when submitting student work for publication. Lists and discusses magazines for children. (RL)

How to design a programed course with successive classes of students until the role of the instructor becomes minimal. (LS)

Discusses student publications (collections of student essays, commentaries, stories, poems, comments, and journals) from college writing classes--what they are, and where they come from. Pays particular attention to what teachers and students do with them in the classroom and what this says about interdisciplinary teaching. (RS)

When participants in professional development create their own practice-based case studies for use in training, the result is more accurate, realistic, and applicable material. The process aligns with constructivism and adult learning, accommodates varying levels of expertise, and enables the sharing of multiple perspectives. (SK)

That students will eventually use computers in place of traditional textbooks is almost certain. Just watch the eight-year-old children at your local elementary school pulling their backpacks (now on wheels). Will the digital textbook become more than a CD-ROM of the print version? First, like most other education technologies, it will be an…

Student-authored multimedia projects are an interesting and effective way to promote learning through extensive, focused writing. The equipment and software required to undertake such projects are readily available and straightforward to use with minimal training.

A study was conducted on some of the tips given to the students for capturing the video of the dynamic activity on their computer screens. It was found that the above activity of creating a video proved to be useful to the mathematics educators and the students for presentation in the conference or in the classrooms.

The rapid evolvement of the computing domain has posed challenges in attempting to bridge the gap between school and the contemporary world of computing, which is related to content, learning culture, and professional norms. We believe that the interaction of high-school students who major in computer science or software engineering with leading…

This article evaluates the utility of the Early Authors Program, a 12-month early literacy intervention emphasizing highly meaningful language interactions that was implemented in childcare facilities in an ethnically and linguistically diverse, urban, low-income community. Children learn to be writers and readers by creating their own…

Relatively few experimental studies have examined the effectiveness of study guides on student exam performance. The authors compared exam scores for students who were given instructor-generated study guides versus students who generated their own study guides. Participants were undergraduates enrolled in three identical sections of an…
