Anderson, Ake – 1973
The Swedish National Board of Education sent a study group to the United States to collect information concerning trends on the educational uses of computers and, drawing upon what was learned on the trip to America, to determine the future role of computers in Swedish education. Visits were made to approximately 20 American institutions such as…

Demana, Franklin; Osborne, Alan – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Argues that the type of calculator that is used in mathematics instruction is very important. Suggests that four-function calculators fail to give correct values of mathematical expressions far more often than do scientific calculators. (PK)

Alsalam, Nabeel – Congressional Budget Office, 2004
The Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program guarantees loans for postsecondary education to students and their parents at a limited interest rate. However, limiting borrowers' rates creates a danger that lenders will not be willing to participate in the program if their costs of financing and servicing the loans exceed the interest rates they…

Cronin, John – Northwest Evaluation Association, 2004
Recently NWEA completed a project to connect the scale of the WKCE with NWEA's RIT scale. Six Wisconsin school systems participated in the study, using test information from a group of over 1,500 students enrolled in fourth, eighth, and tenth grade who took both the WKCE and NWEA tests in the fall of 2003. Information from these tests was used in…

McDonough, Andrea; Clarke, Doug – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
Within a major numeracy project, there were marked differences in achievement between classes, which, as reported in Sullivan and McDonough (2002), we attribute to the teachers. To gain insights into the practices of effective teachers, six case studies of highly effective teachers at the Prep (first year of school) to Grade 2 level were…

Radford, Luis; Demers, Serge; Guzman, Jose; Cerulli, Michele – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
In this paper we report an analysis of a teaching sequence in which Grade 11 students were asked to produce some graphs corresponding to the relationship between time and distance of a cylinder moving up and down an inclined plane. The students were also asked to carry out the experience using a TI 83+ graphic calculator equipped with a sensor,…

Tyson, Harriet – 1998
This essay traces the history of two standards--estimation and mental calculation--devised by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). It is hoped that the history of these standards will illustrate the difficulties encountered by other proposed standards and by the standards movement as a whole. The essay provides an overview of…

Wilde, Elizabeth Ty; Hollister, Robinson – Institute for Research on Poverty, 2002
In this study we test the performance of some nonexperimental estimators of impacts applied to an educational intervention--reduction in class size--where achievement test scores were the outcome. We compare the nonexperimental estimates of the impacts to "true impact" estimates provided by a random-assignment design used to assess the…
