  • Real roots of polynomials : an interactive computer approach

    Creator:
    Moussaoui, Ahmed
    Abstract:
    This is an interactive, self explanatory computer program on real roots of polynomials with real coefficients. This program called POLYROOT has the double feature of tutoring and problem solving. It allows the user to enter on one line any polynomial with real coefficients. Then, the user can find : 1....

  • The effects of computer assisted instruction on student achievement in high school biology

    Creator:
    Morrell, Patricia D.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to determine if computer assisted instructional (CAI) tutorials in high school biology differ in effectiveness in terms of student academic achievement when compared with the more traditional lecture/discussion type of instruction. Additionally, student attitudes toward CAI were measured using a student attitude questionnaire. The...

  • Augmenting self-study materials with microcomputer-based lessons: a case study

    Creator:
    Giangrande, Ernest
    Abstract:
    An experiment was conducted at Oregon State University to evaluate the effectiveness of Computer Aided Instruction based lessons in a self study environment. The 47 student subjects were assigned to one of three groups: a CAI-EXP group which used a CAI lesson for teaching introductory FORTRAN formatted input and output;...

  • Learning functional descriptions from examples

    Creator:
    Flann, Nicholas S.
    Abstract:
    The task of inductive learning from examples places constraints on the representation of training instances and concepts. These constraints are different from, and often incompatible with, the constraints placed on the representation by the performance task. This incompatibility is severe when learning functional concepts and explains why previous researchers have...

  • Al-Khorezmi : an intelligent algebra tutoring system

    Creator:
    Bayley, Garland J.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents our investigation of the problem of creating an intelligent tutor for solving algebra word problems that employs effective pedagogy. Among our major concerns are the problems of sufficient knowledge and proper knowledge organization. From student protocols and test papers, we derived sets of general purpose strategic rules...

  • Effects of individualized examples and personalized contexts in computer-based adaptive teaching of algebra word problems

    Creator:
    Lwo, Lwun-syin
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the present investigation was to develop an adaptive teaching model for an interactive computer-assisted instruction (CAT) program and to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of individualized examples or individualized examples in personalized contexts. Translating word problems into equations provided the context for the CAT investigation. Four...
