  • Uses of microcomputers to enchance precalculus mathematics

    Creator:
    Ivey, Kathy M. C.
    Abstract:
    Microcomputers are being used in teaching and learning mathematics. This paper examines ways that computers can be used to enhance teaching in precalculus mathematics. The advantages of computers discussed are: 1) instant access to graphs, 2) examples that are not oversimplified to make computations manageable, 3) encouragement of hypothesizing and...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • A comparison of the effect of computer-assisted-instruction and same-age peer-tutoring on math achievement of fourth grade students

    Creator:
    Pflug, Elizabeth A.
    Abstract:
    A pretest-posttest design was used to compare the effectiveness of computer-assisted-instruction (CAI) drill and practice with the effectiveness of same-age peer-tutor drill and practice on promoting mastery of multiplication facts. The subjects were students from three, fourth grade classes in the Reedville School District of Aloha, Oregon. Two fourth grade...

  • A study of the contrast between computer assisted instruction and the traditional teacher/learner method of instruction in basic musicianship

    Creator:
    Vaughn, Arthur Clarence
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to contrast the effectiveness of computer-assisted ear-training instruction with the traditional style of ear-training instruction to determine if computer-assisted instruction increased the students' ability to identify auditory stimuli utilized in Basic Musicianship at a rate different from that of the traditional methodology. Procedures The...
