The Effects of Problem-Solving Software on Problem-Solving Ability.
Funkhouser, Charles; Dennis, J. Richard
Journal of Research on Computing in Education, v24 n3 p338-47 Spr 1992
Pretests measuring problem-solving ability were administered to 71 students in a high school mathematics class. One group was given computer-augmented instruction; the other group was given instruction augmented by mathematics laboratory activities. Posttest results for problem-solving ability were mixed, but the group receiving computer-augmented instruction scored significantly higher on tests of mathematics content. (21 references) (MES)
