Separate papers examined: post-industrial economy and education; advances in British industry; attitudes toward industry; and technological unemployment. Change strategies for the education and employment of young adults were discussed. (CP)

A paradigm depicts research as a continuum along three major dimensions: utility--basic v applied; nature--theoretical v empirical; and causality--least v most experimental. (CP)

Children (ages three and four) living in high-rise flats performed poorly on gross motor ability tests as compared to children living in houses. (CP)

Separate experiments investigated parietal lobe malfunction; developmental v acquired dyslexia; whole-word, syllabic, and alphabetical reading ability; phonological recoding; and spelling. Reading processes and memory of normal and aphasic children were compared. (CP)

Adolescents, ages 11-12 and 13-14, were tested for maturity of judgment about stability-change situations and about time perspective. (CP)

The computational difficulty of the word problem sections of eight standardized achievement tests was analyzed with respect to the variety of computational procedures and the number of digits per whole number computation. Analysis reveals considerable variation among the current tests in terms of computational procedure and difficulty. (Author/MK)

Results of this study suggest that exemplification and characterization moves can be taught to preservice teachers by the training procedures used in this study and that this training facilitated the acquisition of selected concepts by elementary students. (MK)

Relationships between mathematics attitude and mathematics ability were investigated using six scale scores from Sandman's Mathematics Attitude Inventory and four mathematics scores from the California Test of Basic Skills. Results showed significant differences in mathematics attitude and mathematical ability among the class levels and the…

The authors challenge some of the conclusions reached about Piaget by Brian Rotman in his book. (MK)

Communication of mathematical structure from curriculum developers to teachers and then to classes of secondary students was investigated. A high correspondence among the cognitive structure of curriculum developers, content structure, and teachers' cognitive structures, and between cognitive structure of a class and that of its particular…

An exploratory investigation of various incorrect solution procedures used by students attempting to solve a variety of forms of open sentences is reported. The study identifies specific incorrect strategies, indicates their relative frequency of occurrence, and attempts to offer some explanation for certain of the incorrect procedures used. (MK)

This pilot study was conducted to generate some hypotheses on teachers' assessment and sensitivity and to examine the value of the individual v social distinction in teachers' implicit theories about student achievement. (Author/MK)

The results of this study indicate no significant differences on two achievement tests and one aptitude test between calculator and non groups. Nevertheless, the investigator notes several advantages of using the calculator. (MK)

This study investigates the effects on achievement of allowing students to ask questions before homework is collected v allowing questions only after homework has been graded and returned. Results indicate allowing questions before homework is collected is the superior method. (MK)

The author discusses the importance of statistical significance to researchers and suggests that researchers should consider an additional statistic, the magnitude of effect index. (MK)
