Holland, L. A.; Joliffe, F. R.
International Journal of Computers in Adult Education and Training, v1 n2 p7-14 Fall 1988

This paper discusses the advantages of this approach and illustrates it by considering instruction on summarizing distributions of individual variables. The importance of stating results and conclusions is emphasized. (JOW)
