Effect of Computer Graphics on Improving Estimates to Algebra Word Problems.
Reed, Stephen K.
Journal of Educational Psychology, v77 n3 p285-98 Jun 1985
Four experiments involving 180 undergraduates evaluated the effectiveness of computer graphics in improving estimates for algebra word problems. Variations in the simulation resulted in successful and unsuccessful programs as measured by the frequency with which students improved their estimates. Quality of feedback to students while learning is compared for various programs. (Author/ DWH)
