Beyond the Evident Content Goals Part I. Tapping the Depth and Flow of the Educational Undercurrent.
Peer reviewedDugdale, Sharon; Kibbey, David – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1990
The first in a series of three articles, successful instructional materials from a 15-year software development effort are analyzed and characterized with special attention given to educational experiences intended to shape students' perceptions of the fundamental nature, interconnectedness, and usefulness of mathematics. The software programs…

Peer reviewedDugdale, Sharon; Spiro, Rand J. – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1990
The second in a series of three articles, some themes of an undercurrent of educational objectives that move beyond the evident content goals are outlined. The themes relate the computer software materials analyzed in Part I to the cognitive experiences that students should have in learning about subject matter. (MDH)

Peer reviewedDugdale, Sharon – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1990
The third in a series of 3 articles, a study of 30 students was conducted to test the effect of restructuring a unit on trigonometric identities around microcomputer activities based on the themes of educational undercurrents identified in Part II. Experimental-group students scored significantly higher relating trigonometric functions to their…
