This paper reports on research related to computer programing in the secondary school mathematics curriculum. The first section gives the background and nature of the problem, explains the organization and limitations of the study, and defines the terms used. The second section presents an annotated bibliography, organized into four parts. The first part includes: (1) studies on computer literacy; (2) uses of computers in education; (3) content to be taught in the secondary mathematics curriculum; and (4) characteristics of student programmers. The second part concerns the effect of the computer on student attitudes. The effect of the computer on student mathematical achievement is the focus of the third part, and the final part involves gender differences and the computer. In the third section of the paper, a summary of the annotated reports is given, followed by conclusions and four recommendations. A 26-item bibliography of works cited concludes the paper. (MNS)
