Evaluating change in attitude towards mathematics using the 'then-now' procedure in a cooperative learning programme
Background: Tertiary students' attitudes to mathematics are frequently negative and resistant to change, reflecting low self-efficacy. Some educators believe that greater use should be made of small group, collaborative teaching. However, the results of such interventions should be subject to assessments of bias caused by a shift in the frame of reference used by students in reporting their attitudes.Aims: This study was designed to assess whethe…
Personal computers and process writing
This study was concerned with the effectiveness of word processing as a written language intervention for primary‐age deaf children.

A quasi‐experimental design incorporating multiple‐group baselines with pre‐ and post‐tests enabled all subjects to receive the intervention while maintaining experimental control. Samples o…
Headings Within Multiple‐choice Tests as Facilitators of Test Performance
S ummary . Undergraduate students (N = 287) taking a multiple‐choice test were either provided with headings during the test or completed the test without headings. Students were also tested for field‐independence and later completed a questionnaire concerning their beliefs about the effects of headings in tests. Headings did not facilitate test performance, nor was there any association with field‐independence. However, the majority of students …

The current study combined measures of popularity and intimacy in an orthogonal, factori…
