FE OBI : WHAT DO KIDS THINK ABOUT COhPU'TIRS t do Kids ° : About Computers ? Frederick H . Eei l Coordinator, Mathematics Education Program s University ot Pittsburg h Pittsburgh, PA 1526 u Several mcdes of computer use have teen stoma to be quite etrective i n improving learning in secondary schools (Bell, 1914), and a number o t studies have verified that students who use computers to supplement thei r study of mathematics do at least as well as students who do not us e ccnputers (Kieten, 1973) . Although it is well established tha t computer-augmented instruction can improve learning, the reasons tor thi s phencmencn have not been conclusively determined . the specific questio n explored in the study reported in this paper is : Wly is computer-related learning such an ettective educational strateg y it secondary school mathematics ? Design of the Stud y For this study it was hypothesized that computer-related instruction i s a coed way tc learn mathematics because : 1. Writing computer programs to solve problems requires students t o completely analyze and understand each step In their problem-solvin g algorithm . 2. The novelty inherent in a
