Algorithm Learning and Problem Solving
Joseph Michael Scandura · The Journal of Experimental Education · 1966
ALGORITHMS EXIST for solving many types of problems. The step-by-step computational proce dures used in arithmetic perhaps provide the most familiar examples, but algorithms are also used in dealing with all sorts of practical and theoretical problems - from trouble shooting to mathemat ical physics. A common feature of such procedures is that they can be applied mechanically without understanding.
