Pupil Autonomy in Learning with Microcomputers: Rhetoric or reality? An action research study [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Describes the Pupil Autonomy in Learning with Microcomputers (PALM) project, which was set up to explore the rhetoric that using computers would make pupils better problem solvers and decision makers and more autonomous learners. Seven principles underlying the operational philosophy of PALM are outlined, and the issue of reporting research related to the PALM project is explored. Selected examples are provided to illustrate the range of research undertaken. The examples illustrate 2 approaches to PALM. One approach provided a carefully structured framework to ensure that children met stated education aims; the other encouraged exploration, while monitoring children's developing mastery.
