A Computer Program To Increase Comprehension Of The Cartesian Rectangular Coordinate System In High School Pre-Algebra Students, I Sheck Exley
A Computer Program To Increase Comprehension Of The Cartesian Rectangular Coordinate System In High School Pre-Algebra Students, I Sheck Exley
Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive
The high percentage of high school Pre-Algebra students having difficulty learning the abstract concept of graphing ordered pairs on the Cartesian rectangular coordinate system was addressed by the creation and implementation of a computer-managed instruction program. Modules included a pretest, instruction, two practice sessions, and a posttest. To increase motivation and thereby enhance learning, the practice modules were designed in the form of a game. Students were exposed to the program on computers over a period of two weeks. The results indicated a greater increase in achievement for the target group than for four similar Pre-Algebra classes of this researcher. …

Improving Intermediate Mathematics Problem Solving Scores Through Specific Instruction And Self-Evaluative Techniques, Charlotte K. Tilles
Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive
The author defined a deficiency in test scores in an a fifth grade setting that consisted of above-average intelligent students and devised a treatment to remediate the targeted students. The objectives were to improve test scores; improve affective behaviors; improve basic skills knowledge; improve the concept of word problems involving money; and to increase instruction in mathematical vocabulary. The researcher defined a target group by using a pretest. The target group worked within the heterogeneous fifth grade classroom setting. Small discussion groups were defined within the setting for the purpose of peer interaction within the discipline pf problem solving. Large …
The Establishment And Comparison Of Prediction Equations For Determining Minimum Gpa's In Applied Arts Programs At Dixie College, Robert L. Cobb
The Establishment And Comparison Of Prediction Equations For Determining Minimum Gpa's In Applied Arts Programs At Dixie College, Robert L. Cobb
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This study was an attempt to establish and compare prediction equations for determining a minimum GPA of 2.00 in the Applied Arts programs at Dixie College. It also attempted to compare the derived predict ion equations used to determine mini mum GPA 1 s in both the Academic Arts and Applied Arts Divisions. The study compared the derived prediction equations used to determine minimum GPA's for each vocational program in the Applied Arts Division. The study attempted to determine and compare the most reliable predictor in the Academic Arts Division, total Applied Arts Division, and each vocational program in the …
