Description
Summary:This study compared the mean scores of the final examinations given to 2 populations of junior college students taking College Algebra by 2 instructional methods. The control group received instruction by the traditional approach of lectures and classroom discussion; while the experimental group had their lectures and discussions supplemented by multimedia lessons which could be taken in the college library outside of the regularly scheduled class period on a voluntary basis by those students that felt they needed extra instruction. A statistical treatment of the data using the T-test showed a significant difference in the achievement of the 2 groups. The experimental group's achievement was significantly higher than the control group's achievement at the 1% level of confidence. (Author)
