The study was conducted on an urban, elementary school campus in a northeastern school district in Texas. A mixed-methods approach was utilized in an attempt to understand two teachers' perceptions about its use in fifth-grade science and evaluate its impact on fifth-grade students' attitudes toward science. The first inquiry employed a qualitative research design in an attempt to understand teachers' perceptions towards the use of Study Hall 101. Data collection methods used in this study included interviews, focus groups, and electronic-mail (e-mail) responses to open-ended sentence stems. Four favorable themes emerged from teachers' responses: (1) students' attitudes toward science, (2) students' participation in science class discussions, (3) content individualization, and (4) students' engagement. Teachers' frustrations also emerged into themes: (1) time constraints, (2) technology glitches, and (3) specific design elements. The second inquiry employed a quantitative research design in an attempt to investigate the impact of Study Hall 101 on seventy fifth-grade students' attitudes toward science after an eight-week period. The Modified Attitudes Toward Science Inventory (mATSI) was used for data collection and was administered to students on two occasions, before and after treatment. Results indicated no statistically significant change in fifth-grade students' overall attitudes toward science as a result of its use; however, two statistically significant findings did occur when data were analyzed across attribute variables of gender, ethnicity, and economic status, as well as specific domains within the mATSI. First, the use of Study Hall 101 was associated with males' and females' attitudes in opposite ways in regard to one domain of the mATSI: self-concept toward science. Second, students in the control group experienced a decline in another attitude domain of the mATSI: desire to do science. The results of this study contribute to the field of K-12 education as we search for effective educational tools to reach diverse student populations. This study concludes that teachers' perceptions of this software are favorable and that its use in fifth-grade science should be considered as a tool to engage students in their own learning process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focused on the effect of computer-aided instruction on mathematics achievement. Two schools within the same district, one which utilized computer instruction and one which did not, were studied and then measured by the PSSA test. The hypothesis was that students who used computer-assisted mathematics instruction would have significantly increased mathematics achievement compared with those who have not used computer-assisted mathematics instruction. In general, the study showed no significant difference in student achievement for the two groups.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the Chapter I supplemental mathematics program CAI with other Chapter I supplemental mathematics programs, Prescription Learning and the traditional "pull-out" program, in terms of achievement and retention of mathematics basic skills. There were 577 Chapter I students from 12 middle schools and 3 elementary schools in the Portland Public School District in Portland, Oregon, who participated in the study. The subjects in the three treatment groups, CAI, Prescription Learning, and the traditional "pull-out" program, were naturally assembled. Students in all treatment groups were pretested prior to their treatment. After one academic year, subjects were post-tested. The fall to spring difference in scores was used to measure achievement. Subjects were post-tested again in the succeeding fall. The difference in the first post-test and the second post-test was used to determine retention over the summer months. The criterion instrument used was the Portland Achievement Levels Tests. A one-way analysis of covariance with the pretest as the covariate measure was used to statistically test the null hypotheses. F-ratios were computed and evaluated to determine whether group differences on criterion measures were significant. The Findings Four hypotheses were tested in this study. Two were related to achievement and two were related to retention. The results of testing the hypotheses indicated: 1. The achievement of Chapter I students receiving CAI supplemental instruction in mathematics basic skills is significantly higher than the achievement of Chapter I students receiving supplemental mathematics instruction by either Prescription Learning or the traditional "pull-out" program; and 2. The retention of Chapter I students receiving CAI supplemental instruction in mathematics basic skills is not significantly different from the retention of Chapter I students receiving supplemental mathematics instruction in basic skills by either Prescription Learning or the traditional "pull-out" program.

Pflug and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pretest-posttest design was used to compare the effectiveness of computer-assisted-instruction (CAI) drill and practice with the effectiveness of same-age peer-tutor drill and practice on promoting mastery of multiplication facts. The subjects were students from three, fourth grade classes in the Reedville School District of Aloha, Oregon. Two fourth grade classes were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: CAI and same-age peer-tutoring. A third class was designated as a control group. Students in the CAI group drilled on multiplication facts independently at a computer for 10 minutes per day for 25 days. Students in the same-age peer-tutor group tutored classmates using multiplication flashcards for 5 minutes and were tutored for an additional 5 minutes for a total of 10 minutes per day for 25 days. The control group received traditional math instruction consisting of daily, one-minute, mastery tests. Drill and practice was independent and self-paced. Treatment consisted of drill and practice on multiplication facts with multipliers 0-9 and multiplicands 6-9. The pretest and posttest were computer-constructed criterion tests consisting of randomly selected multiplication facts from the treatment set. Fifty-two students began the treatment. Forty-five students completed treatment and the posttest. Analysis of variance and Tukey's multiple comparison test showed a significant difference between the CAI group (x̄ = 48.00) and control group (x̄̄ = 67.60) on the pretest. However, on the posttest, analysis of covariance revealed no significant difference among the groups (p = .05). Therefore, the null hypotheses for the study were accepted. The hypotheses predicted there would be no significant difference between the groups' mean math scores on the posttest. Although the study did not identify either CAI or same-age peer-tutoring drill and practice as more effective than the other, it did show both strategies to be equally effective in promoting mastery of basic math facts. The adjusted group means were CAI: 93.97 and same-age peer-tutoring: 93.43. In finding the two strategies to be equally effective, the study identified same-age peer-tutoring as a cost-effective alternative to CAI drill and practice. The findings have implications for staff development, curriculum planning, and for teachers' selection of drill and practice strategies.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) versus traditional lecture-type instruction on triangles. Two quasi experiments were conducted in six 6th grade classes with a total of 108 students respectively. The students in the control groups were taught the concepts of triangles in their original classes, while the students in experimental groups were instructed in a computer lab. Experimental group students utilized Interactive Middle School Math Bundle, which is an interactive Webpage-typed tutorial. The tutorial, featuring descriptions, sound, animation and self-examination, allowed students to navigate and self-explore themselves. Independent-t was used to analyze the data. The analysis revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between the students' achievement in the control and experimental groups. The result implies that teachers could use computer-assisted instruction software only as a supplemental tool. Further research is recommended to examine effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction with an extended time span. (Contains 2 tables.).

This book was released on 2012 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different instructional types used in a mathematics intervention setting. In recent years, school staff have implemented mathematics intervention programs to aid struggling students and improve student achievement. Advancements in technology have enticed many school staff to purchase computer-based instructional products that are used for mathematics intervention. Often computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is the only mathematics intervention students receive, however staff in the school of this study used a structured curriculum (SC) along with CAI Therefore, this study examined the effects of CAI compared to a SC delivered by a teacher. This study used a three-group pre/post-test design, which examined the effects of CAI, SC, and CAI with SC on mathematics achievement and students' attitudes towards mathematics. The follow research questions guided data analyses: 1) Is there a significant instructional type effect on mathematics achievement? 2) Is there a significant instructional type effect on mathematics attitude? 3) What is the factor structure of mathematics attitude scores of struggling learners? Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed no statistically significant instructional type effects on mathematics achievement or attitude towards mathematics. However, factor analyses of pre-survey attitude scores revealed a factor structure different from the one found in current research. Meanwhile, factor analyses of post attitude survey scores resulted in a factor structure resembling that found in current literature, which suggested a shift in struggling students' mathematics attitude structures after they participated in mathematics intervention. The results of this study provided information about how school leaders and administrators can design and implement mathematics intervention programs as well as the role of CAI in intervention programs. Additionally, lapses in fidelity of program implementation may have influenced results of the study and provide recommendations for teacher professional development and monitoring in order to maintain high levels of fidelity when implementing an intervention program. Finally, the results of this study suggested that struggling learners' attitude structure might be different than that of students in the larger population. The researcher discussed implications these differences may have on the design of mathematics intervention programs.
