| Resumen: | This study compared two methods of instruction, computer-assisted instruction and the traditional method of instruction which included lecture and drill-and-practice, to teach remedial mathematics skills involving whole numbers, decimals, integers, and fractions at the secondary school level. Students in the computer-assisted mathematics group were taught the above skills by using commercial computer programs and a program developed by a local teacher while students in the traditional instructional group were taught these skills by the traditional instructional methods such as lecture and drill-and-practice. The students' achievement levels on their pretests were compared to their achievement levels on their posttests. The mean test scores were compared between the different groups. The data collected suggested that students using computer-assisted instruction achieved at a higher level than those students using the traditional instructional methods, especially students on the lowest achievement levels. |
