| Abstract: | A semester long study was conducted on the effects of the use of MyMathLab , an online computer assisted instruction (CAI ) software program , on college algebra students . One section of College Algebra had access to the online CAI supplemental to traditional classroom instruction . The other section received only traditional classroom instruction . The students took a pre -test and post -test , filled out a pre -survey and post -survey , and completed a course evaluation and qualitative survey at the end of the semester . The change in test scores was not statistically different between the two sections . MyMathLab did not influence the students’ overall attitude toward math , but it did have a negative effect on the students’ beliefs concerning the time commitments involved in solving math problems . The students thought that entering the answer was too time consuming and frustrating . |
