A Study on the Effect of Distractive Algebra in Teaching Higher Mathematics to Non-Technical College Students

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In the following study a modification of the method which is used to teach mathematics to non-technical college students is investigated. Several sections of the same mathematics course, consisting approximately 30 students each, were investigated. Analysis was done on a common final examination and it was found that the students from the modified teaching method group had a statistically significant difference in their testing scores, with their mean score being higher.
