THE RELATIVE EFFECTIVENESS OF TEACHING FIRST YEAR ALGEBRA BY TELEVISION CORRESPONDENCE STUDY AND TEACHING FIRST YEAR ALGEBRA BY CONVENTIONAL METHODS

DAVID WAYNE WELLS, University of Nebraska - Lincoln

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relative effectiveness of teaching first year algebra by television-correspondence study and teaching first year algebra by conventional methods. This objective was accomplished by statistical analysis of the differences in the achievement of pupils enrolled in first year algebra in six small Nebraska high schools who received instruction by television-correspondence study and the achievement of pupils enrolled in first- year algebra in five small Nebraska high schools who received instruction by conventional methods.Relative to the differences in the experimental conditions, it was specifically proposed to test the following hypotheses:(1) There is no difference in the achievement of pupils who are taught first year algebra by television- correspondence study and the achievement of pupils who are taught first year algebra by conventional methods.
