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.

This quasi-experimental study examined the effect of supplemental mathematics computer-assisted instructional programs on the achievement of students in grades three and four over a two year period. This study evaluates the computer-assisted instruction (CAI) supplemental interventions through the lens of the sheltered instruction approach to teaching English Language Learner (ELL) students. The students who took part in the intervention attended nine elementary schools in one Arkansas district in the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 school years. Data from Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessments were analyzed using a factorial ANOVA with pretest and two posttests over the course of two school years. Data variables included ELL status and method of instruction CAI v Traditional Instruction (TI). This study sought to determine the impact CAI programs had on the math MAP RIT scores of third and fourth grade students in the district. Both ELL and non-ELL students were included in the study to determine if the CAI programs were more successful with either group. Results indicated that use of CAI does not exact significantly different math achievement scores than TI alone, according to math MAP RIT scores. Results were analyzed using an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures for two different factors. The TIME*ELL*CAI interaction was not significant, however, the main effect of group (ELL) was significant, as was the effect of time. Post hoc contrasts found that math scores for all groups at the follow up sessions were significantly higher than scores observed at baseline.

Children from low-income and ethnic minority backgrounds have demonstrated substantially lower levels of math achievement than their middle class majority peers for decades. The present study addressed two research questions: (1) when used as a supplement to typical classroom instruction and in isolation from the larger curriculum, does Building Blocks Software lead to improvements in math achievement as measured by proximal and distal measures of mathematics?; and (2) are the impacts of supplemental use of Building Blocks Software specific to math achievement? Nine Title 1 schools drawn from a large urban school district in Texas that primarily served students from low-income and ethnic minority backgrounds participated in this study. Forty kindergarten classrooms, all with full-day programming, participated. The sample consisted of 243 monolingual English speaking children (52% female). Most of these children represented ethnic minorities: 63% were African American, 30% Hispanic/Latino, 4% mixed ethnicity, 2% Caucasian, and 1% other. At the study's onset, the sample's scores on norm-referenced standardized tests of verbal ability (M = 84; SD = 14) and nonverbal ability (M = 77, SD = 11) were low average and below average, respectively, indicating risk for poor academic outcomes. Participants were randomized to receive computer assisted instruction with "Building Blocks Software" or "Earobics Step 1", a literacy software program. Randomized control trial; participants were randomized with equal probability from within classroom to one of the two experimental conditions. Children's numeracy skills were assessed with the "Research Based Early Math Assessment," a measure proximal to the Building Blocks Software at the beginning (i.e., pretest) and at the end (i.e., posttest) of children's kindergarten year. At posttest, the Applied Problems subtest from the "Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement," a distal measure of broad math achievement, was administered. To examine treatment specificity, vocabulary was assessed with the "Expressive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test" at pretest and posttest. Significant benefits for posttest math scores, but not vocabulary scores, were seen for children in the "Building Blocks Software" condition. For numeracy scores at posttest, there was a main effect for group, F(1, 178) = 8.08, p

The United States ranks in the middle of the nations participating in the Programme for International Student Assessment, and secondary education has not seen growth in mathematics achievement since the 1970s. Computer-assisted math education offers a new opportunity to increase mathematical achievement with students. Pearson Education’s MyMathLab has shown promise at the higher education level with enhancing student proficiency in concepts. The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of Math XL, the secondary counterpart to MyMathLab, could increase mathematics achievement, measured by the performance on the end-of-course test for Algebra I and Geometry for high school students in a computer-assisted math intervention program. The quasi-experimental posttest-only study enhanced the current knowledge of MyMathLab/Math XL as a tool for higher education and demonstrated the effects of using it at the secondary level. The sample was taken from high school Algebra I and Geometry students at an online high school in a southern state. A comparison group was created from students meeting the same criteria for the computer-assisted math intervention program who chose not to participate. An analysis of variance was used to test for statistically significant differences in the end-of-course test scores in those students enrolled in a computer-assisted math intervention program and those students not enrolled in a computer-assisted math intervention program. The analysis found no significant difference in the mean between the group enrolled in computer-assisted intervention and those not enrolled.
