- W2462031179 abstract "This study compared the effectiveness of teaching the use of an electronic spreadsheet as a problem-solving tool to that of applying traditional computational methods in selected topics of a postsecondary technical mathematics course. The criteria for comparison were mathematics achievement as measured by the Intermediate Algebra Skills Test of the Descriptive Test of Mathematical Skills (DTMS), mathematics anxiety (specifically, numerical computation anxiety) as measured by the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS), and computer anxiety as measured by Oetting's Computer Anxiety Scale (COMPAS).A quasi-experimental design was employed since non-equivalent intact classes formed the sample population. The treatment group consisted of 22 first-year students and the control group consisted of 23 first-year students of Ranken Technical College, Saint Louis, Missouri. The treatment procedure, use of the Microsoft Works spreadsheet and its associated chart screen to graphically and numerically solve systems of linear and non-linear equations, covered 15 days.The data revealed that both the treatment and the control group mean scores of mathematics achievement increased by an amount significant at p $<$ 0.05, although the treatment group showed a marginally greater gain than did the control group. Non-significant decreases in numerical computation anxiety and computer anxiety were observed among the treatment group. Also, the control group showed a lesser decrease in general mathematics anxiety and recorded a marginal increase in numerical computation anxiety.Discussion of limitations of the study noted the small sample size, the specialized nature of the school environment, the short time span of the treatment procedure, and the lack of precision of the criterion measures. However, the results of the study suggest that spreadsheet use over a longer time span may be effective in increasing mathematics achievement and decreasing mathematics anxiety." @default.
