| Abstract | A computer program was developed to increase GED test candidate's level of test taking skills, knowledge of algebra and geometry, and self-confidence for the GED Mathematics Test. The computer program was developed and written, then implementation was administered by three teachers in a GED study center. Two math scores were used to determine the effectiveness of the computer program: the GED Official Practice Test and the GED Test. After completing prescribed study material and taking the math GED Official Practice Test, a test candidate was asked to work through the software. The program consisted of nine algebra and geometry questions with corresponding brief and uncomplicated tutorial lessons and testing strategies. A Student Survey was used to determine what, if any, algebra and geometry was learned or reinforced by using the computer program. Teachers used a Teacher Observation form to record spoken or inferred feedback from students indicating increased levels of self-confidence. The results indicated higher scores on the GED Mathematics Test than on the pre-test, increased knowledge of algebra and geometry, and a more positive self-concept. Appendices include the results of the surveys and observations, a printout of the program questions, software evaluation and recommendation forms, and a listing of the computer program. (Author/CW) |
