Effects of Thematically Integrated Mathematics Instruction on Students of Mexican Descent.
Henderson, Ronald W.; Landesman, Edward M.
Journal of Educational Research, v88 n5 p290-300 May-Jun 1995
Reports a college-school project that examined the effects of thematically integrated mathematics instruction on Mexican American middle school students' mathematics achievement, attitudes, and motivation. Students receiving thematic instruction surpassed traditionally instructed students on mathematics concepts and applications. The two programs did not have differential effects on attitudes toward mathematics. (SM)
