Mac Iver, Douglas J.; Balfanz, Robert; Plank, Stephan B.
Research in Middle Level Education Quarterly, v22 n2 p1-23 Win 1999
Two studies evaluated the Computer- and Team-Assisted Mathematics Acceleration course (CATAMA) in Talent Development Middle Schools. The first study compared growth in math achievement for 96 seventh-graders (48 of whom participated in CATAMA and 48 of whom did not); the second study gathered data from interviews with, and observations of, CATAMA participants. Findings from both supported use of CATAMA. (LPP)
