THIS STUDY REPORTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICS PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDED STUDENT SELF-STUDY FEATURES. STUDENTS IN GRADES SEVEN AND EIGHT WERE PROVIDED WITH SELF-STUDY MATERIALS. OBSERVATIONS WERE MADE OF STAFF PATTERNS IN LEARNING. PRE- AND POST-TESTS WERE ADMINISTERED TO THE ENTIRE STUDENT POPULATION AND THE RESULTS ANALYZED. ANALYSES WERE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH MULTIVARIATE TECHNIQUES AND OTHER CHECK METHODS. THERE WERE NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN ACHIEVEMENT MADE BY USE OF THIS NEW INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD. THE PROGRAM DID NOT CHANGE THE STUDENT ATTITUDE TOWARD MATHEMATICS. THE RESULTS ALSO INDICATED THE POSSIBILITY OF FURTHERING RESEARCH ON A COOPERATIVE BASIS BETWEEN SCHOOLS. (RS)
