Interactive Effects of Prior Mathematics Preparation and Level of Support in College Calculus

Pascarella, Ernest T.

American Educational Research Journal, 15, 2, 275-85, Spr 78

As hypothesized, less advanced students benefited most from a high instructional support treatment (personalized system of instruction) used in an introductory calculus course. Furthermore, as level of prior mathematics preparation increased, the achievement differences between the high and low instructional support (lecture) decreased. (Author/CP)
