The Application of Microcomputers in Acquiring Multiplication Facts Mastery.
Mich, Peter T.; Nardine, Frank E.
Recall of multiplication number facts is a major educational objective in elementary grades, yet some children never acquire total mastery. A microcomputer multiplication number facts training program was developed which incorporated programmed instructional features including feedback, positive reinforcement, vanishing, branching and pairing. Additionally, skip counting both forward and backward was emphasized. Thirty third-grade subjects completed the training and the results indicated that the mean performance was maintained when tested four months later. Mean performance of the treatment group was significantly greater than the non-treatment group. Implications for further study were discussed. (Author)
