The Development of a Software Delivery System for Selected Mathematics Skills for the East Carroll Parish Adult Education Program. Final Report.
East Carroll Parish School Board, Lake Providence, LA.
The variance in adult learner needs requires that adult education classes provide individualized instruction for the adult learner--a time-consuming and intellectually challenging task. To assist in this difficult undertaking, the East Carroll Parish (Louisiana) Adult Education Program developed mathematics tutorial exercises corresponding to the California Achievement Tests, Levels 14-19. The exercises were pilot tested, revised, and finalized. All skill exercises contained tutorial statements for self-help in the software system. The content of the software system contained the following strands: operations, concepts and numeration, ratio, proportion, percent, geometry, measurement, statistics, probability, graphs, integers, and prealgebra. The system contained approximately 150 skills and more than 3,000 skill exercises. These materials were compiled on a series of 18 computer diskettes that are Apple-compatible. Used with a resource teacher, the program has the potential to be successful with adult students. (KC)
