The Educational Effectiveness and Economics of Delivery of the PLATO Basic Skills Mathematics Lessons: A Field Study.

Poore, J.H., Jr.; And Others

AEDS Journal, v15 n1 p31-51 Fall 1981

Three Florida high schools used the computer-based PLATO Basic Skills Mathematics program for remedial mathematics lessons. Students showed a median gain of 1.5 grade equivalents and improved attitudes toward mathematics and school. A model of the project's cost effectiveness indicates the need to manage the program carefully. (Author/RW)
