A Large-Scale Study Clarifying the Roles of the TI-92 and Instructional Format on Student Success in Calculus.

International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, v6 n3 p191-207 1999

Reports on a study replicating and extending a previous study examining the effects of the TI-92 graphics calculator and calculus instruction on students' success in calculus. Finds that students using a TI-92 had significantly better performance on the final exam and overall course grade than students using other calculators, and student-centered instruction had a positive effect on students' overall success in calculus.
