Aptitude-Treatment Interaction in Mathematics Instruction Using Expository and Discovery Methods.

McLeod, Douglas B.; Adams, Verna M.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v11 n3 p225-34 May 1980

Students in three mathematics classes were assessed on two aptitudes, field independence and general reasoning, and randomly assigned for a discovery treatment. There was a significant interaction with general reasoning on the retention test. There were no interactions with field independence. (Author/MK)
