Long, Samuel M.; Riedesel, C. Alan – 1967
A demonstration project tested the efficacy of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) as a means of providing individualized in-service education in mathematics to elementary school teachers. Seventy-eight teachers were assigned to matched experimental and control groups; the former received a CAI version of the Modern Mathematics (Modmath) course on…
