Abstract Details

2002, EdD, University of Cincinnati, Education : Curriculum and Instruction.
This study was conducted to describe the selection and adoption of Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutor Algebra I, a computer assisted instructional program, with eighth grade students utilizing a continuous improvement plan mandated by the state of Ohio. Carnegie Learning provides technologically enriched solutions for Algebra I through the utilization of intelligent cognitive tutors and standards based curriculum (CarnegieLearning.com, 2000). Students discover the appropriate mathematics by solving real life/world problems, articulating their solutions, reasoning among multiple representations and making connections to prior knowledge. Students spend 60% of their time working cooperatively solving problems and 40% of their class time working with computer based intelligent tutors. This study describes the steps of a state mandated continuous improvement plan and one district's attempt to implement the steps. This study also describes attitudes of students regarding mathematics and teachers’ perceptions regarding the process for selecting and implementing Cognitive Tutor Algebra I for eighth grade students.
