Identifying critical learner traits in a dynamic computer-based geometry program

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Investigated the effects of student working-memory capacity, preference for amount of instruction, spatial problem-solving ability, and school mathematics grades on eighth graders' recall of factual information and conceptual understanding. Pairs of students worked through 16 activities using a dynamic, computer-based geometry program. Presents the results as they relate to four hypotheses about critical learner traits.
