ABSTRACT
The main purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness
-of using computers in the teaching of Mathematics to
first year secondary school students through two teach ing
methods: Computer Tutorial Method and Computer Modelling Method.
Specifically, the study aimed at finding out the effectiveness
of using computer in the teaching of a computerized unit in
Mathematics and its effect on achievement in Mathematics by
employing the two methods, and finding out the difference between
the two methods. In addition, the study aimed at finding differ~
nces between each of the two methods with the Traditional
Method of teaching Mathematics and its effect on achievement in
Mathematics. Accordingly, five hypotheses were stated.
The study sample consisted of total of one hunderd and six
(N=106) first year secondary school students, assigned to three
groups: 2 experimental groups and one control group. To establish
homogenity of the sample, certain factors such as intelligence,
age, previous final score in Mathematics, and socia-economic
level were considered.
Two study units were designed for each of the two methods:
Computer Tutorial Method (A total 277 frames) and the Computer
Modelling Method (a total 12 models). Consequently, the
esearcher prepared an achievement test, presented it to jury,
and later applied it as a pre-and post-test.

statistical analyses of data were Blake’s formula to study
the effectiveness of the two methods, One-way Analysis of
Variance to determine the effect of treatment, and t-test defferences.
Results of the study show that both methods (Computer
Tutorial and computer Modelling with limited participation of the
teacher) were effective in teaching Mathematics. The ratioSbased
on Blake’s equation we~ 1.314 and 1.42 respectively. When the experimental
groups were tested for difference based on obtained
mean scores in the achieviment test, a level of .05 significance
was found in favor of the second group (Computer Modelling
Method).When both methods were each compared with the Traditional
Method, result s showed,in favour of the computer Tutorial and
Computer Modelling~ significenc at the level of 0.01.
It appears then that the Computer Tutorial and computer
Modelling are effective methods in teaching Mathematics to first
year secondary school students.
The researcher justifies the effectiveness of the two methods by
highlighting the advantages of computer over the traditional
method of teaching Mathematics.
A number of recommendations are suggested among which are
the need for teacher training in the use of computer and its
potential in developing creativity, developing tutorial software,
etc. suggest ions for further reseach include - among others -
attitudes towards the use of computer in general and its use in
teaching Mathematics in particular to a group of samples other
tha~ the one used in this study.
