An Evaluation of a Tutorials-Package for Teaching Mathematics for Secondary Schools

Abstract

A learning-package for Mathematics was designed using a computer to create tutorials and drills for retention of equations for students, also it was designed to encourage the learning process, and enable learners to label and recall the types of Circle's Equations, and use these types of equations in solving Mathematics' problems. This research investigates whether or not the learning package for Mathematics (Circle’s equations) meets the four adequacies of computer-based instructional material (Cosmetic adequacy, Technical adequacy, Curriculum adequacy, and Pedagogical adequacy). The learning package for Mathematics was implemented to (40) students in El-Sbatasher high secondary schools (grade 3) in Omdurman. The important findings are grouped according to the interview of subject expert, questionnaire, an observations, and pre-test and post-test. 1. The learning package for Mathematics meets the four adequacies of computer-based instructional material 2. The learning package for Mathematics meets the purposes set effectively. 3. The Learning-package for Mathematics via computer enhances cooperative learning
