Abstract

The study evaluated the effects of a personalized computer-assisted mathematics problem-solving program on the performance and attitude of fourth grade Taiwanese students. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the personalized computer-assisted program improves student performance and attitude over the non-personalized program. A total of 165 Taiwanese fourth-grade students participated in the study. The research used the pretest-to-posttest to determine if the computer-assisted program was effective between the two groups. The results of the study showed that the personalized computer-assisted program on mathematics improved student performance and attitude. The achievement of students in the personalized group was significantly higher than those in the non-personalized group. The posttest score of the personalized group was significantly higher than the posttest score of the non-personalized group. The attitude of students in the personalized group was significantly more positive than those in the non-personalized group.
