Design, development and evaluation of mathematics worksheets using IT for form 1 new secondary schools

Abstract

This study describes the design, development and evaluation of mathematics worksheets for Form 1 New Secondary Schools. The design of the worksheets was based on Steinberg's (1991) six components of computer aided instruction: Target Population, Goals, Task Instruction, Computer Application, Environmental Implementation. The Worksheets were then tried with a sample of thirty five Form 1 students attending a New Secondary School. Nine students and three teachers were interviewed on their opinion of the worksheets. The analysis of the interviews led to the modification of the worksheets and the production of a teachers' guidebook and students' activities. The study concludes with a presentation of findings together with a number of suggestions.
