A single case study of smartpen-enhanced college algebra tutoring
Page: 1095
Students taking courses below calculus are an understudied population in undergraduate mathematics education, as are students with mathematics difficulty or disability. Students seeking additional help are likely to seek YouTube and other outside resources, which may not mesh with in-class instruction. Since secondary education research suggests that targeted tutoring is beneficial to students with mathematics difficulty or disability, this single case study investigated if there was a functional relationship between a Smartpen to create videos for a student with a mathematics disability to listen to during tutoring sessions and her achievement on synthetic division problems over a four week intervention.
