Comics as pedagogical tools in first-year linear algebra
Page: 1156
The goal of this study was to determine the ways in which comics affect student learning in undergraduate math courses, specifically in first-year linear algebra. Students had access to eight comics, posted roughly each week during the term. The survey data collected shows that the majority of respondents reported a better understanding of the material after reading the comics and that the comics had a positive impact on their engagement, attitude, motivation, and overall understanding.
