Page: 767
This study investigates the effects of using spreadsheets in Business Calculus. Both the computer and non-computer sections were taught using reformed curricula that focused on business applications, the use of realistic data sets, and conceptual understanding. This study compares student attitudes towards mathematics in both spreadsheet and non-spreadsheet sections as measured by pre- and post- surveys, student interviews, and examination data.
