The Potency of Using Math Educational Software in Teaching Business Mathematics Courses

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using math educational software in the academic achievement and attitude of the learners in a business mathematics course. The experimental research design was used particularly the pre-test post-test control group design. The experimental group was exposed to math educational software namely, the QM for Windows while the control group was taught using the traditional teaching approach. The results of the study showed that the experimental group performed better in academic achievement and showed a higher positive attitude towards the course than the control group. Hence, educational software is effective and has a positive impact on the academic achievement of the learners in business mathematics as well as their attitude toward the course.
