Description
Summary:This study is an attempt to estimate the change in proficiency levels of students who went through an enrichment program in Additional Mathematics. The test items used were classified by hierarchies modeled after the taxonomy, the Structure of the Observed Learning Outcome, often referred to as SOLO taxonomy. The estimation was done using a four-group pretest-treatment-posttest counter-balance design. The tests were administered in two modes, the paper-and-pencil mode and the computer mode so as to establish comparability of modes of testing.
