Using Computer Simulations With At-Risk Students

This project involved using a computer simulation to involve students in developing their mathematical skills. The population was students who were at risk of failing their other mathematics courses. The results showed that teacher observation and intervention are essential to the development of effective learning groups. This process may be enhanced by the use of
well-designed computer software simulations. This use of technology encourages student interaction, is motivating, generates a more positive attitude toward school, and optimizes student performance.
