This study investigated: (1) the effectiveness of computer coaching to improve SAT scores and (2) whether or not there is a difference between the effectiveness of computer coaching when implemented individually or in a small (3 to 4) group process which allowed peer interaction. A posttest-only control group design was used. The difference in posttest scores of the two treatement groups and the uncoached control group was used to determine the effects of coaching. The 93 subjects were 9th, 10th, and 11th grade geometry students at a high school in Santa Rosa County, Florida. Significant differences in means were found in the following: (1) Mathematics computer coaching to improve SAT scores based on a strategy of individual computer usage. (2) Mathematics computer coaching to improve SAT scores based on a strategy of small group (3 to 4) usage which allowed peer interaction within the group. (3) Verbal computer coaching to improve SAT scores based on a strategy of small group (3 to 4) usage which allowed for peer interaction within the group. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 45-09, Section: A, page: 2847. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.
