Poster Title: ALEKS Usage and Mathematical Achievement Gaps in Ninth-Grade Students: A Quantitative Analysis
Abstract:
This study will examine the relationship of using ALEKS in ninth-grade mathematics learning on pre-existing achievement gaps shown in algebra one honors and geometry honors students. This is an important area to look at because achievement gaps in mathematics become noticeable when large groups of students come from varying mathematical backgrounds and abilities in their transition to high school. This study will employ a multivariate regression analysis using SPSS. Deidentified data from a charter high school will be used. The goal of this research is to help contribute to the field of mathematics education by looking at the impact of using AI-enhanced interventions like ALEKS on achievement gaps in ninth-grade mathematics students.​
