This presentation explores students’ pre- and post-attitudes towards an Emporium-designed developmental math course; the relationship between students’ attitudes and performance; and the effect of gender on performance and attitude. Results indicate a significant difference in some elements of attitude. However, there is no significant relationship between post-attitude and performance.
The delivery method will be a power-point presentation. The presenter will distribute handouts to the session attendees. The researcher will encourage the conference attendees to reflect on their instructional practices, especially using Emporium model and exchange valuable information about how positive attitudes may benefit better learning outcome.
