Winecon: An Evaluation
评估了1995年发布的WinEcon计算机辅助学习软件对莱斯特大学240名微观经济学学生考试成绩的影响,发现定向使用该软件能小幅但显著提高成绩,有助于提升课程通过率。
This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the WinEcon computer‐based learning (CBL) software released into the academic community in September 1995. The focus of the paper is the impact of continued and directed WinEcon use on students’ learning as measured by their examination results. The subjects of the study were the 240 Leicester University students enrolled on the 1995/96 introductory microeconomics course who were categorised by their use of WinEcon. Using traditional regression and decomposition techniques, we show that directed use of WinEcon can enhance exam performance by a small but significant proportion, enough to improve the pass rate of the overall course.
