Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a computerized study guide in reinforcing the macroeconomic concepts taught in the classroom. The paper discusses the design of the software, its testing in the field, and a statistical analysis of its effects on learning and retention. The results suggest that when gender and GPA are taken into account, this form of CAI significantly improves the comprehension of complex economic concepts.
