Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of a treatment designed to improve college algebra students’ attitudes toward mathematics. Keller’s ARCS model was used as a guiding framework for the development of a motivational video delivered online. A pretest-posttest control group design was used to test the effectiveness of the treatment. The participants in this study were 43 students enrolled in a college algebra and trigonometry course offered at a large state university in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States during the fall of 2008. Statistically significant results were observed for enhanced attitude toward mathematics.
