Journal Title: International Journal of Mathematics and Statistics Invention - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In the present times, students are more comfortable with texting than checking their email. This is because texting is more immediate then the emailing. In this paper, I will examine the use of texting for homework submission and the features that were effective. The experiment on the effects of βtextingβ was conducted in the spring and fall of 2014 in two courses on Mathematics βone was on Elementary Algebra and other on Calculus I. Throughout the semester, students were constantly reminded about the homework they were required to submit using the texting technology. A separate contact group was created in Microsoft Outlook for each class and the student used their cellphones to send text messages in the form of emails. One section of Elementary Algebra and one section of Calculus I were experiment groups and another section of Elementary Algebra and Calculus I were the control groups. The results showed that the rate of on-time homework submission in the Elementary Algebra class for the experimental group is thrice as that of the control group. In the case of experimental group of Calculus I, it is twice the rate of the control group.
