Abstract


The paramount focus of the research study was to examine the effectiveness of the developed CAI-mediated CalTech (Calculator Techniques) Exercises Manual as an Intervention in Teaching Basic Calculus. The developed exercises manual was validated by experts in the field of mathematics and mathematics education who served as well as the study's respondents with the adopted instrument for validation. As results were obtained, the developed exercises manual was found perfectly acceptable and was suited to improve the learning competence of the STEM students in learning Basic Calculus. The results were perfectly acceptable in all its components for validation: objectives, content, presentation, usability, and consistency. The content was relevant, the presentation was clear and easy to understand, the manual was user-friendly, and the overall consistency was maintained. In conclusion, the developed CAI-mediated CalTech (Calculator Techniques) Exercises Manual as an Intervention in Teaching Basic Calculus was a valuable resource for STEM students and was deemed entirely suitable and appropriate to improve and enhance their learning performance.
