Abstract
This study examines the effect of the usage of graphing calculators on Black Females' mathematics achievement on the 12th grade National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). This non-experimental research study will analyze the 2015 NAEP publicly available data set, using the twelfth-grade sample, examining their overall math achievement compared to graphing calculator usage, race, gender, and socioeconomic status.
Four regressions will be used to analyze factors created from the twelfth-grade NAEP student surveys, with test results as the dependent variable. The regressions will use race, gender, socioeconomic status., and graphing calculator usage in the classroom as independent variables, and the NAEP results as results of the regression analysis will be used to evaluate the predictive power of the model.
Previous. studies on mathematics achievement have used only 4th and 8th-grade data. This investigation will contribute to the body of research by investigating the 12th-grade NAEP results.
