The study examined the comparison of the performance of the students in College Algebra between those who were exposed to CAI, cooperative learning and conventional strategy. It also compared the performance of students in College Algebra who were taught using the three teaching strategies and when grouped according to their mathematical ability. It further investigated the interaction effect on the achievement of students when they are exposed using the three teaching strategies and when grouped according to their mathematical ability.The posttest results were analyzed for the students’ performance in selected topics in College Algebra. The Two– Way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), means and standard deviation were the statistical tools employed to analyze the data. The findings of the study had revealed that the subjects in the conventional group had shown high performance in their posttest mean score. It also revealed that there is a significant difference in the students’ performance in selected topics in College Algebra when taught using three teaching strategies. The findings also showed that there is no significant difference in the achievement of students when taught using three teaching strategies and when grouped according to their mathematical ability. Furthermore, it has shown that there is a significant interaction effect in the achievement of students when taught using the three teaching strategies and when grouped according to their mathematical ability. In view of the findings, it is recommended that Conventional Strategy of teaching shall be used by the instructors in teaching College Algebra.Refference:
