Description

ABSTRACT The ASU SIFE Team developed a program that was funded by a grant from the Horizon Institute of Technology. This program offered 32 at-risk students from two Arkansas delta school districts, Newport and South Mississippi Co. an opportunity to explore the role of technology in a free market economic system and to motivate them to pursue careers in the areas of math, science, business, entrepreneurship and technology. We examined the results to determine the effectiveness of the program using raw data, standard regression analysis and loglinear models and determine the significance of 8 factors on success in the program; gender, race, parental income, access to home computer, mother and father's education level, hours of computer use at school, hours of play on computer video games as dependent variables, and school district. The independent variable was the score on the MAME Standardized Test. Of the factors tested on success in the program; race, parental income, mother's educational level access to a computer at home, hours of computer use at school, and hours of play on computer video games were all significant at the .01 level. Only gender and father's educational level were not significant at the .01 level of significance.
