Assess-Discuss-Assess (ADA) Technique for Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers Licensure Preparation

Abstract This study examined the effectiveness of the researcher-proposed Assess–Discuss–Assess (ADA) technique as a learning enhancement strategy in College Algebra for pre-service mathematics teachers. The ADA technique is a theory-based educational approach that integrates assessment for learning, social construction of knowledge, and cognitive reinforcement into a unified process. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest parallel group design was employed with 60 fourth-year BSEd Mathematics students, equally divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught using the ADA intervention, while the control group underwent traditional lecture-based review. A researcher-made 50-item College Algebra test served as the instrument which underwent content validation by three math instructors, pilot testing for item clarity, and reliability checking via internal consistency. With data analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, and independent sample t-tests, findings showed significant improvements in both groups, but the experimental group achieved higher mean gains and more consistent performance. Results affirm the ADA technique’s effectiveness in strengthening mastery and enhancing LET readiness.
