Abstract

Rate of students' participation in teaching and learning Abstract Algebra (AA) depends upon attitude towards AA and Students' success in AA depends upon rate of students' participation in teaching and learning of AA. Thus it is very important to improve students' attitude towards AA. This research was pre-experimental one shot case study design.
