Rubi Rose Polk DizonIII-BSITE
COMPUTER-ASSISTED
INSTRUCTION (CAI) is a
program of instructional
material presented by means of
a computer or computer
systems.
• The use of computers
in education started in the
1960s. With the advent of
convenient microcomputers in
the 1970s, computer use in
schools has become widespread
from primary education
through the university level and
even in some preschool
programs.
Instructional
computers are
basically used in one
of two ways: either
they provide a
straightforward
presentation of data or
they fill a tutorial role
in which the student is
tested on
comprehension.
CAI can be applied to all
ages and forms of educations,
from preschool to
professional school and even
in many employment areas.
It can be used in a wide
range of fields, including all
the main disciplines in
elementary and secondary
school. CAI is also applied in
the training of nurses, jet
engine mechanics, food
service workers, law students
and many more.
As the use of CAI varies
depending on the target
group and subject, CAI
programs never follow a
single theoretical model of
instruction. In many of them
the instruction is organized
as interaction between a
student and a teacher. Other
programs seek to create an
engaging and motivating
environment in a drive to
encourage the learning
process.
CAI programs are
developed to offer a
specific kind of student
interaction with the
computer screen. For
CAI developers the
computer screen
represents a
programmable
interactive
communications medium.
to provide a rich
diversity of environments
and problems.
To achieve that the
programs developed for
a single course may
differ drastically in their
goals, tasks and style.
requires to have
significant experience in
the computer medium.
CAI’s Objectives:
it boosts the students'
interest in a given task.
It is easier for a person
to integrate new
information if his or her
name or some other
familiar contexts appear
in a problem.
It can also create a
positive perspective on
lifelong leaning
CAI’s Advantages:
lifts up the student's
motivation as it
provides him or her
with a more challenging
and stimulating context
than conventional
teaching methods.
(Increased motivation
may lead to personal
satisfaction and the
feeling of challenge).
CAI’s Advantages:
In some applications,
especially those involving
abstract reasoning and
problem-solving
processes, CAI has not
been very effective.
the difficulty and
expense of implementing
and maintaining the
necessary computer
systems.
CAI’s Disadvantages:
In our generation today,
computers help us in
many ways. It’s either
with our school stuffs or
with our works. It
makes things a lot more
easier. Especially in
teaching. It helps the
students understand or
visualize objects that are
difficult/impossible to
view.
In a Nutshell:
Thank you!
