Abstract

the purpose of this review, computer assisted instruction (CAI) is de fined as the use of the computer for direct instruction of students. This includes four modes (drill-and-practice, problem-solving, simulation, and tutorial) but does not in clude computer managed instruction or the teaching of computer science. Only studies are included in which effectiveness was measured by student achievement as a result of CAI as compared with achievement result ing from other methods of instruction.
