A Study of On-Line Lesson Structure and Student Learning Styles While Interacting with Computer-Assisted-Instruction (CAI)

Objective – The objective of this study was twofold: 1) to assess the effectiveness of curriculum changes made from the 2009 freshman English library instruction curriculum to the 2010 curriculum at Loyola Marymount University (LMU); and 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of library instruction delivered via a “blended” combination of face-to-face and online instruction versus online instruction alone. Methods – An experimental design compared random samples of student scores from 2009 and 2010 worksheets to determine the effects of a new curriculum on student learning. A second experiment examined the effect of delivery method on student learning by comparing scores from a group of students receiving only online instruction against a group receiving blended instruction. Results – The first component of the study, which compared scores between 2009 and 2010 to examine the effects of the curriculum revisions, had mixed results. Students scored a significantly higher mean in 2010 on completing and correctly listing book citation components than in 2009, but a significantly lower mean on constructing a research question. There was a significant difference in the distribution of scores for understanding differences between information found on the Internet versus through the Library that was better in 2010 than 2009, but worse for narrowing a broad research topic. For the study that examined computer aided instruction, the group of students receiving only computer-assisted instruction did significantly better overall than the group receiving blended instruction. When separate tests were run for each skill, two particular skills, generating keywords and completing book citation and location elements, resulted in a significantly higher mean. Conclusions – The comparison of scores between 2009 and 2010 were mixed, but the evaluation process helped us identify continued problems in the teaching materials to address in the next cycle of revisions. The second part of the study supports the idea that computer-assisted instruction is equally or more effective than blended instruction.

Penelitian ini untuk mengetahui perbedaan hasil belajar KKPI antara siswa yang diajar dengan metode pembelajaran Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) format drills dengan siswa yang diajar dengan metode pembelajaran demonstrasi ditinjau dari motivasi belajar siswa. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen semu. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 63 siswa, yang terdiri dari 31 siswa kelas eksperimen dengan diberikan perlakuan metode pembelajaran CAI format drills dan 32 siswa kelas kontrol dengan diberikan perlakuan metode pembelajaran demonstrasi. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis varians (ANAVA). Hasil penelitian 1) terdapat perbedaan hasil belajar KKPI antara siswa yang diajar dengan metode pembelajaran CAI format drills dengan siswa yang diajar dengan metode pembelajaran demonstrasi; (2) tidak terdapat interaksi antara metode pembelajaran CAI format drills dan metode pembelajaran demonstrasi dengan motivasi belajar terhadap hasil belajar KKPI siswa; (3) terdapat perbedaan hasil belajar KKPI antara siswa yang diajar dengan metode pembelajaran CAI format drills dengan siswa yang diajar dengan metode pembelajaran demonstrasi ditinjau dari siswa yang memiliki motivasi tinggi; 4) terdapat perbedaan hasil belajar KKPI antara siswa yang diajar dengan metode pembelajaran CAI format drills dengan siswa yang diajar dengan metode pembelajaran demonstrasi ditinjau dari siswa yang memiliki motivasi rendah. THE EFFECT OF DRILLS INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD ON LEARNING OUTCOME VIEWED FROM STUDENT LEARNING MOTIVATION IN SMKN 1 SEYEGANAbstractThis research aims to find out the differences in learning KKPI outcomes between students who are taught using Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) format drills method and those taught using the demonstration method in terms of students’ learning motivation. This research is a quasi experimental. The subjects were 63 students, consisting of 31 students in the experiment class using CAI format drills method and 32 students in the control class using demonstration method. Data analyze techniques used the analysis of variances (ANOVA). The result of this research: (1) There are differences in learning KKPI outcomes between the students who are taught using CAI format drills method and those taught using the demonstration method. (2) There is no interaction between CAI format drills method and demonstration method and the students’ motivation on their learning KKPI outcomes. (3) There are differences in learning KKPI outcomes between the students who are taught using CAI format drills method and those taught using the demonstration method in terms of the high motivation of students. (4) There are differences in learning KKPI outcomes between students who are taught using CAI format drills method and those taught using the demonstration teaching method seen from the low motivation of the students.
