The current study assessed the effectiveness of interactive computer-assisted instruction software in reducing subsequent errors in scoring the WISC–III. Errors in scoring from 84 protocols of graduate students presented with this software simulation as part of their initial training were compared with errors in scoring from 77 protocols of graduate students without such training. These were different sets of students matched for amount of training and differing in having the training component. Protocols from the former group contained significantly fewer errors of correct assignment of points, failure to question when specified to do so, and over-all total number of errors. Mechanical errors, conversion errors, and errors establishing correct starting and stopping points (basal and ceiling points) were not significant. The results support the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction when used in conjunction with classroom training.

This study focused on the specific questions: Do significant differences exist in the preference for CAI between male and female students? Do significant differences exist in the preference for CAI between undergraduate and graduate students (academic status)? And does an interaction exist between gender and academic status? Seventy-six students ( N = 76) were randomly selected to answer the questionnaire. Analyses of variance (at the .05 level) showed graduate students favor CAI more than do undergraduate students, probably because they have jobs and need to study using CAI at a more convenient time and place. This result confirms the assumption that graduate students have more computer experiences. Since computer literacy increases as time passes, the chance of “give CAI a try” becomes higher. In technologically sophisticated societies of today, the option of mixing CAI and traditional lectures must be the key to the success of any institution of higher education.

Abstract:This paper describes an intelligent computer-assisted instruction system that was designed for rural health workers in developing countries. This system, called Consult-EAO, includes an expert module and a coaching module. The expert module, which is derived from the knowledge-based decision support system Tropicaid, covers most of medical practice in developing countries. It allows for the creation of outpatient simulations without the help of a teacher. The student may practice his knowledge by solving problems with these simulations. The system gives some initial facts and controls the simulation during the session by guiding the student toward the most efficient decisions. All student answers are analyzed and, if necessary, criticized. The messages are adapted to the situation due to the pedagogical rules of the coaching module. This system runs on PC-compatible computer.
