Educational Technology has made a significant contribution to education by taking into consideration the individual differences of learners and catering to their needs. The emerging trend the world over is towards more individualized and flexible forms of learning with an emphasis on individualized methods of instruction. This paper is based on an experiment to study the effect of a new teaching methodology i.e. Computer Assisted Instruction Technique (CAI) in comparison to Conventional Teaching (CT) on the achievement of pupil teachers in methods of teaching English language. In this study, instructional material was developed for both methods of instructions i.e. CAI as well as for Conventional Teaching (CT). The instructional material for both the methods was developed and validated by the researcher. The experiment was carried out on the pupil teachers of B.Ed. class of a College of Education. Pretest- Posttest Control Group design was used. Results of the experiment showed that CAI was found effective in terms of the achievement of pupil teachers in methods of teaching English language at post-test stage. However, no significant difference was found to exist between the experimental group and control group at the pretest stage.

This study assessed the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction in teaching tennis rules and strategies. The subjects were enrolled in two beginning tennis classes at The Pennsylvania State University. The control group (n=24) received instruction by traditional means. The experimental group (n=19) received no instruction on tennis rules and strategies during regular class periods but did interact with computer-assisted tutorials during two scheduled classes. A written test was used to measure learning and was administered during pretest, posttest, and retest. A two-factor analysis of variance with repeated measures on one factor (ANOVR) was employed to determine significant differences between mean performances. The between-groups analysis and the interaction analysis were not significant, but the within-group analysis revealed an F ratio of 99.72 (p<.001). It was concluded that both groups learned tennis rules and strategies significantly from the pretest to the posttest, their learning performance on the retest differed significantly from pretest administration but not from posttest to the retest, and there was no significant difference between the performance of either group on all three testing occasions.

The purpose of this study was to conduct formative and summative evaluation for Computer Integrated Instruction (CII), an alternative use of CAI. The Non-Equivalent Control Group, Pretest-Posttest Design was implemented with the class as the unit of analysis. Several of the instruments were adopted from existing computer-assisted instruction (CAI) evaluation studies, while some had to be developed specifically for this study. The findings were 1) that the teachers were reluctant users of the CII materials and 2) that there was a significant difference for mathematics achievement favoring the control group. A recommended model of separate, sequential formative and summative evaluations resulted from this study.

The Given

In conventional learning, teachers frequently face difficulties to deliver their materials due to limited time and practical materials in teaching network computer. Conventional teaching process, especially practical materials, has still not yet been optimal. Thus, computer and multimedia based learning is required to help the students. Besides it can reduce costs in practical materials procurement, the students can absorb the given knowledge well without thinking of the costs to buy the practical materials. Computer Assisted Instruction Method can present the learning using various media either by picture or video that can assist the effective learning process and simplify the students to manage the learning speed since it is combined with the multimedia. By doing this, the students can practice the lesson materials, study whenever and wherever they want. Compuer learning application prioritize user interface, user friendly, which can make the students be diligent and passionate in learning.

English is considered as a universal and global language. It serves as a bridge between different cultures and countries. Owing to its great importance research studies are being carried out across the world in order to find out the best ways of teaching English Language at earlier stages of schooling. One such identified way is balanced literacy. This is a systematic approach towards teaching English not as a subject but as a language. This study was conducted to see the effect of technology infused balanced literacy approach on the learning skills and engagement level of English learners in context of Pakistani schools where English is taught as a second Language. An intervention of six weeks was carried out. During the study the conventional teaching methodology of English was also observed. The results of the study suggest the use of balanced literacy for improvement of reading skills.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship in achievement gap between English language learners (ELLs) utilizing computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in the classroom, and ELLs relying solely on traditional classroom instruction. The study findings showed that students using CAI to supplement traditional lectures performed better than the students relying solely on traditional classroom instruction. In addition, using CAI to supplement traditional lectures helped the charter schools to close the educational achievement gap of their students. Based on the findings, there is need for teachers to move past traditional learning, and learn new technology skills in order to incorporate sound technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support student learning.

Drill And Practice

Three conditions of administration of drill-and-practice computer-assisted instruction were studied: CAI lessons coordinated with formal classroom instruction, CAI with reinforcement for good performance, and CAI alone. Seventy-seven grade 4 to 8 remedial students studied reading; 124 studied math. All three groups gained in achievement. In reading, the reinforcement condition was most effective, with no significant difference between CAI with coordinated instruction and CAI alone. In math, CAI with coordinated instruction was most effective, with no significant difference between CAI with reinforcement and CAI alone. It was concluded that type of administration affects CAI effectiveness, that motivation may strongly affect achievement in reading, and that formal instruction combined with CAI is essential for conceptual understanding in mathematics.

Community Living Skills

An experiment was carried out in which adults with a learning disability of the mild type undertook either computer-assisted or teacher-implemented instruction in community living skills, with a third group acting as a control group. All groups were pre-tested on a standardised psychometric measure of community living skills (the HANC 2 subscale of the Hampshire Assessment for Living with Others test), after which the experimental groups received one half-day per week training in such skills as money handling and budgeting for 3 months, when all groups were reassessed. It was found that both the teacher-led and computer-assisted instruction groups appeared to gain more than the control group, but only the teacher-led group differed significantly from the control group. The computer-assisted group improved in their scores by an intermediate amount, with their gains being non-significantly different from either the control or the teacher-led groups. The strengths and weaknesses of the software used in the study are discussed.
