Study Notes
Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI)
- CAI can refer to the use of computers by school staff to organize student data and make instructional decisions, or to activities in which the computer evaluates students' test performance, guides them to appropriate instructional resources, and keeps records of their progress.
Types of Computer-Assisted Instruction
- Computer-Managed Instruction (CMI): uses computers to organize student data and make instructional decisions
- Computer-Enriched Instruction (CEI): provides learning activities that generate data, execute student-developed programs, or provide general enrichment in unstructured exercises
- Informational Instruction: provides learners with the desired information, serving as an enquiry officer to respond to students' enquiries
- Drill and Practice: provides opportunities for students to repeatedly practice skills, helping to develop a variety of skills
- Tutorial: presents information and extends it into different forms of work, including drill and practice, games, and simulation
- Games: provides intellectual challenge, stimulation of curiosity, and motivation to individual learners
- Simulation: provides an approximation of reality, allowing students to get clear direction and maintain high levels of interest
- Discovery: provides a large database of information, challenging learners to analyze, compare, infer, and evaluate
- Problem Solving: focuses on the process of finding answers to problems, helping students develop specific problem-solving skills and strategies
Advantages of CAI
- One-to-one interaction
- Great motivator
- Freedom to experiment with different options
- Instantaneous response and feedback
- Self-pacing allows students to proceed at their own pace
- Privacy helps shy and slow learners
- Learn more rapidly
- Multimedia helps understand difficult concepts
- Self-directed learning
Limitations of CAI
- Overwhelmed by information and resources
- Overuse of multimedia may divert attention from content
- Learning becomes too mechanical
- Non-availability of good CAI packages
- Lack of infrastructure
