Sinclair, Kelsey J.; Renshaw, Carl E.; Taylor, Holly A. – Computers and Education, 2004
Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) has been shown to enhance rote memory skills and improve higher order critical thinking skills. The challenge now is to identify what aspects of CAI improve which specific higher-order skills. This study focuses on the effectiveness of using CAI to teach logarithmic graphing and dimensional analysis. Two groups…
