All participants selected scored below the 40th percentile on the "Preschool Language…

A meta-analysis was performed to synthesize existing research comparing the effects of computer applications (i.e., computer-assisted instruction, computer simulations, and Web-based learning) versus traditional instruction on elementary school students' achievement in Taiwan. Forty-eight studies were located from four sources, and their…

Research reports issued during the last decade and a half on the effectiveness of computer-based education (CBE) are examined. Surveys of research on CBE over this time period are considered rather than individual studies. Thus, this report represents a synthesis of a number of review articles which provide snapshots across two decades of the kind…

Examines whether the use of computers is more efficient than traditional methodology in terms of time and cost in reaching goals related to: (1) vocabulary; (2) concepts of disease processes; (3) specific organ system pathology; (4) disease morphology; and (5) laboratory testing. (JN)

A series of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) lessons were written for use by students enrolled in a methods course in social studies education at the University of Iowa. Lessons provide instruction in the Flanders Interaction Analysis method which makes classroom verbal communication more effective. An interaction module was designed to help…

A study sought to develop and evaluate an instructional model which utilized the computer to produce individually prescribed instructional guides to account for the idiosyncratic variations among students in physics classes at the secondary school level. The students in the treatment groups were oriented toward the practices of selecting…

Presented in this report is an extension of the feasibility and follow-up studies on computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in the U.S. Army's Basic Electronic Training Course. The report is oriented toward demonstrating the viability of CAI coping with a large block (102 hours) of material under real-time training conditions. This evaluation is a…

Five PLATO exercises on linear decision models were developed to investigate the feasibility of teaching material from operations research on the PLATO computer-based education system. The exercises were administered to business administration students enrolled in an introductory course in operations research. Each PLATO session was monitored to…
