The general aim of this study is to determine the effects of teaching method based on digital storytelling on students' learning and study strategies. In this study, as one of the true experimental models, pre-test/post-test control group experimental design was used via detachedly selected experiment and control groups. In the study, a teaching…

This study aimed to develop teacher guide material for students who are uninterested in physics lessons in high schools. In this context, activities in which measurements are made with Logger Pro sensors, which are computer-applied with the innovative technology in 10th-grade optics subjects, have been developed. The study was carried out with 134…

This paper reports on the development of constructive EAP CALL courseware, and its integration into blended learning contexts, as a solution to the problems in EAP courses in Chinese universities. A case study of a defining skills package, developed for undergraduates at the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB), is used to…

The aim of this research is to examine digital learning materials designed by pre-service mathematics teachers with GeoGebra software through rubrics. This research was conducted using the integrative mixed method design, which allows the use of qualitative and quantitative methods together or sequentially.

This literature review deals with the problem of attitudes about computer-assisted instruction (CAI) from the viewpoint of four distinct populations--student, instructor, lesson author, and administrator. Twenty-one references are listed. (Author/MER)

Describes the use of concept mapping as a tool to gather data about student misconceptions. Student concept maps are used to inform the design/development of an innovative, simple-to-use, computer-based learning tool which may be incorporated into online courseware. The interactive grouping tool is designed to allow students to construct their own…

Describes the development of basic information technology training material and its delivery to the workforce in the rural community of Shropshire by the University of Wolverhampton (United Kingdom). Discusses the various technological problems and analyzes feedback from the students accessing the material. (Author/LRW)

Describes a program in which two-year college faculty were trained to program computers, the materials the faculty developed, and student reactions to these programs and to the computer assisted instructional strategy used. Indicates that faculty can learn to program and that orientation is needed to reduce student anxiety toward…

Discussion of interactive video for educational purposes focuses on the development of a video-supported active learning (VISUAL) resource on voice disorders that used digitized video and an Apple Macintosh computer. User evaluations are reported, and potential applications for VISUAL resources are suggested. (Contains five references.) (LRW)

This investigation of the effect of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) on the performance of elementary students in the area of language arts skills compared the performance of students receiving CAI with that of students receiving only regular classroom instruction. Two software programs were created for use in the study. Word Breaker, designed…

The goals of this study were to understand the expectations of both designers and teachers for the design and use of packages that integrate computer and television technologies, and to investigate the implementation of these packages in the classroom. Interviews were conducted with eight designers of "The Voyage of the Mimi" (MIMI), a…

Discusses the findings of four studies that examined the use of microcomputers in special education classrooms. Surveys, interviews, and observations were used to discover software currently in use with handicapped learners, the instructional design limitations of software, and the potential impact of computer-assisted instruction on handicapped…
