Abstract

Computer-assisted instruction is a new type of educational model that integrates with modern technology and pedagogy. This paper, aiming at application of this model, devises a constructivism-based platform on the premise of investigations on the constructivism theory and the integrableware idea, using comparative analysis, case analysis, for example, the Computer Graphics, and literature investigation, etc. It is proved after each module is designed and implemented on the platform that this instruction platform is more effective in the application. It has filled in the gap of current computer-assisted instruction system in poor universality, etc., better serves the computer-assisted instruction, thus greatly propell the development of current education causes.

Highlights

  • As computers and Internet grow in popularity, Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI), as an educational technology integrating many disciplines such as computer science, pedagogy and psychology, has gradually become an essential method for modern instruction [1]

  • In 1963, there was a computer assisted instruction system developed for university education, which surfed the worldwide study of this topic

  • To better solve the above problems and drive the development of computer assisted instruction, this paper develops a constructivism-based computer assisted instruction platform based on the integrableware idea, which has been proven by a study case, i.e. the Computer Graphics, to have a good application value and better serve the computer assisted instruction

Summary

Introduction

As computers and Internet grow in popularity, Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI), as an educational technology integrating many disciplines such as computer science, pedagogy and psychology, has gradually become an essential method for modern instruction [1]. What we can learn from these historical data is that the study and the application of computer assisted instruction in various countries in the world have made tremendous development in the past 50 years, while a comparative analysis shows that there is still a wide gap in this field due to the poor universality of relevant software which has restricted its widespread application in the education industry, as well as the disengagement between the content of curses and the reality since these curriculums were designed merely based on cognitivism and behaviorism, and etc. This paper includes four parts around the application and investigation of computer assisted instruction system: Part 1 describes the development and enumerates existing problems of computer assisted instruction at home and abroad, and comes up with the key idea; Part 2 describes the constructivist theory and the integrableware idea required for the construction of the constructivism-based computer assisted instruction system platform, which provides a theoretical basis for architecture and implementation of this platform. The part 4 gives a summary on the results concluded in this paper
