Abstract

Nowadays prevalent learning theories state that in the study process the learner is actively involved in constructing and reconstructing his/her knowledge base. This conclusion is reflected in modern approaches to teaching that have abandoned viewing the learner as an ‘empty box’ into which knowledge could be poured, and stress the active role of the learner and the importance of his/her foreknowledge. Some forms of Computer Assisted Instruction are well suited for this teaching approach. The use of hypertext-like systems, in which learners are encouraged to explore a domain, is such an example. A second example of CAI that elicits exploratory behaviour is simulation-based learning.
