Application of Computer-Aided Instruction (CAI) in the Physical Education: Survey Analysis of Chinese Universities.

With the advent of artificial intelligence, computer-aided instruction has developed into intelligent computer-aided instruction. Computer-aided instruction not only overcomes many weaknesses of traditional physical education teaching but also significantly increases the teaching effect and efficiency. This article first studies and analyzes the characteristics of computer-aided instruction systems. Then, we use statistical methods and logical analysis to randomly select two classes of undergraduate students as the experimental and control group, respectively. In the control group, the traditional teaching model was adopted, while the experimental group adopted the computer-aided teaching mode. The experimental group showed significant improvement in physical education as compared to the control group. The results of this study validated that the use of computer-assisted instruction is beneficial in the implementation of physical education programs, mostly in teaching concepts and principles of academic nature.

Personality preference influences medical student use of specific computer-aided instruction (CAI)

BackgroundThe objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that personality preference, which can be related to learning style, influences individual utilization of CAI applications developed specifically for the undergraduate medical curriculum.MethodsPersonality preferences of students were obtained using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) test. CAI utilization for individual students was collected from entry logs for two different web-based applications (a discussion forum and a tutorial) used in the basic science course on human anatomy. Individual login data were sorted by personality preference and the data statistically analyzed by 2-way mixed ANOVA and correlation.ResultsThere was a wide discrepancy in the level and pattern of student use of both CAI. Although individual use of both CAI was positively correlated irrespective of MBTI preference, students with a "Sensing" preference tended to use both CAI applications more than the "iNtuitives". Differences in the level of use of these CAI applications (i.e., higher use of discussion forum vs. a tutorial) were also found for the "Perceiving/Judging" dimension.ConclusionWe conclude that personality/learning preferences of individual students influence their use of CAI in the medical curriculum.

Criteria for evaluating CAI applications

This paper introduces novel criteria for evaluating computer-aided instruction (CAI) applications. The criteria are based on the character of the teaching subject, human learning theories, and research on user interfaces. The criteria consist of four types of requirements: subject domain, instructional, user interface design, and pragmatic matters. A practical analysis method based on the criteria is also introduced. In this paper the subject domain criteria are based on the discipline of computer science, though the criteria are applicable to other domains too.

Computer-aided instruction as part of a management information system.

This paper discusses the application of computer-aided instruction as part of a management information system. The computer presents displays which instruct the student on-line to exercise control of the computer system using a typewriter or a lightpen located at the console work station.
