The Role of Computer-Assisted Instruction in the Teaching of Probability

Bu calisma, bilgisayar destekli ogretimin (BDO) ogrencilerin olasilik kavramlarini ogrenmelerine etkisini arastirmayi amaclamaktadir. Bu kapsamda gelistirilen Olasilik Basari Testi kontrol gruplu arastirma tasarimi ile deney oncesi ve sonrasi deney ve kontrol grubundan 48 yedinci sinif ogrencisine uygulanmistir. Veriler, kovaryant olarak bir on test alindiktan sonra puanlar uzerinde bir kovaryans analizi (ANCOVA) yapilarak etki boyutu degerleri hesaplanarak analiz edilmistir. Sonuclar bilgisayar destekli ogretimin geleneksel ogretime kiyasla ogrencilerin olasilik kavramlarini gelistirmelerinde daha etkili oldugunu ortaya koymustur. Bu arastirma, ozellikle olasiligin ogretilmesi icin tasarlanan bilgisayar destekli ogretim etkinliklerinin, ogrencilerin matematikteki kavramsal anlamalarini gelistirmeleri icin guclu ve faydali oldugu ve etkili ogretim icin daha iyi bir yol olabilecegi soylenebilir.

Promoting Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation among Chemistry Students using Computer-Assisted Instruction

The role of computer-assisted instruction in promoting intrinsic and extrinsic motivation among Nigerian secondary school chemistry students was investigated in this study. The study employed two modes of computer-assisted instruction (computer simulation instruction and computer tutorial instructional packages) and two levels of gender (male and female) using pretest-posttest experimental group design. Ninety (45 males and 45 females) senior secondary one (SS1) students from three secondary schools in Minna, Nigeria, made up the sample. The schools were purposively sampled and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The Experimental Group I was taught two selected concepts of chemistry using computer simulation instructional package (CSIP), Experimental Group II was exposed to computer tutorial Instructional package (CTIP) while conventional teaching method (CTM) was used for the Control Group. Validated Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) and Chemistry Motivation Questionnaire (CMQ) with reliability coefficient of 0.89 and 0.94 respectively were used for data collection. Classroom observations as well as interview schedules were also conducted. Data from CAT and CTM were analyzed using One-way ANOVA and Scheffe’s post-hoc test, while the data from the classroom observations and interview schedules were thematically analyzed. The outcome of this study revealed that students taught with CSIP performed better than those in CTIP and CTM groups. The CSIP and CTIP were found also to be gender friendly. Moreover, students taught with CSIP had higher intrinsic and extrinsic motivation than their counterparts in CTIP and CTM respectively. Based on the findings, it was recommended that chemistry teachers should employ computer simulation for improving their students’ performance and motivation in the subject.

Impact of Computer-Assisted Instruction in Hydrogeology on Critical-Thinking Skills

Although studies demonstrate that computer-assisted instruction (CAI) can be effective for enhancing basic cognitive skills such as rote memory, the role of CAI in developing higher-order critical-thinking skills such as problem solving remains uncertain. Using principles from cognitive psychology, the impact of a hydrogeological CAI laboratory on student problem-solving skills is assessed. Problem-solving skill is measured by statistical analyses of the ability to transfer concepts across disciplinary domains. Results suggest that in comparison to traditional instruction, the CAI laboratory focuses student attention on fundamental principles and is effective in developing problem-solving skills, particularly for students with stronger backgrounds in math and science.
