Effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction During The Pandemic

This document discusses a study on the effectiveness of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) during the COVID-19 pandemic. CAI uses computers to support instruction through activities like presenting content and evaluating progress. The researchers aim to observe how well CAI works as a way to deliver education from a distance during the pandemic, when students cannot attend school in person. The goal is to determine whether CAI helps students learn better remotely and helps teachers teach better from a distance.

Effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction during the Pandemic

Introduction

Technology has influenced the daily life of many people in the twenty-

first century. From its emergence in the form of instructional systems (Pressey

1926; Skinner 1958) to the ever-evolving modes and platforms (Stephenson

and Limbrick 2015), teachers and scholars have examined the utility of

technology as a key function of action to improve academic skills. The modern

implementation of Computer-assisted instruction originates from the study of

psychologists of the early 20th century.

Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) has been described as a structured

approach to the creation of students ' skills and knowledge that use a

computer as a main component to support instruction through activities,

including, but not limited to, the presentation of content, evaluation of

progress and guidance (Anohina 2005). CAI is a component of technology-aided

teaching which is different from online, Internet, or other network learning, in

that CAI means that the program is local to the machine, not accessible

through the Internet.

Given its tremendous use in the education field, CAI can be a big help to

teachers, students, and even parents to get through these troubled educational

times because of the Covid-19 crisis. With regards to teaching and learning,

students of all ages cannot attend school, and educators and parents must

help them learn at home. This situation has transformed learning

tremendously. Thus, the aim of the researchers is to observe the effectiveness

of computer-assisted instruction as one modality of delivering education during

the pandemic. This will help students to learn best from a distance and help

teachers teach better from a distance.
