The Computer As A Tutor (Autosaved)

The document discusses the computer as both a tutor and a teacher's tool. As a tutor, the computer can relieve some of the teacher's workload while delivering instruction, but cannot replace the teacher. It can provide drill and practice activities to reinforce learning. As a teacher's tool, the computer allows teachers to provide problem-solving and simulation programs that promote higher-order thinking. It also serves as an informative resource, communication platform, and tool for student creativity and collaboration.

The Computer as a Tutor

Computer as a Teacher’s Tool

1. The Computer as a
Tutor
The computer is one of the wonders
of human ingenuity, even in its
original design in the 1950s to carry
out complicated mathematical and
logical operations.
Computer Assisted Instruction

- The computer can be a tutor in effect


relieving the teacher of many activities in his/
her personal role as a classroom teacher.
- The computer cannot totally replace the
teacher since the teacher shall continue to
play the major roles of information deliverer
and learning environment controller.
The teacher must :

• Ensure that students have the needed


knowledge and skills for any computer
activity.
• Decide the appropriate learning objectives.
• Plan the sequential and structured activities to
achieve the objectives.
• Evaluate the student’s achievement by ways
Students in Computer- Assisted Instruction
play their own roles as learners as they:

Receive information
Understand the information for the computer
activity.
Retain/ keep in mind the information and rules
for the computer activity.
Apply the knowledge and rules during the
process of computer learning.
The computer plays its roles as it:

• Acts as a sort of tutor ( the role traditionally


played by the teachers )
• Provides a learning environment.
• Deliver learning instruction.
• Reinforces learning through drill and practice.
• Provides feedback
CAI Integration with
Lessons
• CAI computer learning should not stop with the
drill and practice activities of students.
• CAI works best in reinforcing learning through
repetitive exercises such that students can
practice basic skills or knowledge in various
subject areas.
CAI Integration with Lessons

• In these programs, the computer presents a


questions/ problem first and the students is asked
to answer the questions or problem.
• The immediate feedback or response are given to
the students answer.
When and how can teachers integrate drill and
practice programs with their lessons?
• Use drill and practice programs for basic skills
and knowledge that require rapid or automatic
response by students.
• Ensure that drill and practice activities conform
to the lesson plan and curriculum.
• Use drill and practice to assist students with
particular weaknesses in basic skills.
The tutorial software should be able to:
• Teach new content/ information on concepts in
addition to practice exercises.
• Provide comprehensive information on concepts in
addition to practice exercises.
• Can be effectively used for remediation,, reviewing or
enrichment.
• Allow the teacher to introduce follow up questions to
stimulate student’s learning.
• Permits group activity for cooperative learning.
Simulation programs
These are another kind of software that is
constructivist in nature.
These simulation software
• Teaches strategies and rules applied to real life
problems/ situations.
• Asks students to make decision on models or
scenarios.
• Allows students to manipulate elements of a model
and get the experience of the effects of their
decisions .
Instructional games
While relating to low- level learning objectives,
instructional computer games add the elements
of competition and challenge.
Problem- solving software
These are more sophisticated than the drills and
practice exercises and allows student to learn and
improve on their problem- solving ability.
Since problems cannot solved simply by memorizing
facts, the students have to employ higher thinking
skills such as logic, recognition, reflection and
strategy-making.
Multimedia Encyclopedia and Electronic
Books

• Multimedia Encyclopedia can store a huge database


with texts, images, animations, audio and video.
Students can access any desired information, search its
vast contacts and even download or print relevant
portions of the data for their composition or
presentation.
Multimedia Encyclopedia and Electronic
Books

• Electronic books provide textual information for reading,


supplemented by other types of multimedia information
(sounds, spoken word, pictures, animation).
• These are useful for learning, reading, spelling skills and
word skills.

2. The Computer as a
Teacher’s Tool
Constructivism
as an approach allows students to construct their
own concepts and meaning about anything.
Constructing can be done socially, so the term
social constructivism emerged.
Constructivism as an approach is employed when
a teacher makes use of computer as a tool in
teaching.
It is now easier for teachers to provide avenues
in which higher-level of thinking can be
achieve by students since computers now can
have problem-solving and simulation programs
installed in it. Specifically, a computer can be
used by the teacher:
o As an informative tool .
- A computer can provide vast amounts of
information in any form (text, graphics, sound
or video). With the Internet, a computer can
provide global information on anything.
- Computer alone is helpful but with the
Internet, it becomes even better.
- A teacher can use this to teach his/her students
develop researching and evaluative skills
(choose among sources which is/are reliable).
o As a communication tool
- With Internet, communication has become
better. A teacher can have a virtual class thus
defying space and still pursue the teaching
and learning process.
o  As a constructive tool
– With the programs installed in the computer,
students can construct their own works. They
can organize their ideas into multimedia
presentations or through texts. A teacher can
use the computer to allow his/her students to
develop their own concepts or express
themselves through computer creativity
activities.
o  As a co- constructive tool
– Students cannot only do an original work
in the computer but they also can share their
works with others. The teacher can make use
of this computer function to develop
cooperation among his/her students.
