This document discusses the roles of teachers, learners, and computers in computer-assisted instruction (CAI). The teacher's role is to ensure students have the needed knowledge and skills for computer activities, set learning objectives, plan structured activities to meet objectives, and evaluate student achievement. The learner's role is to receive information, understand instructions, apply knowledge during activities. The computer's role is to act as a tutor by providing a learning environment, reinforcing learning through drill-and-practice, and providing feedback. The document also provides guidance for teachers on integrating drill-and-practice programs and describes characteristics of effective tutorial software.

a Tutor”

2. Computer
Assisted
Instruction (CAI)

3. Teacher’s Role:

Insure 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 ojectives.

Evaluate the students’ achievement by ways of tests
the specific expected outcomes.

4. Learner’s Role:
 Receives
information.
 Understand
instructions for computer activity.
 Keep
in mind the information and rules for the
computer activity.
 Apply
the knowledge and rules during the
process of computer learning.

5. Computers Role:
 Act
as a sort of tutor.
 Provides
a learning environment.
 Reinforces
 Provides
learning through drill-and-practice.
feedback.

Instruction (CAI)
Integrated with
Lessons

7. When and how can teachers
integrate drill and practice
programs with their lessons?

8.  Use
drill-and-practice programs for basic
skills and knowledge that require rapid and
automatic response by students.
 Ensure
that drill-and-practice activities
conform to the Lesson Plan or curriculum.

9.  Limit
drill-and-practice to 20-30 minutes to
avoid boredom.
 Use
drill-and-practice to assist students with
particular weakness in basic skills.

10. The tutorial software should…
 Be
able to teach new information to students.
 Provides
comprehensive information on
concepts in addition to practice exercises.
 Be
effectively used for remediation, reviewing
or enrichment.

11.  Allow
the teacher to introduce follow-up
questions to stimulate students’ learning.
 Permit
group activity for cooperative learning.
