An educational technology discussion with a video background that amazed the viewers. it has a complete/informative contents as to the book.

1. Computer as a Tutor
Prepared by:
RAYMUND C. FRANCIA
Ed.Tech Instructor

2.  Educators saw much use of the PC.
 It has become affordable to small
business, industries and homes.
 PC has been a shown a big potential
for individualization of learning
 With size of forty or more,
individualized instruction is devised.

3. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
What a teacher must do?
1. Insure that students have the
needed knowledge and skills for
any computer activity.
2. Decide the appropriate learning
objectives.

4. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
What a teacher must do?
3. Plan the sequential and structured
activities to achieve objectives.
4. Evaluate the student’s achievement
by ways of tests of the specific
expected outcomes

5. Students in CAI play their roles as learners:
• Receive Information
• Understand Instruction for the computer
activity
• Retain/keep in mind the information
• Apply the knowledge and rules during the
process of computer learning.

6. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
Computer’s Roles in CAI
1. Act as a sort of tutor
2. Provides a learning environment
3. Delivers learning instruction
4. Reinforces learning through drill-
and-practice.
5. Provides feedback.

7. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
Today, educators accept the fact hat the
computer has indeed succeeded in
providing an individualized learning
environment so difficult for a teacher
handling whole classes.

8. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
Questions for Discussions
1. Do you believe CAI in some
future time can replace teachers in
the classroom?

9. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
Questions for Discussions
2. Since it is admitted that CAI relates to
lower learning skills (behaviorist and
cognitivist learning), what grade levels
would CAI drill-and-practice software
materials be useful? Do you think those
college will still want drill-and-practice
learning activities that provide plain
memorization (behaviorism)and brain
processing like a mere computer
(cognitivism)? (Clue: how about a drill/
procedural math activity?)

10. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
Questions for Discussions
3. What problem can be encountered
if a school (such as in poor countries)
cannot afford to provide enough
computers to students? Will CAI
work at all with a whole school using
a single computer?

11. Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI)
Questions for Discussions
4. What can the school neighborhood
community or non-government
organizations do to put public
schools on a fast track for the
integration of technology in public
education.
