This document discusses various common teaching methods that utilize computer technology, including the internet, computer-managed instruction, computer-assisted instruction, and self-learning modules. It provides details on how each method uses computers and online resources to enhance the teaching and learning process, enable access to educational materials, and allow students to learn at their own pace through interactive lessons and assessments with immediate feedback. The document also explores how computer technology can help improve basic skills instruction, advance more complex skills, assess student progress more comprehensively, and increase student motivation in the learning process.

2. Other Common Teaching
Methods
 The Internet
 Computer Managed Instruction
 Computer Technology and Learning
 Computer Teaching Strategies
 Self-learning Modules

3. The Internet
 Internet is a global system of interconnected
computer networks that use the standard Internet
Protocol suite (IP) to serve billions of users
worldwide.
 Educational material at all levels from
pre-school to post-doctoral is available from
websites in the internet.
 The Internet in general and the World Wide Web
in particular are important enablers of
both formal and informal education.

4. How?
 Used as a resource for problems,
answers, ideas and more
 Can be used in a “how to research” lesson
 A group can cheaply communicate and
discuss ideas via chatting and online
conference (online class)
 Messages can be exchanged even more
quickly and conveniently via email or online
chat
 May allow files to be exchanged, drawings
and images to be shared, or voice and video

5. Computer Managed Instruction
 an instructional strategy whereby the computer is
used to provide learning objectives, learning
resources, and assessment of learner
performance
 aids the instructor in instructional management
without actually doing the teaching
 a system in which a computer is used to manage
several aspects of instruction, including learning
assessment through administration of pretests
and posttests; design and preparation of learning
prescriptions; and calculation, analysis, and
storage of student scores.

6.  A self-learning technique, usually
offline/online, involving interaction of the
student with programmed instructional
materials.
 Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) is an
interactive instructional technique whereby
a computer is used to present the instructional
material and monitor the learning that takes
place.
 CAI uses a combination of text, graphics,
sound and video in enhancing the learning
process.

7.  Typical CAI provides
 1. text or multimedia content
 2. multiple-choice questions
 3. problems
 4. immediate feedback
 5. notes on incorrect responses
 6. summarizes students' performance
 7. exercises for practice
 8. Worksheets and tests.

8. Types of Computer Assisted Instruction
 1. Drill-and-practice Drill and practice provide
opportunities or students to repeatedly practice
the skills that have previously been presented
and that further practice is necessary for mastery.
 2. Tutorial Tutorial activity includes both the
presentation of information and its extension into
different forms of work, including drill and
practice, games and simulation.
 3. Games Game software often creates a contest
to achieve the highest score and either beat
others or beat the computer.

9.  4. Simulation Simulation software can provide an
approximation of reality that does not require the
expense of real life or its risks.
 5. Discovery Discovery approach provides a
large database of information specific to a course
or content area and challenges the learner to
analyze, compare, infer and evaluate based on
their explorations of the data.
 6. Problem Solving This approach helps
children develop specific problem solving
skills and strategies.

10. Computer Technology and
Learning
How Does Technology
Enhance Student
Achievement?
Basic Skills Instruction
Advanced Skills Instruction
Assessment of Student
Progress
Student Motivation

11. Computer Technology and
Learning
 Basic Skills Instruction
 Computer assisted instruction- to drill
 Multi-media software - teach to a variety of
learning styles
 Videodiscs - strengthen basic skills
 Video and audio technologies - bring material
to life
 Distance learning - at least as effective as
traditional methods of instruction
 All forms - develop new skills related to use of
technology itself, necessary in workplace

12. Computer Technology and
Learning
 Advanced Skills Instruction
 Interactive educational technologies,
including:
 Computer-generated simulations
 Videodiscs
 Internet
 CD-ROM
 Students learn to: organize complex
information, recognize patterns, draw
inferences, communicate findings
 Learn better organizational and problem-
solving skills

13. Computer Technology and
Learning
 Assessment of Student Progress
More comprehensive with multimedia
Assessments which require student’s
active participation
Electronic portfolios

14. Computer Technology and
Learning
 Student Motivation
They like it better
Increased family involvement
Improved teachers’ skills
Improved School Administration
and Management

15. Computer Teaching Strategies
Computed Assisted
Instruction (CAI)
The Internet
Virtual Reality

16. Computer Teaching Strategies
 Virtual Reality
a computer- based, simulated three-
dimensional environment in which
the participant interacts with a virtual
world.
only in virtual reality can the learner
enter a virtual world and feel an
object, move it, and measure its
movement.

17. Self-learning Modules (SLM)
 are learning activities designed for
participants to do independently when they
are unable to attend individual or group
education sessions
