This book was released on 2014 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 60 years of education reform, including the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) in 1958, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 1975, and No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2002, the achievement gap still existed at the beginning of the 21st century, and the effectiveness of the U.S. public school system continued to be questioned. This study was conducted to examine the effect of the use of a computer-assisted instruction curriculum, Achieve 3000®, among select secondary reading students in a central Florida school district and their implications for student achievement. This study showed significant difference existed in the type of students rather than the reading program. The ANCOVA performed on all students and the ANOVAs performed for exceptional education students, males and females, free/reduced lunch and ethnic subgroups did not show a significant statistical difference in the 2012-2013 reading achievement scores. The Achieve 3000® reading program did not close the achievement gap any more than the non-Achieve 3000® reading program. Conversely, the ANOVA performed for English language learners did show a significant statistical difference between the 2012-2013 reading achievement scores. However, the effect size each question was small indicating the practical implication was also small. Ultimately, this study made a strong argument for the need for further research.
Download or read book Computers As Cognitive Tools written by Susanne P. Lajoie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highlighting and illustrating several important and interesting theoretical trends that have emerged in the continuing development of instructional technology, this book's organizational framework is based on the notion of two opposing camps. One evolves out of the intelligent tutoring movement, which employs artificial-intelligence technologies in the service of student modeling and precision diagnosis, and the other emerges from a constructivist/developmental perspective that promotes exploration and social interaction, but tends to reject the methods and goals of the student modelers. While the notion of opposing camps tends to create an artificial rift between groups of researchers, it represents a conceptual distinction that is inherently more interesting and informative than the relatively meaningless divide often drawn between "intelligent" and "unintelligent" instructional systems. An evident trend is that researchers in both "camps" view their computer learning environments as "cognitive tools" that can enhance learning, performance, and understanding. Cognitive tools are objects provided by the instructional environment that allow students to incorporate new auxiliary methods or symbols into their social problem solving which otherwise would be unavailable. A final section of the book represents researchers who are assimilating and accommodating the wisdom and creativity of their neighbors from both camps, perhaps forming the look of technology for the future. When the idea of model tracing in a computer-based environment is combined with appreciation for creative mind-extension cognitive tools and for how a community of learners can facilitate learning, a camp is created where AI technologists and social constructivist learning theorists can feel equally at home.

Download or read book Computer Based Education in the Social Studies written by Lee Ehman and published by Social Studies Development Center. This book was released on 1987 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computers have not revolutionized social studies curricula because so few teachers use them. But research does indicate that computers are flexible instructional tools that can assist in the development of attitudes, intellectual motivation, and inquiry skills. Social studies educators need to consider expanded computer use in their classrooms because computers assist in the preparation of students for effective participation in society. Teachers must understand how technology affects instruction, learning, and classroom environments, along with the types of effective instructional strategies that can be used to achieve specific goals. Educators should acquire the knowledge and experience needed to use computers by reviewing research relating to computer use in teaching and to instructional strategies. Information on research concerning the impact of computers on students, how computers change the way teachers' work, computers' effect on the training process, and computers' influence on the social studies curriculum is included. Necessary teacher competencies and appropriate instructional uses are explored through an analysis of teacher utility programs, databases, data analysis programs, and simulations. A 76-item bibliography concludes the document. (JHP)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present findings from an evaluation study of the Dual-Teacher program, a computer- assisted instruction program, that makes lecture videos and other teaching resources from an elite urban middle school available through the internet to schools in poor and remote areas in China. The unique design of the study allows us to not just estimate the effect of the program on student performance but distinguish the direct effect coming from students' exposure to the lecture videos in class and the indirect effect due to improved instruction quality of the local teacher who uses the lecture videos in lesson preparation. Using the difference-in-differences method, we find that the Dual-Teacher program improves student performance in math by 0.978 standard deviations over the three-year middle school education, of which 0.343 standard deviations are attributable to the indirect effect. We also find that the positive impacts of the program are cumulative and robust to student and teacher characteristics as well as a plethora of other considerations. From a policy perspective, our findings suggest that the Dual-Teacher program is an effective and low cost means to improve education outcomes in underserved areas and hence help close cross-region gaps in education.

Download or read book Effects of Self paced Computer assisted Instruction on the Behavior Choices of At risk Students in a Suspension Program written by Christie Jean McElhinney and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores self-paced, computer-assisted instruction as a variable affecting the behavior of at-risk students in a long-term suspension program. The use of technology as an aspect of classroom procedures is becoming more and more common. Studies show consistently positive results on student engagement with the use of technology in the classroom, especially for at-risk students. However, the effect of classroom technology on student behavior has not been sufficiently researched to provide solid conclusions. This study examines whether or not student behaviors differ between students in a classroom utilizing computer-assisted instruction (CAI) and students in a classroom utilizing textbook-based instruction. Daily behavior reports from the two classroom teachers participating in the study were examined. Prospective causal-comparative research design was used to determine whether CAI made a significant difference in behaviors exhibited by students when compared to a textbook-based classroom. Results from the data analysis fail to reject the null hypotheses and any difference in student behaviors occurred by chance.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report summarizes a series of eight research studies related to the use of computer-assisted instruction (cai) with mildly handicapped students at the junior high or high school level. Through videodisc and cai the studies isolated the effects of the following design variables: (1) review cycles; (2) size of teaching sets; (3) explicit strategies; and (4) correction procedures. Studies involved three different kinds of CAI--drill and practice, tutorials, and simulations. Results indicated that properly designed cai can be effective as an instructional medium if attention is paid to the academic task, the stage of instruction, and the role of the teacher. Detailed reports are presented in the form of preprints or reprints of journal articles with the following titles:"Applying Instructional Design Principles to cai for Mildly Handicapped Students: Four Recently Conducted Studies" (John Woodward et al.); "Effects of Instructional Design Variables on Vocabulary Acquisition of ld Students: a Study of Computer-Assisted Instruction" (Gary Johnson et al.); "Elaborated Corrective Feedback and the Acquisition of Reasoning Skills: a Study of Computer-Assisted Instruction" (Maria Collins et al.); "Teaching Problem Solving through Computer Simulations" (John Woodward et al.); "The Effectiveness of Videodisc Instruction in Teaching Fractions to Learning-Disabled and Remedial High School Students" (Bernadette Kelly et al.); and "Closing the Performance Gap in Secondary Education" (John Woodward et al.).

Download or read book Hypermedia Learning Environments written by Piet A.M. Kommers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypermedia and multimedia have penetrated the world of computer games, Internet, and CD-ROM based reference manuals. However, the fields of education, schooling, and training ask more specific benefits from them. This book provides practical approaches to transform these media into learning tools. Crucial helping steps include the migration from expository to exploratory learning strategies, the integration of collaborative learning practices in plenary and individualistic teaching styles, and the evolution from test-driven to experience-oriented training. This volume has three goals: * to discuss the concepts of hypermedia, multimedia, and hypertext and review pertinent research lines; * to provide guidelines and suggestions for developing multimedia applications; and * to place technology within a broader context of education and training through a discussion of rich environments for active learning (REALs). The book takes a developmental focus to helpf readers set up and manage the process of developing a multimedia application. It is not a technical or a how-to manual on working with video, sound, digitized graphics, or computer code. The text takes a unique approach to the idea of media-- viewing media as delivery systems: if video is called for, use it; if sound will help in an application, use it. The fundamental guidelines presented here are usually not media specific. Media works only within the strategies with which they are used. Aimed at practitioners--people who teach about or develop multimedia and hypermedia applications--this volume carefully examines the main components and issues in developing applications. It provides suggestions and heuristics for sound, fundamental design processes.
