This True Experimental study compared academic performance of students in class VIII in initial tryout in one of the English Medium Schools of Vadodara, India among three methods of teaching arithmetic subject viz. (i) Conventional Method (in control group –C), (ii) Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) only (in Experimental Group A Exp A) and (iii) Computer Assisted Instruction with simultaneous...

Computer-assisted language learning is by now so common around the world as to be something of a default, and the teaching of the indigenous languages of the Americas is already benefiting from the new technology. Intelligent computer-assisted language learning relies on software that has relatively sophisticated models of the target language and/or the learner. An example is the use of a progr...

This paper presents literature search outcomes concerning computer-assisted teaching and learning of physics and its efficiency, informs about translation and customization of PhET physics applets and introduces new database of links related to physics and physics education which should serve mainly to physics teachers.

This paper presents a possible approach for developing a violin teaching aid based on violin pedagogy, sound analysis and comparison of beginner and good player recordings. This teaching aid is targeted at students who have difficulty listening attentively to the sounds they produce. It aims to draw their attention to the sound of a fault, offer correction and to train the user’s ear to activel...

Work in the last decade shows, that Computer-Assisted Pronunciation Teaching (CAPT) systems are useful, flexible tools for giving pronunciation instructions and evaluating at subject’s speech. This paper describes a newly developed CAPT system that intends to address appropriate teaching of such supra-segmental parameters as intonation, stress and speech rhythm. Two modules are implemented: (1)...

This paper brieey explores some issues associated with the use of computer-assisted learning/teaching methods in power systems education. Power students' perception regarding computer literacy and power educators' general attitude regarding a computer-oriented approach to power systems educ-tion will be dealt with in some detail. A computer simulation-based teaching/learning method adopted for ...

Two studies examined effects of computer-assisted (CA) teaching methods in introductory psychology classes. In Study 1, we provided students with lectures supplemented with either overhead transparencies or CA visuals. In Study 2, we compared students who used an optional Web site with students who did not. In both studies we held constant lecture content, course instructor, exams, and assignme...

BACKGROUND Peer assisted learning (PAL) has been described as "the development of knowledge and skill through active help and support among status equals or matched companions". To enhance the learning experience of health professions students and improve collaborative and collegial learning, six pilot Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) projects were conducted across a health science faculty. METHO...
