The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of multimedia computer assisted instruction (MCAI), traditional instruction (TI), and combined instruction (CI) methods on learning the long jump event. Forty-eight middle school students of seventh and eighth grade were randomly assigned into three teaching method groups: MCAI, TI and CI. Each group received ten 45-min periods of instructio...

The use of microcomputers has increased dramatically in schools across the nation during the past decade. In 1981, there were only 31.000 computers in use in secondary schools. This number grew to over 325,000 by 1983 and has doubled every year since (Johnson, Johnson, & Stanne, 1985). As computer technology grows, educators must continue to seek out and find situations in which the use of comp...

A multiple baseline design across subjects with a reversal was used to examine the effects of classwide peer tutoring relative to traditional reading instruction on reading skills and social interaction time for 3 high-functioning students with autism and their typical peers in integrated, general education classrooms. Traditional reading instruction consisted largely of teacher-led instruction...

BACKGROUND Virtual microscopy is being introduced in medical education as an approach for learning how to interpret information in microscopic specimens. It is, however, far from evident how to incorporate its use into existing teaching practice. The aim of the study was to explore the consequences of introducing virtual microscopy tasks into an undergraduate pathology course in an attempt to r...

HP and Intel have recently introduced a new style of instruction set architecture called EPIC (Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing), and a specific architecture called the IPF (Itanium Processor Family). This paper seeks to illustrate the differences between EPIC architectures and former styles of instruction set architectures such as superscalar and VLIW. Several aspects of EPIC architec...

The current study sought to explore the impact of SFL-oriented register instruction on Iranian EFL learner’ writing performance with a central focus on their English proficiency level. As its secondary aim, the study delved deeply into the learners’ perception of the register-based instruction. To these ends, 50 intermediate and 50 advanced Iranian EFL learners were selected randomly and assign...

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of multimedia computer assisted instruction on student learning achievement using the high school curriculum entitled “molecules that dominate secret of life” from high school biology. The results show that when compared to traditional models of instruction, students using the multimedia computer assisted instruction model scored signi...

One of the more dramatic demonstrations of the failure of introductory mechanics courses occurred in 1985 when Halloun and Hestenes2 (HH) published a careful study of pre/post testing of 560 Arizona State University students enrolled in both calculus and non-calculus-based courses. HH used their Mechanics Diagnostic2a (MD) test, 36 multiple-choice questions assessing students’ ability to discri...
