    CAI As A Great Help

    Uploaded by

    Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) can greatly help students in statistics courses by providing drill-and-practice, tutorial, and simulation activities. Research shows that CAI improves student learning through enhancing motivation, building confidence with mathematical concepts and computations, and allowing students to learn material faster or in greater depth than traditional instruction alone. Most studies conclude that CAI leads to more positive student attitudes towards statistics compared to conventional teaching methods.

    CAI as a great help

    The study of statistics can be tedious especially because of a lot of formulas to


    work with and computations that are long and difficult to use. Computer-assisted
    instruction (CAI) could be of great help because of the drill-and-practice, tutorial, or
    simulation activities offered either by themselves or as supplements to traditional teacher
    directed instruction. (Cotton, 2001Cotton, Kathleen. (2001), “Computer Assisted
    Instruction. North West Regional Educational Laboratory”. Cotton found in her study that
    computer software provides many instructional benefits and CAI can have a much greater
    impact on student learning.

    Mathematical aptitude has a lot to do with successful performance in an introductory


    statistics course and together with aptitude is a positive attitude toward mathematics. A
    successful student must gain quantitative and graphical insights along with
    mathematical and analytical abilities (Härdle, Klinke, and Marron 1999).

    -Härdle, W., Klinke, S., and Marron, J.S. (1999), “Connected Teaching of Statistics”.
    Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphic Newsletter, 10(1), 12–20.

    Research in mathematics education has shown that the computer facilitated the
    learning of concepts and computations of statistical formulas students of mathematics
    subject were more motivated, self-confident, joyful and the subject became more
    meaningful with CAI (Rochowicz, 1996Rochowicz, J. A.Jr. (1996).

    Attitudes about Mathematics”. Journal of Research on Computing in Education.

    Researchers have also found that CAI enhances learning rate i.e., students learned the
    same amount of material in less time than the traditionally instructed students or learned
    more material given the same amount of time. Moreover, students receiving CAI also
    retain their learning better (Cotton, 2001Cotton, Kathleen. (2001),

    “Computer Assisted Instruction. North West Regional Educational Laboratory”.

    Most researchers concluded that the use of CAI leads to more positive student attitudes
    than the use of conventional instruction. This general finding has emerged from studies
    of the effects of CAI on student attitudes as cited by Cotton (2001)
