    The document discusses five categories of instructional software: tutorials, simulations, drill and practice, educational games, and exploratory environments. Tutorials replicate traditional one-on-one instruction, simulations create controlled environments that mimic real-world scenarios, drill and practice reinforce skills, educational games emphasize competition and cooperation, and exploratory environments allow students to freely manipulate and explore information. Instructional software promotes personalized and motived learning, provides extended learning opportunities, addresses different learning styles, and develops problem-solving and metacognition skills through virtual and active learning experiences where students have direct control.

    LESSON 4:Instructional

    Software
    Lesson outcomes
     Identify and describe the five categories
    of instructional software, in terms of their
    features, characteristics and application
    in teaching and learning.
     Design a learning activity using the
    appropriate instructional software.
     Apply the use of instructional software in
    other academic discipline.
    Understanding System software,
    operating software and function
     System software is a type of computer
    program that is designed to run a computer's
    hardware and application programs.
     The operating System (OS)I is an example of
    system software. The OS manages All the
    other program in a computer. Computers
    cannot function without the Operating
    System.
    Two types of software

     Application software
     System software
    INSTRUCTIONAL SOFTWARE
     From the discussion about system software
    and application software, we can readily
    cite instructional software as an example
    of application software.
     Instructional Software is a computer
    program designed to assist in the delivery
    of instruction. The primary purpose of
    instructional Software is to support
    teaching and learning
    Five categories of Instructional
    Software
     In educational application, instructional
    Software comes in five categories namely:
    (Grabe & Grabe 1996)
     Tutorial
     Simulation
     drill and practice
     educational games
     exploratory environment
    Tutorial
     Traditionally, we think of tutorial as a
    mode of instruction which involves a
    teacher and one or two students. It is
    personalized in approaching because the
    pacing is based on the rate on the students
    progress.
     A high quality and well designed computer
    based tutorial have the basic feature of
    traditional tutorial approach.
    Simulation
     It provides a controlled learning environment that
    replicates the key element of the real world
    environment.

     It is designed so that the action a student takes


    place within the simulated environment produce
    rsesults similar to those that would take place in
    the real world.
    DRILL-AND-PRACTICE

    • Commonly used to reinforce


    mastery of specific skills.

    • Should not be used to introduce a


    new area.
    EDUCATIONAL GAMES

    • Designed to emphasize competition


    and entertainment.
    • May activate prior knowledge and
    can spark learners’ interest
    • Should emphasize cooperation and
    teamwork rather than competition.
    DRILL-AND-PRACTICE

    • Teachers must be sensitive in


    selecting the appropriate
    educational games that can engage
    students in meaning and higher
    order thinking.
    • “Experiental Learning”
    EXPLORATORY ENVIRONMENT
    SOFTWARE

    • Designed to provide manageable and


    responsive computer-based worlds for learners
    to explore and manipulate.
    • Will enable them to explore a body of
    information or a rule system
    • Present information but are not directive like
    tutorials
    EXPLORATORY ENVIRONMENT
    SOFTWARE

    • High degree of learner control, active learning


    is anchored on realistic situations and
    experiences
    • Considered student-centered in approach
    • Elements can be manipulated by the user in
    the course of interacting with this type of
    software.
    • Enhances students’ creativity and decision
    making skills.
    Advantages of
    Instructional
    Software
    1. It promotes
    personalized
    learning
    2. Increases
    students’
    motivation
    and creativity
    3. Provides
    extended
    learning
    opportunities
    and practices
    4. Address
    different
    learning styles
    5. Provides virtual
    and stimulated
    real life learning
    experiences
    6. Learners have
    direct control of
    their learning
    7. Develops
    problem solving
    skills
    8. Encourages
    active learning
    9. Fosters
    metacognition
    skills
