- Summary:
-
Learner and program control of content review within computer assisted instruction (CAI) were studied to determine their effects on the posttest performance and attitudes of eighth grade students. The science-related instructional treatments were completed by 98 students who were blocked by gender and reading ability and randomly assigned to experimental treatments. It was found that students under learner control scored significantly higher on the posttest than those under program control, and males had significantly higher posttest scores than females and more favorable attitudes toward the instruction and toward computer use. A significant treatment X gender X reading ability interaction indicated that the differences in favor of learner control were due primarily to the significantly higher performance by high ability females and low ability males under learner control than under program control. Time to completion was the same for both groups of subjects. Overall results indicate that students under limited learner control adjust their study behavior to achieve greater learning in the same amount of time. Twenty-six references are listed, and statistical analyses are appended. (Author/MES)
