COMPUTER TEACHING STRATEGIES (WEEK 11) Flashcards
- Used to communicate information to students in a time saving way.
- Teach critical thinking and problem solving
- Provide simulations of reality
- Educate from a distance
- Maximize time on task and help develop overlearning
- Provide interactivity, instructional consistency, reduction of teacher’s repetitive tasks, individualized instruction, time efficiency and cost effectiveness.
COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION (CAI) (5)
- Drill and Practice
- Tutorials
- Games
- Simulations
- Multi-media Presentations
➢ Simplest level of CAI
➢ Students have already learned certain information then, presented with repetition and application of the information.
Drill and Practice
➢ body of knowledge by presenting information and asking questions.
➢ Most useful in teaching material at the rule and concept level.
➢ Any information taught by means of lecture could potentially be written as a computer tutorial program
Tutorials
➢ Just as board games, card games and
trivia games
Games
➢ One of the most exciting available form of CAI.
➢ Provide students with opportunity to learn how to solve clinical problems and make sound decisions.
➢ Students can take risks and make mistakes with no danger to the patient.
Simulations
➢ Sometimes called hypermedia
➢ Programs may incorporate text, sound tracks, graphics, still photos, animation, video clips and material from the World Wide Web (WWW).
Multimedia Presentations
➢ Is the content accurate according to published subject knowledge?
➢ Is the information up to date?
Accuracy
➢ Are the instructions and commands easy to follow?
➢ Is there a user’s guide?
➢ Is there a tutorial in the program?
Ease of use
➢ Is this computer program the best way to deliver the content?
➢ Is interactivity built in?
➢ Does it make the content interesting?
Design
➢ Are there appropriate graphics?
➢ Is there animation and sound?
➢ Do the graphics and animation serve a real purpose or are they distracting
Appearance
➢ Does the program give the learner feedback on responses?
➢ Do opportunity exist to repeat material for which responses were incorrect?
➢ Are rationales given for the learner responses?
Feedback
➢ What is the purchase price? Are any discounts available?
➢ Can copies be made of the program?
Cost Effectiveness
- Teachers use computers to manage, prepare, organize and evaluate educational experiences.
- Programs designed to construct examinations fall on this category.
- Any system of record keeping such as: recording grades, keeping attendance record and recording
student profiles can also be CMI.
COMPUTER-MANAGED INSTRUCTION (CMI)
pre-developed software packages that guide the educator through the process of development of CAI.
