Deals with “Computer Assisted Instruction” (CAI) or in other words “Computer Based Education” (CBE) or “Computer Assisted Learning” (CAL) which is the method of utilizing computer system in instructional education. Analyzes CAI in terms of hardware, software, computer literacy, and research. Distinguishes two systems of hardware, noting “Time Sharing System” which consists of central processing unit and input-output equipment, and “Microcomputer” which comprises input-output equipment and memory. Indicates that software of CAI has the same principle as “Program Instruction” of Skinner and “Teaching Machine” of Pressley but emphasizing on individualization. Describes computer literacy in terms of program language of CAI which is not so complicated as basic language but anyway it is still quite difficult to draw a good program. Concludes with consideration on research by discovering that “Drill and Practice” is the good method for instruction while foreign language is the most efficient subject. |
