Paper Introduction:
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COMPUTER-ASSISTED INSTRUCTION FOR READING:
AN OPINION PAPER
Introduction
Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) consists of computer technologies that aid or assist education; these technologies include guided drill and practice exercises, computer visualization of objects, and computer-facilitated communication (Gifford, 1993). This paper examines computer-assisted instruction in terms of its effectiveness as an educational technology for reading, defending the position that CAI helps to improve reading but it has some definitive limitations, the most important of which is that the technology does not really produce the key reading component of comprehension.
The paper begins with a discussion of the general
