Paper Abstract:
Examines effectiveness for children with disabilities through a review of contemporary research.
Paper Introduction:
The Effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Instruction
Introduction
Computers are a part of the school system. They are a part of the daily lives of many middle-class American children. They are used for playing games, but also for teaching basic information and core curricula. How effective is computer-assisted instruction in the year 2000, particularly for those children with disabilities?
Review of the Literature
Contemporary research frequently focuses on comparing one type of computer-assisted instruction to another, rather than CAI with non- CAI instruction. It seems as though the value of CAI is a given, and researchers are strictly concerned with how effectively computers can be utilized (e.g. Wise et al., 1999; Quealy
