Effectiveness of Computer Assisted Instruction in Teaching-Learning Process of Mathematics at College Level: An Experimental Study
Abstract
The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of computer assisted instruction (CAI) as an approach of teaching and learning of Mathematics. Mathematics has been considered a significant subject in all the curricula right from primary to tertiary levels. But, mathematics has been projected as the most dreadful and dry subject. In this experimental study, the investigators tried to prove that mathematics can be learnt by all students at any level ensuring the mastery over it. The investigators carried out an experiment of selecting a sample of 30 B.Sc. first year students of mathematics and dividing these students into two equal groups designating as an experimental group of (CAI) and control group (CMT). For the completion of the study, pre-test and post-test experimental design was adopted and the experiment proved that CAI remained as an effective approach of imparting instruction in the classroom concerning to Mathematics course content as compared to conventional method of teaching of Mathematics tertiary level.
