Computer-aided instruction (CAI) effectively increases knowledge, regardless of individual learning preferences or computer attitudes. This study found no correlation between these factors and CAI performance.

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Learning preference describes how individuals approach learning.
  • Computer-aided instruction (CAI) allows educational content adaptation to learning strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if learning preference and computer attitude affect knowledge acquisition via CAI.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a prototype CAI program.

Main Methods:

  • 180 students completed the Learning Preference Inventory (LPI) and Computer Attitude Survey (CAS).
  • A prototype CAI program with varied exercises was used.
  • Knowledge acquisition was measured by pretests, posttests, and delayed posttests.

Main Results:

  • Student scores improved significantly from pretest (38.1%) to posttest (70.9%) and delayed posttest (62.5%).

  • No correlation was found between learning preferences, computer attitudes, and test performance.

    • Conclusions:

    • CAI effectively enhances knowledge acquisition.
    • Learner characteristics like learning preference and computer attitude do not correlate with CAI effectiveness.
